And the prize for the best movie that's so bad it's good goes to...

It seems only fitting to start this blog with an entry for the 2007 Lindsay Lohan thriller (some might say comedy?) 'I Know Who Killed Me.' This is a must-see for all of you die hard fans of awesomely bad movies. Not only did Ms. Lohan win two Razzie Awards for best actress (she portrays twins in the film), she also won worst onscreen couple for a scene where...wait for it...she appears opposite herself. Ouch.

The film revolves around Aubrey Fleming and Dakota Moss, two women who are stalked by a serial killer and who seem to be mysteriously connected. Thanks to Dakota's intrepid research (in which she Googles the phrase 'bleeding wounds unexplained' after her leg and fingers fall off), it turns out that Aubrey and Dakota are actually twins - stigmatic twins if you can believe it! The film's climax is truly epic, involving a great action sequence in which Dakota fights her would-be captor with various prosthetic limbs (including her own). A memorable strip club scene involving a rather questionable, though inventive, use of a lit cigarette only adds to this movie's greatness.

If you can slog through the first 30 minutes, trust me when I say it is worth it to see this movie to the end. They don't make them this bad too often - cherish the film's moments and hope that one day your friends will give you the DVD as a gift for your personal collection.
