I gave it a 6 or 7 out of 10. I enjoyed it a lot, great summer actioner.

I agree Broons, it's a whole lotta fun! Can't wait for the Blu!

I recently picked up Brit psychological horror Exam and thought it was absolutely brilliant and it looks superb on Blu-ray. Well worth a look, very smart and intelligent. More Brit films of this calibre, please!

Also grabbed the UK BD of Zombie's Halloween II. Whilst not a masterpiece, I thought it was definitely a step up from the previous film. I just wish Zombie would focus less on trailer trash characters and create something more full-bodied and varied. Not everyone is like the people in his films. I felt that this and the previous film were too much like the Devil's Rejects does Halloween. It's time he spread his wings further and did something new. So, not a bad film overall, but offers up nothing new, really.

And, as you all know, I won the Bubba Ho-Tep Blu-ray and it's a cracker of a disc. I love the film anyway - the dialogue is priceless and Coscarelli pulls the whole thing off flawlessly. The icing on the cake is, of course, seeing it in HD. Now will someone PLEASE give Don some money to make another Phantasm movie - he really needs to answer some crucial questions and Angus Scrimm ain't getting any younger!

@ The Reaper Man: Be prepared to be shocked some more...

Which German Blu-ray edition do you have? Is there a red box on the disc saying "FSK ab 18" ... if so, the first part is missing about 2 minutes of violence. There is also the "ungeprüfte und indizierte" (Unrated) version which is uncut. But giving that the PQ of especially the first one is terrible anyways, that wouldn't save a whole lot.

Read some reviews and it sounds like my kind of film. Anyone here seen it?
