Michael Haneke's remake to his depraved film in his filmography Funny Games gets released in limited capacity. Almost 10 years to the day of his first go around of the same name, the remake (along with the 1997 original) entered the American cult cinema circles after a decade in art house lore.

Goldcrest Film's Revolutionary War epic releases under the radar just in time for awards contention. The powerhouse British film studio were looking to get another best picture award at The Academy.

The release of Tom Green's creative dice roll Freddy Got Fingered. A movie so reviled and despised, it still gives a chill to culturally destitute masses everywhere. Tom Green was and still is a polarizing figure in comedy, with his bizarre and crass brand of alternative sketch comedy reaching international cable channels during the last legs of the 1990s. By 2001, the Canadian comedy icon wore out his welcome and Freddy Got Fingered was enough of a boot to kick him out of the main stream.

That film being the bizarre rock musical Lisztomania, starring Who frontman Roger Daltrey as the legendary composer Franz Liszt. The film too a bit more than lead actor from Tommy too. Celebrity cameos, luxurious set design and the pure chaotic energy, Lisztomania was pure black tar Russell.

BOMBED!STONE COLD (1991) - Brian "The Boz " Bosworth vs The Aryan BrotherhoodMAY 17th, 1991. The film debut of Brian "The Boz" Bosworth, Stone Cold, arrived in theaters to massive apathy. The former college football hero turned NFL bust ran to the silver screen after being forced to retire from the gridiron due to injury. Relying on his "Boz" persona, Bosworth seemed like an action star straight out of a test tube. Instead, the wooden plank known as Brian Bosworth had to be carried by legendary character actors, ultraviolent stunt showcases and ... pet Monitor lizards?

BOMBED!ZABRISKIE POINT (1970) - Bank Heists, Hippie Cults, Awkward Interviews and a Hate Letter to the Love GenerationFebruary 9th, 1970. European arthouse director Michelangelo Antonioni, riding the hype wave of his masterpiece Blow-Up, brought the world his next cinematic experience Zabriskie Point. Wanting to capture the US hippie movement the same way he captured Swinging London with Blow-Up, Antonioni's Zabriskie Point holds the same vibes Antonioni's known for. However, due to countless chaotic production hiccups and several scheduling setbacks, Zabriskie Point burnt out in the box office upon release. While some despise the "vibes" Zabriskie Point brings to the table, others have considered Antonioni's hate letter to the love generation as a misunderstood classic.

As the summer season drew to a close, Warner Brothers released their western action comedy Wild Wild West. Bringing together the dynamic duo of director Barry Sonnenfeld and 90s megastar Will Smith, Wild Wild West should have been a slam dunk for Warner Brothers.

John Carpenter's sci-fi horror remake The Thing released in theaters into a crowd of angry, venom filled spectators and critics. Disgusted and reviled by the intense special effects by lead FX artist Rob Bottin, The Thing never gained traction in the box office and leaving defeated after going toe to toe against ET, Poltergeist, Blade Runner and the musical Annie. However, once it reached home video, The Thing earned the cult following and praise it rightfully deserved upon release.

WWE Studios, an media development department for pro wrestling company WWE, produced and released (through distribution studio Lionsgate) their edgy action feature The Condemned. Starring attitude era megastar Stone Cold Steve Austin and soccer hooligan turned Guy Richie regular Vinnie Jones, The Condemned was set to be a next big action blockbuster of 2007...if it wasn't released in the spring...or was any good.

BOMBED!THE BOONDOCK SAINTS pt. 2 - School Shootings, Racist Jokes, Dreadful Movie Contracts and the Wonderful Fall of Troy DuffyJanuary 21st, 2000. The Boondock Saints, after years of strife and chaos, finally gets released to five theaters through a deal between Franchise Pictures, Duffy and Indican Pictures. Burning every bridge possible, Duffy reluctantly signed a dreadful contract for a front side position of the revenue. However, the landscape has changed significantly since Duffy shopped around his bullet riddled action film. While The Boondock Saints entered production, the world was heartbroken by the events behind the Columbine Massacre, making a film about two trench coat wearing spree shooters seem tasteless.

BOMBED!THE BOONDOCK SAINTS: Part 1 - The Ballad of Troy Duffy (Feat. Matt Larue)Los Angeles, 1996. South Boston transplant Troy Duffy witnesses a dead heroin addict leaving his apartment complex on a stretcher. Filled with pure anger, Duffy writes what would end up becoming The Boondock Saints, a bullet riddled action drama about two brothers looking to seek vengeance against the scourge of society. Handing his draft over to a low rung staffer at New Line, the script changed hands between studios and producers. After a grueling bidding war, Harvey Weinstein and Miramax scored the rights to Duffy's draft, granting the first time screenwriter $450,000 and the ability to direct his magnum opus.

