DVD and Blu Ray Update (06/05/2012 - 19/05/2012)

Welcome to another DVD and Blu Ray update, a bit bigger then normal, some DVDs got sold this month of the wrestling variety (just out of price I would get from the compared to how much I'd re-watch it) so spent some of the money on getting more aswell as stuff out of my normal money.

The Return Of The Pink Panther - for whatever reason this isn't part of The Pink Panther collection I got (in the purple box) even though it stars Peter Sellers like the others do, maybe it was a rights issue thing but anyway I got this elusive Panther film now.

Mercury Rising / The Jackal

High Society - this is actually the first Grace Kelly film I've added to my collection.

Please Don't Eat The Daisies - speaking of adding people to my collection, this is the first Doris Day film I own.

Arthur (1981)

The Hotel New Hampshire

Deep Impact - released in 1998, the year of the dueling asteroid movies, it went up against Armageddon which I think made a fair bit more money, this is a more human story of the two, but still has a a lot of SFX. It's a very watchable movie with some nice moments.

South Park Season 13 - South Park's thirteenth season is still going strong with many funny episodes including the Kanye West Fishsticks episode aswell as the queef episode. This is the first South Park season I own on DVD so am very glad to finally break that run.

Only Fools and Horses Series 3

The Rescuers Down Under

Thor

Arthur (2011) - not bad that is how I would describe it, I liked the chemistry between Russell Brand and Helen Mirren (here playing the John Gielgud role)

That's it for this fortnight, catch you in TWO!

Red State (2011) Review

Billing itself as an unlikely film from that Kevin Smith is an apt way to begin this review - I really wanted to see this film because it really seemed to be a departure for Kevin Smith who's entire previous directing output consisted of comedy - a big chunk of them being related to the cult View Askew Universe (that of Jay and Silent Bob), and is other movies away from that area either got caught up in the Bennifer backlash (Jersey Girl), failed to find audience despite been good (Zack and Miri) or just be a bland action comedy (Cop Out - the only film he directed but didn't write).

The films story start with three teenage lads desperately wanting to lose their virginity, finding and answering an online message about getting it on with an older woman (at the same time)

Neither of three males are the protagonists, it seems to set them up as at least one them being it (and one does come close).

I have heard criticisms of Michael Parks extended sermon stopping the film dead in it's tracks, but I think it really helped you get a feel for his mindset.

However, some of aspects of the film I could have done without, The Sheriff getting a blowjob in a parked car seems like a pointless plot thread that didn't really need to be there.

The real revelation here (religious pun not intended) is Kerry Bishé, who I only really know from the limp last season of Scrubs who delivers a really great performance.

Overall - while there is problems it's still a film that held my attention strongly from start to finish.

Hey dudes, dudettes and other people. Welcome to the regular two weekly DVD Update, bringing you all the new exciting additions to my DVD collection

Burlesque

Galaxina

The Final Destination - the first movies plane crash and second movie freeway pile up set the standard for this movies set pieces and this following on from the thirds rollercoaster accident is a speedway crash and they just aren't as exciting, the same can be said for the deaths which are never as memorable but still can make you wince just enough.

City Of God

Mr. Popper's Penguins

The Color Of Money

In Her Defense

Friends Season 3

True Blood Season 1 - Truly one of the sexiest television shows I have ever seen, it's very sexy all hot and sweaty, this is the vampire saga Twilight wishes it was with all the sexual chemistry going on.
