  • Wow Alex - liking the extra effort with the animation!!

  • Here's a rather crude review. Jonathan Ross is quaking in his expensive, multi-coloured, brogues. Sorry about the ending; my cameraman was drunk. Joe.H

  • Brilliant - very excited to see more potential reviewers!!

  • Get off your horse and drink your milk!!
    This is my review of the "3:10 To Yuma". Watch it alone or with companions the decision is yours. Absorb it into your mind cogs, then reject it and then love it like a brother from another mother!!

  • A review doesn't get more personal or 'at home' than a man chatting film while seemingly having a poo. I'm both slightly nauseous and informed.

  • Great horse acting - genius!

  • that bear/penis was staring at me like it could read my thoughts!!

    There were times in that review when I thought "pull the other one" MWHAHAHAAHAAA

    The review was very good but next time keep your pants on cowboy

  • I love films. This is my brief rant about best and worst films of 2007.
    300vsPOTC3
    I hated POTC3 so much that i find it really hard to write the entire name P irat es of... THe, cccarabe an 3... oh good lord I did it.
    2007 gifted us with loads of great films and some total stinkers. I only had a minute though.

    Brucecollective- "bullshitness" has just entered my vocabulary. I think you might actually be the only reviewer angrier than Mark Kermode!

    I love it - direct, to the point, informative and FUNNY.

    Brilliant point at 04.31 but an entertaining review all the way through, really...

  • BALLS!! This is my review of the movie "Balls of Fury". Let it paddle into your face and review for you like a canoe that needs the loo!! Loo? Does anyone even say that anymore...? "oh Just going to he loo" I dont think they do!! I feel sorry for people called louise who get shortened to LOO! It cant be easy basically being called a toilet all the time!! What if someone said "hey wheres your loo?" and you thought they meant your friend Louise but they meant the toilet, so you send them to your friend and then they do a piss on them!! Just imagine that it would be awful and that situation is just waiting to happen. Louise's head my warning!!

  • Hello! This is a review of I AM LEGEND. I know it's technically a 2008 film but I had to share my thoughts. I'll get on topic soon...
    bigrich
  • ok, here's one more review, this time just me infront of a camera telling you about one of films all time lows, no not pirates but "shoot'em up"
    alex_goddard
  • BigRich - a star is born! i think this is terrific! Insightful and witty this is great - what's so good about this is that you minimise plot description and really hone in on the details such as a weak script, poor CGI and all the things that individually make or break a film. or, the individuals that can make or break a film....
    Lina1980
  • Alex Goddard - this is your 3rd submission! I like the simple approach to this one - it's easier to engage with your review when you look straight down the camera, I think, and you make some damn good points - loving your work!

  • Here's a review of Mark Ronson's 'version', I'm posting this as I spotted somebody else also bending the rules!
    Also, my next post may be too glitzy and spangly for a review, so wanted to post this less flamboiyant example...
    Plus you could use the end section of this review as a workout...

  • ...so perhaps this is a tad too editted and stylised... but it is a televisual review! Flight of the Conchords... gone but not forgotten...
    MonkeyLover
  • MonkeyLover wins the weirdest upload award! Thanks for uploading these - they're certainly inventive but a little hard to see from these what your reviewing skills are like. Feel free to use the tracks from Mark Ronson's 'Versions' and have a go at reviewing the most and least successful tracks, perhaps?

  • May I present to you my dear colleague Rob. Worst Of 2007 - Pirates Of The Caribbean 3. Best Of 2007 - Eastern Promises
    SheridanPassell
  • Rob - I like this a lot- droll, witty and clever!! Sheridan - do you have more talented colleagues to grace the Lowdown?
    Lina1980
  • OK FOLKS THIS WEEKEND IS YOUR LAST CHANCE TO PUT YOURSELVES UP FOR THE PILOT...... DON'T WORRY TO MUCHY ABOUT BEING PERFECT, JUST GET YOURSELVES ON HERE SO I CAN SEE YOUR PRETTY FACES!!
    Lina1980
  • Certainly. This is Han. You'll have to see past the terrible lighting and awful sound. It's a temporary thing. Worst Of The Year - Ratatouille. Best Of The Year - Knocked Up
    SheridanPassell
  • And this is myself. Best Film Of 2007 - Zodiac.
    SheridanPassell
  • This is the alternate version 'Version' review as kinda requested! It's not my best but if you want real heart-felt opinions see my next post...
    MonkeyLover
  • After posting the first 2(!) reviews I realised what you're after... I hope so at least... here is my inner most geek released!! p.s. Do I win a second prize for most posts?!

    Hey guys, thanks for uploading - I think there's some real talent here and look forward to working with you soon. Just for fun, I wonder what the lowdown of this is going to look like... would have LOVED to be a fly on the wall when they were pitching this one.

    And is it just me or is that gynaecologist enjoying his job a leeeetle bit too much?
    Lina1980
  • http://www.apple.com/trailers/independent/meyouusforeve...
    And just one more... a film so bad even the trailer can't save it... this really has to be a joke. I can't get my head around it. I'm almost less confused by Teeth than this...

    The best bit is the smell the fart acting at the end - the camera pulls out slowly in what has to be the most pointless shot ever and the look on the actor's face seems to suggest he's just realise that his career in feature films is over before it's began...

  • Hi everyone... Some really fantastic material here... Good luck to all...

    Here is my contribution... I'm not sure if this is the kind of thing you're after for this, but I thought it would be a nice idea... An animated review of my favourite film of last year: Quentin Tarantino's 'Death Proof'...
