Added a couple of excellent movies to the DvD collection

[Creamo]

CABLE GUY-
Well, most people either love or hate Cable Guy. I’ve watched it like 25 times and each time find some little thing that guy does. It’s a great performance. Me myself and Irene was good in the theater because the audience made it fun, but I fell asleep on the rental. Cable Guy is on sale at Wally World btw.

KALIFORNIA-
is Brad Pitt as a serial killer. Great flick, he’s a mean sum-squeak.

THE KING OF COMEDY-
 isn’t actually on DVD yet, it’s just such a great movie I threw it in.

PANTERA 3
- is three videos of their tours. Live shows, actual videos, and tons of backstage type footage as they just carry a camcorder around. Typical rock tour stuff (tits,ass,drinking) but no one does it like Pantera. You’d hate it I assume, even more than Mr.Fish would with his hoopty Arlo Guthery something fellow acoustic crap, heh.

RUSH CHRONICALS-
Why would you want the Rush DVD?! For one, The Trees is way better when the boys are in wacky long 70’s priest robes and a smokey stage on yer bigscreen. And, not only can you watch them play songs which is interesting for musicians, you forget just how many bad haircuts they have had. Fortunately Alex went bald.

You should see if The Big Red One is on dvd yet.

I've been keeping an eye out for this one in the local stores.. haven't seen it yet.

And... I'm not a musician... and have already seen Rush in concert a couple of times... and love "The Trees" (did they still lead into it with "broonsbain"?)... but I still get the feeling I'd be cringing most of the way through the "visual" experience.

The Big Red One is available on DVD and is in my collection.

[Dead Man Flying]

I see you finally got The Thing on DVD.  My favorite horror movie of all time.  It still creeps me out twenty years later.  Great choice!

An Aussie friend of mine keeps bugging me to watch this...any good?

I personally think it's crap. Russ made his name in it, but apart from some brooding and bit of the ultra-violence, its a pretty stupid film.
For great Australian films try:
Two Hands : starring Heath Ledger, Bryan Brown
Chopper: starring Eric Bana
The Hard Word: starring Guy Pierce, Rachel Griffiths, Joel Edgerton


my last 5 DVD's (261 titles):

Tigerland
RoboCop SE
Predator SE
Buffy the Vampire Slayer Box Set: Season 4
Blackhawk Down

...it is the "lashings of the old 'ultra-violence' that this guy enjoyed about the film...

He also had me watch Bad Boy Bubby once...which had it's moments, but was hardly a great film.  (Although everytime I see a cat now I will point at it and say "Cat don't breath".)

Curval Romper Stomper is an absolute must..

The anarchy of the movie is refreshing if you're used to hollycrap.
You'll never look at Russel Crowe the same again..

I saw R-S years before he came to hollywood, wasn't surprised that he made it to there.

I prefer non-hollywood movies, you can find absolute pearls from there made by people before they're 'made.'

Look up for Accion Mutante and Ebola Syndrome too

[Kratzer]

Romper Stomper is pretty brutal... a good film, but you aren't going to feel good after watching it. It's disturbing.

Has some good one liners though:

Why are you here?

We've come to wreck everything and ruin your life.

[AKDejaVu]

I thought Romper Stomper was pretty decent.  The music blended well with the rage throughout the film.  I'd give it a B.

20?  That movie (Starring James Arness as the Thing) is almost 50 years old!






I know I know, New version made later!

[Kratzer]

I picked up Dark Blue World today, but probably won't get to watch it until tomorrow.

I've been waiting for this one!

[mietla]

I love "Dark Blue World", but "Behind teh Enemy Lines" was one of the stupidest movies I've ever saw.

[funkedup]

C'mon what's wrong with "Behind Enemy Lines"????
It was sooooooooo realistic when the two-star hovered his Huey 100 yards from a platoon of BMPs and BTRs and destroyed him with his miniguns while they couldn't hit him once.

[MrRiplEy[H]]

The whole movie is a screaming example of a realistic, non-biased and in no way propaganda related military movie.

Absolutely one of the best work that ever has come out right after any war.

I think it scored 1 star of 5 in the reviews I've seen and that was because it had good action.

I liked Bad Boy Bubby, it was totally out there at times.
Romper had its moments too, but it was just about the violence. Jacqueline Mackenzie was good, but I thought Romper was a waste of energy, I'd been there done that with Suburbia and Quadrophenia

I picked up Dark Blue World today, but probably won't get to watch it until tomorrow.

I've got Dark Blue World coming hopefully will arrive next week.

The more I watch BlackHawk Down, the more I appreciate movies like this over others like  "Behind Enemy Lines". Black Hawk is sensational through the surround sound system ,ahhhh if only it had a DTS soundtrack.
