I wish to repeat my comment from the last superman movie.

Title:	Bamse and the Thief City
Director:	Christian Ryltenius
Score:	10990/10990
Dad thinks:	meh.

OK, o among the problems with The Bridge on the River Kwai are:

1. The real one isn’t wood, but steel and concrete.
2. It wasn’t one bridge, but two.
3. The two bridges weren’t over the river Kwai, but over the river Mae Klong

The film is still better, though. 
 

Title:	The True Story of The Bridge on the River Kwai
Director:	David Devris
Score:	1/2.

Saturday night is family movie night.

And then I thought, “Hang on?  Here’s this bunch of Altman movies I havent seen…”

But now I’m not so sure anymore…

Title:	That Cold Day in the Park

So I wanted to see MASH again.

Mad Max meets Short Circuit meets spaghetti westerns for the new millenium.  Why does everybody hate it?  It’s fine!

Title:	Young Ones

Water:	It’s the water of life.

Well that was fun.  Lots of vomiting, good ending, even a little boobage.  Plusses all around.

Title:	Taxidermia
Director:	György Pálfi
Score:	5/6
Priceless moment:	The cock-pecker-pecking incident.

I’m sorry, I wasn’t paying attention.  I think it was like a black-and-white version of The Blob?

Title:	Quatermass II
Director:	Val Guest
Score:	3/6
Bonus:	I’m giving it an extra point in case it’s my fault..

Not the worst waste of time I’ve ever had.

Disturbing. And sexy.
