Ever had an experience on seeing movies that you don’t even like what you are watching and just want to do something else? There is debate over what are the worst movies ever. Rotten Tomatoes, the cinema critique website, has just released their list, voted on by members, of the Top Ten worst movies ever, and these certainly are among the worst of worst of bad movies. Doubtless the makers of said films would give a faxless payday loan to get their film off the list, but movies such as Half Past Dead, The Master of Disguise, King's Ransom, and Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever, all got on the list for a reason. (The reason is that these films are terrible.) Most of these films on the list of the worst movies ever need debt relief, as they mostly bombed at the box office.
