I really had a great time watching this film. It is a lot of fun. I had never heard of it before and it was a pleasant surprise.

Bruce Campbell playes Elvis in an old age home. Ossie Davies thinks he is JFK and the two team up to do battle.

This is kind of a B-Movie horror/comedy film but also depicts aspects of sorrow and regret. It also deals with old age and lonliness.

Watch it I think you lot would enjoy this!

October 2005??!! Glad I don't have to wait, as I've ordered it from play then!

The delay of this almost annoys me as much as much as the delay of Hellboy until september, because of Euro 2004! Bloody football!

Such a shit movie. Almost fell asleep watching it. And yes, I got the point of the whole plot and stuff... still shit.

My advice ? Don't waste your time.

I enjoyed it a lot. I loved the mummy writing graffati on the toilet walls in heiroglyphs

Can someone explain to me why they are delaying HellBoy because of the football. Do they think noone goes to the cinema when the football's on or something?

I think that's pretty much it, that and they didn't want it competing with the other 'blockbusters' like Troy (absolute pants movie), Harry Potty (all distributed by WB I think, along with hellboy), or Spiderman2.

Whereas I'll probably go to the cinemas more when the footy's on, as i'm not a fan at all!

All I know is that it was released in the US in March/April, and they delayed it coming out here until september, football is the only 'excuse' I can think of. Obviously they also thought that they could save money by re-using the US prints over here, which is probably a bonus as far as they are concerned!

Who knows it may even be out on dvd before we get it!

This release date shenanigans is a bugbear of mine!
