Hard Boiled, by John Woo. Worth it for the scene in which the hero jumps out of a 2nd storey window with a baby in his arms, while the building explodes. Pure action.

Not John Woo, but I like Rock n' Roll Cop. Pretty fucking dark when the lead baddie and his mate pick up two prostitutes, then rape and kill them. But it got silly near the end when the goodie's love interest is dying with blood gushing out everywhere, and he's there frantically wheeling her around on a cart thingy. Bit over the top that.

Rock 'n' Roll cop is cool. Saw it years ago. Anthony Wong is always good to watch.
 
Watched Léon at the Prince Charles Cinema.
First time I have seen that work of genius on the big screen.
 
michael caine outbronsons charles in a rather ugly-minded broken britain revenge thriller.
the plot is ludicrous and the acting is dreadful but to its credit it's lit and filmed beautifully, so the locations (in the aylesbury estate in elephany & castle, opposite corsica studios) look amazing
 
Survive Style 5+

Japanese thriller/black comedy with Sonny Chiba, Hiroshi Abe and bloody Vinnie Jones.

Weird, stylish, bonkers, gross and funny.

Always wondered about that one. When I was spending a lot of time alone in Japan I would look out for the few DVDs that had english subs. SS5+ was on the list but I think I watched way too many shit films before I got to it. Fantastipo was the final nail in the coffin. It's hard to find yourself ever wanting to sit down and watch a film after that shite.
 
Astro Boy...Nothing to recommend it really.

Matt Lucas was in there, must've been second choice to Eric Idle by the sound of the character.

I have to admit; I'll watch anything from that part of the world & I've seen a lot of questionable stuff masquerading as entertainment but SS5+ is worth a look. Not if you've got a hangover, mind :)
 
Great exchange shop opened near me, so got Zombieland and Zodiac on Blu-Ray for £15.

Zombieland - How the fuck have I only just seen this? Hilarious, gory and decent characters (for a Zombie flick at least), the opening slo-mo zombie attack scene set to Metallica's 'For Whom The Bell Tolls' was brilliant.

Loved the surprise in the middle too, I somehow managed to avoid spoilers for that, so it was even more entertaining :D

Oh, and Wichita? Would.

:cool:
 
I watched that doc erasing David on More 4.
Good idea but not half as interesting as I thought it would be. Dumb bugger gets caught by being an idiot, and did sod all to actually erase himself.
 
^ that pissed me off as he seemed so fucking clueless. (that and David Blunkett)

Superted - Trouble In Space part 1 &2:D
forgotton the theme tune was so discotastic :cool: and Pertwee was Spotty lol :facepalm:
 
fantastic mr fox. it was delightful. loved every minute of it and everything about it. the cussing, the running, kylie, jarvis singing. i can see why some would completely hate it though.
 
Saw that Sky Captain one. Not as good as they say it is now or as bad as they said it was then. :hmm:

At least Jude Law was so bland it helped me came up with the concept of future movies in which the viewer's face and voice get transferred onto the parts of the Hero. :)

Yipes that film is a howler. I have it on DVD but just can't sit though it and I can't say that for many films. I have tried three times but it's like wading though mud.
