It’s official.

LOS ANGELES: -- “Fifty shades of Grey” and “Fantastic Four” are the worst films to have hit the screen in 2015.

A dead heat for the main category, the two epics took home a combined total of seven Golden Raspberry awards.

“Fifty Shades” swept the board, winning five awards: worst film, worst actor (Jamie Dornan), worst actress (Dakota Johnson). worst combo (Dornan and Johnson) and worst screenplay.

However, it was not all bad news.

Sylvester Stallone has been given a “Razzie Redeemer” award thanks to his Academy-Award nominated role in Ryan Cooger’s “Creed”, a spin-off from the Rocky franchise.

The redeemer prize acknowledges previous winners who have gone on to do better work.

No doubt Spike Lee and Will Smith will be along soon to complain that people of color have been underrepresented in these awards.

I agree that this was a horrifically bad film. Kind of an excuse for the emasculating women of America to feel good about being naughty. It could have been OK, if Hollywood was not so prudish, and squeamish about sex. What utter trash. The sex scenes were beyond tame. They were almost comical. But, there were some other garbage films too. Mordecai was horrendous. Rarely has Depp been so hard to watch. I went 30 minutes without as much as a chuckle, then walked out of the theatre, something I have been doing more and more often, as of late. Rock the Kasbah, was Murray's absolute descent into cinematic hell. And so was A very Murray frickin Christmas. This film was so bad, that even a die hard Murray fan, such as myself found it harder to watch, than swallowing glass shards. So was Get hard (has Will Farrell lost the ability to be funny anymore?), Taken 3, the Cobbler (will Adam Sandler ever make another good film, like Funny people, Reign over me, Click, or Happy Gilmore?), Pitch perfect 2 (the original was just as bad), Ted 2 (horrifically bad, is Wahlberg really needing the money, bad enough to stoop to this level?), American Ultra, Hot Pursuit, Vacation, Minions, Stonewall, The Forger( pretty awful work by Travolta), The Green Inferno, Knock, Knock (just when we thought the Keanu was starting to make some smarter decisions), The Gunman (Sean Penn's descent into cinematic hell, maybe it looked good on paper?), and a few others.

I agree 50 Shades was awful. I saw it on a large screen and walked out half way. The entire plot and script could have been written with a fat felt tipped pen on the back of an envelope. Another awful film was The Forger starring Tron Revolta, oh sorry John Travolta. The Martian movie was lukewarm OK (like the sandwich you find, which had been left out for a week), but why is it all 3 movies I mentioned are so self-limiting in scope? Are Hollywood writers so bereft of writing skills?

The films of the 1970s,"Deep Throat" and" The Devil in Mrs. Jones" had more story and content then this film and were better promoted porn.

“No one in this world, so far as I know — and I have searched the records for years, and employed agents to help me — has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people. Nor has anyone ever lost public office thereby.”

True, and a much bigger cure for erectile dysfunction.

Lol.
