Piercing Ken Thoughts: As I glance down the list of nominations, I was again surprised at how few of the films to avoid that I ended up seeing. It wasn’t until the “Remake” category where I noticed ones that I did see in “Dark Phoenix”, “Godzilla: King Of The Monsters” and “Hellboy” Truth be told the latter two were pretty good IMHO but that “Dark Phoenix” was too ramshackle for this fanboy of the comic books brought to life on the big screen. What do you readers think about these offerings? Did you see something worse last year that you feel should have been included on this list? I’d love for you to post such a comment down below because it will be interesting to read for sure. I’ll be back when they announce the winners of The Razzies and for those who are not yet aware, we will be heading to the annual Toy Fair in the coming weeks. That means a lot of photos and social network updates are coming soon so be sure to follow us on the mediums listed on the About Page. See you next time around.
