Clint Eastwood couldn’t save the script of **Shuffling Towards the Line of Fire**. Kevin Smith’s screenplay for **Ideas That May Eventually Become Solidified Beyond Question or Change** really blew. Tom Cruise was really bad in **Worlds Still at Peace**. **Constructing the Iron Giant** really wasn’t much of a kid’s film, despite good animation. **Napoleon Goes to Grammar School** was a bit dry for my tastes. While some hot scenes almost saved **Getting Ready for Bed on Elm Street** , on the whole, it was rather pointless. ---

Michael Douglas was so so in **The American Presidential Nominee**. Four lawyer dramas that failed to capture audience share: [ **Mortal Binding Arbitration** **Monsters Submit Incorporation Papers** , **My Paralegal Vincenczo Gambini,** and **Eleven Mildly Annoyed Youths** The animated not-so-classic **Charlotte Lays Out Her Orb Lines** gave no hint of the web-to-be. Other animated prequels to avoid are **The Courtship of Nemo’s Father** and **Princess Fionna–Diary of a Young Girl** **Gecko Dundee** nearly sunk the careers of Paul Hogan and the Geico spokes"person." Keano Reeves was actually not too bad in **Getting It Up to Half-Speed** , but unfortunately the title turned off main stream audiences. And, of course, everyone knows that Johnny Depp would like to forget his teenage debut in **Juvenile Delinquents of the Caribbean: Oath of the Grey Mollusk Irritant** ---
