In the Beginning

2 Friends stars, Half a dozen rappers, a Spice Girl, an American Idol, A couple of Super Models, 2 Academy award winning Best Actors, Multiple Academy Award Best Actor Nominees,  2 multi Grammy award winning Artists, a BAFTA/Golden Globe/ Academy award winning Actress, Hercules  The Nanny, A handful of comedians, And Lastly (and just because I want to write about it)
 2 NBA stars that between them have:
9 NBA Championships – 17 NBA All Star Selections – 8 All-NBA First Team selections – 2 All-NBA Second Team Selections – 6 All-NBA Third Team Selections – 7 All-Defensive First Team Selections – 4 All-Defensive Second Team Selections – 1 NBA All-Rookie First team Selection – 1 NBA MVP Award - 3 NBA Finals MVP Awards – 3 NBA All-Star Game MVP Awards – 1 NBA Rookie of The Year Award  - 2 NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award – 7 Times NBA Rebounding Champion – 2 Times  NBA Scoring Champion – and 1 FIBA World Championship MVP award.

So yeah they were/are pretty good at Basketball…

Now while all these people are obviously rather successful, and throughout their careers have garnered much fame and fortune for themselves, and of course entertained millions and millions of people along the way. They all, all of them have one thing in common (They probably have many but I only care about 1). They have all had their not quite so shining moments. The kind of moment where you really start to question how much thought went into reaching the decision that led to the outcome. You may wonder whether it came to that as a result of losing a bet …..With someone who probably hates them.

So what’s all this about anyway?

Well myself and a couple of friends are about to embark upon a journey. Not one of those mystical soul searching journeys to find the meaning of life or anything like that.. But a Nerve testing, Eye scratching, possibly sleep depriving journey, which may end with me developing a nervous tick, and Tourette’s.

The challenge is to watch 100 movies by 31/12/2011 and blog about them, but not just any movies. In order to examine the not so shining moments of some very famous people’s careers, we needed a list, a list that was looked for, and eventually found in the form of:
IMDB’s bottom 100 movies as voted by IMDB users.
Containing movies like; 2003 Blockbuster “Anus Magillicutty” and the 1964 Classic “The Incredibly Strange creatures Who Stopped Living And Became Mixed-Up Zombies!!?”
However for Sanity’s sake I may actually watch some movies not on the list and “review” them as well. So as I “Review” essentially the worst 100 movies ever made – as judged by IMDB users -  I will be revealing the well known (to me) Celebrities involved in these marvels of cinema as I work my way through the list. Starting with number 100:
Hababam sinifi askerdeApparently it’s Turkish.
It should be a cracker, I cant wait!
Interestingly it Stars Mehmet Ali Erbil (I’d never heard of him either) who is also the STAR Actor of the list, featuring in no less than 4 of the movies in the bottom 100. Way to go Mehmet!!!
So. Which Actress features in more of the bottom 100 than any other actress??? Well I guess you can go through the cast list of all 100 movies in the list, or stay tuned and eventually I’ll tell you.
Be sure to check out www.ayearwithoscar.blogspot.com which is what inspired and motivated me to undertake this project. Yeah you know I basically stole your idea and changed it up a bit, Thanks Ree!

Next up My review of IMDB’s bottom 100 movies as voted by IMDB users number 100.
