I watched Act of Valor tonight on German Blu and while the acting leaves a lot to desire I actually found myself completely engrossed. o.k. its a jingoistic advert for the US military but the action is excellent and theres something about a well made war film that I find particularly satisfying.

| The Anderson Tapes (1971) Sean Connery led crime caper about the skilled robbery of a block of wealthy apartments, by a crack team of criminals, but as with a lot of the best laid plans things go awry. What the gang don't realize is that they are being watched... by everyone. What starts out as a hard nosed crime movie, somehow becomes a whimsical piece as it becomes apparent that although the crooks are under massive surveillance operations none of it is actually legal and none of it is done by the police. The film's final setpiece in New York's closed off streets is particularly impressive as it clearly involves real people and vehicles rather than the obligatory CGI we would see nowadays. An enjoyable piece of seventies hi-jinks with Christopher Walken in his first major screen role. |

| The Illusionist (2006) Didn't pull the wool over my eyes! Pandora Peaks (2001)  I'm beginning to think the Russ Meyer box set wasn't such a great idea!Inglorious Basterds (2012) What the hell just happened? I thought I was sitting down to a war movie  I think I ended up in some sort of alternate universe!

Magic Mike (2012) - Now I could happily watch male strippers for an hour and a half or even longer, I appreciate the effort they put in to stripping, I think it has to be the funniest of all art forms. Of course this wasn't all stripping and I did enjoy it but I wouldn't exactly recommend it, or watch it again. I mean the plot was decent, acting was fine, just not titilating enough, although some of the stripping was hilarious, you can see that in the trailer. I just love male stripper moves. The Clairvoyant (1935) - A pretty decent thriller about a mind reader played by Claude Rains also starring Fay Wray, worth a rent. and I haven't watched anything else but those two rentals as I was distracted with udraw. But this weekend I plan to unwrap BBC Ghost Stories for Christmas, A Nightmare on Elm Street box set and Profondo Rosso at least.

If you put a Christmas tree up surely it deserves to be watched with the tree lights twinkling to give it that added sparkle.  |

The worst is when you save things, when you finally decide to watch you have a quick look to see how much it is now and find out it's been reduced by a fair amount. I do rarely purchase things full price though. Demdike@Cult Labs likes this.
