Most Disappointing Film/Best Film to Watch Under the Influence Awards!

Happy Friday! We've got our first batch of awards to unleash, so hit the bathroom, turn on the TiVo and lock the cat in the closet because the Kamo and Kochems Film Blog Awards have officially begun!

Most Disappointing Film

I wanted to start the welcome to 2011 right by pointing out, in true Festivus fashion, the biggest disappointments of 2010. This might have been by far the toughest category for me to judge since, well, there was a ton of shit served up to us last year. Really, my nominee's for this category are about 18 movies- I almost asked Mike to let me extend the nominee's like to ten just so I could vent about all of this garbage.

So here you are, people- a depressed person's uplifting moment.. the nominees for the Most Disappointing Film of 2010!

Dinner for Schmucks
Kick-Ass
A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010)
Clash of the Titans (2010)
Prince of Persia: Sands of Time

And the Winner is...
A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010)

It's truly baffling that a story that had been so well rounded twenty-five years ago could fall so far under the digital age. Yeah, the effects are outstanding but that doesn't make a movie good. There were some real contenders here, but this one stands as a major black mark on the 21st century and its plethora of awful horror remakes.


Best Movie to Watch Under the Influence

Drugs, booze or "other", these movies are made all the better while under the influence. Maybe they're funnier or just plain awesome, see if your favorites make this list.

(NOTE: We are not condoning anything illegal to be done during the viewing of these films, nor are we implying that we have done as such, this is mere speculation and firsthand experience... I mean, secondhand experience)

Due Date
A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010)
Alice in Wonderland (2010)
Hot Tub Time Machine
Machete

And the Winner is...
Machete

Alice in Wonderland would have been awesome (of course) to watch under the influence and Hot Tub Time Machine would be hilarious, but there was something about watching Machete with a case of beer and a bottle of Wild Turkey that brought it over the top (like it wasn't over the top to begin with, right?). Heads getting chopped off, nudity, a mans entrails being used as a rope, Danny Trejo being a complete badass... amazing.
