With all of the crazy hype about this film and Jhiggy's recommendation that I not see it, I had it in my mind that this was going to be the most dark, depressing, DEVIL of a film ever. Absolutely not the case. For what it is, it's well done. A bit too "artsy" at times, but overall I enjoyed it. For some reason, this film caught a rep that made the title seem as thought it was a literal description. At the end of the film, I had the same feeling as I did after seeing The Road... "That was it?"

edit: changed my rating.

Thanks for the review but w/ the subject matter, I'll probably steer clear.

We watched:

The Adventures of Mr Toad and Ichabod Crane (1949)

A dual story on one DVD. We mainly wanted to watch Ichabod Crane as it's a classic Halloween movie for adults and kids. Excellent. Highly recommended for those who want something fun and light to watch around this time of year.

4/5

Fuelled by paranoia and isolation, The Thing is one of my fave Horror films,

10/10

I posted it in here, Search "Iron Man 2 face melting", I think it should come up pretty quickly. As for believing it, I'll leave that up to you

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 5/5
PQ 4/5
AQ 3.5/5
One of the best movies of the 80s to me. Gorgeous actress for April, solid casts for the ninjas and plenty of fun action as well.

It took me like a month to watch it first time around thanks to it's age rating, I'll try and get round to it as quick as possible. Don't worry, I'm too much of a snarky @$$hole to be called a wuss...yet again I'm too much of a snarky @$$hole to be proven wrong

let's just say I'm British

Whats the age rating on the film in the UK?

Edit: I looked it up.....its 15....now whats your excuse Mr. Brit? And you recorded it anyway.

15, but as it's on recorded it has a pin number. If you live in England and have a Sky+ box, you would know that no one knows what the pin number is and it will always be a mystery. I've got a friend who has been trying to watch the ending of Apocalypse Now for a few months now after I recommend it to him just because of that pin number

You need to re-write that, because it makes no sense. Plus, you are 15, so your PIN should be fine, right?

I'm 16 but it's a safty lock thing, it's a code you need to imput and no one has a clue what it is.

Then ask your parents, or call Sky and get one.

Weak excuses. Try harder.
