The Oscars ceremony wasn’t the only big, movie-related awards event happening over the past weekend. The Golden Raspberry Award Foundation also announced the winners of its somewhat dubious honors the day before the Academy Awards kicked off. Let’s just say that if winning a “Razzie” was the sort of thing actors and filmmakers celebrated, Kirk Cameron would’ve been partying like a rock star.

The widely panned Saving Christmas and its star took home four Razzies during a ceremony held Saturday (February 21) evening in Hollywood — which would be a pretty good night if the Golden Raspberry Awards weren’t created to call out the worst films and performances of the year.

Not only did Saving Christmas “win” the Worst Picture category, but it also earned Cameron a Razzie in the Worst Actor category, earned screenwriters Darren Doane and Cheston Hervey a Razzie in the Worst Screenplay category, and even earned Cameron another Razzie in the Worst Screen Combo category, which was won by “Kirk Cameron and his ego.” Ouch.

Here’s how the rest of the Golden Raspberry Awards panned out:

Worst Actress: Cameron Diaz, The Other Woman and Sex Tape

Worst Supporting Actress: Megan Fox, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Worst Suppoting Actor: Kelsey Grammer, Expendables 3, Legends of Oz, Think Like a Man Too, and Transformers: Age of Extinction

Worst Director: Michael Bay, Transformers: Age of Extinction

Worst Remake, Rip-Off, or Sequel: Annie

3 underrated (HBO) Max movies you should watch this weekend (June 28-30)

A girl looks at a boy in House at the End of the Street.

June is surprisingly over, and with it, a great month for movies comes to a satisfactory close. You've probably watched Inside Out 2 or Bad Boys: Ride or Die or maybe even The Bikeriders. From blockbusters to indie fare, the theatrical movie business has been robust and healthy.

The same goes for streaming. Netflix had a big hit with Richard Linklater's Hit Man, while Amazon Prime Video recently premiered the latest bonkers season of The Boys. HBO and Max have been quieter, but their robust library speaks volumes to the streamer's high quality. The following three films are older, but are just as worth your time as new hits like House of the Dragon season 2.
The Skin I Live In (2011)

Two men spy from a car in The Limey.

As we head toward the end of June, it's worth reflecting on how we want to spend the rest of summer. For some, that's going to mean enjoying nice weather or getting some time in at the beach. For others, it might mean escaping from the heat, at least for a while, to check out a great movie.

If you fall into that second category, then we've pulled together a list of three great, underrated, titles available on Amazon Prime Video that are all worth checking out. Prime Video is home to some of the best movies available online, but it can be hard to find the ones you want. These three will at least give you a great place to start.

The best Netflix original series right now

Eric and Benedict Cumberbatch in Eric.

The era of Peak TV was also Peak Netflix, because the streamer seemingly had an endless supply of new original series. So far in 2024, that hasn't been the case. Whether we'll ever get the same level of content again seems unlikely for now. But even in a reduced capacity, Netflix still has a few new additions to its lineup of originals.

For the month of June, we're adding the '80s-set thriller, Eric, which stars Benedict Cumbebatch. Our other pick for the month is Supacell, which is Netflix's new British series that remixes some old superhero archetypes. That's not a very big selection for fans who always want something new, but this roundup of the best Netflix original series really does have all of the top options in one place for you. All you have to do is scroll down and make time to binge watch some shows.
