On April 27, 2006 gave us some cinematic gems turning 20 next year, like the departed, Little Miss Sunshine, Pan's Labyrinth, and The Devilware's Prada, with that sequel dropping soon. But not every flick from that year deserves a revisit. Plenty bombed hard and earned their spot on the skip list. Take the Pink Panther remake with Steve Martin and Beyonce, where a bumbling inspector chases a stolen diamond amid soccer drama and slapstick fails. When there's Garfield, a tale of two kiddies, voicing Bill Murray as the lasagna-loving cat mistaken for royalty in London, scraping just 12. Percent unrotten tomatoes and snacking razzie nods for weak sequel vibes. Aragon crushed fans of the young adult books, turning a dragon riding farm boy versus evil king tail into a flat fantasy flop. When a stranger calls stretched a classic horror opener into a full bore fest of fake scares and zero tension, robbing the original of its edge.
The DaVinci code had Tom Hanks decoding murders and holy grail secrets from DaVinci works, but Rod Howard's take drag with dull clues, no spark, an endless controversy over its sacrilegious spin. These misses remind us film years mix gold with garbage, so pick wisely when the stagia hits. Entertainment and celebrity news today, powered by AI bringing you what's trending. I'm Corey with The Story.
