I've only just got round to watching it, I seem to have been wearing sweatbands around my wrist so it appears like I'm joining in.

Pure cheese, slightly ridiculous a bit daft but fun and a fairly good soundtrack. The fight scenes are pretty amazing. The copy I've seen had poor audio too but at some points I think the actors are just quiet because, well, the acting is pretty poor.

American Mary (blu-ray) - one of my favourite films of last year.

Couple of recent watches of films I haven't seen in years via Netflix. Both from the awesome imagination of Clive Barker, Candyman and Lord of Illusions and both bloody good films, I've no idea why I don't own either film :crazy:

City Of The Dead (1960)
The Creeping Flesh (1973)

Just started watching The French Connection – my fourth Best Picture Oscar winner of the day. Earlier on today I was able to cross A Man for All Seasons, How Green Was My Valley and Patton off my Oscar winners list.

All four are great :nod:

It shows that the Academy sometimes gets things right!

just got back from django unchained and as good as everyone said it was, fantastic movie, everyone was good but found Christoph Waltz and Samuel L. Jackson where amazing, Quentin Tarantino best film in years.

I thought it was a great film. Some might disagree, but It's also one of my favourite Tarantino soundtracks. The use of music from other westerns is inspired.

Another great song, not from a western, but The Last American Hero...

Bigger Than Life - there's not many actors who've played slave abusing plantation owners, Nazi commanders, pedophiles and ruthless assassins yet still convey the image of a perfect English gent. Bravo James Mason, one of the greats - here he is as a drug addled all American father on the slippery road to hell, and yet again he pulls it off. This is an edgy, shadowy film from Nicholas Ray, it's like the flip side of Mad Men's chic retro 50s gloss - here's the real thing and its pretty excruciating. The climactic fight scene with Walter Matthau, accompanied by blaring carousel music is truly a classic. Check this one out folks.
