Back in Business (2007)
What do you get when you mix an Eastender, a Minder and Red Dwarfer...? A mindless red faced Eastender!
Difficult where to start with this pig of a movie.... although it hasn't beaten the title of worse British movie ever (which I still believe 'Sex Lives of the Potato Men' will hold forever) it has little to recommend it.
I caught it on a movie channel, and was interested only because Chris Barrie was in it. As a huge Red Dwarf fan, I look forward to see the actors in that appear in other things. He shone in the Tomb Raider movies as the groovy butler Hilary, so when I sat down to watch this film I expected great things.
I certainly set myself up for a big fall. It comes to something that the only funny bits are the end credit bloopers.
It just looked like cheap tat, and I thought the British Film industry had left this sort of weak stuff behind (see previous comment about the Potato Men) but this just lets old Blighty down.
If any non Brit comes across this in the bargain bin or on a cable channel, don't judge us too harshly, we didn't know.... we are innocent.
We need more Sexy Beasts and Lock Stocks and less of this insipid stuff.

Black Christmas (2006)
Halloween Regurgitated
I just couldn't help thinking, very bad Hallowe'en clone, the stock storyline, bunch of girls trapped in a sorority house, a Michael Myers type disturbed killer with a bit of psycho thrown in. You didn't care about the victims and almost rooted for the killer, as the girls screamed a lot, ran around, tripped over things, (why do they always do that?) and deciding to go and investigate noises in the attic.
They have a chance to leave, but one of the number says so originally, "We should stick together", the police on hearing there's been murder and that two other girls are missing, don't feel its worthy enough to be classed as an emergency and will be there at the earliest in 2 hours?
Some of the plot lines seem superfluous, I mean what was the point of the home porn film on the net?
If you want real scare, get out the original Hallowe'en, or even the original Black Christmas.
Just lazy film-making... for heavens sake, avoid it. You'll thanks me.
