A brief detour from our usual beat to consider some of the worst movies of the past year -- just for the fun of it.

Lindsay Lohan and Julia Ormond star in I Know Who Killed Me, a thriller out this week on DVD that Nathan Rabin of the A.V. Club writes is "laughable, low-grade schlock...The Parent Trap as remade by the Marquis de Sade." Still, the L.A. Weekly found that Lohan "plays her good-girl/bad-girl role with wit and an air of sly calculation."

Virtually no redeeming comments on Daddy Day Camp with Cuba Gooding Jr., the sequel to Daddy Day Care: "Excruciating"... "Relentless low-brow swill "... "Lights out."

A far different story is Southland Tales directed by Richard Kelly, the director of Donnie Darko. The NY Times liked it, calling it "funny, audacious, messy and feverishly inspired." It's the impossible-to-follow story of what happens to the country after two Texas towns are nuked. After that, it's anyone's guess. The film, roundly booed at Cannes, also earned a range of negative to head-scratching reviews. If you go to see this one, be prepared for an epic, incoherent, sometimes funny, often interesting mess. We'd give anything to read Pauline Kael on it. She'd probably have loved it.
