Anaconda!

The snake failed to kill her off within the first thirty seconds if you ask me.

Unless that's her own personal version, ahem, I don't recall Anaconda being good :oops:

Yes. The Cell is actually v.good.

Is the wink sarcastic?

Going by imdb he was the cinematographer on Unleashed - which was very well made - and is easily one of Jet Li's best ever movies (not to mention the awesome soundtrack). He also played a lead technical role on Joan of Arc (which I really enjoy) and Taxi 2, which, along with directing both The Transporter & District 13* makes for quite a pedigree in my book. But then I could simply be defending the fact I own them all.

*which only got worse in their subsequent sequels, as French-made action goes, they easily out-trump anything Hollywood have output of late.

I couldn't be arsed with The Cell :oops:

Sorry, the wink was due to the fact I'd slated all the other films... Unleashed I've seen, thought it was a good curio, but that was kinda it. Of the rest you've mentioned, I've only seen Transporter, again a good curio

I vaguely remember the previous Film Night presenter, Barry Norman slating the film.

Tbf, Baz didn't like many modern films :lol:

, though it wouldn't be hard to see how you'd get disillusioned as time went on (look at Hollywood's output today) :oops:

Re: Hollywood remaking film flops

Yes but many modern films are crap. With the exception of Desperately Seeking Susan, madonna has not made a decent film, yet she still gets into them. And she is not the only one.
