1. Ben Kingsley - The Love Guru/BloodRayne
Where do we even begin? Ben Kingsley is probably one of the finest actors alive today, having appeared in Schindler's List and won an Oscar for Gandhi, the film that made his career. He's been knighted by Queen Elizabeth, awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, won a Grammy, a BAFTA, and was nominated for an Emmy and several more Academy Awards. Perhaps that's what makes this so difficult. I searched for something good to say about these movies, but there really isn't much that can be said. After having portrayed the most revered Indian of all time in Gandhi, Kingsley appeared in Mike Myers' unqualified disaster, The Love Guru, as an Indian "guru" named Tugginmypudha. Seriously. Fortunately, that's a lot better than Guru Satchabigknoba or Dick Pants, both of which are actual character names from the film. But maybe he was willing to overlook such childish jokes to work with... Jessica Simpson, Kanye West, and the guy-who-voices-Shrek? You could be forgiven for thinking it couldn't get any worse, but unfortunately it does: BloodRayne, the one video game adaptation that Gametrailers picked as worse than Super Mario Bros. How director Uwe Boll, a man who actually challenges his critics to fight him and who Gametrailers calls "the Stanley Kubrick of crap," convinced Kingsley to get on board is anyone's guess. At that point Boll already had a pretty clear reputation as one of the worst directors of all time, leaving absolutely no excuse for Sir Ben.
