Maniac Cop:pop2:
Little Fockers...While fun, I didn't enjoy it as much as the previous two.

Fair Game (1986)
Jessica lives a peaceful life at her ranch in the australian countryside but it doesn't take long before three psychopathic poachers starts terrorising her. This action packed flick was a real treat and delivers some really bad behaviour, kangoroos, car chases, breasts and revenge which will not make any fan of ozploitation disappointed.

A little off topic here but...

Is The Muppet Christmas Carol any good?

I understand the UK release is missing a song, so does that ruin the film?

A US copy is never going to arrive in time, so the moment will have gone.

I was thinking of picking it up to watch early Christmas Eve before i go out.

Some quick reviews of HK films I recently watched...before I forget about it. ;)
Warning:trailers contain spoilers!

Deadly Camp (1999)
This could possibly have been a good Cat III horror/thriller but it needed some more effort,a bigger budget and some more shocks imho...
As it is,it's ok-ish like The Demon's Baby (1998).

The Ghost Snatchers (1986)
Fun horror comedy with lots of WTF moments. :)

The Ghost Snatchers (Original HK Trailer) - YouTube

Yes, Madam! aka Police Assassins (1985)
Lots of superb action but also lots of comedy...everything gels though and creates a very good action drama.

Dragon Inn aka New Dragon Gate Inn (1992)
Excellent action/suspense-packed Eastern with the lovely Brigitte Lin and Maggie Cheung,recommended! :thumb:

Naked Poison (2000)
The Cat III film that restored my faith in post-boom HK films. ;)
Good script with lots of surprises and not for the easily offended!
I may need to get more from this director...
Available for less than $5 at DDDhouse...get it!

Just seen The Skin I Live In..this was a very good but weird flick!
I can see why some people would find it controversial.
I did not read too much into it so did not know the twist so it did shock me when it was revealed.
It is a slow movie but worth it!

It's the muppets, of course its good! This and Muppet Treasure Island are easily my favs - definetly get the UK release, Demdike. Sure, it's a shame the songs missing, but it's still brilliant.

as a huge fan of The Muppets, in my eyes it's the best film they've done, as for the missing song, if you can get the first release, the full frame version then that has the inclusion of the missing song, The special edition does have that song removed but is in widescreen. In all honesty the song adds absolutely nothing to the film which was why it was removed at the request of Brian Henson. But obviously if you want a complete version the one below is the one to get....

it is indeed brilliant Kyle, infact i was listening to the soundtrack last night, it actually has two songs recorded that aren't in the film. Haven't seen treasure island for years, must dig out my old VHS copy of it at some point.
