That's like saying the Towering Inferno was based on a fire in a waste paper bin in a Skyscraper.

It was good to see a vampire film in a different light.
I'm probably being too harsh. I did find it quite sad and got a little lump at the end.



Also watched Paranormal Activity 2 - 3/10

2 hour film where nothing happens for 1.50 and the last 10 minutes are meh at best.

Found the actual report here - I was being flippant.

I can agree with that!

It was a waste of time watching it, I could have done something more fun like sleeping

I think both films only work in cinemas where you get more engrossed into a film. The first would have been not too bad in the cinema.



Waiting until June for the Ayrton Senna movie. Sounds awesome although many have said that it paints Prost in quite a poor (and probably unfair) light.

I thought Paul was a good funny movie - real laugh out loud stuff in bits.

It was good - you could spot the sci fi fans in the cinema who only laughed at the more obscure references.

I dunno but I think Battle of Los Angeles has to take the award for worst film. My mate bought it mistakingly thinking it was Battle: Los Angeles. Absolutely awful film and we watched less than 10 mins it was that bad. Read some of these reviews on IMDB - just for a chuckle:
