#156: The Life and Death of Peter Sellers [2004]

Geoffrey Rush does a really good Peter Sellers. And the film looked really intellegint and interresting. I wanted to like it. I think I should have liked it. But I was bored, bored bored. I’ll give it a few extra points.

Title:	The Life and Death of Peter Sellers
Director:	Stephen Hopkins
Score:	7/10
Guilt level:	Moderate.

Look at that cool camera!

#155: The Colour of Magic Pt II [2005]

So why isn’t it called The Light Fantastic?

Title:	The Colour of Magic
Director:	Vadim Jean
Score:	3
Verdict:	Poor, but not offensively so.

#154: The Colour of Magic Pt I [2005]

Discworld enters the small screen disguised as Jack Frost and Sam Gamgee. Not very good. Not very good at all.

#153: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory [2005]

One of the worst dubjobs ever.

Title:	Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Director:	Tim Burton
Score:	142/142
Chocolate:	Chocolicious

#152: Robocop [2014]

Title:	Robocop
Director:	José Padilha
Score:	1/6
Only non-annoing detail:	ED209’s missing animal noises.

#151: Robocop [1987]

Wow! I’m stunned! I’ve seen Robocop before, but I felt certain it was going to be a horrible rewatch. But it’s great! The acting’s great, the effects are great, the costumes are GREAT (well, the costume). I’ll stop there, before it gets embarrassing, but, wow, great!
