    Mission to Mars was pretty good... until the ending.

    There are some truly awful "video nasties" that were unbanned. Here's two I can remember:
    The Driller Killer (1979)
    The Burning (1981)

    Oh, and any movie by Uwe Boll is atrocious, for example:
    Postal (2007)
    In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale (2007)
    BloodRayne II: Deliverance (2007) (V)
    Alone in the Dark (2005)
    I can't understand how this guy is still making movies. One of his current projects is listed as "Darfur" - I think the UN needs to step in and put the kybosh on him.
    Heathen. Postal was a perfect adaptation of the game postal2 and very good for it. Faultless, brainless, immature and all the more hilarious for it.

    i expected it to be v. funny, but it was painful to watch..
    If you expect it to be like the live shows then yes, not good. But for a fun bit of slapstick then it was all right.

    Bah, great film and one I would choose for my favourites list. All a matter of opinion eh?


    I would choose -

    Die Hard 4.0, tried to watch it twice and both times failed.
    All of those films that try to be like scary movie (disaster movie, meet the spartans etc etc). It was funny when they did it, but not for the 1 millionth time after recycling the same old crap!

    Thank god! I was beginning to think I was the only 1. I bought it on DVD and gave it away after the first watch I was so disgusted with it.

    I would have had to say originally that Mama Mia was the film I wouldn't watch, but Sony sent me a blu-ray copy and the mrs insisted we watch it. Sure enough it was a awful as i'd thought. No lying from me though, I told ehr straight how bad it was :-) I was sat there wanting to grab Pierce Brosnan by the shoulders and shake some sense into him whilst shouting at him..."you used to be james bond, you were cool, what are you doing, what have you lowered yourself to!!"..... Rant over :-)

    +1 for Plan 9. Wooden set, wooden script and wooden acting

    Brokeback Mountain almost had me shove needles into to my eyes to alleviate the boredom!!! In fact as I recall I may have had a 10 minute shut eye while it was on such was the scintilation of the movie!!!

    Any adaptation of Phillip K Dick or Isaac Asimov's work since Bladerunner - particularly anything done by Stephen Spiel.

    Any American film which claims in the credits to be 'Based on a true story' or 'Based on a story by' or any variation of those phrases.
