Oh wow a 15?!! Yeah, that's a surprise. That horrible masturbation sequence in the visitor room between Kidman and Cusack was the peak of the uncomfortable viewing I think! Not one to watch with the folks . . .

It's no different to the rest of The Asylum's output in terms of concept or execution so I find it odd thats its garnered as much attention as it has. It's not big, clever or so bad that its good. It's just arch, knowing, poorly made and unbearably dull.

Completely and utterly agree with this statement; I can't believe people are begging me to watch this. :P Can't stand The Asylum personally.

I'm guessing its not about a kid riding round on his bike with a baseball cap on backwards, delivering papers?

It seems the BBFC only give films in 18 certificate if they contain very strong violence and language or sexualised violence.

Someone mentioned I Am Omega on here earlier. That is one poor film from The Asylum. Really poor.

That would be me, I actually liked it and found it a better film than I am legend.

I'd say there's all of the above in it tbh lol!

Not a film, but I finished Breaking Bad season two last night and I'm well and truly hooked. Onto season three this evening!

'I am Legend' started well for the first half hour then totally screwed it up with the creatures, too CGI. (and nothing at all like the novel, which is brilliant)
Saw a little of 'I am Omega' but didn't think much of it. But i can't really judge it until i watch the full film.
'The Omega man' is good , but 'The Last man on earth' with Vincent Price is in my opinion the best version of this story on film.

Watched Cloud Atlas recently. At close to three hours long this film really did struggle to hold my attention. Good performances all around make up and effects and such were all outstanding but with six seperate storylines taking place in six different time lines and literally dozens of characters I found it hard to actually care about any of them. Which for a film of this scale and length I think was essential. Still well worth giving a go and I intend to give it another viewing soon to try and take it all in.

Last night I finally managed to watch my Castle Freak blu. First time I'd seen it and I thought it was a great little film. Don't know how this got past me when it came out. Not a bad disc too, not watched The Evil Clergyman yet.
