Forget the Oscars. The real awards show to watch is the Razzies, "honoring" the year's most soul-crushing films of the year. The nominations have just been announced and (drumroll please) the gods of criticism have decreed that Expendables 3, The Legend of Hercules, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and the overwrought religious duo of Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas and Left Behind should be avoided at all costs . . . unless you're entertained by the trainwreck that is truly bad movies, in which case, get your Netflix queue ready!
With seven nominations, the year's stinkiest turd in the trash heap is Transformers: Age of Extinction, a disturbingly bad film that also promoted the virtues of statutory rape.
Justice served.
