Harry says DOOMSDAY is bugnuts!

Bugnuts by boogaooga	Mar 19th, 2008 12:57:40 AM
First and no its not bugnuts its really shitty but instead of telling you that Harry thought he would confuse you by saying bugnuts repatedly
beep beep beep by thebearovingian	Mar 19th, 2008 12:58:04 AM
Bugnuts.
You, sir, are bugnuts. by thebearovingian	Mar 19th, 2008 01:02:39 AM
The whole fuck it and put it in a shallow grave so you could dig it back up later and fuck it again is insanely creepy and crazy. Other than that, keep up the good work!
for real.... by jebuslovesyou666	Mar 19th, 2008 01:03:37 AM
this movie BLLLOOOOWWWWSSS bugnuts. Definetly disappointing, ecspecially since the director was the man behind The Descent.And Dog Soldiers is blown way at of proportion too.
mmmmm Suicidegirl by redfist	Mar 19th, 2008 01:04:55 AM
Nothing like fucking white trash, punk rock, emotastic, tattooed girls that look like they are 12 years old. This is a good thing mind you. Sounds like a shitty good little movie.
Harry, this is an by Mezzanine	Mar 19th, 2008 01:05:31 AM
AWEFUL review. But at the same time, despite the lapses of logic, and you not really saying anything constructive one way or another, and despite the fact that I dont even know if you would recommend going to see this - I kind of liked it.
And not even a word about Rhona Mitra? by thebearovingian	Mar 19th, 2008 01:05:35 AM
WTF, Harry?! Is she hotter than ever in this film choppin' fools up and rollin' heads?
Blending will be the new Remake Trend by ThePilgrim	Mar 19th, 2008 01:05:58 AM
Mix various good films into one giant shit ball and call it you own.. I still want too see this one though. Even though It doesn't seem to have one single original idea in play. Will wait for bootleg..
WHERE HAVE THE DRIVE-INS GONE?!? by CENOBITE	Mar 19th, 2008 01:07:49 AM
You never felt BAD about seeing a trashy flick at a drive in! You reveled in it and ate up that bad pizza, awesome popcorn and watched the kitties and puppies (and maybe a show about train safety) before the next 'showtime'. My favorite double feature was CLASH OF THE TITANS and TRON. That was an awesome night!
Terrible movie! by Kid Idioteque	Mar 19th, 2008 01:11:00 AM
NOTHING original about it. Trying to defend it as homage is futile. It is never as good as the movies it tries to be. Not even close. OK, the gore is well done... other than that? Nothing here to like, at all.
dammit by The Amazing G	Mar 19th, 2008 01:13:55 AM
now I want to see this to know what happens at the end, but I'll defiantly have to wait for the dvd. thanks Harry
Bugnuts INDEED! But SKIP the politics, please! by superduper3000	Mar 19th, 2008 01:19:22 AM
I re-read that thing about five times, and I'm still not sure what Harry was driving at... is there something wrong with me? What did he mean...? But I do wish Harry would stop talking about politics... it's painfully obvious how little he knows or understands the subject, its embarrassing... and a bit jarring. Don't we get enough of Hollywood trying to influence political though that we don't need watered-down, third-hand borrowed opinions? He can say what he wants, its his site... but its a little off putting... Smash Bros! http://tinyurl.com/2unrm7

shocktillyoudrop.com gave this 8/10 by The Outlander	Mar 19th, 2008 01:20:35 AM
So maybe they are bugnuts as well.
it was a lot of fun by Jarek	Mar 19th, 2008 01:24:45 AM
Idiotic, but crazy. I'll pick up low budget insantity with DTV flicks, so why complain about a $30 million dollar DTV flick? It's tasty filler.
Alright Harry, enough is enough by IndustryKiller!	Mar 19th, 2008 01:27:45 AM
Seriously. This character that you're playing, Harry Knowles the overly giddy big kid who gets to play in the Hollywood sandbox, it's really getting old. And I'm sure on some level it's a part of you, maybe even a big part. But the things you say are getting absolutely incomprehensible and after like 90 stories worth of it it's a bit much. You are after all an adult, and you seem like a pretty smart guy so I doubt that you are anything less than self aware of the image you perpetrate. On that level it seems like you're doing a bit of posing. The catch phrase induced reviews....posing. The always giddy at a level of 10 no matter what attitude...posing. One of two things here is true, either you're doing it on purpose, or you care so little about film that you can't even be bothered to take it the least bit seriously. You used to be passionate about cinema, now it seems the only thing you're passionate about is being passionate as you just fire your exuberance randomly at whatever is in the crosshairs at any given time. And yeah I know it's a review for a fucking Neil Marshall film, but I'm talking in general. This review could literally be about any genre film. Cause even know the film is "bugnuts", you seem to think so little about it that you can write a page long review and never once say anything even remotely relevant. All I can assume is that you really and truly don't fucking care other than you respect it's existence as a studio film. And man if that's the best you can come up with then just spare us the frivolity.

