DVD and Blu Ray Update (26/02/2012 - 10/03/2012)

Here we are with a short update and actually on time - which for the foreseeable future will be a common thing, eBay purchases are going to be very minimal for a while and just the amount of money I'll have spare to spend will also be a lot less. Real life just keeps getting in the way and there is the crap possibility that I could end up selling stuff as time goes on, but I'm trying to be some DVDs just to keep part of my life happy - anyway on with the actual update...

Behind The Mask

The Haunted Mansion - I've been on the Disney ride which it's based on and despite it's corniness is a cool ride but this film which I thought I would have actually caught by now just falls flat.

Meet Dave - I think despite the films obvious flaws there is something I liked about this film and I'm not sure what it is.

Stardust - I really liked it, there hasn't been a proper fun fantasy movie like this in so long it feels like - I was totally digging this movie all the way through and it also helps you've also got people like Robert De Niro who is an absolute delight here.

Prince Of The Sun - Another fun movie, my Brother got this for me, and like most of Cynthia Rothrock's Hong Kong movies are at the very least good watches.

Raging Phoenix

Pret-á-Porter

Hot Tub Time Machine - This film was just lacking and this is coming from somebody who loves time-travel stories. There's a decent cast here but it's just a weak film overall.

Clash Of The Titans
Supergirl

Gross Anatomy - The tenth Blu Ray in my collection and it cost me... (drum roll)... 99p... the cheapest I ever paid for a Blu Ray yet. I have yet to watch it so can't really comment on it.

Holy Man - while there is good moments here and there, it's a film that is actually supposed to be from when  Eddie Murphy was back on top from post-Nutty Professor, it just feels like a film Murphy would have accepted between 90 and 95.

The Night Flier

Hogfather

All In Good Taste - I'll start off by saying I haven't been tricked by the cover saying it's Jim Carrey movie, I know he's only in the movie briefly but I wanted to be a completest, but it's still a better film from a completest point of view from the one at the very bottom of this entry

No Code Of Conduct - I got this cause I collect Mark Dacascos films, don't know too much about it, it does also star Charlie and Martin Sheen though.

Deck The Halls

Blackpool - watching the first episode makes me think of it as a spiritual successor to the amazing Singing Detective and after watching the first episode I'm really digging it - David Morrissey and David Tennant where great in the first episode.

Igby Goes Down

Deadwood Season 1 - really, really digging this, kind of wish I'd seen it back in the mid-00s, but you can't see everything. A lot of great performances particularly Ian McShane who just's amazing here (and who would have thought he was just Lovejoy to me at one point). Last episode I watched at the time of writing was the first appearance of KB.

Point Break

Deadwood Season 2 - you would think with the second season appearing underneath the first season on the list would mean I would get them together, but now partway through me getting engrossed with the first series I was lucky enough to find the second season for cheap, so I'll probably go straight onto this after finishing the first.

Doctor Who Series 1 - I've got about 10 Doctor Who titles before this and they've all been of the pre-2005 variety so I am very glad to finally add something from the Russell T. Davies era because it clearly has better special effects then the original era but as great writing aswell. Christopher Ecclestone and Billie Piper are great it's kind of sad there wasn't a longer run (as great as Tennant was who came after him)

Going Overboard - rancid turd of a movie that is in IMDBs bottom 100 got this because it's one of the few Adam Sandler films, the shopkeeper ended up giving me though because he didn't want to change a note (I brought this and DW at the same time). Billy Bob Thornton and Billy Zane pop up before bigger success aswell.
