Don't Be Curious!
I was curious to see if it was really that bad. Damn I really need to stop being so curious! While it probably isn't the worst film ever made, it surely is one of the worst zombie ones.
At time it just seems like really bad music video. The flashes of scenes from the video game really don't help. Especially as this is meant to be a prequel of the games?
I gave this a rating of 2/10. The only reason it has a 2 not a 1 is for Jurgen Prochnow. He has some great comedic moments. Well great for this film!

Not having seen the original I wasnt sure what to expect here and only seeing this within the last few weeks has persuaded me to take another look at westerns.
Although a little muddled in places which could be deliberate as the good guy is considered to be bad and the bad guy played by Russel Crowe shows the briefest elements of good considering he kills incriminately at the opening of the movie.
The plot is also quite improbable at times however this is smoothed over by great moments of tension and action.
It's a good movie but not a great one, but entertaining enough for me to revisit the genre.

Not too bad
I remember reading horrible histories when i was in school, i have never watched the tv series though so wasn't sure what to expect. At first i thought it was incredibly cheesy, it was like watching a pantomime. But like being at a pantomime i eventually got into the storyline and found the songs catchy, there was a few famous faces including kim cattrall and warwick davies.
It wasn't too bad a film but i feel it could have been so much better aimed at adults rather than family.

This movie... This whole plot... I don't even know what to say or where to begin. It's just bad. I like Matthew Goode, I've seen him in other things that are great and Amy Adams obviously is incredible, their chemistry was great. It's just... bad! The entire storyline of Anna going to Ireland to propose to Jeremy and falling for Declan along the way - it's just played out. Some of the characters and the journey itself were just tiresome and overplayed. I think it's a fine movie to watch to pass time, but not one that will ever be praised for being anything but a miss.

Not AHS but watchable.
Contains spoilers, click to show
So it wasn't American Horror Story, but it was still in the ballpark. Grusome, gory and glorious. Where AHS was at times, scary or possibly jumpy, Ratched was more, do I feel bad for these deranged orphans or not? The answer is. No. You don't. She's a psychopath who seems to gets off on pain but disguises it as health care, and he is a literal killer, who despite his good looks, is the devil incarnate. This is by no means a bad thing. I actually really enjoyed it. Especially the backstories and seeing the different illnesses be 'cured. Very good, would recommend to fans of AHS.

Bad Day
Falling Down- is a excellent drama. It has suspense, thrills and mystery. Micheal Douglas is excellent in this.
The plot: A middle-aged man dealing with both unemployment and divorce, William Foster (Michael Douglas) is having a bad day. When his car breaks down on a Los Angeles highway, he leaves his vehicle and begins a trek across the city to attend his daughter's birthday party. As he makes his way through the urban landscape, William's frustration and bitterness become more evident, resulting in violent encounters with various people, including a vengeful gang and a dutiful veteran cop (Robert Duvall).
Its a excellent film and recordmend watching it.

Had read alot of mixed reviews for this movie but was open to giving it a try.First of all this is the weakest of all the DC movies so far for me (yes I even preferred suicide squad to this)
It had its moments and the humour at times was ok but there was alot that let this movie down.Mark Strong's bad guy was truly awful and was about as menacing as a chocolate teapot,zachary levi looked uncomfortable at times as shazam and as for the seven deadly sins gargoyles..just plain awful and hokey looking.