DOOMSDAY was utter shite by Horace Cox	Mar 19th, 2008 02:19:38 AM
This movie wanted to be hot shit on a silver platter, but it's merely a cold turd on a paper plate. The only good thing about it was Rhona Mitra's spendid ass. If I could combine that ass, Carla Gugino's tits... Pardon me while I fetch a box of Kleenex and some lubricant...

Bob Hoskins, Alexander Siddig and Malcolm McDowell by Jaka	Mar 19th, 2008 02:27:28 AM
...in ANYTHING is better than Bob Hoskins, Alexander Siddig and Malcolm McDowell in nothing. Sounds like pretty much what I expected from the previews, other than the extreme 80's riffage. Still not sure this is something I can pay for in the theater, but you just convinced me to check it when it's released on DVD.
I don't know about... by Jaka	Mar 19th, 2008 02:31:13 AM
...what IndustryKiller! is sayin'. I've learned to pull the info I need from most of your reviews, but they do still sometimes make hidden parts of my grey matter ache. Really though, you just need to use more commas, dude.

All I took away from this review by ApneicMonkey	Mar 19th, 2008 02:46:07 AM
was that the film is bugnuts (whatever the fuck that is) and Harry enjoys digging up fresh dead people to violate. Even when Harry doesn't like a film now, he can't give it a nasty review. Grow some balls back you fat mess of a man - your site used to be the best but now it's just a watered down parody of itself.
...and may I add by ApneicMonkey	Mar 19th, 2008 02:51:17 AM
that for once, I completely agree with everything IndustryKiller said! This wasn't a review by some well-known flim critic - it was just another worthless internet rant by some bloated, tracksuit wearing human-dildo who believes people come to this site for him and not just the latest movie news.

I love how this review just devolves into necrophilia. "So basically, I would hit that, alive or not." you should just rate everything like that, Harry. Would you fuck it dead or leave it in peace?
SuicideGirls... by BiggusDickus	Mar 19th, 2008 03:44:19 AM
Now why did Neil waste all that money on sets and explosions when he could just have made 'SuicideGirls - The Movie'? Ninety minutes of tattooed cuties taking their tops off. I'd buy that for a dollar!
Oh, and Rhona Mitra... by BiggusDickus	Mar 19th, 2008 03:46:10 AM

Harry, you actually wrote this? by the podosphere	Mar 19th, 2008 03:59:54 AM
"DOOMSDAY is a spicy salsa construction where the tomato is ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK, the jalapeno is ROAD WARRIOR, the onion is 28 DAYS LATER and the lime juice is OUTBREAK." Not bad.

When I saw the trailer... by thedarklinglord	Mar 19th, 2008 05:18:55 AM
I had a hard time believing this could be a movie by the same dude who did Dog Soldiers and The Descent. The impression I got from the trailer was: "If movies were people, this is what you'd get if Escape From New York violently sodomized The Road Warrior, and then 28 Days Later came along and felched the load out of Road Warrior's ass and spat it into the yeasty snatch of any of those shitfest tough chick flicks from the last decade like Resident Evil, Ultraviolet, Underworld, Aeon Flux or whatever, and the snowballed goo actually started to grow, but was born premature into a mongoloid monstrosity that burst from the womb in a horrifying Alien-like explosion." And when I SAW the movie, I had to amend my opinion. This piece of shit wasn't built from the genetic material of movies like Escape from New York, The Road Warrior, and 28 Days Later; it was spawned by an incestuous dogpile of the retarded, inbred cousins of those movies. To borrow a line from Futurama: It was so terrible I think it gave me cancer.

