    The Inbetweeners movie is really funny, but I think the TV series was funnier.

    A movie called LTK, since my UE-disc started lagging. I bought the SE-version instead.
    This has happened to DN, OHMSS, TLD, LTK and DAD.
    Except for DAD, these are movies I rarely watch, so I am surprised.

    Oddly enough, it was Quantum of Solace. I bought the box set with all the films from Dr. No to Casino Royale but when I bought it, it didn't come with QoS (does it even now?). I'd seen it in theaters and rented it on DVD once or twice in addition to watching it a few times here and there on TV but I just recently bought it. I showed Casino Royale to my girlfriend a few weeks ago and she really enjoyed it. So, I wanted to show her QoS to finish the story. We'll be watching it this weekend. It's not my favorite, but hey, it's Bond.

    The last new film I bought was also QOS. I bought the UE-case and CR at the same time in 2007, and bought QOS in 2010. I had it downloaded before that, but I want it in great quality. Plus I wanna own all the Bond films for real.

    GAMER

    I'm probably the only fan of Neveldine / Taylor. And this, ladies and gentlemen, is my new favourite guilty pleasure film. ;-)

    ^I love the action breakdown when the car is flying through the air, and this soft piano music is playing.

    That movie is SO good.

    Leon is hands down one of the best films of the 90s. Portman is cute, Reno is fabulous, Oldman is wonderful. The score is superb (and could it be that this is the score which inspired the Bond folks to hire Serra?) and Besson is clearly on fire.

    Oh, yes! Crank is amazing. Statham is ******* his girlfriend in public while talking on the phone.

    Between Leon, the Transporter films, and Taken, Luc is always impressing me. Quite an underrated dark horse in the directing game.

    The last one I picked up was the American version of 'The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.' Probably one of my favorite movies, and heavily worth the blu-ray purchase. Looks amazing.

    As did I, @DaltonCraig007! I'm just now reading the book, and I'm about halfway through and loving it. My only worry now is that they won't be able to begin the next two books with Fincher, Craig, and Mara. The last I heard, Craig and Mara were bound to return, a script was already written for the second, and work was being done on the third, with a possibility that it would shoot back to back. Time will tell!

    I want to see it so badly. I read the first book recently and adored it. You really get sucked into it and you never want to let go of it. Such a thrilling and twisty read. All I want to do now is dig into 2 and 3 when time permits me once my other reading is done.

    Ah, thanks for reminding me! This is another film that I must buy on DVD. I've had it on VHS for years.

    The Ice Age Trilogy - witness the birth of a fan


    ice-age-trilogy-%28dvd%29.jpg

    By the loving force of my dear girlfriend, I will be seeing IA4 in theatres later this Spring. As it so happens, I hadn't given the other ones a chance yet. I suppose my main reason would be my affection for Japanese anime and my related (though perhaps illogical) loathing of the cheaper use of CGI in these highly commercialized American productions. Thus, Toy Story, Shreck, Madagascar and many more high-profile CGI films, are a complete blanc on my film watching rapport card.

    That said, I've seen all three IA films now - yes, it's been a busy day - and I must say I've taken a liking to them. The first one: good animation but the story, mèh, kinda been there, seen it. As for the second film onwards: yeah, baby!

    Might it be
    that stubborn little me
    is at last free
    of being so very anti

    to these films? I don't know. The IA series, yes, I will call myself a fan. The rest...? I'm not sure I really want to sit through Shreck and the likes. I'll call it a day for now on these Pixar / Dreamworks / etcetera films... and hopefully enjoy IA 4 when it's released.

    @MajorDSMythe, some excellent choices there, sir. And anyone who's willing to give poor Ed Wood a chance is OK in my book. ;-) As for Lifeforce, with its naked, hot vampire lady from space, is my second favourite Toby Hooper film, second only to TCM of course. Pay attention to the music, sir, as you may find it to be a hidden gem as well. I seem to be spotting Female Vampire too... OK, I'll leave you be for tonight. I suppose you have certain - uh - businesses to attend to. ;-)

    - I'm a Lugosi fan.
    - Lifeforce, well for £3 you can't go wrong.
    - As for Female Vampires, it may or may not be a coincidence that it and Demoniac both star Lina Romay. ;)

    Here here, someone buy this man a medal for excellent taste! ;-) Face it, sir, you and I were born 20 years too late - at the very least.

    As for Lugosi, I'm a huge fan myself. Might I suggest both The Raven and The Black Cat, starring Lugosi and Karloff together? Not that these films always pay as much deference to Poe as the posters suggest, but there's some brilliant acting involved, especially in The Black Cat, which I would officially state as my favourite Karloff film and my second favourite Lugosi film (there's always Dracula and that one is hard to beat).

    Like Elm Street, it's good but it didn't need to be made and isn't as good as the original.
