I was looking at the screenshot comparisson on dvdbeaver between the BU DVD and Blu Ray - the difference is really striking! Don't you wanna go Blu . . . ?

After 3 goes I finally finished Michael Haneke's The White Ribbon. This is not to infer it's a poor movie - quite the opposite, it's beautifully shot (amazing b&w blu picture, landscape shots to die for), brilliantly acted and with a genuine sense of evil abroad - but boy is it intense, at times as cruel as Funny Games, you'd better be in an alert frame of mind before embarking on this 144 min journey to the dark side.

I managed to watch it in one sitting and found it to be an engrossing and superb piece of filmmaking with, like you say, amazing performances and beautiful cinematography. I watched it as a rental when it was first released and should really add it to my collection.

Ulrich Tukur, who plays The Baron, is absolutely terrifying!

I'll never understand why The Prowler gets so much nostalgic attention on the internet. Apart from a few snippets of Savini fun, it's 90 minutes of padding, filler and tedium. It's painfully slow.

Help me folks, a stoners channel surf has alighted on ITV4HDs screeing of Jaws 4 - The Revenge. What the hell am I watching??!!! Let me state categorically that there has NEVER been a franchise drop-off like Jaws to this. Ersatz Jamaica patois of the most unlistenable stripe? A ratarsed Michael Caine stumbling around a mni mardi gras with Jilly Goolden (was that her name? How quickly we forget) lookalike, a bearded actor with exactly one expression? Turn on ITV4HD now, this is unmissable!

The survivor.

Still not a fan of this robert powell starrer. The katerina dvd looks fantastic but I just thought it lacked a certain something...

Eyes of crystal.

Supurb modern giallo and WAY better than anything Dario Argento's done in the last 15 years. Well worth checking out.

Humains.

Very standard and tame hills have eyes rip off from france. Has phillip nahon and dominique pinon so still worth a look. Don't expect anything groundbreaking or origional and its sort of fun. I picked it up today from a charity shop for £1.50 and worth it at that price.

I agree with you about Eyes of Crystal. I picked up the UK DVD having never seen the film before and was pleasantly surprised. It is certainly much more violent than a typical gialli though.