BOMBED!GOTTI (2018) - The Fugazi Tale of The Teflon Don and The Disastrous Production Behind It (Feat. VJ Preziosi)The story of Gambino crime boss and ruthless mobster John Gotti needs no introduction. The Teflon Don's legacy has gone down in the history books as a tale of the "last big name in Mafia history", a true outlaw that got one over the law while committing countless atrocities within the underworld. A movie based on Gotti's life was inevitable, but the notorious 2018 bio-pic wasn't the first time John Gotti's tale made it to celluloid. However, it's insane production history, chaotic casting choices and disastrous release could be just as notorious as the Teflon Don himself.

Lionsgate Studios released the ultra-violent Marvel Comics adaptation, Punisher: Warzone, into an oversaturated holiday market. Placing the hyper violent tale of Frank Castle and his every growing vengeance-based vigilante pursuit of justice in the whimsical holiday season of December was one of the many bizarre choices from the studio that brought hyper gory horror films Saw and Hostel to light. Released before Marvel had a cinematic stranglehold on movie theaters, Punisher: Warzone was tossed into a sea of Disney family films and future Oscar contenders, never truly standing a chance at catching a crowd.

BOMBED!ZARDOZ (1974): John Boorman's Drug Fueled Post Apocalyptic Science Fiction Dreamscape...I Think? (feat. Kevin Hall)February 6th, 1974. The world was introduced to John Boorman's surreal sci-fi action epic Zardoz. Following a falling out to a United Artist produced Lord of The Rings adaptation, Boorman wrote, produced and directed his own high fantasy inspired science fiction film about a post apocalyptic, "Wizard of Oz"-esk universe of immortal god-like beings encountering a brutal executioner, played by Sean Connery. Off his rocker on psychedelics, Boorman was able to create a dreamlike apocalyptic Earth on the back of a micro-budget of $1.57 million dollars. However, it's confusing narrative and surreal imagery confused critics and audiences alike, pushing people...

BOMBED!BULWORTH (1998) - Ghetto Superstars, Rapping Warren Beatty and a Coked Out Oliver Platt (feat. Seth 'The Wrist' Michael)May 22nd, 1998. Warren Beatty's political dark comedy Bulworth hit the theatrical campaign trail after Beatty's eight year absence from the silver screen. Following the mild disappointment of Dick Tracy, Warren Beatty came back with a biting take on the racial hypocrisy of Clinton era Democrats and the endless empty promises from politicians. While it barely made it's budget back and ended up failing in the box office, Bulworth garnered a cult following from critic and audiences alike. Even 44th President of the United States Barack Obama as admitted to be a fan.

The board game adaptation Clue sleuths its way into theaters with a wild marketing campaign, multiple endings and a star studded cast. Unfortunately, Clue's multiple ending gimmick would confuse audiences, receive middling reviews and ended up suffering in the box office. However, that's not where the mystery lies with Clue. Rather, the mystery of Clue comes from it's lasting legacy as a cult classic comedy.

The Mel Gibson action comedy Payback was released to the public after a bitter dismissal from director Brian Helgeland over the creative direction of his neo-noir feature. Helgeland looked to create a dark, gritty adaptation to the 1962 crime novel, "The Hunter" till the executives at Paramount and WB forced the project to be a silly crime comedy. Retooling a bleak action feature into a dark comedy crime caper didn't really pay off in the long run, but three comics decided to sit down and talk about this feature for almost three hours.

Michael Cimino's Heaven's Gate was re-released into theaters off the initial disastrous release back in November, 1980. For the last two years, Cimino's western epic had been in the crosshairs of critics and Hollywood executives alike. Seemingly everyone wanted Cimino's head on a pike after Heaven's Gate fell flat upon it's initial November release. In due time, not only will Cimino's career be in free fall but with Heaven's Gate's failure also came another column tumbling down from the 'New Hollywood' era.

Prior to it's release, Heaven's Gate was garnering criticism and scorn from industry insiders, colleagues in the film industry and average Americans alike for the scandalous behind the scenes reports from it's production. Animals getting mauled and killed, 10+ hour work days for every minute of celluloid shot, constant fights and firing on set, interstate prop transportation and exhausting shooting schedules plastered the pages of Variety, LA Times and every news outlet across the United States.

