Huh. I guess Resident Evil was out this year after all. I'd tack it into third place on my list of favorite movies this year. That's how bad a year it's been for films.

Of course, I don't live in a big metropolitan area, so I see most truly good films on DVD on down the line...

After reading this list, I'm even more proud of the fact that I didn't go and see Attack of the eyebleeding Clones. Seriously, what were you all thinking? Just about everyone I know who saw that film went into with that "well, it's almost certainly going to be shit, but..." mentality, and guess what they said afterwards? Tsk.

This is why I also note down which films I've seen in my diary (and not because I'm complusive or anything, the doctor agrees with me, so there).

So in order of seen:

The Fellowship of the Ring
From Hell
Ocean's 11
Blade 2
Collatel Damage (worst film of the year by a mile)
Attack of the Clones (x2)
Spiderman
Minority Report
The sum of all fears (2nd worst film of the year)
xXx
Die Another Day

Not a bad list as I try to see a movie once a month (it's on my CV, I have to) and only a couple that I wish I hadn't seen. Still when you've got mates who love action movies and their driving what can you do.

Lack of babysitter = no cinema. Lack of sit-still-ability = only 5 or 6 vids sat still through, so you'll forgive me for mentioning ones wthat came out knacking ages ago:

Attack of the Clones - anyone who's seen it who doesn't think it was worth watching for the last 30 minutes or so should just rip their flipping eyes out now and donate them to someone who'll appreciate them. It's worth seeing, in fact, just for the bit where Christopher Lee, zooming along on his space-moped, gives his two escort ships a little two-finger hand signal. There's a hint of Larry Grayson about it; there's a whiff of 'oh, suit yerselves', or an old lady doing that thing where they lick their finger and 'tab one up' against you. F*cking lovely.

Ice Age - squirrel sections = Tex Avery levels of wit and timing

Spawn - as you might have guessed I can find something to enjoy in just about any film, I'm not fussy, me, but I had to admit defeat with this one. The worst film ever made.

"Spawn... The worst film ever made. " -Saveloy

YES. Thank you. So very, very, very putrid and no redeeming qualities whatsoever. God, I hate that movie.

And thank you for giving me a reason to vent about it yet again...
