I think I was a bigger fan of Gervais before I listened to this podcast (and subsequently watched the various Karl Pilkington TV shows). I loved The Office, and some of his films. Some of his stand-up was funny. But here (as with the Pilkington shows) he just shows a nasty bitterness and bullying towards people that is not really entertaining. The best of the podcast is how Karl Pilkington reacts to it, but even then we know he is funny without that happening. This has really put me off Gervais quite a lot and I now see him as a "silly little fat man" who is just a spiteful bully.

Where is the beaver?

Cute

I watched the original film countless times as a kid and I was looking forward to this. It still is a great family movie. It is still over quant and charming (but thats what i loved) which sometimes is nice to watch and just sped some time feeling the world is nice.

However is there enough difference to make it a stand alone triumph? Well not really and this is why it has the lower score, plus the beaver is missing. How could they lose the beaver? If you haven't seen the original then bump that up to an 8.

The rock (0 more)

A heady laugh

What to say about this? Not as polished as the first? Definitely not. Not as funny? No. However it's a good enough shot at the ever difficult sequel. The rock does a stand up job of being an old geezer. And the rest of the cast play their roles well however it just doesn't have the same... punch as the first (second) Jumanji film. It does show that, at the moment, the Rock can do very little wrong, apart from the horrendous San Andreas. But that's a different story.

Give this film a watch, knowing it's not as good but no where near as bad as it could have been

Plain looking killer (0 more)

Rather bland 80's Slasher

Well thought I'd give this old early 80's Slasher a go. Most slasher films of the time are very similar to this. Plain stalk and slash stuff. There is quite a lot of character build up for a change though. It has a couple of scenes that stand out and a couple of attempts at humour more in line with Slasher films of the 90's. Sadly though the killer is rather dull and without any real motive it seems. The scariest thing about him is his hair cut.
One for those who enjoy 80's Slasher films, even if they are quite bad.
