The original video for Saves the Day’s emo anthem “Shoulder to the Wheel” came straight out of the Nineties-teen-movie playbook. Directed by Darren Doane, who previously oversaw early videos by Blink-182, the 1999 treatment was packed with archetypal American high school shenanigans: a raging suburban house party, assorted costumes and hair metal wigs, and many of the New Jersey band’s real-life classmates. But from the moment cherubic frontman Chris Conley appeared — pouting in a Volvo, donning a bookish red scarf and singing about missing his mom — it was clear...

Donald Trump vs. Starbucks' War on Christmas. The War on Christmas: The movies that come to mind We're still in November, but the War on Christmas – according to online buzz, a second cousin once removed of the War on Cops – has begun. Weeping and gritting of teeth has seized certain population segments in the U.S.A. (and perhaps other countries as well) after Fox News, that beacon of intellectual freedom at the end of the cable news tunnel, announced that … Starbucks' holiday season cups are a) red b) devoid of Christmas decorations. Could it be a satanic conspiracy disguised as politically correct inclusiveness? The result of a communist takeover at the Seattle-headquartered company? Cruel and unusual Christian persecution in the form of paper cups? Your guess is as good as mine. Far-right Republican icon, U.S. presidential candidate, and 2015 political circus ringmaster Donald Trump seems to think that Starbucks...

Kirk Cameron's "Saving Christmas" singlehandedly won the Worst Movie of the Year title at the recently concluded Razzies! The film also won Worst Screenplay, Worst Actor (Cameron), and Worst Screen Combo (Cameron and his ego).

But Ben Affleck has been redeemed. Previously on the "Gigli" kind, the actor/director has since moved on to "Argo" and "Gone Girl" hence, Affleck received the first ever Razzies Redeemer Award. Awww...

Finally, the day we’ve all been waiting for has arrived. No, I’m not talking about any of that “Oscars” silliness, or Neil Patrick Harris taking on hosting duties. No, I’m talking about the 2015 Razzie Awards, in which all the crap of the crop from this past year in cinema at last gets its well-deserved comeuppance.

This year’s “winners” are a particularly disreputable bunch, with Kirk Cameron leading the pack for his atrocious Kirk Cameron’s Saving Christmas and Michael Bay reliably racking up more Golden Raspberry Awards for Transformers 4: Age of Extinction. It was a strangely good night for Ben Affleck, who took home the “Redeemer” Award for turning his career around from Gigli to Gone Girl, and a bad one for Cameron Diaz, who lost out in Worst Supporting Actress for Annie (which still, deservedly, won Worst Remake, Rip-off or Sequel) but received...

Right before the Academy Awards announces its winners, the 35th Annual Razzie Awards has unveiled the list of its own winners for the worst achievement in film for 2014. Taking the prize for the Worst Picture of the year is "Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas," beating out such films as "Left Behind," "The Legend of Hercules," "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" and "Transformers: Age of Extinction." The movie also won for Worst Actor, Worst Screen Combo and Worst Screenplay. Even though Michael Bay's "Transformers: Age of Extinction" was nominated for seven awards, it walked way with only two, including a Worst Director award for Bay. Check out the full list of nominees and winners (in red) below.

The 2015 Razzies "winners" have been announced, leaving the "losers" to breathe a collective sigh of relief -- because, well, who the hell wants to win a Razzie?

You see, for the past 35 years, on the eve of the Oscars, the Golden Raspberry Awards has honored the very best of the very worst movies released the previous year -- and this year's competition was nothing short of spectacular...ly tragic. Everyone -- from Razzie favorites Nicolas Cage and Michael Bay to newcomers Nicola Peltz and Gaia Weiss -- was in the crosshairs, but only 10 took home Razzies.

Here then, ladies and gentlemen, is the full list of winners from the 2015 Razzie Awards.

"Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas" - Winner

The Academy just announced the best in cinema of 2014 and now, here comes the Razzie saluting the worst! Michael Bay's "Transformers: Age of Extinction" receives the most nominations, all seven of them including Worst Picture and Screenplay! But somehow, Mark Wahlberg escaped the wrath of Razzie! And I thought he was horrible in the movie!

But this year, the Razzie introduces a new award. Maybe to show the softer side of Razzie! The new category is called the Redeemer Award which highlights previous Razzie regulars who redeemed themselves. My favorite is Ben Affleck who went from "Gigli" to "Argo" to "Gone Girl."

Winners of the 35th Golden Raspberry Award will be revealed on February 21st, the night before the Oscars!

