Entertainment Editor (1988 KP) created a video about Bad Move in TV

Bad Move | Brand New Comedy | ITV

Steve (Jack Dee) and as his wife Nicky (Kerry Godliman) are both on their second marriages and have decided that moving to the countryside from the city is the answer to all their dreams. Unfortunately it's not what it's cracked up to be.

  
Boy, was that violent - if this was a movie, it would probably be given an '18' (or 'R'estricted, for those Americans out there) rating, not just for the blood, guts and gore, but also for the - occassional - nudity, and the not-so-occassional language.

Actually a collection of 5 different short stories, I can't say how true to history these are as I'm not a Norse scholar. I also found the vernacular a bit off-putting (were swear-words the same in the early Medieval Period as they are now? Really??), with the art-style (and plot) in some of the stories were better than in others. Talking of stories, this contains the following:

[b]Lindisfarne[/b]: depicting an early Viking raid on the monastery of the same name
[b]The Shield Maidens[/b]: in which three Viking women hold off hordes of the Saxons
[b]Sven the Returned[/b]: in which Sven returns to his homeland to claim his inheritance, having previously run away and joined the Byzantine Varangian Guard
[b]Thor's daughter[/b]: in which a clan leader is murdered and his land sold to a rival leader but his 14 year old daughter takes up his mantle and leads an army against the encroaching Vikings
[b]The Cross & The Hammer[/b]: Set in Ireland, this is more-or-less a murder mystery in which the central character is trying to track down the person(s) responsible for a spate of killings.

Ross (33 KP) rated Tremors (1990) in Movies

Tremors (1990)
Tremors (1990)
1990 | Comedy, Horror
small cast of good characters, nice location, some great scenes (0 more)
the sequels (0 more)
classics never die, unlike graboids
I first saw this via those discs you get when you used to first buy a DVD player, a handful of B movies and this hidden gem, this film convinced me to give B movies a second chance, Tremors is made up of a small cast of good actors, it takes place in the middle of a desert in a nowhere town, two guys going about their business until something starts killing people, what follows is B movie gold, well worth a watch.

An even lower budget sequel to the cult original. Very poor acting and dialogue but the worst part is the ropey CGI effects! If you like cheesey B movie horrors that turn out to be quite funny you might enjoy this, similar to Frankenfish, Crocodile.
