£9.99 is still a tenner in my books

My Bloody Valentine (2009)

One of the very best of the classic horror remakes of the 2000's. My Bloody Valentine delivers everything you could wish for in a slasher film and isn't afraid to tip it's hat to the exploitation days of the early 80's with bloody gore galore and one sequence of shameless, rampant nudity (the hooker being stalked at the motel) it's practically giallo like in it's sleazy vigour.

For a change, a remake that arguably is better than the original.

Blackout(1985)

A cop(Richard Widmark) suspects that a local husband and father(Keith Carradine) who has recently undergone facial surgery because of injuries he received in a car wreck is in reality the same man who committed a quadruple homicide many years before.

Really thought this was a well done thriller that keeps you guessing almost to the end(some might see where its going sooner but you have remember this is from 1985) thanks largely in part to Carradine who is brilliant in his role as you are quite convinced he has nothing to hide and really is amnesiac from his accident and maybe he is innocent. In comes Widmark who has his best roles in years as the cop(from the start after seeing the dead family before him)utterly convinced Carradine is the killer although briefly swayed into thinking otherwise. Interesting and compelling especially when they show the dead family and see Widmark's expression the horror of it all in just a few seconds onscreen. The scenes that Carradine and Widmark are solid and believable. Gets a little muddle here there but I won't nitpick the film to death lol. I'd recommend giving this at an honest shot once, though for me I have seen it several times enjoying it each time.

This post is so full of lies I don't know where to start!

I've not seen the remake but the original is a remarkably dull affair.

Opinion, not lies.

And feel free to start wherever you wish.

Not if you have the uncut version.

The original MBV is one of my top 5 slasher films. I think the remake is pretty good fun.


Bullet (1996)

Just a quickie... if you really want to show off your Hi-Def telly & BD player may I recommend The Amazing Spiderman 2, shot on 35mm film(not Digital) this is one bad-ass looking BD, family friendly too, Jamie Foxx as the Villian exhibits so much CGI detail it will make your eyes bleed with joy, easily one of the best transfers I have ever seen, if only all modern films could look like this, yes the film itself is no classic but with P.Q. a 10/10 IMHO just see how good your home cinema can look...

Personally I think it's also a great film.
