Lakeview Terrace (I think that's what it's called?!). An ok film but has a rubbish ending. I was left feeling a bit 'meh'.

Transporter 3 - comical as usual and i didn't pay too much attention.

[M a r k]

Righteous Kill - what are De Niro and especially Pacino thinking? utter turd.

Pacino has been in three of the worst films i've seen in the past couple years. this one, 2 for the money, and the worst of the bunch - 88 minutes. Bizarre.

The Day the Plot Earth Stood Still

Utter utter utter sentimental shit, especially as there was no hint of 'Klatu Nikto Barrada' (sp)

90mins of my life wasted.

Why do pretty and clever graphics always equal shit story? Why is that?!

Not in the case of Pans labyrinth though, "there's an exception to every rule", stick that on the cliche list friend!

[Atlanteanlost]

It was suppossed to be in.

Is it really sentimental? Why do pretty and clever graphics always equal shit story? Why is that?!

[Katster]

I thought it was fairly bland. Canny as a dark fairytale, but that hardly constitutes a good story.

Unconditional love between mother and aquired child save the f**king day because the super advanced alien society think thats the basis for our ability to change. f**kING NONSENSE

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not the reconstituted family bollocks again. What next? Remake of a sci-fi classic in which a rubbish everyday 'alienated' dad overcomes alien odds to salvage not only the world, but more importantly, the respect of his children, his ex-missus and himself?!

Good sci-fi ended with Event Horizon. It was more than just Miller who exited through the black hole.

The Day The Earth Stood Still - Oh dear me. If you could bottle one film and slap a label on it, this film would be "Hollywood 2008" as it represents EVERYTHING I've come to loathe about the film industry.

The most current and up to date political correctness? Check.

Product placement? Check.

Cheesy plot points and scenes that wouldn't be out of place in a comedy spoof? Check.

Sickening sentimentality? Check.

Remake? Check.

Famous good looking actors, representing "everyday person"? Check.

Absolute w*nk CGI effects featurring far too heavily? Check.

Completely non-engaging and utterly tired and old to those with more than half a brain? Check.

A stupid, naive, half-baked "moral to the story" that is really just government propaganda of some sort? Check.

My pal is still insisting I go and watch The Day The Earth Stood Still with him in the new year, even though everyone is saying it's shite. I'll probably like it

You will spend most of the time staring at the screen with your mouth slightly open in complete shock.

It is fast becoming the worst large budget film I have ever seen. That position has been occupied by Titanic for a long time now but may well be toppled.

Independence Day needs a mention somewhere in amongst that.

[Atlanteanlost]

Is it as bad as War of The Worlds remake?

That is a work of art compared to 10,000BC
