In any given year, there's can be a certain drop in quality when it comes to some actors and directors. Ben Foster comes to mind as a high-roller (The Messenger had a Tomatometer of 90 percent) and a low one (Pandorum, which Foster also starred in, had 27 percent.)
So it's fitting we had Matt Atchity, Editor-in-Chief of Rotten Tomatoes, stop by the Year-Endies to help present our Quality Chasm Awards.

It's almost time for our special Year End episode. So if you missed out on most of the films this year, get thee to a nunnery! And by "nunnery," I clearly mean your local DVD emporium with some help from our friends at Rotten Tomatoes. After all, this is just another example of DVDo's and DVDon'ts.
-The "If I Were A Rich Man" Choice: Criterion's Akira Kurosawa box set spans 25 films, is large and may be incredibly expensive. But it's so worth it.
The Fresh
-The Cove is the award-winning doc that brings Japan's dolphin hunting.
-World's Greatest Dad is the dark comedy that proves Robin Williams can be funny.
-Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is the sequel to a successful children's book film franchise.
-Julie and Julia is perfect for your mom.
-Public Enemies is perfect for proving why film should be used instead of digital.
The Rotten
-The Marc Pease Experience will continue to be seen by no one.
-The Dog Who Saved Christmas will be seen by some poor sap who keeps Fox Family on.
-The Skeptic is about a...I'm not sure what, exactly. Serial killers? Skeptics? People skeptical about killing?
The Bland
-Warning!!!! Pedophile Released can only be summed up with this photo:

We caught Bobcat Goldthwait's latest film, World's Greatest Dad, on the closing night of CineVegas this year. Dad is considerably darker than anything you'd assume a comedian in Police Academy was capable of creating, much like how Gawker was utterly disgusted by his commercials for Microsoft. Yet that's the charm behind Goldthwait, whose first directorial feature, Shakes The Clown, focused on alcoholic and drug dependent clowns and their scene in Los Angeles.
Any parallels you saw between that and say, the 1980s Comedy Club circuit, were fairly obvious and apparent.
As a director, he takes a tone that's humorous, but only if you think the media being forced to accept their consequences is "funny." Or if redemption in the form of tragedy, like Dad, is in fact pitch-black comedy gold. But, as he said to BusinessWeek, " It's like finding out that Screech is directing a movie."
In the ads for Internet Explorer 8, the tone is relatively lighter, but still the playful and mocking tone you can find in Shakes, Dad and Let Sleeping Dogs Lie/Stay, which...we won't get into now.
We're also partial to G.R.I.P.E.S.

Of course, one of the ads that featured vomiting was proclaimed "Worst.Ad.Ever." by Technologizer. Because god knows, it's not like you can find sicker shit on the Internet with kids lighting rockets out of their ass, now can you?
The rest of the ads can be found here.
