Problem: Write a negative movie review.

Answer: One of Boris Karloff's real clinkers. Essentially the dying Karloff (looking about 120 years older than he was)is a scientist in need of cash to finish his experiments before he dies. Moving from Morocco where his funding is taken over by someone else he goes to the South of France where he works a s physician while trying to scrap enough money to prove his theories. Desperate for money he makes a deal with the young rich wife of a cotton baron who is dying. She will fund him if he helps her poison the husband so she can take his money and carry on with a gigolo (who I think is married). If you think I got that from watching the movie you're wrong, I had to read what other people posted to figure out happened. Why? because this movie had me lost from two minutes in.I had no idea what was going on with its numerous characters and multiple converging plot lines. Little is spelled out and much isn't said until towards the end by which time I really didn't care. Its a dull mess of interest purely for Karloff's performance which is rather odd at times. To be honest this is the only time I've ever seen him venture into Bela Lugosi bizarre territory. Its not every scene but a few and makes me wonder how much they hung out.

Problem: Write a positive movie review.

Answer: Well, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. It was funny and sad and yes, the guy Andie MacDowell shagged was hot. Interesting, realistic characters and plots as well as beautiful scenery. I think my Mum would like it. I still think they should have been allowed to call it the Sad F**kers Club though...

Problem: Write a negative movie review.

Answer: Gods, I haven't watched a movie this awful in a long while. Maybe not since 'The New Guy' or various Freddie Prinze Jr. movies. Yes, it is that astoundingly awful. Mira Sorvino's blank and wooden acting surely must've been inspired by Freddie. The movie staging was awkward (like a play, rather, and that feeling of confinement does NOT work well on film). The actors had no idea what they were doing, especially Sorvino. Her accent was awful and her sex appeal non-existent here so it was painful to see her 'seducing' other characters and they 'falling' for it. And what was with the occaisional shots of a live audience in lawn chairs? Nonsensical! I had to turn the dvd player off, it would have been self-inflicted pain to finish this film.

Problem: Write a negative movie review.

Answer:
A question for you : A family go to a new house and get stalked by demonic forces . Which film am I talking about ? Every horror film you've seen ? Yes that's true but that's not the answer I'm looking for . I'll narrow it down by saying there's a lot of teen angst scenes . Doesn't help ? Well there's lots of bits where the characters are stalked by a creature and you see the characters through the creature's POV . No futher forward ? Okay there's a dream sequence involving lots of blood ? Could still be any horror film you say . Oh gawd this could take weeks so I'll say the film I'm talking about features loads of Aussies many of whom have appeared in NEIGHBOURS and HOME AND AWAY . Yes that's right the film is THE THIRD CIRCLE ( aka CUBBYHOUSE ) and do you understand what the above exercise is about ? It's about me pointing out how THE THIRD CIRCLE is absolutely no different from any horror film that's been made
