Surely that honour goes to the magnificent Speed Racer.

I've never actually seen that! However, it's not a film that grabs me in a way where I'm aching to sit down and give it a go either...

Whether it is due to its goofiness, migraine-inducing colours and extraordinary design, or just because of the predictability and dialogue, I thought it was cool beans!

In my review of the BD, this was my conclusion:

I actively avoided this at the cinema as I thought I’d hate it and, although Speed Racer isn’t a perfect film and there are plenty of flaws, I found it to be great fun and the visuals are stunning – my retinas are still in recovery – certainly not deserving of all the negative reviews. This was an opportunity to push the boat out and produce a disc that would show what Blu-ray is all about but the paltry extras package and average audio setup is a real let down. It’s worth watching simply for the jaw-dropping visuals and, like me, you may even find you like it.

I saw it a few years ago, I thought it was a ton of fun! Only thing I didn't like, was that kid and it's monkey... Remove those and I'd have no complaints.

My Zavvi Sale stuff arrived so i will share my latest pick ups and a few oldies that i saved for now.

I got The new twilight zone set for £10, The Film Four set (because i want Touching the Void) for £6 and the Ghost stories for Xmas set was around £21 (Zavvi had it for £17 but i missed out) anyway that was a nice set to pick up.

Also the Hobbit extended second film tin edition and finally i thought i'd pimp Fetch publicity and Cult labs and share my latest competition winnings to encourage some of you to join in on the competitions more.

A Signed nightmare on elm street blu ray set, a creature from the black lagoon special edition also a long time ago i won a special Frankenstein's Army figure but my camera was crap - i took a new photo - i won it a while back but i love it.
