24 hours in London - Porcupine (20/11/2002 6:47:33 PM)

Browsing through my video store's DVD section, seen nearly everything worth seeing as far as I know, but I spot this one which has a recommendation on the cover by "Spy Magazine". Well, if Spy Magazine recommend it, then it has to be good.

I did not know then that Spy Magazine is run from some autistic kid's treehouse for the sole purpose of getting poor saps to pay good money to rent DVDs that aren't worthy to be spat upon.

Written and directed by Alexander Finbow. This guy has no talent. Seriously. His writing skills would have peaked at the age of seven. He starts his movie with an urban myth of a girl drugging a guy and leaving him in his bath tub without a kidney. It's all down hill from there, and it was one hell of a small hill to start with.

What follows is some of the most stupid dialog and contrived scenes I have ever witnessed.

Let me state for the records that I don't mind bad movies. I often go out of my way to watch specifically bad stuff for my amusement. However, I have to be in the mood, and I have to know they are bad to start off with. Unfortunately I was expecting a decent flick, given the Spy Magazine (grrr) recommendation on the cover.

None of us watched it to the end, pretty much 20 minutes was about all we could take. We vented our frustrations by playing one of the most angry and violent sessions ever of Unreal Tournament 2003.

I checked IMDB user ratings for this movie, and noted that Mr Finbow had visited it about 30 times to vote 10 for his movie. That or the sick fekkers from Spy Magazine.

I wrote on the cover of the video store's DVD "Possibly the worst movie ever made" as a warning to other potential renters.

My mission in life now is to find the treehouse headquarters of Spy Magazine and get medieval on their hides. I also will not allow anything to do with Mr Finbow in my house again.

Porcupine sums it up. I concur. It was painful enough to sit down and watch the 20mins that I did of this movie. I wouldn't like to be the editor who sanctioned such a reccomendation but whoever you are, you are lucky that I don't know where you live and I hope you can't sleep at night.
