The Relic

One of the taglines is "a mind is a terrible thing to waste....especially if you're really hungry"

That, combined with the storyline of a monster created from a hormonal fungus found on leaves in S. America, made this a must see movie for me so thanks for picking it Chump.

It's an entertaining film which, even though it has a higher body count than a Tarantino film, is fun and exciting to watch! It even has some comedy thrown in......like the superstitious cop who tells people to walk round a dead body cause it's bad luck to walk over it

But the pathologist Dr Zwiezic has some of the best lines......when examining a brain she says "something's wrong - this brain is light....even for a man"

and a funny line about heads too

Like Chump said, some of the film is silly......like the dogs who don't pick up the dead bodies scent and the scene when they're being pursued by the monster in the dark tunnel and they're told to keep quiet by the cop before entering the tunnel.........then another cop leading them keeps shouting out "Are you ok at the back?" and "keep in line"......no wonder the monster knew where they were.

The sfx were good......especially the fire scenes at the end - very exciting! I was at a carboot at the weekend and bought the video for 50p so I didn't have to remember to record it......and I'm glad I bought it because I enjoyed the movie!

Chump - I'd never heard of a Director doing the Cinematography too so I had a look around........it seems Steven Soderbergh does both like he did on Oceans 11,12,13, Traffic and The Good German etc but he uses the name Peter Andrews as his Cinematography name........so maybe it's not as unusual as we thought?

Another great review Cat

Your one sounds like a feminist ....NOOOoooooooo!!

I love the way you can get these vids and stuff for little or nothing .... It also looks like I will be last again to add my review

Yep I like the American Pie flicks too but I haven't seen the last two ..in fact I never even heard of Band Camp
