Bulworth 0 (Princess Lotti)

Gothika 1 (Alex, Cody Collins)

The Flintstones 1 (Richie, Chez Wombat)

X-Men: Days of Future Past 2 (Josh, Iz, Jonjo)

 

Now here is another fairly open question, I simply asked for a Halle Berry movie, You all named a correct movie from her filmography. Pointless go to movies such as Bond Movie, 'Die Another Day'Critically panned movie 'Movie 43', 90's movies 'Losing Isaiah' and 'Strictly Business' among others. However not everyone was so lucky, Cody and Alex both go for 'Gothika', Richie and Chez Yabba Dabba Don't get a pointless for 'The Flintstones' and 2 points go to Josh, Iz and Jonjo for the 2014 X-men Movie 'X-Men: Days Of Future Past'.

Nicole Kidman 0 (Jade)

Peter Finch 0 (Alex) (Loophole)

Heath Ledger 1 (Regina, Chez Wombat)

Russell Crowe 1 (Richie, Cody Collins) (Loophole)

Geoffrey Rush 2 (SamJudd, Jahq, Jonjo)

Cate Blanchett 3 (Ultraviolence1989, Josh, Iz, Dobbo)

Dione Beebe Incorrect (Jimmy Jam) – Australian but is a cinematographer so cinematography award only won.

Naomi Watts Incorrect (Princess Lotti) – Dubbed as British actress but even if so no Oscar awards won.

On the other hand we have a more closed question :lol:. Only two pointless answers this time. Jade goes for 'The Hours' Oscar Winner Nicole Kidman who won the award in 2002. Peter finch is a loophole in the fact he is technically half Aussie due to his parents being Australian and him being born in the UK. Russell Crowe is similar as he was born in New Zealand but since lived in Australia he identifies himself as a Australian. Geoffrey Rush and Cate Blanchett also sadly not pointless.

 

First two incorrect answers. Dione beebe is a cineamatographer NOT a actor! Naomi Watts was born in England but if she was Aussie still would have been wrong as she has won no Oscars only nominations for 2003's The Grams and 2012's The Impossible.

One Missed Call 2 (Josh, Chez Wombat, Cody Collins)

Birdemic – Incorrect (Dobbo) Massive shock to find out this has 20% on RT :lol:

The Host - Incorrect (Alex) – May have confused with 2013 film that scored 8% there was a 2007 but that has 92% score on RT.

White Chicks - Incorrect (Richie) – Scores 15% on Rotten Tomatoes

 

A bunch of Pointless answers this time. Awful movies such as Basic Instinct, RollerBall and The Number 23 all are awarded to be a pointless Answer :cheer:. Cody, Chez and Josh all go for the American remake of the Japanese film which scored a big fat 0% on RT :lol:

 

Birdemic aka that movie with the eggs being hatched on that guys chest that Jimmy Jam meantioned a couple of contests ago suprsingsly got 20% on RT. There may have been confusion as there was a 2013 film that scored 8% in 2013 but the different 2007 movie scored 92% on RT. White Chicks scored 15% on RT too. So all wrong.
