3. Immortals

"Look at me and my stupid fucking hat!"
IBOREtals more like (see what I did there?).

I fell asleep (twice) during this green screen shit fest. An un-engaging romp from start to finish. And what the fuck John Hurt is doing in this crappathon, I have no idea.

Dull plot, boring dialogue, dismal action scenes - this film manages to make the decapitation of a minotaur seem tedious. Add this to this some phoned in performances (I'm looking at you Rourke, Dorff) and what do you have?

The worst film of 2011, without a doubt.


2. The Devil's Double

"Yes, you're right - I am a little like Tony Montana."
The Devil's Double is a bit like a low budget Face/Off. It has one quality acting bod playing two roles, rather than Nic Cage and Johnny Travelator playing two.

Dominic Cooper  is excellent in the central roles - as both the psychotic Uday and the other nicer bloke with slightly different hair and better teeth.

The film's biggest problem is that it doesn't know whether it wants to be a full on Scarface 'em up or a (semi) serious film about Saddam's nutty regime. Overall it's an enjoyable mess that has some memorable moments - especially the special wedding gift Uday likes to pass on to newly married brides.

1. The Cabin In The Woods

Pucker Up Fuzzball.
Believe the Hype!!

The Cabin In The Woods is the most fun I've had watching a horror film this year! Great script, smart cast (especially Richard Jenkins and Bradley Whitford) and plenty of hot teenage death!

QUALITY!

As We Begin

If It Bleeds We Can Kill It... Just a place for me to record all the movies I see and give a brief opinion of them. I ripped this idea off a friend of mine whose blog you can find here.

So without further to do, let us proceed.
