Has anyone mentioned The Grey?
And The Grey which was uttely pants in too many ways to mention.
I'll make a comparison with Hot Fuzz.. It's a similar type of film (daft - British - set in a sepia chocolate box village)

Well.... Feeling the need to justify myself... it was a bit like Jasper said, you think oh god as it starts, then after 1/2 hour it was alright... Gemma Artherton (sp?) provided some occasional visual highlights, and as it progressed it reminded me more of a play.. Again an alright one. The plot was predictable, the characters over exaggerated, but well acted - and like an Ealing comedy it was all jolly good fun...I'll make a comparison with Hot Fuzz.. It's a similar type of film (daft - British - set in a sepia chocolate box village) but (thankfully) without Simon Peg ET al.. (I liked Shaun of the dead btw.,,)..

Only Jasper reads my posts I said The Grey was shit and The Guard was excellent on the last page.
But you only mentioned how shit it was in very brief terms, and considering actually how shit it is, I think you really should've put more effort into it. It was so shit that, if you're going to write a review, you should really have made at least five hyperbolic comments about how terribly terribly shit it was to really grab our attention. Otherwise people like me don't notice and then we end up watching it too, and that doesn't do anyone any favours.
guy martin is one of those friendly likable types of blokes,
Quoteguy martin is one of those friendly likable types of blokes,Must admit he came across a bit of a weapon whilst restoring that barge on tv 'by eck, shall we ave a brew boy/ boss/ chief' etc etc, though I didn't realise he was a wad on a bike. Having said that he bears more than a passing resemblance to Turnip, so I can see the appeal for you.
