The Duchess

The real Duchess of Devonshire was needy, greedy and a bulimic. Where's that in this portrayal?

Drag Me to Hell

Raimi's genius is in the small stuff, like the squeak of Alison Lohman's forehead against the windshield. Plus that ending-- yes!

Defiance

Tired of Hollywood movies that give you one truly good scene: the rabbi asking God to take his blessing away from the Jews.

No matter what the situation, a Brit is legally obligated to ask you if you'd "like a cup o' tea, luv?"

Doctor Who: Season 5

Actual real, live jokes! Bad ones, but at least something to relieve the early 60s tedium.

Life: Season 1

There's something vaguely off about the series, even with Damian Lewis more than pulling his weight.

Kate & Leopold

No chemistry between the stars dooms the picture, but it's Meg who's out of place, not Hugh.

Crank

Actually, the best scene is from the beginning: he passes the Porsche by to get into a 70s muscle car.
