Angelina Jolie is one of the most iconic actresses in the film industry, and she has starred in some extremely entertaining films in her three-decade-long career, but she also starred in some duds along the way. After making her screen debut as a child in the 1982 film Lookin’ to Get Out, Jolie has starred in at least 55 films, and some of them are among the most popular, like Mr. & Mrs. Smith and Salt, but there were also some embarrassing films like The Tourist or the Lara Croft sequel. So, we decided to compile a list of her 5 worst films that hold embarrassingly low critic ratings on Rotten Tomatoes.

The Tourist is a romantic thriller film directed by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Christopher McQuarrie and Julian Fellowes.

Clowns are terrifying. According to the National Institute of Health, more than 50% of Americans report some form of coulrophobia, or an irrational or extreme fear of clowns. It’s why clowns are popping up everywhere in popular culture, whether in the new slasher Clown in a Cornfield or the found footage gem, Hell House LLC. Oh, and both It and It: Chapter 2 are the first and sixth highest-grossing horror movies of all time, respectively. There’s always money in the clown car. Here’s hoping the upcoming Clown in a Cornfield can deliver more of the same.

And killer clowns have been around for a long while. 1982’s Poltergeist has a fantastic possessed clown doll, and the short-lived anthology series One Step Beyond aired a terrifying episode in 1960 titled “The Clown,” and it’s about exactly what you think it is. One of the best killer clown flicks, however, is...

After taking a look back at House II: The Second Story (a favorite of mine since childhood), House of 1000 Corpses (which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year), the awesomeness of Tales from the Crypt Presents: Demon Knight, the leg smashing in the Stephen King adaptation Misery, and three separate moments from John Carpenter’s Big Trouble in Little China, JoBlo’s own Lance Vlcek is continuing his The Best Scene video series with a look at a scene from an entry in my favorite horror franchise, Friday the 13th. The film Lance is talking about today is Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood (watch it Here), and the section he’s focusing on is the entire climactic sequence in which iconic slasher Jason Voorhees gets knocked around by the telekinetic abilities of heroine Tina. You can hear all about it in the video embedded above!

The killer clown trend has amorphous roots, with anthropologists and clinicians failing to settle on where the slow tilt of clowns into full-borne nightmare material originated. It might have been in Ruggero Leoncavallo's "Pagliacci" (riffed amazingly in Seinfeld), or it might be considerably grimmer, inextricably tied to the case of American serial killer John Wayne Gacy. In the modern canon -- whether in film, television, or literature -- the prevailing theory is Stephen King's Pennywise from "It," which popularized the killer clown archetype. Some scholars contend it goes beyond a phobia, becoming something akin to a cultural phenomenon.

Of course, horror audiences remember the Great Clown Panic of 2016, a time when, for some reason, people were dressing up as clowns and running around in the dark. While the reporting then was overblown, there's no denying the killer clown dominates the current age of horror. Yet, audiences might forget these clowns have feelings too.

Actor Wendell Pierce — best known for his work on The Wire and Treme — announced that a long-dormant biopic on blues legend B.B. King, The Thrill Is On, is back on in a series of tweets posted Monday night.

“We are official,” Pierce wrote. “Preparation has begun on a film where I will be honored to play the great, Bb King. Humbled.” He added, “I promised Bb King before he died, I will honor him and his creative genius. An American Icon.”

What do you get when a boss asks an employee to get some files to accounting and then leaves for a meeting? An epic, office-wide Nerf battle. This video is the sequel to The Warp Zone’s Nerf Star Wars and is fantastic. Michael Schroeder and Michael Adams Davis returned to write the short film and Schroeder also took over as the director. This video certainly feels a lot more polished than the first one from three years ago. This is the fight we all wanted at the end of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, so I hope you all enjoy. Does your office ever break out into Nerf wars?...

Yesterday it was reported that Rotten Tomatoes wouldn't reveal the score of Justice League until the day the movie was released in theaters. Well, even though no score has appeared yet on Rotten Tomatoes, fellow Fandango property Flixster didn't get the memo on keeping things under wraps and they ended up posting the Rotten Tomatoes score!

I predicted that the score would land somewhere in the 70% area of the Tomatometer, but boy was I wrong! The film started with a 48% rating and then went up to 51%. That's not encouraging, but I'm still excited to see the movie. I'm not going to let this low score talk me out of seeing it, it looks like it's going to be fun! I plan on going out to see it tomorrow night.

There are a ton of full reviews online right now to read through if you're interested. I'm not going to read any of them,...

The editor and publisher of a Sheldon Adelson-owned newspaper in Connecticut has apologized for an article he published that appeared to attack a judge on behalf of the billionaire. Michael Schroeder, owner of Central Connecticut Communications and editor and publisher of the Bristol Press, personally apologized for the article in an editorial published on Tuesday. The Dec. 1, 2015, article, “Business courts a way for state economies to remain competitive,” focused on the creation of business courts in states like Nevada, Delaware and Pennsylvania.

