The US DVD features both the theatrical and unrated cuts, the latter is almost six minutes longer. Look here.

DEATH SENTENCE is a fairly decent, if a little far fetched, vigilante flick. Then again I'm a big fan of most vigilante films.

Just arrived... :dance:

Eight DVDs! You must be really popular with the postman, or did they come via a parcel delivery company?

Great selection, by the way.

I'm very popular with my postman... :lol:
They tend to bundle the packages at the post-office btw.

That's good to hear. My postman is used in the amount of mail that is delivered to my house because review discs turn up just about every other day along with things that I, or members of my family, have ordered.

Lucky I don't get review discs... ;)

Got my HKL Police Assassins delivered today, along with the German edition of Westworld (already got Futureworld from ebay the other day). And just back from Cash Converters where I picked up Cyclone, with Heather Thomas and Gigli, bothe for £1 each. Some miight say I was robbed with Gigli, but surely it's not as bad as everyone made it out to be? Or is it?

GIGLI is really poor. It's doesn’t even qualify as “so bad it’s good”. It just *is*.

Still, I own it. Sure I paid a quid for it too.

Knowing my taste in films I'll probably love it. :D

Seriously, I'm all for terrible films (I love HUDSON HAWK, ISHTAR and THE ADVENTURES OF FORD FAIRLANE for instance) but GIGLI's really quite dull, if the truth be told.

Hudson Hawk and The Adventures Of Ford Fairlane. Two of my favourite films. :nod:

I've never seen it but would probably pay £1 just to see if it is as bad as everyone makes him out to be and to be able to say "I've seen Gigli and survived!" The same goes for Swept Away, another film that I have just never seen but always fancy seeing just out of morbid curiosity.

That was the whole reason why I rented The Last Airbender which is truly awful and probably below dreadful! Given that people went to see that either because they were fans of the anime series or out of morbid curiosity because of the scathing reviews, I expect the box office takings for the sequel, if it ever comes off, to be extremely low.

They're both great "bad" films. You can totally understand why they were both kicked to death's door by the critics, but they're fun and entertaining, and really funny at times too. I lost count how many times I've seen them.

Last Airbender won loads of awards for things like, worst films of the yr, worst director year, even won a new award cant remember exactly what its called but something like worst pain staking use of 3d,,

The award was:
Worst Eye-Gouging Mis-Use of 3-D
(Special category for 2010!)

I love that description and it would apply to just about everything that was filmed 'normally' and retrofitted for 3-D -- Alice in Wonderland was utterly awful.

All dirt cheap pre owned:

Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky - fun movie!

Riding the Bullet - ..Like the homage to Christine.

The Dead next Door - A pretty amazing achievement for an 18 year old, but with a low tolerance for zero budget movies I switched it off before the end. :lol: The crappy sound and picture didn't help much either.

AXE - Haven't watched it yet, but nice little package anyway.

And Grease 2 ...

Hmmm

:rolleyes:

You forgot Cool As Ice and films featuring Amanda Bynes. :D

I actually own two copies of Ford Fairlane. The R1 disc for the extras and the R4 disc for the artwork.

I have them both too :lol:

US artwork is pretty poor. The artwork used for the soundrack was good, but to my knowledge, never used for any home video releases.

I know the one you mean. It was used on the laserdisc. I wished it could be used again someday, perhaps for a BD release.

She's appeared in a couple of decent films and, in the case of Easy A, one very good movie. Amanda Bynes is also very easy on the eyes which helps a great deal!

Did Fairlane get a uk video release or did I watch it on Sky? It's been that many years I can't remember.

On a different point, I've never seen these so I'll wait for you to tell me how much I'm missing!

Very true. i still need to see Easy A.

Yeah it was out on vhs here. I don't believe it was ever out on dvd in the UK though.

Was only ever released on rental VHS by Fox (in the summer of 1991). Never released on DVD here.

It must of been Sky then. Thanks for clearing that up.;)

I'm getting absent minded in my old age - that's the poster and I had that LaserDisc too. When I bought mine it was out of print and I had to order it from a specialist seller called 'The Locator'.

I would have thought it would have been shown on sky given its connection with 20th Century Fox.

Oh good Lord don't get me started! However, I have suggested that Shameless release the Village People epic .. Can't Stop The Music.

Come on, let's get behind the bid folks!

:clap:

That would explain Inferno being on all the time in the early '90s.

Hudson Hawk is a misunderstood action comedy masterpiece. :lol: That should be all you need to know. Whether you like The Adventures Of Ford Fairlane really depends on how much you can take of Andrew Dice Clay and his brand of humour. I can take it in spades.

Old mother hubbard went to to the cupboard
to give her poor doggie a bone.
When she bent over,
Rover took over
And gave her a bone of her own!:)


Shakespeare himself couldn't of put it better.

Maybe this will help you make up your mind Nos.

YouTube - Adventures of Ford Fairlane (1990) Theatrical Trailer

From Poland I have purchased:

Anthology of Polish Animated Film
Anthology of Polish Children's Animation
Anthology of Polish Experimental Animation
7 Minutes
Ciacho
Ciało

They came in at £60 for the lot. The three-disc Experimental Animation boxset is £25 on Amazon UK alone.

:eek:
wish I could and spend £60 like that on films ha ha

Any (original) Moomins on there?

I used to love the music from The Moomins .. .when I was a lot younger of course! ;)

I'm thinkin' about orderig this "triple play" blu-ray edition myself, but I don't live in the UK. Do you know if the digital copy works outside the UK? :)

@antmumford

I was not angry :) I did think you meant people who love the original would be biased so that would mean me so I was just saying. I didnt think anything of it so dont worry.
Still friends :lol:

@Amertume

Sorry I got no idea about that. Its most likely using one server to authenticate the digital copy so should work but dont take my word for it. :)
