It's a special day in my life when I see a movie that can actually be added to the worst-ever list. This is due primarily to the fact that a movie really has to suck for it to even be considered for the list. These movies have a special place in my heart because they are the ones by which all other movies that I dislike are judged.

For example, when I saw The Fountain with Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz I said to myself, "That was one weird movie." But when comparing it to the worst-ever list, it was just too much better than those to even be considered. The Fountain was at least a visually stunning movie.

Then I watched Premonition with Sandra Bullock. Wow. What a terrible movie. It's the kind of movie that makes you appreciate the better experiences in life -- root canals, junior high gym class and the smell of week-old, coagulated baby formula.

The good news about the worst-ever list is that there's always room for more. Just because Premonition makes the cut doesn't mean that any of the others somehow get abandoned. If you made the same mistake as I did and have already seen this film, contact me, I'm starting a support group.