So is it good? by Dreamseller	Mar 19th, 2008 05:27:31 AM

I don't get it... by Tourist	Mar 19th, 2008 05:34:12 AM
...any criticism leveled at this film about the fact that it flagrantly steals from other sources. Tarantino has made an entire career out of even more literal thefts. If you do it well, like he does, and like this appears to, its all good. Like someone else up there pointed out, this looks less like an amalgamation of American 80's trash and more like an amalgamation of 80's italian trash ripping off 80s American trash. I think this might be the first Neil Marshall film I'll go out of my way to catch.

Started out interesting, ended up FUBAR by Behemoth	Mar 19th, 2008 06:44:06 AM
(SPOILERS) I was into this in the beginning, but once they hit Medieval Times theme park, it was just idiotic and incredibly stupid. The scene toward the end with Saul and his minions chasing Mitra was an insult to Road Warrior - a cheap carbon copy of that brilliant film, complete with mohawk idiot screaming and slave tied to front of car. I guess that was the intent, but it rang so hollow. You'll forget this movie as soon as the credits roll. Although Rhona Mitra was certainly a saving grace. She's got a future.
Best Review Ever! by just pillow talk	Mar 19th, 2008 06:55:02 AM

First Harry think of a catchphrase... by random dude	Mar 19th, 2008 07:04:19 AM
like "Chocolat covered pussy juice" or in this case "bugnuts", and then searches for a movie to review. Because eventually it doesn't matter what he reviews, but controversy in TB is very important. It keeps AICN alive. Fuck you, Harry.

I liked it! by OBSD	Mar 19th, 2008 07:31:47 AM
Just thought I'd give a dissenting opinion. I saw the $6.00 matinee of this on Saturday and I would say that I got at least $6.00 of entertainment out of it. I remember in the 80's when video stores were just starting out. It seemed as if the entire Action section of my local video store back then was filled with every Road Warrior rippoff ever made. And as a young lad of 13, I think I watched all of them one summer. Were they what one would consider "good"? Fuck, no. But they were entertaining, and I had a blast watching them. Doomsday seems, to me, like a combination of all of those riduclous movies mashed into one, then given a 30 Million dollar budget. It's great fun, stupid, but fun! And if after watching the trailer for this movie, you expect it to be anything but stupid fun, then please seek help. Of course it's derivitive, of course it's mindless. Did you really think that Neil Marshall said "I've got an idea that nobody has thought of before, ever, and it's going to make people think long and hard about man's cruelity to man." Of course not. He made a movie that was supposed to be dumb fun and just enough outside of the mainstream of stupid modern action movies (Jason Statham, I'm looking at you!) to feel like a different experience than you usually will find in your local gogolplex. Now if had seen it on a Saturday night and paid $12.00, I might not have enjoyed it as much, but it was $6.00 worth of fun.
No more flu reviews by maddox	Mar 19th, 2008 07:38:19 AM

"I’d fuck it – but I also want to put it in a shallow grave – so I can dig it back up and fuck it later." Where does this stuff even come from? And do I go see the movie or not? All I got from your review is:(1.)This movie is bugnuts (2.)You hate Bush (3.)Doomsday is like salsa, a corpse, and your room. What the hell are you talking about?!?

I don't get it! by PotSmokinAlien	Mar 19th, 2008 08:40:05 AM
how is this movie so unpopular on this site? I thought it was fucking amazing. It wasn't tongue-in-cheek-- it was funny. It threw you curves that made sense when you think about them (the knights, for example, were there for a reason and to make a point-- not because Marshall was like 'hey you know what would be hilarious now? Knights!') It gets you to expect an explosion and then does something else entirely. It uses models instead of CGI. It has the most creative violence this side of Nicotero. And most importantly, it is overflowing with the kind of exuberant filmmaking only someone who actually loves making movies can translate to the screen, which is pretty fucking rare these days. Don't listen to these shitheads... listen to this shithead and check it out.

Harry's Review Checklist by ArcadianDS	Mar 19th, 2008 09:42:55 AM
Disgusting Bodily Fluid Reference? CHECK Food reference? CHECK Deviant Sexual Reference for Shock Value? CHECK Made-Up descriptive word, oft repeated? CHECK (bugnuts = 4 times) Little to nothing about the movie itself? CHECK Attempt to channel Neil Cupmston? CHECK Not impressing a single other person? DOUBLE CHECK These reviews are why this site blows now. This kind of review might have been cool when Harry was a punk kid spying his way into closed sets and such, but as a grown, adult man - this kind of juvenile junk is just creepy. No wonder the industry is moving on to other sites. This one has too much of that 'creepy old man' vibe now. Best thing that could happen here is if Harry left it to Moriarty.

