These are from aint-it-cool.com, a pretty reliable site on what's good and what isn't.
See what you think and, I'm sad to say I'm not suprised:
"It tosses plot at us in ungraceful chunks and just lays there, inert, like we're watching someone play a game for us with a cheat guide open and steering them through. There's no tension. Everything is just handed to Lara, and we're never once engaged, because we never once actually know what the hell is happening.
Why is Noah Taylor in this film? Why is Chris Barrie in this film? Why does Iain Glenn give such an incredibly painful performance as the bad guy in this film?Where is the sense of fun?
TOMB RAIDER is neither the end of modern cinema nor the guilt-free pleasure machine that lifelong mammary fan Roger Ebert paints it as. It is a lifeless movie from a truly horrible commercial filmmaker. It is a misstep in the starring career of a promising lead actress. And it's a major setback for two producers who have a great slate of material. I hope this ends up being an expensive lesson that spurs everyone involved to do better things in the future."
"This film is ugly, boring and uninspired.
In a single shot, they manage to defecate not only upon the beauty of Angkor Watt, but in a blink…. They voided upon Venice…. In a single transition they made both places look like total logs.
The plotline was overly convoluted and badly told onscreen. There are random left turns that are not surprising, just boring. There is no sexuality in this movie… Plenty of alleged chest, but no titillation.
The lights are never on in TOMB RAIDER… except to over light all the sets and make them look cheap and fake…. People should be imprisoned for making Angkor Watt look pedestrian and ugly. One of mankind’s greatest achievements and it looks like crap here…. How do you do that? Is there a class in film school somewhere that teaches one how to make beauty plain? Does it come before or after the class on making sure to WINK at the camera every 3 minutes?
Do not waste a dime on this! "

There you go kids, another Mummy Returns special effect laden t**d.

Oh.
For a "good" incest movie, if you can use that word for any movie about that subject is
Spanking The Monkey.
Top title and top film.
Kid looks after his mum all summer because she breaks her leg. You can guess the rest.
He then made The Three Kings.
Go figure

Blow, Say It Isn't So, Evolution and Dracula 2001 to see

Blow is fantastic, a bit like Goodfellas mixed with Traffic.
Evolution looks like another big, stupid summer movie that doesn't take itself seriously, I want to watch that.
Dracula 2001 has Johnny Lee Miller in and I find him annoying.
Say it isn't so?
What's that then?

And proud of it mate.
A video collection of over 400.
My hobby.
I'm the Barry Norman of my mates, quite sad really when they phone you and say "We're off to see (insert film here), any good?"
