I don't know if Pedro has been naughty or whether Blockbuster have some advanced stock because it isn't released until the 12th. I saw it a week or so ago for review and thought it was really good, though it could have been funnier and scarier in order to press all the right buttons and be a top-notch horror-comedy.

Watched FINAL CUT last night on film4, Robin Williams excellent as the unlikeable anti-hero(despite the title it's a sci-fi, not a slasher) in the near future "cutters" can access an implant after you die and edit your memories so the family have a condensed visual keepsake of their loved ones. Protesters accuse it of wiping the real person and replacing the bad things with good, making false memories. Great concept, and no real SFX make it interesting(and William's character being a bit of a wimpy git, helps) I thought it a nice change of pace for a U.S. sci-fi(endings a bit weak tho). Check it out if you tire of 300 million dollar CGI-a-thons. I was in the mood for this so I'd give a solid 4/5, less if action's your bag.

Watched Sea of Love last night. First viewing in fifteen years or so.

Still an excellent film, well acted, tightly plotted, full of humour, mystery and sensuality. Pacino is his usual great self, John Goodman fills the roll of his partner brilliantly and has all the best lines, and Ellen Barkin simply smoulders each time she graces the screen.

Wallstreet Money never Sleeps.
I thought this film was a boring waste of time. Liked the first film but this just didn't get going

[gag]

recently watched
city heat
streets of fire
duel
driver
warriors

and ive come to conclusion no matter how good films of today are they just dont quite make them as good as they use to and older films are defo the best

[nekromantik]

just seen The Caller.
Interesting premise and quite creepy at times but the 2nd half kinda looses it.
this could have been great but ended up being ok.

nope Nos, i've not been naughty, we have it as an exclusive rental from the 9th and the stock came in early. It's actually released on 19th so we get for the 10 days before.

I've recently re-watched it too, the Samuel L Jackson cameo was one thing but Glazer from The Burning showing up was something else..*Where do I recognize that voice from?*
