Your Newest DVDs...

[Misawa]

Basically just post all the DVDs that you have gotten recently and continue to update, whilst commenting other peoples' growing collections and such.

Perhaps a sticky?

It was a grand day for DVDs today for me as I was out shopping with friends. Firstly I saw Crocodile, a bad, bad croc flick, for £1 and had to buy it as I collect low-budget garbage, and I couldn't argue with the price, especially in overpriced-as-hell Zavvi. This was followed by Ong-Bak/ The Warrior with Tony Jaa, the Asian film with like a constant 5 minute fight scene that is one continous shot, that was £3.00. I also like to collect controversial films, especially ones that were banned upon release. I wrote a three-part series on the most controversial films of all time a while ago on Habbox.com and owned pretty much all except a couple, one being Baise-Moi, which I had a bootleg tape of, but not a DVD, £6.00 and it was the first time that I had seen it in a store. It is a French film that features actual sex followed by grizzly murder, but I just had to add it to my collection after a while searching offline.

My next two I received for free. It was my birthday the other day and a friend of mine said that I could choose a DVD and he would buy it for me this past afternoon, so I picked up Kill Bill, both volumes, in a boxset. I only ever owned the first, for some reason, and my 2-year-old niece took great pleasure in nicking it off a shelf and tearing the box up. Finally, Psycho 1-4 in a boxset, £15.00 in Tesco, and the stupid broad at the checkout never scanned it, seemingly forgetting after asking me for I.D., so I got that for free.

Anyway - keep this updated, yes? And don't blame me for this "essay", it's 3.00am and I have nothing better to do as I'm driving for four hours at 06.30. :eusa_wall

The last DVD I bought was Dragons Forever, starring Jackie Chan. I'm slowly but surely on my way to collecting all of his films.

I've seen the fight scene you're on about in Ong-Bak, truly amazing. I haven't seen the actual film yet though.

The Bank Job, an enjoyable heist film!

[xander]

The Bank Job looks ace, was Jason Statham any good in it?

I recently bought "No Retreat, No Surrender". A film made in the late 80s (89 I think) and it's one of Jeanne Claude Van Damme's first movies, I think it was his second or third appearance in a film & he played a fairly "big" part in this film. In it, JC-Van Damme is actually a villian, and not the hero. It was quite a good film, cheesy in some places (definately had that retro 80s vibe about it, especially some of the clothing!) but that's just from when it was made.

[Blinger1]

My mum bought the box set a while ago, I then went to cinema with her to see the movie, are the episodes as good as the movie?

Well the vast majority of fans who saw the film thought it was terrible, which is one of the reasons it was a disaster.

[Andys]

Don't really buy dvds, but last one i downloaded was Waynes World :P

[Plux]

Backdraft

[Stephen08]

Shrooms is one strange film lol

So I guess the series should be better than the movie?

[Misawa]

Apparently so.

And speaking of X-Files: The Movie, you get it free if you book the new film with Cineworld.

[le harry]

The Bank Job.

[risque]

The movie wasn't a disaster, true fans who have watched it from the start found the movie to be thoroughly enjoyable and in-depth. If it was that much of a disaster, a sequel wouldn't have been confirmed.

And Jack I don't see how you could have understood it without seeing the series? The series' are as good as the movie and are definitely worth the watch.

Got them, they're amazing. Go for it.

A film doesn't need to be a huge success to warrant a sequel. Yes, there is a sequel that has been green-lit, but the first debuted at about number 2 and then just fell out of the box office.

To debut at number 2 is good enough, the storyline was great but for people who didn't even watch the SATC throughougly, cannot be expected to enjoy it to it's full cause because they don't know half of the storylines that are carried throughout the movie, these of which having occured in the series.

If people are just going to watch the movie without watching past series, their views cannot be taken seriously and they cannot be taken as credible sources. It's a better movie than several being released recently. It was an instant classic and it always will be.

[Misawa]

Unfortunately for you the film will not go down as a classic.

It's like The Devil Wears Prada, it got all that hype and success, you hardly hear of it now.

It's alot better than several being released?

Dark Knight, Hulk, Iron Man, Forbidden Kingdom, Wanted

Does not compare near them.

[risque]

It already has to fans of Sex and the City, that means more than the opinions of critics I'm afraid.

It's nothing like The Devil Wears Prada. TDWP didn't get 25% of the anticipation that SATC did, it's ridiculous to say otherwise. Yeah, it's a lot better than them films listed, excluding Dark Knight and Wanted.

"Does not compare near them" Yeah erm, in English please?

Risque does not understand the difference between opinion and craft.

Says he who forces his opinion of what makes a good movie and what doesn't!

Nice one, such an outstanding comeback! Detection of sarcasm: 100%.
