    Four stars on Variety, but in other places the reviews are really rather poor. Suspicious...

    It has my favourite action star in it, JCVD. That is all the incentive I need.
    Sure, I'm a fan of Van Damme as well. I wasn't questioning the buy, only wondering about those four stars from Variety. Something is off about that. Seems unlikely.

    I gave up on Van Damme after Sudden Death prior to that I rushed to see every film he did, the quality dipped after Sudden Death, though his recent TV show on Amazon is funny.

    I see what you mean. I haven't read the review, so I can't say. Maybe they are a JCVD fan, maybe they were paid to write a 4* review, I don't know.

    Some of his later films have been far above average for DTV films. Six Bullets, Assassination Games and Pound Of Flesh to name just 3.

    @MajorDSmythe Have you seen this one, Major? It's got Elke Sommer in it although I mainly got it for Romy Schneider.

    Yes, but I don't remember Elke being in it much, is that right?

    With all those actors and actresses in the cast I don't think Elke's part is very big. It's one of those films I remember seeing parts of it on TV as a child but not all the way through. I mainly remember George Hamilton's character being smitten with Romy's violinist character only to be coldly rejected and disillusioned by her later on. He later gets involved with Elke. Sounds like a good deal for Hamilton to have appeared in a film with both Romy and Elke in their prime as his leading ladies.

    If i'm honest, it isn't one I watch if I wanted a quick fix of Elke. As for Hamilton... yeah, well some men get all the luck. ;)

    Just picked up a copy of

    DARBY O GILL AND THE LITTLE PEOPLE (1959).

    Found it at garage sale for 50 cents.
    An amazing Disney fantasy set in a village in Ireland.
    Featuring none other than our main man.............

    SEAN CONNERY!!!!!!!!

    This is THE film that Cubby looked at when considering Sean for Bond.

    Great stuff!

    Tremors: The Complete Collection

    All six movies. The only one I'm not all that fond of is 4, though 6 is a close second. 1 and 2 are still the best.

    Even though I already had the DVD (it's pretty outstanding for DVD), I ordered Last Crusade on blu ray.

    I had the show recorded on a old digital TV recorder that broke down so had to buy it, it's a surprisingly good reboot it's criminal it got canceled.

    I know. I feel like ThunderCat's cancellation is probably why I've latched as tightly to Voltron: Legendary Defender as I have. Both are excellent retellings of their source material.

    It's a Netflix series, though the first two seasons are available on a cheaply priced, bare bones DVD release. It has a similar art style to Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra, primarily because it shares 90% of its production team with them. It's super serialized, each episode bleeds into the next and almost forces you to keep going until you've hit the end of the latest season.

    They're six seasons in, right now, with a seventh on the way hopefully soon, as the seventh season premiere will debut at Comic-Con.
