I'm going to watch Deep Red next. Not sure whether to watch the Original Version or Directors Cut first.

I prefer the Director's Cut.

Thanks, I don't know why I'm finding it so hard to decide!

RE: tele1962
As for the Fury, it's a film I was never THAT impressed with. It has some good moments, but it was never as great as I'd expected. Perhaps it's time I gave it another shot!

De Palma (like Kubrick) is one of these directors who I can take or leave. He's made some great films (such as Dressed to Kill, Blow Out and Sisters) and made some extremely over-rated films (such as Carrie and Scarface). Just my oppinion.

Invasion of the body snatchers

I prefer the remake to the original just find it a lot more creepy and disturbing, also it's brilliantly shot with some great camera work and it has a real sense of paranoia. The man headed dog is still very creepy. Never has some one pointing been so frighting. Only downside was I didn't think the PQ is up to arrows latests releases, it's not bad but if you compare it too other new releases you might be a little disappointed . 9/10

Lord of the rings the fellowship of the ring

Forgotten how much I enjoy these movies, it's not hard to see why and how they were better than the Star Wars prequels that came out around the same time. George sat on his ass and did nothing new, while Jackson improved special effects with these films, if you look now it's dated a bit but the effects still look better than the Star Wars prequels effects and there was also a lot of lovely model work and real sets, sadly something the prequels lacked. 9/10

Lord of the rings the two towers

Probably my favourite of the trilogy, some amazing battle scenes and great acting from most of the cast, also gollum was amazing and shows what can be done with cgi if done right, you watch him and its hard to think of him as not being real, with the amazing facial expressions and Andy serkis amazing voice
acting and movements. 10/10

Now watching the catacombs which have never seen then a Texas chainsaw massacre double bill with the first two movies.

If you haven't seen it before watch the original version. That way the directors cut should be noticeably different.

Film binge today -

Rewind This

An excellent documentary on VHS, its legacy and the fanatic collectors. I imagine a fair chunk of it won't be new to anyone (VHS vs Beta, high cost of tapes initially etc), but they've assembled a great collection of interviewees. Several figures in the Asian film industry also give their opinion. A must watch for any film fan who grew up with the VHS tape.

Escape From The Bronx

Its been a while since I saw The Bronx Warriors, but from what I can ascertain the gangs from that film are now living together underground. Some big corporation are being a right load of meanies by toasting everyone in the Bronx so some ragamuffins get together and shoot the silver gits. 3 and a half radioactive mushroom clouds out of 5.

The New Warriors

I nodded off a bit during this, although that could just be due to staying up until 3am last night. Despite that, I still don't think the plot would make much sense even if I was fully alert for the entire running time. White clad bikers hate religion, like killing people and seemingly enjoy raping men - highly recommended. Also features Fred Williamson kicking ass and getting the girl, as is the norm for any film in which he stars.

Two towers has always been my favourite rings film, can't believe others do not normally agree. It just sums up 'Lord of the rings for me. Fellowship lacks Gollum and Return in it's Theatrical cut lacked Saruman, whereas towers had it all, and great battle scenes.
