Top Movie Cliches of 2006
WORSTS 
Tags: movies, cliches, 2006, bad, repetition
Last year was bad for cinema cliches. See what was overdone in 2006. Is there anything else you couldn't help but be annoyed by? Add it here!
| | ‘The’ Movies: This year, we were treated to a whole new batch of The ______s in theaters. The Illusionist, The Marine, The Queen, The Guardian, The Sentinal, The Benchwarmers, and The Departed were just a few. | | | Sequels that nobody/everybody’s been waiting for!: Every year we’re blessed with a bunch of sequels that are guaranteed to a) make a lot of money and b) be terrible. In 2006, though, they added another item to the list: c) make sure it’s a sequel to a franchise that should have died years ago. Basic Instinct II, Rocky VI, Van Wilder 2, Superman Returns. | | | Talking animals, people: Over The Hedge: talking rodents. Happy Feet: talking penguins. Barnyard: talking farm animals. Ant Bully: talking ants. Sadly, most of the dialogue spoken by animated animals in 2006 was probably better than most of the dialogue spoken by actual people. | | | Eugene Levy. Again.: In 2006 the Thickly Eyebrowed One added another 4 movies to his IMDB profile: Curious George, Over The Hedge, For Your Consideration and American Pie 5: The Naked Mile. | | | Get that thing off that plane: United 93 and Snakes On A Plane, though incredibly different in tone, were essentially about the same thing: it’s never good when you have bad s**t going down on a plane. | | | Big funny comedies… without the funny: Nacho Libre, School For Scoundrels, Click, My Super Ex-Girlfriend, Tenacious D: The Pick of Destiny, and even Talladega Nights let us down just a little bit this year. The only comedy we could count on for a real laugh was the one with that hilarious comedian taking on a stereotypically offensive role and interacting with people who don’t know what to do: Larry The Cable Guy: Health Inspector. | | | Big Budget Letdowns: The Da Vinci Code? More like, The Da Vinci No! MI:3? More like MI: Not me! Poseidon? More like… um… Pose-I-Don’t want to go see that movie. You get the idea. Big budget movies blew worse than bad puns in 2006. | | | The devil is so hot right now: The devil was everywhere in 2006. He wore Prada, he hung out with Daniel Johnston, and he made a cameo in The Omen. If he keeps this up, maybe someday he’ll be as prolific as Eugene Levy. Nahhh… not even the devil could pull that off. | | | Singing and dancing and singing and dancing! Hooray!: If Hollywood is serious about bringing back the musical– and based on Idlewild, Dreamgirls, and Happy Feet, I think they are– maybe they could throw the men in this country a bone and bring back the western too. No, Brokeback Mountain didn’t count. Try again. | | | Movie magic was so… Magical!: In 2006, movie magic made us believe that Cars could talk. It made us believe that Santa had an Escape Clause, that Miami was still in need of a Vice squad, that Dane Cook was the Employee Of The Month and that we have a problem with motherf**king Snakes on our motherf**king Planes. Movie magic did so much this year… but it somehow managed to still not make the two movies about magic, The Prestige & The Illusionist, look the least bit interesting. |