Here's your complete list of Razzie nominees:

The 35th Annual Razzie Awards have announced the nominees for the worst achievement in film for 2014, with Michael Bay's "Transformers: Age of Extinction" earning a total of seven nominations, including worst picture and screenplay. "Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas" and "The Legend of Hercules" each earned six nominations. Both are up for the Worst Picture award, alongside Nicolas Cage's "Left Behind" and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles." Check out the full list of nominees below, and stay tuned for the awards show, which will take place on Saturday, February 21st, the day before the Oscars.

The Golden Raspberry Award Foundation has announced the nominations for the 35th annual Razzie Awards. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Legend of Hercules, and Transformers 4: Age of Ex-stink-Tion are leading the nominations for worst movies of the year. The only name I don't think belongs on this list of nominations is Mel Gibson for his role in The Expendables 3, because he was freakin' awesome in that!

You can check out the full announcement below, followed by the nominations list. Look it over and let us know if you agree with what they claim is the worst of 2014.

Hollywood was not happy with box office returns for 2014, their lowest-grossing year in recent history. Despite a handful of high-grossing hits, there were way more major misses — movies based on recycled premises and re-worked concepts that were already tired a decade or more ago, the cinematic equivalent of re-treaded tires.

It’s awards season, and though most of the buzz right now is devoted to which titles stand a fighting chance of being included in tomorrow’s Oscar nominations, the 35th annual Golden Raspberry Awards, known as the Razzies, are here with their nominees to remind us that even that the most loathsome crap of the cinematic crop may be handled some trophies of their own next month.

The nominees for this year’s Razzies – the “winners” of which will be announced on February 21st, the night before the Oscars – are hardly surprising. Michael Bay has always been a favorite punching bag for the mock awards, and his Transformers: Age of Extinction is one of the most frequently mentioned nominees this year (the Bay-produced Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles also made the cut in a number of areas). The barely-remembered The Legend of Hercules shows up an awful lot as well,...

Nominations for the 35th annual Razzie Awards, which satirize “the Worst Achievements in Film for 2014,” are out. Transformers: Age Of Extinction leads the field with seven; while Kirk Cameron’s Saving Christmas and The Legend Of Hercules are tied at six nods each.

As usual, the Razzie races were unveiled one day before the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announces its picks for the best achievements of the year in film. But are the Razzies softening at 35? A new category has been added this year for the Razzie Redeemer Award, which acknowledges “that past nominees and ‘winners’ can (and often do) go on to far far better things.” The inaugural class includes Ben Affleck, Jennifer Aniston and Kristen Stewart.

Elsewhere, along with Saving Christmas and billion-dollar box office hit Transformers 4, there are multiple mentions for A Million Ways To Die In The West, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles...

The worst of the worst.

Yes, it's that time of year, where along with the best films of 2014, we honour the worst films of 2014. The Razzie nominations are out -- and they salute the worst movies and performances.

This year, "Transformers: Age of Extinction" is the worst offender with seven nominations, including worst picture and screenplay. "Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas" and "The Legend of Hercules" each earned six nods, and stars like Seth MacFarlane, Cameron Diaz, Nicolas Cage, and Adam Sandler had their performances singled out.

A new category, the Redeemer Award, also honours past Razzie regulars on their recent work -- especially if they crawl out of the gutter into "real" award territory. (We're looking at you, Jennifer Aniston!)

The most important nominations of the awards season have been announced.

Transformers: Age of Extinction, Adam Sandler's Blended, and Kirk Cameron are the front-runners for this year's "prestigious" Golden Raspberry Awards!

News: Kim K. Wins Razzie For Worst Actress

The 35th annual Razzies, which recognize some of Hollywood's "Worst Achievements in Film," are going to be a tight race this year. Transformers: Age of Extinction leads with seven nominations, but the film is going up against some other truly hated entries such as The Legend of Hercules, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas.

Some of the more interesting nominations, however, come in the acting categories, where Blended star Adam Sandler and Tammy star Melissa McCarthy are both nominated for Worst Actor and Worst Actress respectively – despite having just won People's Choice Awards on Jan. 7.

Even more surprising is the Worst Remake, Rip-Off or Sequel nomination for the musical Annie, which was also...

Transformers: Age of Extinction has racked up the highest number of nominations for this year's Golden Raspberry Awards.

The Michael Bay-directed movie is nominated for seven Razzies in total, including Worst Picture, Worst Screenplay and Worst Director.

The film is also up for Worst Sequel and Worst Screen Combo, while stars Nicola Peltz and Kelsey Grammer are in the running for Worst Supporting Actress and Actor.

