What films have you bought that have proved a real let down - turkeys ?
Little Miss Sunshine - awful...was praying for cloud
The Painted Veil - cuckolded Doctor drags wife off to China hoping they'll both catch Cholera!
Outlaw - Bean is toast in this underwhelming vigilante pic.
To name but three.
gobble-gobble
I really liked it, percy :lol:...so that'll be the first turkey for my 'interesting' collection....;)Quote:

I'll be well shot of it.
Actually, the commentary track is okay.
When it comes to movies I think the great age of Hollwood was in the '30s and '40s.
Especially the comedies.
So I went looking on U-tube.
And here's what I found!

Thanks for the kind offer, PT, but I was thinking more of a virtual turkey collection.... :lol:Quote:

It'll stay on my shelf then as a curio - to be honest shortly after offering it I'd been haunted by doubt!! - after all I paid twelve quid for it.:eek: I'm glad you knocked me back to be honest Angela. I shall keep my largesse in check in future.
After all as your epithet says - "you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone"...and a Turkeys not just for Christmas;)
Daywatch was a real let down. There was such a big write up on it then i purchased it, pure rubbish! I turned it off about an hour into it because i had no idea what on earth it was meant to be about, it had no meaning to it.
After watching one hour of it, binned!!! Does not even deserve to sit with our 400+ dvd collection!! :lol:
Against the Dark 0/10 god awful film, Steven Segal aginst Zombies. Dont watch this utter rubish. My bruv inlaw who is a big segal fan told me about it and i though I'll give it a look and thats 15min of my life i wont get back.
That's a shame - I really liked that film although it had me in tears cos it was so sad. I now know what it must be like to die of cholera - and what an awful colour it turns your body!! :eek:Quote:

I'm glad you liked it. I shall re-visit it one day. I'd found Norton's character rather insipid I'm afraid - in a visual sense too. Naomi Watts doesn't suit dark hair either. Superficial flaws I know but if the superficialities are not quite right I'm afraid it acts a barrier to empathy for me - I suppose that suggests I'm shallow.Quote:

FYI y.o.d. this film also goes under another name - I think it's 'Inferno'Quote:
