lauriesrank Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 (edited) So..... the wife has been having a sunday in front of the telly watching films, and I have now watched an hour of one of the worst ever since troll 2. Well, half watched, it's a bruce willis film called reprisal, has anyone else had to suffer it??? Utter utter utter claptrap!!! A guy just fired 27 shots out of his smith and wesson, which is impressive since I'm sure it only holds 15!!

Auld Reekin' Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 I once watched "Amityville Horror 4", dubbed into Spanish, on a bus from Barcelona to Zaragoza. It was really, REALLY, bad. (It did make me laugh though!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martoon Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 World War Z. Utter shite. Sat through it at the cinema and, not long after, someone gave me the DVD as a present. Gave it a second chance and, if anything, it was worse. Hardly used DVD free to a good home. Collect in person and I'll reimburse you for the petrol/bus fare.

Debut 4 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Kevin Costner’s 3 Days To Kill. You think you’re onto a hidden gem as it starts off with a bang. Descends into almost a Father/Daughter relationship struggle plot while throwing in a bit action here and there. Film slowly disintegrates.

People mistake films that are about character relationships rather than strict plots as directionless but that film has superb acting. One of Bill Murray's career highlights. Opinions obviously differ but I thought it lacked as much in the way of character relationship or good acting as it did plot. A bunch of rich Americans making a whisky advert, a task they saw as beneath them, bored sitting around in a five star hotel in the centre of one of the most exciting cities in the world, Tokyo seen only through the high rise hotel windows. Bill Murray expressionless, Scarlet Johansen equally so doing her impression of a drugged Marilyn Monroe. The gags I remember would have been outdated in a TV sketch show of 50 or 60 years ago. Murray in a shower, too tall to fit under the shower head. Shot of Murray apparently alone in a lift, camera pulls back to reveal the lift is crowded with Japanese people. Japanese Director of the ad talks rapidly for a minute to the cast. Translator translates with one short sentence ("hold the glass closer" or some such). See, Japanese people are short and speak a funny language using twenty words when one will do. Yet the audience which has been brainwashed by the pre-publicity laughs uproariously. Of more recent offerings, the thing about Queen Anne with Olivia Coleman. I have even suppressed the title from my memory, but can just recall the hyper-ventilating Coleman (matched by much of the cast) and the equally out of control plot and direction.

A Boy Named Crow Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Vanilla Sky, unspeakably bad film!

Drugged Marilyn Monroe?I don't agree at all, she is good as is he. He was Oscar nominated. I think it's a dry film comedy wise there isn't actually that much in it, but the shot in the lift isn't a joke but a good shot visually and it is full of them. And them talking quicker isn't a joke but to show the differences in culture.
