"Vexille"

Stunning CG Anime that utilises a varied soundtrack (everything from 'Dead can Dance' to 'The Prodigy') to great effect and combines it with some great aural FX to create a stunning soundscape that matches the stunning visuals perfectly.

Most importantly though it has an engaging, emotional, exciting, action packed plot and storyline that mixes bits of "Star Wars", with "Bladerunner", "AI", "Dune" post apocalypse flicks and good old slam bang Mecha to create an utterly satisfying experience.

Only negative is a small one.
And that it's a shame a multi-lingual audio track, that's mostly in Japanese with subtitles but flips to English when American characters, in America, are speaking to each other, was utilised.
It's a bit weird to have an explicitly American vs Japan plot set-up with everyone speaking Japanese, even when in America with no Japanese around.
It jars with the actual Japanese characters speaking to each other.

But that's a small thing in an otherwise stunning Sci-Fi Anime that plays out as well as it looks and sounds.

Last of the Living - The best low budget Zombie film I have ever seen, it's sooooo funny.

The Independent - Pure genius, everyone should own this film.

Caligula Blu-ray - Explain to me how that got an uncut 18 certificate

1408 - Creepy head f*!k of a film, enjoyable indeed.

Memphis Belle - Good fun feel good buddy film

The New York Ripper - Whats with the ridiculous duck noise, it cheapened the story. Still well filmed and enjoyable though.

The King of Kong - One of the best documentaries I've seen, surprisingly touching and heartwarming yet gripping too.

Religulous - I'm an Atheist so I completely admired this funny and controversial look on Religion and it's sheer ridiculousness.

The Crate, Father's Day & Something To Tide You Over are mine! Savini's monkey monster & Adrienne Barbeau, Ed Harris doing the funky chicken, and Leslie Nielsen are what make these my particular favourites.

I rented Sexy Killer the other night. It was a god fun female serial killer/reanimated zombie film. worth a look for those who like that kind of thing.

There were a bunch of trailers on the rental dvd. One was for a zombie film, it looked quite low budget. The thing I remember most about it was four people coming down an industrial lift holding weapons into a horade of zombies. It reminded me of the video game Left4Dead. There were also clips of some really awsome looking zombie carnage. I'd like to see this but have forgotten the title (it was 2 words one may have started with s), can anyone help me out????

Currently watching "Creepshow" myself.
Still think it was a stupid idea to go to all that trouble in making an 'EC' style movie...and do it with great care...and then have utterly alien swearing in the film that was never in the comics.

Not a bad flick at all, good fun, top Savini work and a great cast.
The first tale though is weak, "Father's Day", as it really does play like something designed to scare and surprise 1960's 8 year old and so it falls flat now. Thank God for Ed Harris' funky dance moves!
Rest is much better...but the swearing sticks out like sore thumb.

I agree with you completely about RELIGULOUS - a very funny doc and has a lot of truth in the absurdity of religion altogether
THE NEW YORK RIPPER - one of Fulci;s best
CALIGULA - very underrated and it was long overdue for an uncut cert, shame the blu ray hasn't got the commentaries, I have the standard dvd anyway
MEMPHIS BELLE - typical wartime American crap