Other nominations for this year's Worst Picture are Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas and The Legend of Hercules - which both received six nominations in total - as well as Left Behind and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Cameron Diaz has also scored a sizeable number of nominations as Worst Actress for her parts in The Other Woman and Sex Tape, on top of Worst Supporting Actress in Annie and Worst Screen Combo with Jason Segel.

Meanwhile, Seth MacFarlane is on the list for Worst Actor,...

The 35th annual Golden Raspberry Awards (better known as the Razzies) nominations are out, and it was a not a good year for “Transformers,” which led the field with seven nominations.

Kirk Cameron was well-represented as well with six nominations. The remake of his “Left Behind” series got nominations for its new star Nicolas Cage, and for Worst Picture. It must compete with “Kirk Cameron’s Saving Christmas,” as well as “The Legend of Hercules,” “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” and “Transformers: Age of Extinction.”

Five days into the new year and the movie awards season is in full swing. A chance to celebrate all of the cinematic gold bestowed upon us by filmmakers over the last 365 days, the majority of awards bodies veer towards the positive. The good, the great and the outstanding movie achievements. Of course, you can’t have yin without yang, and that customary glint of deviousness amidst the showers of compliments will soon be upon us, in the shape of the The Annual Golden Raspberry Awards.

Known informally as The Razzies, the achievements are dished out based on how bad the category nominees performed, and this year’s nominees have now been announced. Seth MacFarlane’s A Million Ways To Die In The West beat out its closest competitors for the esteemed honour of most nominations with a whopping eight altogether. Recent limelight comedy, The Interview, also snagged four nominations across three categories.

The recent "Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas" has officially become the the worst movie of all-time according to the film database site The IMDb. 4,918 users have voted in the poll with the movie pulling a 1.5/10 rating, overtaking the legendarily terrible "Birdemic: Shock and Terror" at 1.8/10.

The faith-based "Saving Christmas" stars Kirk Cameron and Darren Doane in which the pair play brothers-in-law with Kirk's character showcasing to Doane's that various popular elements of Christmas are actually Biblical.

Cameron's film did not go well with critics, garnering a rare 0% on Rotten Tomatoes and an 18/100 on Metacritic - to be fair to Cameron, the woeful Ben Affleck comedy "Surviving Christmas" several years ago didn't score much better.

After the initial wave of critical reviews, Cameron took to social media to rally his fans for support by asking them to give the film a high public rating on Rotten Tomatoes. When word got...

He's been an actor and a religious spokesman, now Kirk Cameron is combining both in a holiday comedy with a message. "Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas" is a title that works in numerous ways except in the way it's technically supposed to considering Darren Doane is actually the film's director.

There's a surprising lack of actual comedy on offer in the trailer which would probably have made it more broadly appealing, but don't underestimate Cameron whose low-budget films in recent years have found an audience at the box-office. "Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas" is slated to score a limited theatrical release on November 14th.

That’s the promise Kirk Cameron’s made with his latest film, Kirk Cameron’s Saving Christmas, which Samuel Goldwyn Films has set for a November 14 limited theatrical release. Cameron stars in the film which regrounds the Christmas tradition in its Biblical roots and is the first title in a new three-picture deal his Camfam Studios has struck with Sony Music Entertainment’s Nashville-based Provident Films. Saving Christmas also marks a re-teaming of Cameron and Samuel Goldwyn, which scored a $33 million hit with Christian audiences on his 2008 film Fireproof.

Darren Doane, Bridgette Ridenour, David Shannon, Raphi Henley, and Ben Kientz also star in the film directed by Doane from his script with Cheston Hervey. Henley, Shannon, Doane, and Ankara Rosser are producers and Cameron is exec producer. Camfam produced the film with Liberty University, which previously partnered on 2013 documentary Unstoppable. Faith-based production and distribution label Provident Films also previously collaborated with Cameron,...

Kirk Cameron's evangelical-themed film, "Unstoppable," faced some ungodly obstacles when it was banned from both Facebook and YouTube recently.

On July 18, Cameron took to his Facebook page to alert fans that links to the website for "Unstoppable" had been blocked by the social network for allegedly being "abusive," "unsafe" and "spammy." The following day, he announced YouTube had done the same and had blocked the "Unstoppable" trailer because it was considered "spam," a "scam" and "deceptive."

"This is my most personal film about faith, hope and love, and about why God allows bad things to happen to good people. What is 'abusive' or 'unsafe' about that?!" he wrote. "Please help us encourage Facebook to unblock our website soon by sharing this post with your friends so more people can see this transparent, faith-building project."

Michael Kirkland, communications manager for Facebook, explained to The Christian Post that links to the...
