We can't say this surprises us. The reviews popping up for Bounty Hunter are terrible. But also, they're great. Great because they prove our theory that Gerard Butler is in the wrong profession. Great because it brings us one step closer to the abolition of the genre (now all we need is a crappy opening weekend). Great because after Love Happens and now this, Jennifer Aniston might start taking herself seriously. And most of all, great because it's way more fun to hear critics tear into a movie than praise it. After the jump, some of the best jibes.

Meh, it's anyone guess how LiLo, ever the object of public curiosity, keeps finding the eleven letters of her name magnetically drawn to almost-A-listers lately. There was that whole sordid thing with Gerard Butler, although Lohan reportedly put the kibosh on that. So now there are whispers -- just breathy susses, at that -- of LiLo and former Mr. Reese Witherspoon Ryan Phillippe "getting cozy" at L.A. club Voyeur recently.

Well isn't this utterly vile! Our condolences, Jennifer Aniston! Not only has your former flame's flick flat-lined over the weekend, but he's allowed himself to be swooped by the ever-enterprising Lindsay Lohan, who is apparently looking to plant a few tabloid seeds before her big excursion to India. We're not blaming Lohan, who's willing to attach herself to the underbelly of any high-profile Hollywoodster in order to climb back to studios' good graces. That's an epic ascent. How to speed it along? With a little tongue naturally.

There's only so much Hollywood good will a monster hit will afford you. 300 turned Frank Miller (and adaptations of his graphic novel work) into a hot Hollywood commodity, but Miller probably extinguished his own flame by directing the ridiculous The Spirit. 300 also made its director Zack Snyder an event filmmaker, and though Watchmen may not have performed as well as people expected, Snyder's talent was never in question. As for 300's star Gerard Butler, who for a while seemed ready to rise from Vin Diesel's ashes as the next great action star, he's since removed most of his cachet with astounding surgical precision. Since 300, his films (P.S. I Love You, Nim's Island, RocknRolla, The Ugly Truth, Gamer) have grossed an approximate total of $214 million dollars. But even worse, each one of them was utterly forgettable. And now, less than a month after Gamer tanked comes Law Abiding Citizen, Butler's new thriller with Jamie Foxx. And, well, things aren't looking good.
