Zombie Women of Satan (2009)
Just missing out on being a "britt new age classic"
Unfortunately with a couple of actor changes (Vic Reeves and Ant spring to mind) this sorry excuse could easily be marketed as the next big British comedy. Luckily the roles which were obviously scripted for known names were turned down and the film sunk into it's own unique level of comedy horror.
It's a mile away from funny - but unfortunately really close to what the UK channels show as "experimental comedy" - I honestly can't believe this wasn't funded by channel4 or the lottery.
That said I'd watch another horror comedy directed/written by the same guys - this is really close to watch-able in places (but please for the love of god don't pay to see this in any way).
Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper (2004)
Musical - you sure???
Until this year the Barbie movies could have been seen as both a blessing and a curse for parents of young girls. A blessing as it nearly guarantees 90 minutes peace and quiet during the holiday season. A curse because if the girls in question have a younger brother you may be subjected to that bone chilling phrase of "I wanna watch Barbie" from your "little soldier".
This year the movie has moved into 100% curse. The film is no worse. The animation is no worse (or better for survivors of the first two). There still is NOTHING to make an adult even contemplate watching the film. So why the change???
This year is Barbie's first musical - in it she plays two parts (POSSIBLE SPOILER she plays the princess and the pauper - honestly who would have guessed! SPOILERS END).
For some unknown, unfathomable and probably budget induced reason the two Barbie voices CANNOT sing in harmony together. They sound dreadful, your 90 minutes peace and quiet have turned into waiting for the next song which sounds like somebody dragging their fingernails down a blackboard.
This honestly is the worst film I have been subjected too since my girls grandpa gave them a copy of Pippy Longstocking.
Just buy the toy it'll save you the nagging and the headaches.
