Attack The Block[/B] - 2011 UK d: Joe Cornish

A revisit, this time on Blu-ray. One of the best British films of the last five or so years, in my book. Brilliantly written, superbly performed, paced beautifully, great action scene and really funny. Also deeper themes run throughout, expressed superbly. Unmissable. Bears up to repeated viewing.

I have to say ATTACK THE BLOCK is not funny at all and I wish I hadn't bought it even if it was cheap
Didn't like the character hoodies. esp the 'hero' who was a lowlife
its complete shit compared to the great HOT FUZZ

Have to agree, and glad i'm not the only one totally underwhelmed by ATTACK THE BLOCK. Probably the most overhyped british film in a long while.

The Sorcerers

Damn, Michael Reeves was good! Bloody frustrating to think how many more great films he could've gone on to make. So much confidence in the direction here, a 23 year old directing Boris Karloff

Just ordered the R1 of Revenge of the Blood Beast (She Beast), not seen it before . . .

Quatermass and the Pit: Gojirosen has already covered how I feel about this stunning feature.
It was a privelage to watch this at the cinema (especialy since I missed Plague of Zombies) for the first time since 1967 and it was a blast from begining to end. A classic.
I must get round to ordering the BD/ DVD double play from amazon.
Does anyone know if they still stock the copy's with slip covers?

I avoided that one as it was obvious oscar bait. Still don't agree with the hype for Attack the block, the aliens looked like rejects from the god-awful hitch-hikers guide to the galaxy film and had me and my mate in stitches at how crap they looked, I guess I just don't find muppet's scary. Personally I'd rather see more british films like DEAD MAN'S SHOES.

Ha, I thought the monsters were some of the better designed creatures I've seen in recent times. That mix of practical with CGI enhancement always works a treat, thought that rotoscoped 'true black' look to the fur was very cleverly achieved... and glow in the dark teeth was a mighty cool touch

I loved em . . .
