Bottom-10 movies:
1. Batman and Robin (it can't get any worse than that... Arnie had some cool
one-liners though)

3. Highlander 2 (I tried to watch it but 2/3 of the movie were pitch black :-)
4. Tomb Raider 2 (Sorry Angelina!)
5. Spawn (disgusting jokes, first and only time I stopped eating in front of my TV. So this is a B.A.D. movie BUT can help you a lot if you wanna lose weight!)
6. Problem Child (bad movie but I think this kid has a future!)
7. Austin Powers 3: Goldmember (maybe the worst jokes in a movie ever)
8. The Relic (just bad)
9. Gun Shy
10. Johnny English (cold jokes that you can easily foretell their outcome.
Natalie was cool ...)
Also, I am a maniac-gone berserk collector of retro soccer games!
Anything before mid-90's will do! My personal favorite is KickOff 3 (that's for a surprise, ha?) especially the SuperNES adaptation. Here is a list of my personal
favorite retrosoccer (football to us Europeans) games.
Top-5 soccer games:
1. KickOff 3, polished SuperNES edition, baby!
2. Striker for the PC (too bad the console conversions were awful)
3. Super Sidekicks, for the infamous NeoGeo console
4. Tehkan World Cup (a view from the top, yeah!)
5. Head-on Soccer, SEGA Genesis, that's a cult piece!
You DO know what they say... If you can't kick it, it's not worth it!
