The Dumbies - Film Nominations
This years film awards include the return of an old hero and a bleak vision of future Britain.
Superman Returns started out well, became a bit boring as it dragged on, but still took loads of money. Meanwhile Children Of Men was a thoroughly bleak, disturbing and not very enjoyable vision of a dystopian Britain. It was the sort of film that had critics rushing to denounce it as SF ("Future fantasy" anyone?), and the sort of film in which you realise its brilliance the more you think about it.
Once again the judges didn't get out to the cinema very often. Notable exclusions are V For Vendetta, X-Men: The Last Stand and The Prestige, which despite being the most anticipated film of the year, still hasn't been seen by the judges.