Whatever if you don't like this movie by Series7	Mar 19th, 2008 10:56:10 AM
You are a boring person. This movie was so funny and fun. Its just a fucking good man movie. Who cares of the plot makes sense? This movie wasn't made to make sense. Fucking this is the sort of movie that makes going to the movies fun. Fucking go, sneek in a few beers and have a blast. If you can't enjoy this sort of movie, thats well done, bat shit crazy, that hot british chick, seeing a dude punched in the face they you sir are not a man. PotSmokinAlien is 100% in what he says. And who cares if Harrys review is childish, his reviews are at least fun to read. It just shows he got the movie. That said between this and Rambo, 300 looks like a bitch, yet again 08 kicking 07s ass.
I can't believe I got pulled into seeing this. - It sucked. by JDanielP	Mar 19th, 2008 11:19:36 AM
And it was a huge disappointment after having seen Neil Marshall's DOG SOLDIERS and THE DESCENT. Personally, having witnessed his previous efforts, I saw something in Marshall's talent that reminded me of a young James Cameron. But I did not see ANY OF THAT TALENT in DOOMSDAY. It felt more like a flick that was rushed together without ANY forethought. It just felt like everyone showed up and the director was like, "Let's try this idea." Terrible movie. I'd give it half a star out of five. And to Neil Marshall, "What the hell were you thinking???"
Rip off by NoahTall	Mar 19th, 2008 11:19:55 AM
Ummmm... folks. The whole idea of the movie was to rip of classics of b movies and have fun with it. And that's exactly what he did. The movie was a blast. I particularly loved the one scene which was an exact duplicate of a scene from "The Warriors". Does anybody know which one?

"Dumb", "No Forethought"? Please, motherfuckers! by PotSmokinAlien	Mar 19th, 2008 11:47:23 AM
Series7: thanks brother man. glad somebody else saw the same movie i did. Everyone else: I'm gonna go one step further out on the limb i didn't even know i was on and say this movie, as well as being fucking amazing, is not dumb at all. It is the opposite of dumb. Pulling ideas out of your ass gives you a movie like Transformers, not like this. Doomsday has its source material, sure, but the punks and the knights are more than some random idea or an homage-- they show the two directions a society goes in when confronted with a real end-of-everything crisis. On the one hand you got total anarchy and chaos with Sol and the punks, on the other hand you got Luddite xenophobia and a return to conservative values with Dr Cain and the medieval enclave. But don't forget that Dr Cain and Sol are father and son; could it maybe possibly ya think be that the movie is suggesting these two philosophies are really two sides of the same coin? (Yes, is the answer) Now are those ideas taken to an over-the-top extreme and draped over a shitload of violence and action? You bet your fucking ass they are-- Marshall wants it to be a fun ride, after all. But to call it dumb is to betray yourself as dumb. If you gotta insist this thing is nothing more than an homage, well then it is as much an homage to the history and culture of the UK as it is an homage to Road Warrior. And for the record, I've never seen Marshall's previous 2 movies and i still dug the living shit out of this one.
FUN FILM! Noahtall by BranMakMorn	Mar 19th, 2008 11:51:14 AM
Enjoyed the hell outta this film. It's reminded me of those earlier issues of Heavy Metal magazine back when Corben, Druillet and Moebius worked on it. Much better Grindhouse film than Grindhouse! Noahtall, the homage to the Warriors was the chase scene with the Turnbull ACs.
Awesome last paragraph by Yeah I Wrote That	Mar 19th, 2008 12:02:11 PM
I don't get the cumpston comparison. He goes for the laugh at all (filthy) costs. Harry just really knows how to write about trashy film. If you didn't get a solid impression of what to expect from this film, you might be illiterate, or skipping every other word. That last paragraph was some brilliant writing. A perfect little metaphor that exists not just to sound clever, but to give potential audiences a real feel for what to expect.

