4.45 CH 5 THE POSTMAN

First class

for me, it delivers

Two years after the controversial Waterworld, Kevin Costner involved himself in another post-apocalyptic film. This time, it was an adaptation of the novel by David Brin. Like Waterworld, it was widely panned by critics but was even more of a financial failure - the $80 million film made only $18 million at the North American box office.[58] Siskel & Ebert gave The Postman "Two Thumbs Down", with Siskel calling it "Dances with Myself" (in reference to Costner's Oscar-winning film Dances With Wolves) while referring to the ending sequence where a bronze statue of The Postman is unveiled.[59] James Berardinelli of Reelviews called the film "dumb and riddled with gaping holes of logic, and the dialogue sounds like it was penned by a hack writer."[60] The film is ranked at 10% on Rotten Tomatoes.[61] The Postman took home five Razzies for Worst Picture, Worst Actor, Worst Director, Worst Screenplay and Worst Original Song for its entire film score. It won an award for every category in which it was nominated - the first (and only) time this has occurred in Razzie history

well worth a watch

wont go to post..nap

its been canceled due to strike action, not sure when it will be shown again :(

For private eyes only

I think it is watchable. I never watched Kevin Costner films because they were always slated by the critics. However, due to a recommendation, I watched Waterworld and was pleasantly surprised, as was the boyfriend at the time. It was different and definitely watchable. Because of this I watched Postman and again me and the boyfriend liked it.

I mention the boyfriend at the time as you might think it is only liked by women.

Maybe his films do not show well cooped up in a cinema but on the small screen at home it is perfectly okay.
