If you're a fan of Christian Campbell's body, you'll probably enjoy this movie.
Woo hoo! I knew there was a reason I was eagerly anticipating this thing.
To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

The Guardian Unlimited has a fun piece about best and worst accent mimicking.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Huh. Marsters gets the nod over Denisof?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
What's Winona Ryder doing on that list?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Dick Van Dyke below Marlon Brando & Keanu?
Maybe the latter accents are worse, but walk up to a random Brit and say "Dick Van Dyke!". 9 times out of 10, they'll groan, "Oh, that horrible accent in Mary Poppins" (seriously -- I've experimented). The same doesn't happen with Marlon or Keanu.

I wondered about Dick Van Dyke -- given that his name seems to be synonymous with a bad faux-Cockney accent.

Spike is the one people may have heard of - bear in mind that Angel was never shown properly on terrestrial TV here.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Might that also explain Dick Van Dyke's reputation?
Brando and Reeves have both done quite a few films, and I'm sure they're known in the UK for work other than the bad accents.
OTOH, Dick Van Dyke is mainly known (even in the U.S.) for the TV show and MP. If the show didn't make the crossing, he doesn't have much else to be known for.

OK, two movies where he played English characters. And IIRC, he didn't exactly have a good accent in CCBB, either.
