Bullets 'n' Babes

Bought Oblivion (UK Blu-ray) yesterday, didn't like the Frame packaging as the spine has no title on it, so went to Tesco and bought it in a standard Blu-ray case and returned the other one to HMV today.

It depends, they included the pre-order of The Devil's Backbone in the sale this year, which I took advantage of.

Kick-Ass 2 - 3.5/5

Very enjoyable sequel, probably funnier than the first.

Received: Possession (Second Sight Blu-ray)

Received: The Devil's Backbone (Criterion Blu-ray)

Yeah the US one is good.

Both.

The Conjuring (2013) - 1.5/5 ...lack of scares MPAA disagreed. They refused to give PG-13 even for a cut version, because "It’s just so scary. [There are] no specific scenes or tone you could take out to get it PG-13" :lol: - http://www.movie-censorship.com/news_en.php?ID=5194 I know, it's all a co...

A large percentage of my collection is art films, but I found this film pretentious and yes, extremely boring.

I hated it tbh, so pretentious IMO.

Second Sight Blu-rays of Cronenberg's The Brood and Zulawski's Possession?

The Conjuring (2013) - 1.5/5 How many more times do we have to watch doors slamming and birds flying into windows? Nothing new in this film, bored me so much I was just thinking all the way through it about how to make my own horror film, and I'm genuinely not sure if I fell asleep or not. No idea w...

Generous score

The Wolverine (2013) - 4/5

So much better than I was expecting, up there with the best superhero films.

He's infamous for his Arrow-bashing, and his blog where he over-explains everything like he's talking to a bunch of fools lol.

Bargain!

When someone calls that Pooch tool a 'hero', you know there's something wrong

To all The Wicker Man fans, you’ll be very pleased to know the Blu-ray will include the UK theatrical cut, The Directors Cut (with seamless branching into extra scenes) and of course The Final Cut, plus lots more - now there's a reason to celebrate! Keep following The Wicker Man for more details. T...

The Frozen Ground - 2.5/5

It was OK, nothing special.

The Thing (2011) - 1.5/5

Thanks Gas :) Though like you, I'm wondering what he means when Hardy says "It has never been shown in UK theatres before or been restored to Blu Ray before" etc, what he's referring to? His wording suggests he means a different print from the DVD Director's Cut one but its hard to tell. If it ends...
