YES!

There are various diffrent versions of it though.
The one i saw was in German and about 3 1/2 hours long.

What you don't want is the short version dubbed into english.

Without a Paddle - ok for £3

******* Number 2 - some parts were top drawer. Seem to be going more down the Dirty Sanchez route.

The Specials - CD & DVD - The Best of The Specials. Top Band . what have liked to see more tracks on the DVD but what was on there was good.

No.. I definately don't want the dubbed version- but I think that's the one that's in the video store. I'll check out Netflix. They seem to have a good variety of films and I don't mind reading subtitles.

Thanks, wolfie!

Latest 3.

1, Charade.
Hepburn & Grant, what a great film and full of twists.

2. Wild Wild West.
For a film that everyone says is awful i thought it was really inventive. It was great seeing all the gadgets.

3. 30 Days of Night.
This is a mixture of so many movies it's hard to keep track of them.
Great Vampires in it though.

Cloverfield

AVP Requiem

No Reservations

1. Cloverfield

2. AVP Requiem

Degenerate? I only have to say this-Jackson, Jackson, Jackson. And we have watched two out of the three Indiana Jones movies too.

FURBY FUZZBALL!!!

3:10 to Umar - For a re-make I really enjoyed this. note to self - Rent the original to compare.

Invasion - A totally unsecesary re-make. Note to self - Rent ther original as a treat.

Across the Universe - I didn't really know what to expect with this. But I LOVED it. It is imaginative and uses the Beatles songs creatively to propel the plot - Note to self - But It! it will be good company for The Wall & Tommy

Sweeny todd (tried again still couldn't finish it, the story about people being baked into pies has been done(but without the horrible singing) and I was waiting for todd to break out his scissor hands..

The Last supper (with Diaz, Gish) was decent ..

Latest three.

1. The Proposition

Australian film, very good but brutal, not for the faint hearted. Has a great cameo from John Hurt.

2. Erin Brockovitch.

Julia Roberts fighting to get justice for people who had their health destroyed by a big company dumping waste in the water. Well worth seeing this one.

3. The Woodsman.

Very intense film about a child molester being released from prison and trying to get back to a normal life. Kevin Bacon stars and does very well in a role that he was very brave to take on.

1. Drunken Master

Jackie Chan great kung fu flick if you dont mind the dubbing.

2.Reign of Fire

Not a bad film but slow in places,the Dragon bits are good.

3.The Golden Compass

Really enjoyed this,great story,cant wait for the 2nd film.

1. The Big Lebowski. Ok

2. Spiral. I guess this comes under the "thriller" category. It's a story about a guy and a girl. It starts of really weird but then becomes more of a film about a free spirited girl and a weird guy. You don't really know what's going on until the very end of the film. Overall it was pretty good.

3. Enchanted. Pretty good, something I wouldn't mind watching again.

Laura

30 Days Of Night - Much better than the comic I thought. The comic had a great premise that wasn't executed well.

The Adventures Of Robin Hood Season 1 - I've never seen this series before but Wal-mart had it for $7.50 so I had to try it. I've only seen the first disc but so far I've really enjoyed it.

Jason Of Star Command - Some things are better left in the past.

Latest 4.

1. The Descent

Superb caving horror film, should be seen immediatly.

2. X-Men 3.

There is some great stuff in this but i was surprised by how short it was.

3. Aliens - special edition.

This film is still superb after all these years.

4. Pans Labarynth.

I can't make my mind up about this. It is not quite what i was expecting to see. I think i was expecting Dark Crystal and wound up watching a film about the war in Spain.

Oh the Descent was awesome, right good film

KADRAN00157

How does the British version of The Descent end? I've heard that it was different than the American release.

OMG! That's out on DVD? I must find it! lol

My last 3 dvd's watched:

Halloween 2: It had been years since I've seen it. Pretty good, but the whole time I kept thinking about how this movie is just an hour and a half extension of the climax of the first movie.

Jack OF All Trades the complete series: One of Bruce Campbell's finest performances. Vern Troyer (Mini-me) plays Napoleon in a brilliant casting move.

Weiss-O-Rama 6 Hour Comedy Collection: This is a collection of 1920's comedy shorts by the Weiss studios. I really enjoyed the Ben Turpin and Snub Pollard shorts which led off the set, but the set quickly went down hill after those.

30 Rock: Season One
I still really miss Arrested Development but this will fill the void as much as something can.

Strange Wilderness
If you like stoner humor you might laugh two or three times. I laughed once. Close to dreadful.

Drawn Together: Season Three
It's South Park meets Family Guy meets The Real World by way of 80's nostalgia. So why is the show so lame?
