Ratings on a scale of * to *****:

1: Sunshine (2007) *****
2: 28 Days Later... (2002) ***½
3: Trainspotting (1996) ***
4: The Beach (2000) **
5: A Life Less Ordinary (1997) *

Own 1

It's hard to believe that the same guy behind a cinematic abortion like A Life Less Ordinary is also responsible for the beauty and brilliance of Sunshine.

Two horrible films, and that's way too kind to Trainspotting. Blech.
