The newest in Netflix drek!

So, I followed through on my promise from last time and watched the "winner" of the last NF:AYFKM poll.  It was Underdog.  And I watched it.  And reviewed it here.  And I hate you all for it.  Oh, and there's a poll for this installment as well.  Click here to vote for what I watch and write up next from this list!  And now, on with the crap.


Monster
Does this look like the poster for Cloverfield?  That's because this is the rip off.  Straight from the same people that brought you:
"Dragon" (Lord of the Rings), "Night of the Dead" (Um, Night of the Living Dead?), Snakes on a Train (oh, c'mon!), Straun House (Hostile).
This is their Cloverfield.  Instead of them taking video they find the clips on Youtube.com.  Reportedly, the movie takes place a couple of years before Youtube got started, but what do you expect.  See their catalogue on IMDB here and weep.

Good Luck Chuck 
Good Luck Chuck
I have no idea why things like this get the green light.  I mean, I know they trick people into paying to see it because it has stars, but they must know that the movie will get nothing but bad reviews...  Oh, "paying to see it".  I answered my own question.

Teenape Goes to Camp
I'm not familiar with the teenape series.  Apparently someone wears an ape mask?  Wacky hijinks?  Whistles blow?

Wedding Daze
Jason Biggs, please stop doing that thing that I've seen you do a lot.  You know, that thing.  With the clothes and the movie covers.  Oh yeah, it's called "Being in movies".  Stop it.

The Attic
"Upon moving into a new home, Emma and her family grow increasingly unhappy. But that's not surprising … considering there's a ghost haunting the abode."
Um, isn't that the whole plot?  Am I done now?  I really don't see the point in pursuing this.

Ghost Son
You now that quiet, creepy movie Nicole Kidman did?  It was called "Birth".  It was good in a strange, disquieting way.  Now, imagine if Sci-Fi made it into a movie of the week.  Hello.

Red Eye
A train has an accident and kills 100 people.  Then someone rides a train and has visions of death.  It's the possed train back for more!  And that's really the plot.

Dragon Wars
My wife pointed out that if something so thin in plot was made with anything except dragons then it wouldn't appear to be as stupid.  That may be, but this still looks stupid.  If a 11 year old boy's mind could ejaculate onto film, this would be it.

White Noise 2
Pro: It stars Nathan Fillion.
Con:  It has nothing to do with the first one, plot wise.
Pro:  It has nothing to do with the first one, plot wise.

Days of Darkness
The description actually contains the following lines:
When a comet strikes Earth and kicks up a cloud of toxic dust, hundreds of humans join the ranks of the living dead. But there's bad news for the survivors: The newly minted zombies are hell-bent on eradicating every last person from the planet.
So, good news is that there are zombies.  Bad news is they want to kill us.  Because having zombies around can sometimes not be a bad thing.

Mammoth
Tagline should be:
This time - fur is murder!

Scarred
A guy's daughter goes missing.  A year later he comes back to the place where he lost her and a stranger offers to take him to her.  Wacky terror ensues.  Honestly, why don't they just make a move where the plot is:
"A guy lives a normal life.  Then one day it gets scary."

Mr. Woodcock
Synopsis:
"Watch as Susan Sarandon spends 87 minutes losing her dignity."

Now that I've shown you what's out there, now it's your turn to do me in.  Click here and vote for how you want to hurt me this time.

PS  Ok, In The Name of the King: A dungeon Siege Tale is still in theatres but this review makes me so eager!  I can't wait until it comes out on DVD and I can put it in one of these lists!

Just vote in the poll and I'll count it. After sitting through Underdog I don't think there are any doubts as to how serious I am about this.

I've narrowed down the whole list to a much more manageable poll here:
