'First Blood' Ultimate Edition. $6.99 at FS this week.

Beautiful transfer of the primo entry to the series.

RV.

I'm a big Robin Williams fan. This was a hoot to watch. Especially fun was the special features and the outtakes.

The Ghost and Mrs Muir (1947) - Gene Tierney, Rex Harrison, George Sanders, et al. Directed by Joseph Mankiewicz. Another a fine movie in Fox's Classic Series. "A romance between a young widow and a sea captain's ghost weaves a magical tale of immortal love." We had some doubts before viewing, but what a "gem" this movie turned out to be!! And with a wonderful score and beautiful cinematography to match.

Watch Mrs Muir on TVO a couple of months ago. Went straight out and bought the DVD. Gene Tierney is a hidden gem.

Lately I've been watching Berserk, for those that don't know it's a 25 episode anime series of a long running manga series (since 1989/1990) of the same name.

I've been watching Kill Bill Vols. 1 and 2. I just saw ATL and would recomend seeing it. I saw the whole Beserk series. It's pretty crazy. The ending is nutz.

So I'm guessing you don't know what happens after the ending? Because it isn't the end at all, fortunately the manga has continued way after the ending of the anime.

Oh, I've also been watching some Mr.Bean and The Black Adder episodes.

The first episode of the Berserk series was one of my favorites cause it shows what gutz looks like after. Im going to look for the Mangas to get the full story. Ya I played the Dreamcast game too. A good hack n slash type game.

Capote - Excellent film. You really see Capote's downfall based on all his research he put into In Cold Blood. Enjoyed it greatly, and would recommend it. Hoffman deserved the Oscar...not just for the portrayal, but for the emotion and depth he put into the role.

Indiana Jones and the Last Cruscade - The final film is one of the funniest. The inclusion of Indy's dad (and casting of) add's that other dimension for him to play off of. The remastered DVD's were excellent. 5.1 was crisp and solid. PQ was also very good.

Forgot to add one:
Zathura - Good little family action movie. It's from the writer of Jumanji, so I made the comparison. I liked Jumanji more, it just seemed that more was happening. Nevertheless, it was a good movie, with a good story, and some good action. Saw it on MCHD. PQ was quite good. Audio was good too. The house breaking apart in various scenes came from all the surrounds. Plus a great low end.

Our most recent viewings:

The Three Faces of Eve (1957) - Joanne Woodward, David Wayne, Lee J. Cobb. A Fox Studio Classics release (#23). Academy Award winner (Best Actress) 1957 - for Woodward's portrayal of a woman with multiple personality disorder.

Some good and enjoyable viewing!!

One of the best "Noir" movies of the 1940's: Double Indemnity

Director Billy Wilder (Sunset Boulevard) and writer Raymond Chandler (The Big Sleep) adapted James M. Cain's hard-boiled novel into this wildly thrilling story of insurance man Walter Neff (Fred MacMurray), who schemes the perfect murder with the beautiful dame Phyllis Dietrichson (Barbara Stanwyck): kill Dietrichson's husband and make off with the insurance money. But, of course, in these plots things never quite go as planned, and Barton Keyes (Edward G. Robinson) is the wily insurance investigator who must sort things out. From the opening scene you know Neff is doomed, as the story is told in flashback; yet, to the film's credit, this doesn't diminish any of the tension of the movie. This early film noir flick is wonderfully campy by today's standards, and the dialogue is snappy ("I thought you were smarter than the rest, Walter. But I was wrong. You're not smarter, just a little taller"), filled with lots of "dame"s and "baby"s. Stanwyck is the ultimate femme fatale, and MacMurray, despite a career largely defined by roles as a softy (notably in the TV series My Three Sons and the movie The Shaggy Dog), is convincingly cast against type as the hapless, love-struck sap

Double Indemnity -- watched it last night. Great movie!!

Last Weekend's Viewing:
The Greatest Game Ever Played: Great movie and a true story about the 1913 U.S. Open, when 20 year-old amateur Francis Ouimet played against the great Harry Vardon. I really enjoyed this movie and find it hard to believe that I had never heard about this match or either of these guys. I watch a fair bit of golf and play a little but was unaware of this story.
Recommended.

L'Enfant: French sub-titled movie about Bruno and Sonia, a young unmarried couple, who are living off her benefits and the thefts of his teenage gang.
Very interesting to see this slice of life in France and how this young couple "survives" and seem oblivious to the "normal" life that most of us live. Did not care for the ending though.

Poseidon (2006): Another remake, another disappointment. Some of the special effects were OK, but once the story is known, it is just a matter of whether you like any of the people in the group that are trying to escape and whether your favourites will make it or not. I liked Josh Lucas in one of the lead roles and knew him to see him, but wouldn't have known his name. Kurt Russell was Kurt Russell as usual.
Not planning a cruise any time soon.

My wife and I were in the mood for some light fare last night, so we rented The Cave, a "horror-thriller" about a group of cave divers who encounter the evil that lurks within an unexplored Romanian cavern.

We expected very little from this movie...and that's exactly what we got.

When I think of "light fare", I think Ants, or Will Ferrell, not a horror, thriller.
What do you pick for heavy fare?:confused:

Or did you suspect The Cave wasn't either horrific or thrilling?

We expected neither horrific nor thrilling, but we did hope for a couple of good scares. All we got was hokey.

What do you pick for heavy fare"Der Untergang", "The Passion of the Christ", "Titus".

Well I ran across remastered 2 disk collectors edition Of TORA,TORA,TORA
for $12.00 So I grabbed it, Very nicely remastered pic and DD 4.1 sound track
thouroly Enjoyed it while the Wife was Out last Week ;) .

Good movie. They also released special editions of Longest Day and Patton on the same day.

I had to pick up Apocalypse Now: The Complete Dossier (2 disc special edition) and I'm very glad I did. For those who prefer the original 1979 version over the 2001 "Redux", like myself, it's great to get both in one set along with Coppola's commentary for each. Not to mention it's loaded with extras and at a very fair price. Sure, this isn't the first time I've purchased this film, nor will it be the last, but this is one of those rare films I'm very willing to spend my hard earned cash on again and again.
