Alexander Walker is dead. Could the makers of this idiocy have taken advantage of that fact?

As you've probably gathered, the only reason any hard earned pennies found thier way into Blockbusters till is the pull of a good review from The Don himself.

Picture the scene: Jaded office worker trudges into video store searching for that most elusive of beasts....an enjoyable, thought provoking piece of cinematography (and I'm not talking Forrest Gump here!). Imagine the look of delight which suffuses his face when he espies a comment from The Greatest Film Reviewer Ever, the late, much lamented Alexander Walker. This comment, prominent on the boxcover says " A rare thing indeed, an intelligent and thought provoking film".

The jaded office worker huuries through the transaction, glides home and after preparing the ritual accompaniaments (Coca -Cola and tinned Ravioli) settles down to be entertained and provoked. Not bad for less than a fiver!

A-ha I hear you cry. A-ha indeed. Banal, ill concieved drivel is a polite decription of this piece of excreta.

So, did the film makers take advantage of Alexander Walkers death with a piece of judicious self promotion. Sadly we will never know for sure if it wasn't just senile dementia that cheated our unlucky hero.
