The Storm [De Storm] (TV)
Dutch flooding movie, a bit different from what we usually see, and really touching, I liked it - 7/10.

Trance (French Blu)
Danny Boyle is really a virtuoso (even if I find Slumdog to be much overrated), able to succeed in many genres. This "twisted" labyrinth-movie is no exception - 8/10

over the past few nights i have seen the excellent ALIEN films on UK blu ray
my fave is ALIENS
and shame the extended cut of ALIEN 3 has a few audio probs - you can't hear actors speaking at times unlike on the theatrical version :(
i still say ALIEN 3 and ALEN RESURRECTION are underated

Nanoha Magical Girl Movie #2 (Japanese Blu-ray, friend's disc)
Following of the previous magical girls japanimation movie... again I'm too old for really enjoying this, but I must admit that if you like that genre, it can't probably get any better. The first movie already ran 2h10mn, but this one is even longer at 2h30mn - 7/10.

Alex Cross (TV)
Average action/thriller flick - 5/10

Rewatched Django Unchained, haven't seen it since it was in theaters and finally checked out my Blu-ray copy, love this movie, Tarantino's best and such an entertaining ride.

Yeah, a very racist flick. Sometimes you don't understand whether he's serious or not.
