Haha, to be fair it's one of those films where if I see it on ITV2 late one night I usually stay until the end of it, for all its faults. I'd never do that for the Nightmare on Elm Street of Friday 13th remakes

When this came out the Electrical company I worked for were doing all electrics for the new Virgin Cinemas around the country so we'd have our lunch in one of the screens while watching a film. At first I couldn't believe I wasn't watching a colourises version of Hitch's masterpiece, but it grew on me and I now rather like it.
For the record, I also watched the Exorcist every day for a week(sometimes twice a day), Small Soldiers, Saving Private Ryan and a Star Trek film that I can't remember the title of, which incidentally sent me to sleep, might've been Generations
