Welcome to the New Year. Let me remind you of last year's garbage.

I saw quite a few lousy movies in 2014, perhaps in the hopes of finding something in the rare "so-bad-it's good" category.

Unfortunately, I didn't find anything to go alongside my go-to classics "The Room" and "Batman & Robin." Maybe Tuesday's home video release of Nicolas Cage's "Left Behind" will make the cut.

In keeping with the spirit of awfulness, I'm watching the tornado thriller "Into the Storm" as I write this article. Stay tuned to the end to see if it makes the list.

In alphabetical order:

Blended

Adam Sandler doesn't really make comedies anymore. "Blended," as with his most recent movies, just festers on the screen, without jokes, story, character or anything you should expect as a paying consumer. Sandler pulls Drew Barrymore into his clutches too, as if to conjure warm memories of "The Wedding Singer" or even "50 First Dates." Sandler's next movies will be going straight to Netflix, sparing theatergoers of his evil, if only temporarily.

Gimme Shelter

A manipulative, insufferable melodrama about a pregnant teenager (an out-of-her-depths Vanessa Hudgens) hoping to find her own father. Rosario Dawson, Brendan Fraser and even James Earl Jones are also dragged into this sanctimonious hogwash.

The Legend of Hercules

I'm not talking about the underrated summer blockbuster starring The Rock. This chintzy, gratuitously green-screened dud came out in January and stars Kellan Lutz as the titular hero. Believe it or not, but "Who is Kellan Lutz?" will be one of the least pressing questions you'll have about it.

The Other Woman

Leslie Mann and Cameron Diaz strain hard to inject laughs into this inept revenge comedy about a married woman teaming up with her husband's mistresses to punish the man they all thought they loved. It's a supposed Girl Power movie where the female cast talks exclusively about a single, thinly characterized man who isn't worth even five minutes of time, let alone an entire movie.

Reasonable Doubt

I can always count on my man Samuel L. Jackson to star in at least one piece of garbage every year. This legal drama is terrible, but I'm not going to tell you more about it so I can go back to pretending Jackson can do no wrong. Hey, remember how "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" was awesome? Sam Jackson rules.

Sabotage

The non-existent resurgence of Arnold Schwarzenegger-the-Movie-Star continues with this unpleasant and stilted thriller about a team of DEA agents-turned-thieves-turned-grisly murder victims.

Sex Tape

Cameron Diaz reappears on the list with this slapdash and strained comedy about a married couple who accidentally (?) upload their sex tape to the Internet. The movie isn't particularly gratuitous... just lazy and unfunny.

That Awkward Moment

The most painful 90 minutes of my life outside a dentist's office in 2014. This is a "Guy's Date Movie," where the three male leads act like idiots and treat women like a subspecies. If this movie accurately depicts dating in the modern age, then I hope to high heaven I'm never single again.

Vampire Academy

Sure, we all enjoy "The Hunger Games" and "Harry Potter." But "Vampire Academy" is what happens when Hollywood makes too many YA novels into would-be blockbusters.

Winter's Tale

Here you have a period drama/modern fairy tale featuring a time traveling, maybe immortal Colin Farrell with a weird haircut alongside a unicorn and the Devil played by Will Smith. It could fit the so-bad-it's-good category if it wasn't so tedious to sit through.

And...

Into the Storm

More inept than you would even expect for a "Twister" ripoff. The special effects are the only thing given proper effort in a movie that can't even stick to the loose rules in its found footage aesthetic. Tara Reid utters better dialogue more convincingly while being terrorized by Sharknados. At least I got some work done while watching it.
