On December 20 2019, the worst movie I have ever seen came to theaters. The live action adaption of the 1981 musical Cats was released.

Another disappointment has hit theaters this year, and “It” is about as boring as any other pronoun in the English language. The remake of the 1990 version came out on September 8, but even after almost 20 years, producers, Dan Lin, Roy Lee, and Seth Grahame-Smith failed to improve the movie. The...
