I tried (and failed) to watch all of Black Sheep - the NZ horror flick about killer sheep. I endured the first 60 minutes of a dull, boring and unhumorous movie and couldn't be @rsed to watch the final 20 odd minutes. Avoid like dose of the clap*.

 

*May actually be more enjoyable than the movie itself.

For anybody who hasn't seen it yet - Watch "Knocked Up".

 

To rip off praise from The Times, it's as close to perfect as a comedy can get.

If you want to see a film where the Vikings make the Nazis look like cub scouts then rent out Pathfinder.

 

Truly a terrible, awful, shockingly bad film.

i bought this from amazon for 15 quid when it came out.and your dead right what a lot of b****x!!! was hoping it might be like one of my faves, 13th Warrior.

Oh dear.

 

Just seen Dragon Wars. The cgi in the trailer looked like a bit of fun and who doesn't like watching mythical creatures slug it out - so I was expecting to enjoy this one. Woah was I wrong.

 

Easily the worst film I've seen and I've seen some stinkers. Just goes to show that throwing buckets of cash at a computer studio won't make your film a success.

 

Only watch it if you want to see just how bad films can be without a good script, cast or director.

Saw August Rush last night - best film i've seen in years!

[Roachmill]

Beowulf - don't bother I couldn't have cared less about any of the characters (except Angie of course ) and the best bit was the end credits (because it was over).

 

Bug - wasn't what I was expecting from the trailer at all.Thought it was going to be a pretty straight up creepy insects killing folk kinda deal... wrong! Was well impressed, disturbed and my fear of dentists is still firmly intact

I watched Stardust, the new one with Michelle Pfieffer and Robert DeNiro last night. A fantastic film. Recommended to everyone.

Yeah, Stardust is good, enjoyed that one. Very tidy film, everything is as you want it to be but for Robert DeNiro's character which just seemed a little odd for him. He gave it a good go, but some people just shouldn't do things like that - it doesn't suit them.

[mogling]

Stardust is the best film I've seen in a long time!

I loved the novel, and watched the release date avidly... just happened to be sooth when it was on... Surpassed any expectations

 

Brilliant! I laughed, gret, jumped, and gret buckets at the end... every time I hear the Take That song, I get a 'warm fuzzy'

 

{Hope they think about making a movie of "Good Omens" next!!}

Beowulf - don't bother I couldn't have cared less about any of the characters (except Angie of course ) and the best bit was the end credits (because it was over).

Roachmill - the one you want to watch is Beowulf and Grendel, directed by Sturla Gunnarson in 2005, with Gerard Butler and Ingvar E Sigurdsson in the title roles. Just check those names against where the legend comes from ...

Visually gorgeous, no Hollywood glitz at all, a bloody lovely film. It's an Icelandic - British - Canadian offering, which IMHO gives it a running start over anything Hollywood is likely to come up with. (US patrons are free to disagree of course )

[Roachmill]

^^Yup, had that on me radar but reviews said it sucked. Will give it a go though.

[DamnSaxon]

^^

Ah, but what are the reviewers used to? Hollywood!

My only reservation is that they're a bit over-free with the word "f*ck", but that isn't much of a reservation these days. Or, read the original & make up the pictures yourself ...