How did an 80s Van Damme action flick emerge from a failed Spider-Man movie and Masters Of The Universe sequel? Ryan takes a look...

Cannon Films was in deep trouble by 1987. Its boom years, between the late 70s to the mid-80s, were largely thanks to an eclectic and hurriedly-made collection of B-movies: Chuck Norris action pictures, Charles Bronson revenge flicks and lots of things with the word ‘ninja’ in the title.

Thanks to its outsider status and anything-for-a-buck approach to filmmaking, Cannon Films became a major name in Hollywood, the grinning faces of its brusque founders - producers Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus - frequently appearing in TV news reports and tinseltown trade papers.

But in the mid-80s, Golan and Globus began to change their strategy. While they would still make Death Wish sequels and Chuck Norris pics, they began to dabble in making more expensive films,...

Nerf toys are supposed to be fun and safe, but we’ve all taken a dart to the eye or learned that those foam bullets don’t feel so soft at point blank range. In this short from The Warp Zone, a Nerf office war escalates quickly when Nerf swords and guns turn into lightsabers and blasters. People start losing their heads… literally.

"Nerf Star Wars - Office Jedi" was written by Michael Schroeder and Michael Adams Davis, who also star in the short alongside the director, Sam Macaroni. You can check out more of Macaroni’s short films here.

As all lovers of crime, suspense thriller, war, western, horror and science fiction films know, creating a truly great cinematic villain is no easy task. When it happens, it’s virtually impossible to forget that character.

We’ll now take a look at the greatest film villains of the 1980’s.

The criteria for this article is the same as my previous article Cinema’s Greatest Villains: The 1970’s: the villains must be from live-action films-no animated features-and must pose some type of direct or indirect lethal threat. The villains can be either individuals or small groups that act as one unit.

The villains must be human or human in appearance, so no shape-shifting alien from John Carpenter’s amazing 1982 The Thing, no Aliens from James Cameron’s classic 1986 sequel and no Predator from John McTiernan’s beloved 1987 film of the same name.

Also, individuals that are the central protagonists/antiheroes...

True confessions time: I've never seen Conan O'Brien's "Celebrity Secrets", in which stars' dirty laundry is apparently aired out for laughs, and I've not yet gotten the Resident Evil: Revelations 3Ds game that came out yesterday. But I still got a kick out of a new video in which the Re characters get very real. (Maybe I'm just a sucker for incest jokes.) Check it out after the jump. Resident Evil: Revelations comes from the warped minds at The Warp Zone. The cast is credited as: "Wesker - Josh Mattingly, Barry - Schroeder, Todd - Fish, Claire - Joyce Irl, Chris - Ryan, Leon - Davis, Ada - Odom." It's written by Michael Adams Davis and directed and edited by Michael Schroeder. Ryan...

Hollywoodnews.com: The legendary Christopher Plummer, who has been earning raves for his performance in Mike Mills’ “Beginners” as a widower embracing his homosexuality, will receive the “Hollywood Supporting Actor Award” at this year’s 15th Annual Hollywood Film Festival and Hollywood Film Awards, presented by Starz Entertainment. The event is scheduled for Monday, Oct. 24, at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills.

Plummer, an Academy Award nominee for his recent performance in “The Last Station,” has been enjoying even more awards chatter as of late for his turn as Hal, a closeted gay man who didn’t choose to come out until his wife passed away … much to the surprise of his son (Ewan McGregor).

Plummer, who can be seen in “Barrymore” and “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” later this year, will be on hand to accept the award.

His bio is below:

Christopher Plummer...

This history of America is littered with real stories begging to be told about real people.

Next up: Legendary bluesman B.B. King.

"Treme" star Wendell Pierce is set to take on the big star in "B.B. King & I," based on the true story about a drummer who attends a concert by the legendary bluesman and the pair end up becoming lifelong friends.

"Almost Famous" star Patrick Fugit will be picking up the drumsticks.

According to Variety, production is set to begin Sept. 1, with a projected Spring 2012 release. The script was written by Michael Zanetis (the basis for Fugit's character) and Melora Donoghue, and Michael Schroeder (Christopher Plummer's "Man in the Chair") has signed on to direct. 

We're pretty psyched to see B.B. King getting his cinematic due and even more psyched that TV's "Bunk" is playing him. We're huge fans of "The Wire" (who isn't?). Plus, his character on "Treme,...

The Wire’s Wendell Pierce Will Play B.B. King In Upcoming Film

Here's some great news for fans one of HBO's finest shows, The Wire. Wendell Pierce, who played the much loved Detective Bunk Moreland, is going to be playing B.B. King in an upcoming film. Pierce is currently enjoying the spotlight on HBO's Treme, and he'll also find himself in Horrible Bosses and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Pt. 1 before the year is up. His next role though will be as legendary artist B.B. King. The actor tweeted the news earlier today, stating that he will be playing King in a film called B. B. King And I. Variety tells us that Michael Schroeder will be behind the camera and the film is eyeing a September start date. Check out the plot synopsis below.
