DVD and Blu Ray Update (15/07/2012 - 28/07/2012)

Hi again imaginary readers to another DVD update sponsored by nobody. It's been an okay sort of fortnight.

Fist Of Fury - This is the 23rd Century release (I already own the Hong Kong Legends version) and I have to say the print on this dubbed version is actually quite impressive for a budget title. I did a little bit of research and their is quite a lot of people who call them a bootleg company but I've seen 23rd Century in legit shops so who knows?

The Alamo
Chisum
CB4
The Night They Saved Christmas

Face The Music  - as much as Molly Ringwald is mean't to be a mega-b#tch in real life I still like her as a screen presence.

Postcards From The Edge
Change Of Habit
Falling Down
Dinner For Schmucks
Death Note

She's All That - fluffy teen rom-com stuff with the main reason for buying this is because it's in the red and white Film Four case.

The Omega Man - this was the second adaptation of Richard Matheson's I Am Legend, while I prefer The Last Man On Earth starring Vincent Price I do prefer this to the Will Smith version. Blu Ray buy.

The Brave One - Another Blu Ray buy (the 25th so far), see's Jodie Foster do vigilante justice, while I didn't dislike it I wanted it to be better, I just dunno I think it was missing some sort of spark.

The Informers
Tora! Tora! Tora!
Colors
First Knight
Dudley Do Right
The Green Berets

National Treasure 2 - Book Of Secrets - this sequel is actually better then the first movie.


The Street Fighter Collection - Birthday gift along with the one below from my Brother, but hey wait a minute... my Birthday is not actually until October. I guess my Brother saw these and couldn't wait to give them to me. I already owned these three films in the 10 Faces Of Sonny Chiba set but those where all dubbed, so it's sort of like seeing these in their original Japanese language for the first time or at that very least in a new light.


Sonny Chiba Collection Volume 1


Sydney White - I always thought Amanda Bynes had quite a cool personality in the stuff I'd seen her in (like The Amanda Show), it seems like she had some sort of trouble with the law earlier this year so I hope it's not the beginning of going in the wrong direction, I haven't watched this yet.


El Dorado
Fort Apache
Wonderland


Four Enchanting Stories By Roald Dahl - I've been collecting DVDs based on the work of Roald Dahl and this was the last title I needed based off of any of his books (I need Chitty Chitty Bang Bang but that was written for the screen).


The Big Sleep (1978)
Exit To Eden
Rio Lobo
Rooster Cogburn
Sahara (2005)
Patton
The Master Of Disguise


Monster - I have never seen this movie before but it cost me the grand total of 20p. I think one of the reasons I haven't seen it is being burnt out by Oscar favoured movies because 9 times out of 10 I feel like I'm disappointed, I am going to give this a try soon enough though because I am intrigued by real life criminals.


Suspense Classics (50 Movies) - I do enjoy the Mill Creek 50 movie packs (or the 12, 20 or 25 for that matter), while the quality is not the best the movies are watchable and you often get a lot for your money. This was actually in a shop in my (English) home town, I am probably familiar with less titles in this then I usually am but there are some films I am intrigued to see such as The Woman Hunter with Barbara Eden, Seducers with Sondra Locke, Please Murder Me with Angela Lansbury and The Night They Took Miss Beautiful featuring Phil Silvers.


Mean Girls 2 - I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED Mean Girls, so I was curious to see this sequel even if it was a straight to DVD release and only featured one actor coming back (Tim Meadows), I have to say despite many negative comments I've heard about this it actually has some likeable moments. I'm not gonna recommend it 100% though but I was happy to leave it on.


Bullets Over Broadway
Between Heaven and Hell / Guadalcanal Diary / To The Shores Of Tripoli
A.I. - Artificial Intelligence
The Long Kiss Goodnight
Around The World In 80 Days (2004)
The Avengers (1998)
Days Of Thunder
Shattering The Silence


That's it for this fortnight, see you in two weeks...
