Got Dracula from amazon and picked up Full Metal Jacket on blu from HMV. Watching Dracula now, it looks and sounds amazing, the blood is very red!

I get paid in 7 days, so thought I would order a few discs. For some reason I thought there were a lot of releases in April that I had pre-ordered, but it doesn't seem to be the case, so I ordered these (and no teasing about the last one!) :lol:

A good,educational tool.
It pays to prepare for such events in one's life.:laugh:

I watched at the weekend;

GRABBERS-Well worth a punt.

THE TALL MAN-Far better than I expected.

THE DEVIL RIDES OUT-What else can I say? Classic.

A few arrivals today, really not buying too much at the moment, unless there is a really good deal. I would have said Romeo + Juliet was a guilty pleasure but having watched it again recently I've been reminded that it isn't in fact a guilty pleasure just a spectacular film. Strictly Ballroom is one of my favourite films so I had to get it especially as it had gone cheap. For the record I HATE Moulin Rouge.

I like Romeo + Juliet too. I often get strange looks or giggles when I mention that I enjoy it so I guess that would qualify as guilty pleasure.:noidea:

I think when it came out, because Leonardo Dicaprio was the go to pretty boy actor, even though he had done serious films, it was just seen as something for the teen girls. I do think people that haven't seen it judge it wrongly, I know my partner completely thought it would be something really different, he basically watches anything I suggest/never has an opinion on what to watch and he was super impressed. It's a really punchy film, visually it is stunning.

I thought I would mention I was a teen girl when it came out and I saw it in the cinema, I used to go to the cinema all the time back then. I went with quite a few girls to see it, possibly 4 or 5, we might have seemed slightly insensitive laughing at the end, this was mainly down to another girl in the cinema whaling and screaming "Oh Leo" when he died, but, the whole point of this story is I just remember it being big with teen girls because of Dicaprio. I think most people still see it as a film for girls. Whenever I watch it I hear that girl though.

Haha, I watched it with my older, teenage sister when it first came out...she was watching for Leo of course. Like you said, I think people should go back and give it another chance. It's not perfect but it is highly enjoyable. That damn Cardigans song is now stuck in my head.:tongue1:
