I was watching the new BR Star Wars releases last week. There are scenes in A New Hope for instance, that are gritty and untouched, the way you'd expect an old print to look that then transition to a cleaned up, CGI enhanced frame and it's completely jarring! I'd like a BR release of the Theatrical versions myself.

At least the DTS audio is a good addition.

Bloodbath at the House of Death - very funny with Kenny Everett and Vincent Price, sort of in the English version of the Airplane/Police Squad style from the early 80's.

A New Hope on bluray aka "How that hack Lucas can screw things up even more". Seriously someone needs to buy the rights off him and remove the crap he's added, remake the prequels so they actually fit with the series, and make Timothy Zahn's trilogy as eps 7-9.

Danielle picked up a 6 film Bond box set on bluray from hmv today for the bargain price of £22 saving about £90! So we'll probably watch Dr No tonight.

I think I have watched edge of tomorrow more than 25 times. It never gets boring. When I saw Groundhog day when it cane out I was like wow what a concept. Edge if tomorrow jusr took it to another level. I.was suprised alot of people didn't understand it. one of my favourite anyway.

i watched

The Roads not taken- but i just couldn't finish it. Good acting but I cant watch those depressing movies. I might try to finish it after the pandemic.

The Flu- Korean movie. Its OK. much like Contagion. 6/10 alot of over acting but some surprises.

The Islands - low budget dont bother bad movie. 2/10

Arkansas - good movie with Vince Vaughn about drugs. 7.5/10 highly watchable

Radioacrive - about madame Curie the genius. Worth watching. some slow bits but good ending. 7/10

Birds of prey- Harley quinn movie better than previous movie but it is just so predictable. 6/10

The Legion- i watched it and cant remember it was that unmemorable . low budget. don't waste ur time. . 2/10

Contagion- good (oldish) movie. love marion cotillard always. good acting and story. 7.5/10

The gentleman- i think i mentioned. good. 7.5/10

The Whistlers- big action but waste of time. 4/10 so predictable.

Torpedo- this movie torpedoed. 2/10 boring

Other lamb- i think i mentioned this one. strange good weird cult movie. 7/10

Hogar- i fell asleep it was that boring. 2/10

Bloodrush - dont bother. 1/10

Gretel and hAnsel- i think i mentioned. strange evil good movie weird ending. 7/10

Underwater - bad acting on what could have been a great movie. 5/10 so predictable.

I am now.l finishing rewatching last season of Breaking Bad. I think i have watched it about 7 times the complete seasons over the years. It is still so good.

Also for the Soprano fans, I have been watching:

Talking Sopranos on youtube. Some great stories and insights with michael imperioni and ' bobby bacala' ? and they had guest stars like 'Meadow' and 'Jonny Sac' recently and some really funny back of scenes stories. There are a few episodes already all of them good. 8/10 highly recommended. Also there is another podcast they do on youtube called Pajama Pants that 'AJ' and Meadow do with their guest stars , a sober Drea DeMatteo was on it recently. Enlightening. also very good. 8/10. some laugh out loud moments.

I knew you were a man of discerning taste! She's a wonderful actress. Love her role in Inception. Really adds some class to the film! I'd recommend trying some of her native French movies too. Some are great. One of my favourites is Love Me If You Dare. It's well worth tracking down. Dark comedy with an interesting hook.

Emily Blunt is really doing it for me at the moment too. So good in everything she does. Sicario and Edge Of Tomorrow particularly.

Looks like you've been busy. Carry on! :good:

Dark is a good series. I've been watching it on Netflix. 8/10

When two children go missing in a small German town, its sinful past is exposed along with the double lives and fractured relationships that exist among four families as they search for the kids. The mystery-drama series introduces an intricate puzzle filled with twists that includes a web of curious characters, all of whom have a connection to the town's troubled history -- whether they know it or not. The story includes supernatural elements that tie back to the same town in 1986. "Dark" represents the first German original series produced for Netflix.

love Edge of Tomorrow. And Quiet Place. Emily just hits nail on head every time.

watched

Barry Lyndon . Funny I never watched the finish of this movie last 20yrs. Made myself watch it and focus. It was brilliant. So tense. Detailed. Excellent costume. Excellent cinematography. Its a 9/10 for me

conversely , watched

Capone - Tom Hardy plays Capone. Boring. Bad directing. Many great stars in a bad movie. Dont believe the high ratings in imbd. I give it a 3/10

You Should have Left - Kevin Bacon is great. Amanda Seyfried is great. The ending was OK. worth watching of nothing else on. Some nice jump scare moments. 7/10 is generous.

Mowt Dangerous Game - Thors brother Liam Helmsworth is great. Christoph Waltz is brilliant as usual. Great made for TV movie . The plot reminds you of some other Predators movie but it's good. Ending is abrubt but you wished it would continue. 7.8/10. worth watching.

Also slowly watching

Blacklist Season 1 - Reminds me of 24? you can literally watch each chapter separately. But its interesting about a mastermine crime guru and FBI female agent. A bit like Hannibal or silence of lambs but without the flesh eating. Not bad so far. 7/10 watchable

Volition - anothet underrated low budget movie. Really enjoyed watching since nothing much on lately. A bit like edge of tomorrow and the butterfly effect , but on a smaller scale. 7/10

The Boys Season 2: So far very good. Definitely worth watching. Bad Superheros and good Villians. 8/10

Coma - Russian movie. Good CGI and great concept but the dialogue was a bit boring for me.

Tesla - if you ignore the karaoke scene it is good, if you like Ethan Hawke. 6.5/10 worth watching if nothing else is on.

Tax Collector- I liked the movie. But the ending was a bit empty. 7/10 .Always liked Shia Lebeouf

Sputnik - fell asleep watching so dont bother. 3/10

Old Guard - big actors like Charlize Theron in a movie that could have been great but wasn't great. Dialogue wasn't great. 5/10

My favourite movie is Fight Club. I love the Marla Singer quotes. Unparalleled heroine of the film. Marla Singer was a strong-willed woman who came across as being a complete nutcase. Marla was named after a school bully who Chuck Palahniuk knew in grade school.In the movie, she was played by Actress Helena Bonham Carter. She used to steal food from delivery vans and clothing from laundromats to survive. She once attempted suicide by swallowing a bottle of Xanax. After watching this film, I started writing out quotes from interesting characters. Thanks to this website, https://quoters.info/character/marla-singer , this has become much easier. It's a very unusual hobby, because once I started doing it, I started watching movies more carefully.

I am generally a very sensitive person, so if I watch a drama with some sad story, there is a high probability that I may cry. And especially if the story of the film is about animals. This is generally my weakness. I recently watched the movie "Marley and I" and it really impressed me. I was so imbued with this film. The actors played their roles so vitally that it seemed to me as if everything was happening for real, as if everything was happening to me. The film shows love, true love, man's love for man, man's love for an animal - a strong, friendly seed. Of course, the film is predictable and the ending seemed clear to me at first, but how hard it is to lose a faithful friend, emotions flooded over me in full swing and at the end of the film I cried for a long time.
[Off-topic] pumpkin00:
My favorite movie is Love Actually (2003). I recently watched it again. The script had already been forgotten over time, but when I reviewed it, I remembered almost everything. The film is very enjoyable. It tells us that love does not depend on status, on age, maybe to the same sex, maybe not reciprocal, maybe "for work", maybe in different languages. But it is all-consuming, creative, and without it there is no meaning in life. I would like to mention the role of Hugh Grant, I remember her the most in this film. And also pity Harry's husband, who was deceived. But ... life is life, and everything is shown in the film, so diverse, really occurs in reality, often evoking emotions "cannot be".

Identity (2003)

Identity is one of the good thrillers, full of twists and suspense and confusions at some point maybe such that there are chances of getting confused easily at some scenes. The plot is simple though, that a group of people due to heavy rain and flooding gathers in a motel and weird incidents happening thereafter. Anyways the climax could have been made little more better, even though had a great twist, it was not that believable.

Rating: 8/10 (Go for it!)
