Well, that was one of the several responses that came off a search on the www.wimdu.co.uk, for an accommodation for short time rentals in Berlin. Now Berlin is not a city for the faint-hearted, or rather faint pocketed would be a better word. Finding such an accommodation at these rates seems almost impossible.

The film tells the story of a seventeen-year-old Chinese boy called Guei who moves from the countryside to Beijing where he is hired by a courier company. The company provides its workers with brand new bicycles that they have to pay off within the first few months. A few days before Guei pays his final rate he is robbed of his precious bicycle.

He therefore loses his job but the company's manager assures him that he might get it back if he only finds his bicycle. He eventually recognizes the stolen good thanks to a labeling he has carved into the frame. It is revealed that the bicycle was stolen by a high school boy by the name of Jian who claims to have bought it on a market for trendy road bikes. After a big argument the two boys decide on sharing the bike on alternate days. In the end however the bike is destroyed by a gang of boys who want to take revenge on Jian for having put up a fight with their leader. The closing scene shows Guei carrying away his battered bike.

The director uses the bicycle as a symbol for social injustice in China and as a means to criticize the highly complicated Chinese jurisdiction. The ban on the film was eventually lifted in 2004 after a few modifications including one on the title.

The film reached great critical acclaim and was praised for its presentation of modern China.

Therefore, the UK film critic offers ambitious texts helping you to find the needle in the haystack of international film releases. Our site contains articles, links, retrospectives and reviews of cinema releases. Not only will you find articles about the most recent films but also reviews of old established film classics and retrospectives: 12 angry men, Citizen Cane or Casablanca are only a handful of those classic films that will be under the uk critic review.

After all, our site will offer you a full review of both major film releases and independent productions. We will report on the most popular film festivals and award ceremonies such as the Oscars or the Golden Globes. As a conclusion, we asses the slogan of the uk critic: some voices say that it is impossible to judge a great film but we surely think it is possible.

Note: Our site is still in progress! New Posts will be updated monthly until one of us lost his job!

Two movies were contenders for being the third worst movie ever but this one narrowly beat Mariah Carrey’s ‘Glitter’. Notorious for being racially insensitive and beyond crude, ‘Norbit’ is an Eddie Murphy film which sees Murphy playing a hen-pecked husband of a monstrous and abusive wife (also played by Murphy). This film has been seen as generally offensive to anyone unfortunate enough to watch it.

The second worst movie is again another attempt at humor that just didn’t make the grade. An offering from Mike Myers that is “downright anti-funny” (New York Times). When he can’t be funny, Myers immediately resorts to the rude, lewd and crude and even gets that wrong -this film is unoriginal, racist and sexist all at the same time.

It may seem hard to beat these two but even so, there is a winner for the Worst Movie Ever award and that goes to…’Battlefield Earth’. There is only one reason that scientologist John Travolta ever agreed to make this and that was because it was based on a book written by Scientology founder Ron L. Hubbard. In it he is a 9ft, dreadlocked alien with a rather thick side-kick (Forest Whittaker) who are intent on invading the earth. The costumes alone should have warned him off.
