Jay(2006) Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Black Christmas (2006) 4/10 Even having Michelle Trachtenberg couldn't save this $9 million pile of crap, and it certainly make we care in the slightest out seeing the admittedly better half budget original from 1974. For someone with what appears to be relatively decent taste in movies (going by some of your reviews), you don't half watch a lot of shite the rest of the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaltyTON Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 And sometimes the really bad is really good. Precisely, I give you Jack Frost and Rumpelstiltskin, so incredibly shite that they're brilliant! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaltyTON Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Beowulf (2007) 3/10 Given up on this shite, okay it's not a great version from TV Links, but it played constantly for the first hour, and its started buffering like f**k now, but I really couldn't care less about it. Mince! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaltyTON Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I watched The Devils Rejects the other night. Absolutely garbage.I thought it was going to be quite good when it started as it had quite a gritty, raw look about it. Then it unfolded into the worst piece of crap I have seen so far this year. What is it supposed to be? The film finished and I still couldn't decide how I was meant to feel about any of the characters. I really wasn't bothered what happened to any of them and in the end I just wanted them all to die and be done with it. Shite film, shite execution. The only saving grace was Sheri Moon, until she opened her mouth. 1/10 Did you even watch the first film? Watching a sequel without seeing the opening part is never going to let you get a feel for the characters. Okay the first one is not that good, but after seeing it TDR goes from a 1 to a 10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaltyTON Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I watched it by chance on a sky channel, I didn't deliberately go see it. If I did I may have checked out the prequel.It's shite either way though. There's deliberately no character development in TDR, as it was all done in House of 1000 Corpses so that Zombie could get straight on with it, and bring in a few horror legends along the way like Danny Trejo, Ken Foree and Matthew McGrory. The use of Freebird at the end is probably the best use of rock song in film history. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaltyTON Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Soul Survivors (2001) 7/10 A little bit close to the bone, so probably made it a lot better film to me than most. The average rating of 3.5 on IMDb shows this... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stemjsim Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Death Sentance 8/10 Some nice gritty violence. But then it's by the director of the Saw series i think so it should be 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayBees Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Ed Wood The best Tim Burton film IMO. I got this on DVD for £4 after my old video player finally croked it. Great film, really funny, loads of great characters. Especially the immortal line from Bela Lugosi - "Nobody gives two fucks for Bela!". And who esle could get Sarah Jessica Parker to say "Does my face really look like a horse?"? Yes Sarah, it does! 10/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kincardine Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I Am Legend 1/10 Completely pointless film with a storyline thinner than my wallet after my wife's asked to borrow a few quid. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire 5/10 Quite a decent film in itself but too far removed from the book for my liking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please tell me he dies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tongue_tied_danny Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Night at the golden eagle. I'd never heard of this before but it was £1 in Tesco so I bought it for the hell of it. It's pretty decent but no masterpiece. Vinnie Jones plays a pimp in a seedy flop house in LA. 6/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DomDom Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 No Country For Old Men 6/10 Overrated to hell. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it, but a lot of it also seemed pointless. Even moreso at the end of things. However, that's not to say there isn't a lot to like about it. Even though the ending was a bit naff, it was pretty well done considering. Also, the assassin was as heartless a p***k as I've seen on the big screen. So there's good stuff about it, but nothing to get your knickers in a twist over. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa Cuddy Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Hmm, better so than the Layla death montage in Goodfellas? I just watched Goodfellas for the first time on Wednesday there, and that was definitely my favourite bit. Fantastic! Adam's bought the Godfather trilogy for £12 in Tesco today, so we'll be watching them soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
