Stonehenge Apocalypse (2010)
Gloriously bad
This is such a bad movie it is truly splendid. From the bad English accents on the part of the lesser speaking roles - my who knew so many South Africans were serving in the British Army? - to the totally daft depiction of of Stonehenge itself with regard to the number of stones, their locations, access and location on one of the maps towards the end it is simply a fabulously bad film. I recommend you gather friends, get popcorn and maybe some beer etc. and then have a contest to see the biggest plot holes, nutty omissions and abysmal script. I won't blame the actors, they did the very best they could with the words they were given. I hope their contracts included counselling as they realised their careers were pretty much dead after this and a new avenue was the only way forward. Re: Stonehenge the errors, when I was little anyone could just walk up to Stonehenge and see it, touch it. But that has not been the case for decades. Now you park across the main road, walk over and look at it from a distance. Unless you are a Druid and even then only at the summer solstice. There is no thick long grass around it where the hero can hide.
Love it, love it, love it. So bad it deserves an Oscar.
The 19th Wife (2010)
follow up to reviews complaining about location/hairstyles
Just a follow up to some of the other reviews. Location: there is a sect here in Canada and as others have said, the location/surroundings are incidental to the plot. The sect in Canada has been the subject of repeated investigations and even prosecutions, not to mention a coup. Hairstyles: the stylist got it spot on, that is exactly how the wives are required to wear their hair. The clothing was also correct. I am guessing the reviewers complaining about the hairstyles are not familiar with this religion. Where I live there are other religions that also have similar dress requirements though they are not polygamous, Amish, Mennonite.
The Castle (1997)
Lovely movie, please don't miss it.
It's quirky, it's funny, it has so many wonderful one liners that I can't even begin to quote. It is a testament to love, family and neighbourly trust and friendship, and is downright funny to boot. Ah I need more lines of text... OK well I thought the film is super brill....... The acting is actually understated even though it seems like it is over the top, it's not. It's just plain old good and funny. The little touches are fabulous. The actors all add wonderful facial expressions and in a world where we are increasingly divided along ethnic, cultural, religious and class lines this film shows clearly that the real enemy if actually corporate greed. OK...... now is that enough lines? :o)
