Had a week of work, and it has allowed me to watch a heap of movies...unfortunately most of them junk, so much so that I was tempted to start a “Recommend A Film You Have Seen Recently That Should Never Be Seen Under Any Circumstance What So Ever Even If Watching Said FilmYou Manage To Get A Chance To Get It On With A Lovely Lass, As Meatloaf May Have Once Said...I Would Do Anything For Love, But No Way In Hell Am I Going To Watch That Steaming Pile Of Turd Dressed Up As A Movie...........Thread” (Ok the title may need a little refining to be honest) but thought it to be better to keep it all in the same thread for the time being, having said that ifone was to be started I would be posting so much anger that even the forum whores would be impressed.
First up, Daybreakers – The Spierig brothers are now in my top 5 list of directors whom I despise...not enough to dislodge Michael Mann from the top spot yet but close. Upon checking their filmography I found these guys are also responsible for Undead. Thats 2 strikes guys...another one and I'm coming after you, this is a warning. Score 2 out of 10 (only because you could see Willem Defoe's obviously losing the will to live and act as the film goes on
Next up Valkyrie – I should have known, I really should have seen the signs. They are all there for everyone to see, yet I missed them and viewed the first 20/25 mins of this film. How does it end, don't know and I don't care. For all I know Tom Cruise's character has a crisis of confidence before the bombing and then spends half the film running away from the truth. Score 3 out of 10, all 3 points thanks to Bill Nighy
Third – The Day The Earth Stood Still (remake) – Keaunu Reeves....remake...AVOID. Score Banana out of 10. That's right a Banana, can't even give it a proper score. Watch the 1951 original instead.
There have been good movies that I have watched, so I haven't wasted my holiday and got my blood pressure up....but I'll post them latter