Movie mashups are more entertaining then remakes by Reel American Hero	Mar 19th, 2008 12:04:20 PM
I'd rather pay my $ 8.50 to see a movie that's a little bit of this, and a little bit of that with a dash of whatever than a remake of an Asian horror movie or a movie that originally came out less then 20 years ago. Hollywood here's your next concept. Take a little bit of Ghostbusters cross it with Pulp Fiction add a little Evil Dead 2 and then stick that in a blender with The Breakfast Club. And get back to me.

Because Harry, at least with The fucking Outlaw VERN, you can tell if he liked a movie or not.

I realize that Neil Cumpston is not real and somewhat formulaic ... but you can call him not funny all you want ... that doesn't make his shit any less funnier. Well, his early stuff. Later NC is sort of like Fat Elvis ... kinda funny but a pale shadow of teh good stuff.

Enough with that crap by Dreamseller	Mar 19th, 2008 03:01:06 PM
Can't someone take this site away from Harry and give it to someone like Moriarty. Harrys Reviews are obviously useless and e isn't able to do interviews or go to set-visits because he is too fat. All he does is posting news that someone send him per email or other sites published days ago. END IT before its too late.
Harry, how did you ever get married? by Teddy Artery	Mar 19th, 2008 03:16:23 PM

Anyway, about the movie by Toonol	Mar 19th, 2008 03:30:28 PM
I thought it was good. More precisely, it was bad in really wonderful ways. However, my son (18) thought it was ridiculous. I think you should love this movie if you're a child of the 80s. If you came afterwards (or are a girl, of course), you'll hate it.
Friends... by Senator John McCain	Mar 19th, 2008 03:49:51 PM
I am not running for president to be somebody, but to serve our country with honor. I seek the office of the President of the United States because I am as confident today as I was when I first entered public life as a foot soldier in the Reagan Revolution that the principles of the Republican Party - our trust in the good sense and resourcefulness of free people - are always in America's best interests. I am convinced that every challenge I have confronted during my years of serving our country and its ideals, has made me better able to lead and ready to serve as president from day one. I realize this is going to be an extremely tough, hard-fought campaign, but I've faced and overcome great challenges before. That is why I am reaching out to you today to ask you to sign my 2008 Presidential Pledge of Support and make a campaign contribution of $50, $100, $500 or even the maximum allowable amount of $2,300 by following this link today. www.johnmccain.com As we have seen in recent years, elections are often fought within the margins of small differences. This one clearly will not be. The differences between our campaign and the Democrats could not be greater. And I intend to fight as hard as I can to ensure that our principles prevail. Today I hope you will join me in this fight by following this link to sign the Pledge of Support and make a campaign contribution of any amount you can afford - up to the legal limit of $2,300. I need to be able to reach out to all Americans, and continue to build our national grassroots campaign. It is no secret that both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have raised enormous, historic sums of money in their battle for the nomination. National liberal Democratic groups like MoveOn.org, the Democratic National Committee, and others are plotting to spend and do whatever it takes to bring my campaign down. With your support, I will have the resources to take my campaign to America's voters, present my vision for America and my accomplishments and outline how I will provide the leadership to solve our nation's most serious problems and move our country toward a safe and prosperous future for all. Please, sign my Pledge of Support today and make a generous contribution to help our campaign take my message to the American people. As I pursue the Office of the President of The United States, I make you this promise: I will always put America - her strength, her ideals, her future - before every other consideration. I hope you will respond soon. John McCain P.S. If you believe as I do that the differences between me and Senators Clinton and Obama are very real and very important, and that the stakes are indeed great, then I urge you to join me today. Because what we do to set the course and lay the foundation of this campaign beginning right now, will mean the difference between victory and defeat in November. Please, sign our Pledge of Support and make your contribution of $50, $100, $500, $1,000 or $2,300 today. Paid for by John McCain 2008 John McCain 2008 P.O.

'Bout Fuckin' Damn Time by SoylentMean	Mar 19th, 2008 04:05:30 PM
Seriously, I guess sickness is a reason to be slow on the uptake. Bugnuts is an apt description. The crowd I saw it with had a blast, I had a blast. I'd really like to see more movies like this make it to the big screen. What's that? Grindhouse failed at the box office? Well fuck... Because you all know that Neil Marshall's Doomsday is pretty much a Grindhouse style movie. I loved it in all it's non-sensical, ultra-violent madness.

