Parasite - 8/10
Sputnik - 7/10

2 points too low for Parasite

Last Christmas - 4/10. Good grief, a couple of people had recommended this, but all the characters are pretty terrible, it's obvious what's going to happen after a while and a pretty horrible portrayal of homeless people. To think I wasted good Christmas film time watching this :fp:

10/10

Disney's A Christmas Carol (Jim Carrey)

Not my favourite take on the classic tale, but still not bad.

6/10

Days of Thunder

Top Gun in race cars, but better

7/10

Nativity 2: Whatever it's called - zero, nada, nil, nothing out of 5. My kids insisted on watching this and it's quite possibly the single worst film I've ever seen. There seems to be some kind of weird plot that involves a teacher who is too nervous to do exciting lessons with the kids but they then show that by dropping kids over a cliff on a rope or sending them white water rafting. The only sensible conclusion would have ended up with both leads incarcerated for child endangerment. It makes zero sense, is terribly acted (by people who should know a lot better) and they even managed to make kids singing Christmas songs toe-curlingly appalling. I mean, no one on here is actually going to watch it but if you've got kids and they want to then I suggest you sell them into indentured servitude.

On the subject of gooseberry fool Christmas films, I watched Father Christmas is Back the other day. Truly awful. It was attempting to be a funny, chaotic Christmas romp, but it was just all over the place. Loud, unfunny garbage.

Another gooseberry fool Christmas film I watched was The Knight Before Christmas. A 13th century knight from Norwich travels forward in time for some reason and inexplicably ends up in small town Ohio. It was so odd that I didn't actually hate it :lol:

It knew it was stupid and cheesy, but it was relatively watchable for a lazy Sunday.

I've seen all three with Mr Poppy :shifty:

They're all filmed/produced pretty locally in the Midlands so it's one of those films that you watch just to spot places you know :slol:

Is the second film the one where they take the DUKW to Warwick Castle but claim it's far off in the wilderness of Wales?

I've got a bit of a soft spot for the first one but they get exponentially worse with each new film. Still haven't found the time to watch the fourth :dread:

Yeah the first Nativity is partly filmed in my old school so I like it just for watching the background :lol:

Nativity 3 is apparently even worse.

Jingle All the Way - 10/10

These low-budget British films always look utter gash, it's a wonder they make any money at all. I'm sure kids enjoy them though which is all that matters really, I don't think most adults are the target demographic.

My daughter watched the Horrid Henry movie the other day and it had Dick & Dom gurning their way through most of it from what I saw, it looked abysmal, but she enjoyed it.

I've only seen Nativity 1 (well I think it's the first one - it's whichever one has Martin Freeman in). It's definitely not a great movie but it's passable as far as Christmas kid stuff goes.

Talking of gooseberry fool Christmas movies, we watched Deck the Halls on the weekend, strawberry floating hell that's a gooseberry fool movie. Danny DeVito and Matthew Broderick play out a dull 90 minutes of utter dross. Apparently it's the third worst reviewed Christmas movie on Rotten Tomatoes. Avoid at all costs!

I love this, but am always saddened to see Phil Hartmann being great in it, such a loss - RIP

Yep, I had to sit through that one as well last week. FML. It's such a nasty movie as well, everyone in it is an absolute arsehole.

Yeah it's like someone forgot that on some level Christmas movies need to have a bit of heart to them!

Proper. When he flatly says to Arnie from outta nowhere ‘You can’t benchpress your way out of this one’ it always cracks me up…shortly before Arnie uppercuts the reindeer unconscious. What a film.

Godzilla vs Kong- 7.5/10
the monkey hit the lizard then the lizard hit the monkey and then they became friends and punched the robot
10/10 film of the year literally perfect

Justice League - Snyder Cut - 8/10

Sounds odd but those 4 hours flew by. Really enjoyed this. Cyborg and Flash really come across loads better and the villain was great too. Last chapter was very poor but apart from that it's a solid film and a different feeling film to most modern super hero movies.

Yeah, it was way better than the original version, i watched it in two parts as i find i enjoy longer movies more when i do that.
