RE: [scifinoir2] Rotten Tomatoes Picks Worst Movies of the Last Decade
Keith, an addendum to my revious on this -- I'd sooner re-watch Bad Boys 2 than Ballistic, even if you cut Gabrielle out of the former entirely.

Does the fact that I kinda liked The New Guy stand as a mark against me? Beyond that, the list looks pretty solid, though how U__ B__l barely cracked the Top Fifty with BloodRayne is amazing, in and of itself. That's the stuff of nightmares.
