What Have You Bought Recently?

[Stephen@Cult Labs]

It matches the other 4, which i kinda liked, it's just that this one has crap artwork. Would have been much better with the art on the UK blu-ray. Really had no choice on which version I bought though. Can't stand the cover calling in Fast & Furious 5 over here.

Three videos arrived courtesy of Amazon Marketplace and eBay (all cheapies (£2 or less), particularly chuffed for Zone Troopers as that has gone for £10+ in the past.

Someone mentioned on here (or another thread) about base.com where you can get 5 DVDs for a tenner, so I did and I got 'em.
Seen three of them before (I'm particularly looking forward to watching The Hunted and The Hidden again because of the Shinkansen massacre in the former and the cool gun in the latter). I picked up Intolerance because of Mark Cousin's fantastic series The Story Of Film and In Dreams, well I dunno really; Neil Jordan and Robert Downey Jr. it can't be all that bad eh?
And Freejack - just curious to see if it was as dull as I remember

The Hidden is top quality entertainment, I reviewed it some time ago.
CINE-APOCALYPSE: THE HIDDEN (1987) REVIEW

It's on the Shinkansen aka. bullet train. I remember being absolutely blown away and horrified by it when I saw it on TV.

Will check your review after rewatching it. Want to be relatively cold as I haven't seen it for 20 yrs!

The Hunted is pretty cool, and I actually like Freejack. I was pretty bummed when it was released because there was a great still from the movie in Fangoria, showing the "entertainment" at the Industrial Revolution Club. In the film, Alex walks down the stairs and sees a large steel shutter lift at the front of the stage. You quickly glimpse someone and nothing more. The still in Fangoria showed someone being beheaded with a sword. You can still hear the crowd cheering at a certain point, presumably as the guy loses his head. No idea why they didn't use it.

I still have that Zone Troopers vhs. Tim Thomerson is one of my favourite actors. And the guy's funny as hell.
