Page 1 of Blind Purchases - any stinkers?

Ever purchased a film purely on the trailer/Cover sleeve then to find it`s a piece of stinky donkey crap?

Regrets, I`ve had a few...

15 Minutes
Changing Lanes
Cradle `2` the Grave

not a great list, I know. I`ve sold the others at boot fairs...

============================
I ate what?


My Collection

The Four Feathers (2002) - dull with dodgy accents



"The vast majority of Iraqis want to live in a peaceful, free world...
and we will find these people, and we will bring them to justice" - George W. Bush

Beyond The Reef: Shark Boy Of Bora Bora

Versus
Battlefield Baseball
The Last Starfighter
Ghost Ship
Cabin Fever
Barbarella
Twins Effect (Bronze Edition)

Going to put them up for trade anytime soon, along with an unplayed Apocalypse Now R1 (original) which I have twice.

And if you survive till 2005, I hope you`re exceedingly thin, For if you are stout you will have to breathe out, While the people around you breathe in.

I watched that the other night. I didn`t think it was too bad. I did get a shock when i saw who co-wrote it.... :/

If you want a bad submarine film, try K19: The Widowmaker. Pee-euh! That was a blind, deaf and dumb purchase. Luckily, i swapped it with the demented Russian next door, for a packet of jelly babies and some skittles.

Not to mention other purchases i blame on a sudden bout of HMV induced over excitement;

The Mothman Prophecies
The Mummy Returns
Behind Enemy Lines
Bandits

If you`re planning on going to a festival this year, take note;

* Pack waterproof clothing, and a change of footwear.

* Don`t take more money than you absolutely need.

* Stay OUT of Mr T`s TENT, and don`t EVEN think about EMPTYING the remains of YOUR packed lunch IN there.

Donnie Darko - Biggest pile of crap since Event Horizon! Could`nt understand any of it.
It really is a mad,mad world :)

Just cause you couldn`t understand it doesn`t make it bad ;), DD is a brilliant movie, never watch filsm like Lost Heighway or Memento if you couldn`t understand DD ;)

Versus is also a brilliant film, and Mothman Prophocies was *ok*, tho I`d never own it on DVD.

All the dvd`s I buy I normally watch beforehand, so most of them are ones I like and ones I buy without buying have turned out fine, no stinkers really

My top 20 subtitled films!

We Were Soldiers - has a couple of smart sequences with the helicopters, but overall was a bit pish.

The Village........a big fat yawn from start to finish :o ,getting sleeping now just thinking of it :/ .......
