Paris Hilton's "Repo! The Genetic Opera": Worst Movie Of All Time
By Robert Paul Reyes
"Socialite Paris Hilton's new movie Repo! The Genetic Opera has been savaged by film critics, insisting that the movie is 'just plain awful and nearly unwatchable'. The remark was made by the Los Angeles Times critic Mark Olsen."

Paris Hilton is the perfect celebrity for today's fast-paced society; she is best appreciated a sound bite at a time. I don't mind devoting a couple of seconds to ogling her latest pantyless pic, or even ten seconds to watching footage of her entering a police car. But who in their right mind would set aside two hours for a Paris Hilton movie? I couldn't even take more than five minutes of her home sex tape, her vamping before the camera irritated the hell out of me.
It's absolute folly for a Hollywood producer to hire Paris Hilton - her name is box office poison. Hilton has bombed as a singer, only her most rapid fans will plunk down a dollar to download her latest 3-minute digital single. It stands to reason that only her die-hard fans and sadomasochists will endure a two hour Hilton movie.
Even a 30-second trailer for a Hilton movie is too much for human beings to digest. Hilton's movie should only be screened at the Guantanamo Bay prison camp, after 30 minutes of this god-awful flick the terrorists will confess to every crime under the sun.
