I really rate the first Saw film with Danny Glover. The rest are increasingly ridiculous as they go along but are very entertaining. I forget which ones are which but the one with the fake survivor attending a Jigsaw therapy group is hilarious.

Although i've enjoyed them all i couldn't tell you which was which other than the second one had that needle scene in it which was very shuddery stuff.

Awesome elaborate traps that rip people in two? No problem.

A pit with a load of needles in it? Total freak out.

When I read about Andre Braugher's death, it led to reading reviews of Homicide: Life on the Street. As I consider The Wire to be one of the greatest TV shows ever made and something I never tire of watching, I wanted to buy the Homicide: Life on the Street box set.

Even though my watchlist is enormous, I looked online and found someone selling a new and shrink-wrapped box set with all six seasons on eBay for a good price, and it came today.

It's a German bd which is said to have English subtitles (I'll be gutted if that turns out to be incorrect).

Yep, the German bd has English subs. Transfer looks quite rough and dated so I'm glad that I only paid several pounds for a second hand copy.

A UK blu-ray of Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio has arrived from HMV. I'm really happy that this got a disc release rather than just being a streaming option on Netflix. btw Was supposed to be a digipack with some sort of pull out nose but is just in a standard Criterion plastic case (which suits me just fine, I prefer plastic cases).

A couple of discs from the local Air Ambulance shop. I'll probably regret getting Jonah Hex as i watched it on dvd and thought it was terrible, but the idea of listening to the score by metal band Mastodon and Marco Beltrani in HD has appeal.

Still, only a pound each.

Four films from Amazon i really want to watch over the Christmas week.

Prey which has just come out and was full price cost more than the other three put together.
