It's time for the regular DVD Update. Seems a bit more then the last few updates. Also a certain someone had a birthday during the last couple of weeks. I think some of these will give away what some of my guilty pleasures are, also features features pointless bonus notes on some pointing out stuff a perv (like me) might enjoy.
That's So Raven – Supernaturally Stylish - I liked the show, it's very OTT in just about every performance but the characters are likeable. Most of the live action Disney shows (and even Nickeledon ones at that) are often good for what they are.
Once Bitten
Police Story 2 - if your talking about great sequels, Jackie Chan's never get mentioned like the first movie this is a cool as hell.
Delirious - John Candy film that just isn't as good as I remembered it would be, I guess that sometimes happens hey, Candy in a lead role is always watchable though.
Local Hero
Aliens In The Attic – watched this going or coming back from holiday a few years back. Fun movie. Bonus = Ashley Tisdale in a bikini. Robert Hoffman who plays her boyfriend, I forget his character name is really fun as his Doris Roberts as the grandmother.
ER Season 15 - The 15th and final season of ER, is a return to form after quite a run of overall weak seasons, maybe it's because it sort of works as a greatest hits season, with many long gone characters making returns, including two from beyond the grave.
Riot
That's So Raven – Disguise The Limit - pretty much what I wrote about the other DVD, should go here aswell.
Fanboys - There is elements of this film that don't quite click, like why would Kristen Bell's character hang out with these guys and actually like one of them, and that's not out of my lust for Bell, that's out of how adjusted her character seems to be. I like the story though, it captures the mood of the excitement of Phantom Menace coming out, and I like the drama moments of the movie. Some of the cameos are fun and it genuinely a likeable film. Bonus = Kristen Bell in Leia's Slave Bikini
Magical Mystery Tour - quite an atrocious print for this release of Beatles first flop, as a narrative film it's non existent but at least the songs, which are mostly excellent make superb music videos, there are fun random moments but as a whole it's nothing compared to Hard Day's Night or Help!
The Office Season 5 - The seasons best thing involve the development of Michael and Pam's relationship (not like that!) when he negotiates his way back into the company after leaving to form the Michael Scott Paper Company (which Pam came with him) and gets his old job back aswell as getting Pam a new position in the company, it's really a sweet development there. The adorable Erin played by the adorable Ellie Kemper also joins the cast this season.
Saturday Night Live – The Best Of Cheri Oteri
Pulse - oh Kristen Bell, seriously what do you do to me, you make me go out and buy films like this just because of the fact you are in them. This is a scareless remake of a Japanese original is forgetful at least five minutes after watching.
Dan In Real Life
Final Destination 3 - plane crash - exciting, highway pile up - exciting, faulty rollercoaster - less so exciting, besides some of the deaths been pretty cool the film doesn't have quite the same inventiveness as the first two.
The Snowman - if your British like me I think it's required by law to watch this every Christmas.
The Monster
Halloween II
Made In Britain
Fatal Passion
Anywhere But Here - Natalie Portman made this in 99 and Where The Heart Is in 2000, and if she would have stayed on this road her career would have been much less interesting. (make it sound like a) Bonus (but it's not) - Natalie Portman kissing Thora Birch (on the cheek for half a second to say goodbye).
RoadRacers
TAPS
For Queen and Country
Deadlier Than The Male / Some Girls Do
Rio Bravo
Beautiful Girls - besides Leon, this was the best performance Natalie Portman delivered as a child / young teen, and it's perhaps the similarties in the characters that make them both stand out - both are old before their time and Portman convinces in both.
Vampire In Brooklyn - Eddie Murphy was still in fail to find a hit period that as lasted from Harlem Nights to his next movie after this The Nutty Professor broke the chain. It's a horror comedy and it's neither scary or funny, you want at least one of them don't you?

To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything Julie Newmar - it's still surreall some 16 years later to see Patrick Swayze and Wesley Snipes, camping up to high heaven in drag.
Intolerable Cruelty
Little Britain Series 2
London's Burning Series 3
Blade - House Of Chthon
The Love Bug
Only The Brave
Caligula
2DTV Series 3
The Bridge At Remagen
Rock Profile
Man Of The House - it's reviews weren't good but it's a lot of fun, Bonus - Kelli Garner, Vanessa Ferlito, Monica Keena and others as cheerleaders.
Flags Of Our Fathers / Letters From Iwo Jima
Ugly Betty Season 1
Paul - Simon Pegg and Nick Frost make a project together without Edgar Wright for the first time and the two co-write a decent movie but it fails to hit the heights of Spaced, Shaun Of The Dead, or even Hot Fuzz.
RoboCop – Crime Wave
The Mechanik
The League Of Gentlemen Are Behind You
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon - while it's beautifully shot, which you can't say about a lot of other kung fu movies, it's just not as interesting to me as these.
The Majestic - it's a sweet movie but it never quite gets you emotionally as it aspires to be.
True Lies
The Simple Life 3 - Interns - Bonus = Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie's naked backs... if that's your sort of thing.
