I watched "The Beach" on channel 4 last night. I have never seen it but always remembered its negative reception, which has probably stopped me from ever watching it. The only thing that ever kept it in my memory was the All Saints video for Pure Shores was always on the music channel back in 2000.

Anyway, it's by no means a masterpiece or one of the best of all time but it wasn't as bad as many made it out to be. It was decent enough, good acting, good plot which a lot of newer films lack. It made me really want to go backpacking up until the shark attack.
And was surprised to see Tilda Swinton in it assaulting a very young looking DiCaprio. lol
Bizarre but entertaining.
