Page 1 of Who has tried to watch one of those films and switched off in the first few mins!!!!

You all know what i am talking about, It is one of those nights when there is nothing on T.V. to watch and you glance at your bulging DVD colection and say "I DONT KNOW WHAT TO WATCH". And so you put on your shoes and take a trot down to your local rental store and once you are inside you come across a collection you either know or you have no idea at all. :/
You finally pick the film you sort of fancy watching(BUT UNESURE OF ITS WRITE UPS) And read the reverse of the cover and find it had numerous praises from both the US and the UK press. :)
You get home take off your shoes, insert film, crack open a beer and sit down..... The next thing you relise is this looks like a pile of sh*t, But you give the film a chance and five minutes later it is still unapealling. >:(
You think to yourself what a complete waste of my Fu*!ing time and money......Name some of those wasted moments....

EXORCIST 2-THE HERETIC...The only film I have ever walked out of @ the cinema!

Cat in the Hat,(Mike Myers) enough said!!

Ste.

Vertical Limit...

In the trailers that I saw it and the reviews it sounded good.....watched maybe an hour of it and me and the gf looked at each other with that `is it me or is this film crap` look and took it back to blockbusters ...granted it lasted more than a few minutes but it I was willing to give it the benifit of the doubt...but then decided enough was enough >:(

Ah the wonders of DVD as opposed to VHS.
Wizz through to all the punch ups skip the wooden acting and finish the movie in the space of an Ad break.