8 Films To Die For by SoylentMean	Mar 19th, 2008 04:15:44 PM
I just watched Mulberry Street. It's pretty good, it never goes for anything cheap, and there are no laughs. It takes it's extremely silly premise and doesn't stray tonally from being as serious as the bubonic plague circa 1358, on steroids, punching all of Congress in the face. Also, none of the characters are safe( a tactic that worked very well for another film I love, Feast). Now I only have to watch the other 7 films...
The trailers clearly illustrate what this movie is about by smackfu	Mar 19th, 2008 04:27:31 PM
And does not pretend to be anything but an utterly retarded Mad Max throwback. So anyone walking into the theatre expecting anything other than a silly, absurd 80s nostalgia film only has themselves to blame.

I guess you need to be British... by Fist Dirtbox	Mar 19th, 2008 04:50:30 PM
The idea of walling off Scotland is a joke that people over here will latch onto on both sides of the border... Basically its one hell of a tip-off that this movie isn't taking itself at all seriously. Just as well as this is hardly a megabuck pic, $30mil is a decent budget for Marshall, but its piss-all for studio product.
She kinda looks South Asian by WickedMonster	Mar 19th, 2008 05:06:04 PM

If any of you saw this movie... by milla jovovich	Mar 19th, 2008 10:47:16 PM
and didn't like it without seeing a commercial or a trailer, then I forgive you for not liking it. But you retards who saw DOOMSDAY after seeing a trailer or commercial and were SURPRISED that you didn't like it are just that: BLISSFULLY RETARDED. You eat your own shit.
Liked this movie, even though it was a huge step down from Desce by TallBoy66	Mar 19th, 2008 10:59:34 PM
But Harry kind of nailed it. This movie is on crack. It keeps making these insane left turns in the plot every 15 minutes that makes a new movie every little while, so it was pretty entertaining, at least.
Drive-Ins still exist by Eyegore	Mar 20th, 2008 07:33:17 AM
Just look on the internet if you really want to know where. I drive up to an hour to see a good double feature at the drive-in. In your car you are free to smoke if you want, and can bring your own food. I just wish they'd get that regardless of what time the sun is -supposed- to be setting, don't start the friggin movie until it's dark outside. I hate missing the first half-hour of a dark movie like LXG.
uh, Lost Jarv by Stalkeye	Mar 20th, 2008 08:47:17 AM
Sure Tarantino ripped off other Movies for source material (Lady Snowblood=Kill Bill) but it's his dialog that shines.So to some degree he gets a pass. Doomsday looks too uninspired as it has way too many influences:EFNY,28 Days later,THe warriors and especially the Mad Max stuff.I'll wait till this shit comes out on DVD for rental.
Matrix was original by Stalkeye	Mar 20th, 2008 08:51:18 AM

I think you meant Spiderman 3 is better than typos. Regardless of what you meant, you're wrong.
This has gone on long enough by second cousin of phartegod	Mar 20th, 2008 10:57:22 AM
I really don't give a rat's ass what any of you think, but goddammit Spidey 3 is my homeboy. I would equate it to the Lost World; it was great when there was no dancing or crying on frame. Unfortunately, taking that into consideration, it only is about 45% great, but it's pretty irrelevant to really complain at this point. During its good moments, Spidey 3 actually resembled something masterful, while shitfests like FF4 and especially Batman & Robin maintained its stupidity throughout the entire two hours, leaving no semblances of good movie in their wake whatsoever.

DOOMSDAY was SHIT but I REALLY ENJOYED IT.....!! by bennozoid1	Mar 23rd, 2008 01:13:59 AM
Neil Marshall is not a great film director, but he's got just enough 'joi de morte' to pull DOOMSDAY off and make the audience leave the cinema chuckling....The dialogue is DREADFUL, the dramatic direction LEADEN, the costumes DERIVATIVE....etc etc, with lots more capital letters....BUT: somewhere along the line, i started to enjoy this movie....a total mess, and all kinda stapled together out of used parts, but with enough panache to convince you that Marshall had his tongue firmly ensconced in his cheek...see this film stoned or slightly drunk....see this film with friends who know ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK, BRONX WARRIORS, MAD MAX, NEW BARBARIANS.....see it on dvd....do whatever...jsut don't take it seriously...and feel slightly worried about the once-promising director of DOG SOLDIERS and THE DESCENT....where to now Neil?...tread carefully.....
