Southland Tales
2006
Set in a dystopian near-future, director Richard Kelly's visionary tale of doom and destruction mines post-Sept. 11 angst and paranoia as Los Angeles teeters on the verge of social, financial and ecological catastrophe. While a heat wave blasts the sprawling metropolis, one man foresees the coming apocalypse -- but can he prevent it? Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson heads a star-studded cast that includes Sarah Michelle Gellar and Justin Timberlake.

Amazingly bad - surprising with this cast. Filmed well, but the quality/realism of the plot and dialog make it feel like a Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 cut-scene. The "did they really just say that" moments provide most of the laughs in this attempted comedy