Myers had been busy lending his acting talent to voice the beloved green ogre Shrek before The Love Guru's release, with his last major live action role being the dreadful adaptation of Dr. Seuss's The Cat In The Hat playing the title role. With Wayne's World and Austin Powers far in his rear view, Mike Myers made the effort to attempt a triumphant return to his comedic roots. Upon release on June 20th , 2008, media outlets...

Joaquin Phoenix's surreal "mockumentary" I'm Still Here was released to a completely unprepared crowd not ready for the bizarre trip they're about to witness. Blurring the lines between fiction and reality, the coke filled satire caused more head scratching than praise upon it's release. Fading from the public conscious in the following years, I'm Still Here's lasting legacy has whittled down to the #metoo accusations towards director Casey Affleck and one very awkward David Letterman interview.

Burlesque entered the box office and was on course to make a significant amount of money...if it wasn't for the stacked competition released at the same time. For those unlucky enough to miss this clash of pop champions, Burlesque attempts to fuse a jukebox musical with a overly dramatic storyline and it succeeds...somewhat.

Cool As Ice, the Vanilla Ice acting vehicle no one wanted, dropped into theaters to almost critical hatred. By the time of release, the oversaturation of Ice's skills (or lack there of) was reaching critical mass, causing a massive backlash to Ice's ascent to stardom. At the same time, Vanilla was dealing with court cases, terrible musical project and one very violent Suge Knight. From an onlooker's perspective, the young MC's time in the limelight was heading straight into a brick wall.

The day that changed actor, comedian and professional wildcard Jamie Kennedy's career forever. The release of Son of the Mask, the sequel to the 1994 Jim Carry comic book adaptation, was met with a swamp of negativity. Critical reception was rock bottom with critics slamming Kennedy's performance in review after review. Box office returns were worse than anticipated, not even making back it's initial $85-100 million budget. Somehow, the failure of Son's weak script and unfunny CGI hijinks landed on the shoulders of Jamie Kennedy who didn't even want the role in the first place. Stunted by the failing...

Just a few weeks later, on June 5th, the FIFA biography United Passions graced ten lucky theaters in the United States. After earning under $169,000 at the box office off of it's $32 million dollar budget, FIFA faced not just box office disaster but legal turmoil.

Paul Verhoeven, director of Total Recall, Robocop and Basic Instinct, releases his sci-fi satire Starship Troopers to the masses. Adapted from Robert Heinlein's 1959 novel of the same name, Verhoeven's Starship Troopers twisted Heinlein's original by turning the jingoistic messaging in the original novel and sent it to it's natural end, a fascist utopia built for endless war exclusively. A 1997 audience didn't get the joke, taking Verhoeven's fascist satire seriously and showed nothing but distain for Starship Troopers. Yet over the years, Starship Troopers grew a significant cult following. Critics who originally demonized the picture were writing op-eds...

BOMBED!GRANDMA'S BOY - Happy Madison's 'Animal House' for Gamers in a Pre-GamerGate World (Feat. Brandon Wunderlich)January 6, 2006. Happy Madison productions releases their gaming stoner comedy 'Grandma's Boy' to a theatrical audience that would rather sit in late 2000s X-Box Live lobbies than go see it in theaters. Failing to earn any spare change in the box office, the crass stoner comedy gained a cult following through VOD and DVD, earning back their budget and then some through DVD sales. While some find 'Grandma's Boy' to be a hilarious romp akin to frat house comedies like 'Animal House' meets 'Clerks' nerdy dialogue, watching the film in 2021 could be considered "insufferable" at best.

The year prior, Bob Guccione's magnum opus was released in his home country of Italy and was met with shocked viewers and authoritarian action from Italian officials. Caligula toed the line between pure pornography and mildly interesting exploitation, earning it the ire and scorn of law makers worldwide. As soon as Caligula's reels reached US shores, law suits and state bans were thrown at Guccione's feet. Widely considered one of the most extreme, disturbing films released, Caligula had to be...

Tim Burton's dark take on '50s drive-in alien invasion features proved to be a risky venture from Warner Brothers who put in $70 million dollars into the Topps' trading card brand adaptation.

Starting pre-production all the way back in the early 1990s, Waterworld would go from a simple $60 million dollar budgeted action film to a nightmare production which shot the budget up to $175 million dollars. That leap in budget price made Waterworld the most expensive movie ever made for the time. The jump in budget comes from the hellish 166 days of shooting which included fights between cast and crew, near fatal stunts and a nasty...

By the early 80s, every studio had rushed out their very own Star Wars-esk franchise starter, only to crash, burn and be forgotten years and decades after their releases. Krull was unfortunately one such attempt, an action adventure pulled straight outta someone's Dungeons and Dragons campaign and onto celluloid.
