Call Of The Wild
The Grey is out this week, a film about a group of men being hunted by wolves after a plane crash strands them in the wilderness. It's being billed as 'Jaws with claws' and set me thinking about all the other creatures that have preyed on us humans in the movies.

Great Performance, Shame About The Film
gives a fantastic performance in Madonna's 'W.E' - unfortunately the film is one of the worst I've ever seen.
This got me wondering about other examples of great acting in terrible movies.
