A funny and sad film about the Pope's visit to a small town in Uruguay in 1988 and how the underclass come up with all manner of get-rich schemes which you know are doomed to failure, and how the local media whips them up into a frenzy and encourages them. Very low-key. Moving.

Wow. That gives whole new meaning to the word bloated ( Read more... )

Visually stunning. Absolutely beautiful.

Everything else about it is irredeemably shit.

Except that Snow saves the prince at the end. But even the positive gender role message at the end doesn't make up for the appalling script and acting.

I love del Toro but somehow it's taken me all this time to get round to watching this.

It's OK, but I think I've been spoiled by The Conjuring - I didn't find it spooky at all, and wasn't even all that impressed by the visuals (which you can always count on with del Toro).

Might have to watch it again just to make sure I wasn't having a bad day.

Wasn't going to bother with this because I heard it was terrible. However, I saw the trailer recently and Jason and I both decided we had to see a film that features the line "We're going to need more holy water".

That was the best line in the whole film, but it was a good rainy Saturday afternoon leave-your-brain-at-the-door piece of cheesy

Tim Burton does Frankenstein, animated, in a modern day US setting, with a young boy resurrecting his beloved dog.

It looks pretty and is kind of cute and heart warming, but there's really not much to it.

The DVD has been sitting around at home for ages and we finally got round to it on Saturday night ( Read more... )

Not as good as the first one, but better than a lot of sequels ( Read more... )
