Re: What did you watch today?
Apologies for misreading it. But after seeing the http://www.dvdcompare.net/comparisons/f ... id=14921#8 specs, am still sad at the lack of the trivia track. We'll have to await caps-a-holic or Beaver hopefully adding it to their visual comparison.Samuel_Scott wrote:Leon...My comment was the Optimum release, not the 20th AE from Studio Canal
Oh, Early Doors is a series? Nothing available at the library unfortunately. Was it only 12eps (2x6), or are there more?

Just 12 episodes. 2 series of 6 episodes. We don't like to run things into the ground like our friends across the pond. Quit whilst you're ahead and forever be remembered I say.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Early-Doors-Ser ... lpoirev-21
£5.99 + £3.68 delivery to Australia, but they take 20% off the item price first for non-UK deliveries (no tax to pay) so £8.48 delivered. Not a bad price at all if you're into blind buys!

OR, leave us wanting more...: Spaced ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0187664 ) But Red Dwarf and As Time Goes By were "just right", in finishing without wanting more. Unfortunately I was miffed that Ballykissangel stopped as it did, with no satisfactory resolution. Oh well.Samuel_Scott wrote:Just 12 episodes. 2 series of 6 episodes.

A Good Day to Die Hard (TV)
Really really bad, that's a movie that shouldn't have been done, rather looks like a B movie 3/10

Lame dialog, really bad acting and so much action which literally blinds you. Impossible to watch...A Good Day to Die Hard (TV)

And if you order from here in Sweden they adds the 25% Swedish VAT instead of the UK one at checkout.Samuel_Scott wrote:Just 12 episodes. 2 series of 6 episodes. We don't like to run things into the ground like our friends across the pond. Quit whilst you're ahead and forever be remembered I say.

Shooting Bigfoot (iPlayer) - One of those documentaries that is amusing rather than informative. The people followed as they track down Bigfoot, are hilariously serious. 8/10
Hot Shots! (UK Blu) - Back when parodies were actually funny. 7/10
Episodes 1-4 of Boardwalk Empire: Season 1 (DVR)

Seen Troll Hunter several times. The UK Blu-ray really gives the LFE a nice workout.
I forgot to mention above that the transfer on Hot Shots is crapola. Soft as hell.

I'll also highly recommend Early Doors which fortunately unlike some British sitcoms ended on a high.Great characters & beautifully written.The two bone idle policemen are hilarious.

Blind Woman's Curse (UK Blu) - Good entry into this type of film, and the commentary was superb. Can't wait for the Stray Cat series to hit Blu-ray later in the year. 7/10
Sparks (UK Blu) - It's cheesy at times, but ambitious and uses the low budget well. Really good b-list cast including William Katt, Jake Busey and Ashley Bell. 7/10

Re: What did you watch today?
Your PM kept expectations low, but I must say I liked it. The humor and gore combo reminded me of "Tucker & Dale vs. Evil", not as good as it but very enjoyable still. Had I not won it I don`t know if I would of found it on my own ( I do watch low budget horror & horror/comedys from time to time). Thanks again for the January winSamuel_Scott wrote:What did you think of it?Sculder wrote:DeadHeads

Pit Stop (UK Blu) - More Jack Hill makes its way to Blu-ray. This is a cracking little film with a good ending, and plenty of driving action. 8/10
Hot Shots! Part Deux (UK Blu) - I completely forgot Rowan Atkinson was in this, so that was a great little surprise. Just as funny as the first. "I loved you in Wall Street". PQ is better than the first but still not great 7/10
Tremors (UK Blu) - Another guilty pleasure I love from Universal which hasn't been given the best of treatments. Quite a bit of edge enhancement here. The film is still great though, and I hope I will have time to watch 2-4 tomorrow. 8/10

FORCE: FIVE (first viewing, US dvd) - 6.5/10
Watching this again brought back my childhood memories. I've always liked films with a "men-on-a-mission" plot. The so-so KILL AND KILL AGAIN, the sleep-inducing JAGUAR LIVES! and this belong to the same league. The fight scenes of the actors (Joe Lewis, Richard Norton, Benny Urquidez) were pretty well-choreographed too.
