My Bloody Valentine (1981) Bluray. Decent little slasher film. Saw it in theaters a few years back, and thought I'd check it out.

You saw the original a few years back or the remake and then bought the original?

I saw the original in theaters a few years ago.

I bought E.T for my Fiance's daughter. At first she was scared of the "monster" (she is 3 and a half) but now she is obsessed!!!!!
It was screened at my local cinema recently, the FACT in Liverpool. She loved it even more on the big screen!

More great stuff from Shout Factory. Really pleased with this upgrade. Great to finally have nice widescreen transfers of The Big Dollhouse, and The Big Birdcage...Women In Cages is just an added bonus. I can trade in my pan and scan uk discs now.



The Seven Samurai and The Magnificent Seven (more the latter) go all intergalactic in this long overdue release of Corman's classic Star Wars knock off. Hurray for Battle Beyond The Stars.

Get the Amadeus Blu Ray then - It's a total stunner.

Me?



Because it's Senna, innit?



If the quality is as good as I'm hoping then my next stop will be to snap up the Whiskey Galore! and Kind Hearts and Coronets Blu Rays.

I picked up Blue Valentine to own because both Michelle Williams and Ryan Gosling make a perfect on screen pair and make this movie very easy to watch.

Easy to watch? Perfect couple??? :/

Jumping The Broom

A breath of fresh air in a genre otherwise dominated by played-out Tyler Perry films. Acting and script alike make this film the gem that it is. It's a comedy, so you can assume happy ending, but there are a few great little twists in the plot that make the film much more interesting, and allow it to effectively avoid cliche status.

Angela Bassett & Loretta Devine, two of my fav actresses in Hollywood, were both outstanding.

Bought the Clint Eastwood: American Icon Collection. I got it mainly because it had Play Misty For Me on it, which is one of my all time favorites, but it also has Coogan's Bluff, The Beguiled, and The Eiger Sanction. Haven't seen the last two, but Coogan's Bluff is a great movie. And at just 20 bucks it was a steal.

I got the Stewart/Tennant version of Hamlet because it's awesome, and I'd watched the copy I had out from Netflix six times.

And I got Casanova because of the cast and it's not available elsewhere that I'd looked.

Review: Cabin in the Woods 8/10

It was Blue Valentine with Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams. Saw it in the theater and it sort of reminded me of The Notebook. Actually it was directed by the same guy.

Finally picked up the Super DVD today. Disappointed the special features on the Region 2 version are kinda sucky but I'm glad to own it, at last.
