I've been searching for this one for a long time and when I finally found it, it left me with no disappointment! A huge collection of football bloopers; own goals, miskicks, clangers, all featured by fun commentaries of Rhod Gilbert. Scenes from older matches, like from the 90s, 80s, and even 70s just add more entertainment showing there haven been cock-ups in football throughout its history. What's also great about it is that they showed not only English league bloopers (althought it mostly contains of British matches) - there are also those from World Cups, European Championships, Dutch League and matches from European Cups. It's a must-see for every football fan!

Day of the Wacko
(2002)
Best Polish movie ever!
12 October 2006
"Day of Wacko" is in my opinion the best ever Polish movie. And I'm surely NOT exaggerating. Non-Poles who are not interested in or have no idea about Polish culture and realities will probably not get half of the film, but I still recommend it to anyone who's open minded.
This is a story about a well-educated and intelligent teacher in his middle-ages, who can't stand stupidity, ignorance, his neighbours, and generally everyone and everything around him. If you've seen "Falling Down" (1993) with Michael Douglas, which is by the way another film I'd recommend, you'll get the point. However, no plagiarism was used here. The main character hates himself as well, mainly for the lack of inspiration in writing and still being dependant on his mother. The whole movie is presented within the monologues he has in his head, in many cases dirty ones. And by that I mean many vulgarisms, which at some point may get repelling. Although containing some comic parts, this film is depressing, especially if you think about the man's tragedy, because his life can be called like that. If you try to understand his situation, see why he's frustrated, and why there are so many negative feelings in him, you'll probably reach the point in which you'll feel down. There are many Polish stereotypes, system faults, and absurd presented and in some way laughed out. But then again, you have a depressing feeling of not being able to do anything about it. I really recommend watching this movie to anyone, especially to those who have some mixed feelings about the world. If it's possible, try to talk to any Polish person around, so he/she would explain some of the things that may be typical for Polish society and not common at all in other cultures. I just hope the English translation of this film is good...
General note: 10/10 and I really mean it.

Repulsion
(1965)
Too slow...
8 October 2006
I can't really understand why this film gets such high notes. I've seen it and I can't say I enjoyed it. First of all, the whole movie is too slow. It has some suspense and moments of tension, but most of the time the action is very slow and thus boring from time to time. Not that in my opinion only films with fast actions can be scary. Maybe I've seen too many Hollywood productions from XX & XXI centuries and therefore couldn't feel the atmosphere of a black&white film, but the point is, I love horror/mystery movies and I've watched MANY better ones. Undoubtedly, "Repulsion" was a great movie in the 60s and 70s, but I was bored. The idea though is great. A psychic woman imaging walls cracking in her apartment and having nightmares based on being rape that after some time turned into fantasies and freaking out because of the loneliness. If the film was not so slow, it would have been a masterpiece. General note: 5/10.
