At this price I couldn't resist double-dipping.
I would... Even if I was paid 100$ to watch that again I would say no. Almost everything done by Jim Carey annoyed me (even his small part in The Dead Pool at the beginning of his career, but that sure shown what kind of acting was in the future for him).

Of course everybody have his price, so maybe for a couple of thousand bills I could try again...

To be honest, while I was writing it, I knew that someone here will jump up and say something against my statement  :tease:

Hope your expectations are low!  :tease: 44 Inch Chest was one of the few films I felt deserved just one star and while I really liked the look of London Boulevard, the best I've heard about it is... "meh".  :whistle:

No problemo. There are no real high expectations, I was just doing the usual looking around the offers at play/amazon/etc and saw them in the play buy 2 for 15squid offer so went for them. I had previously toyed with the idea of getting them earlier after catching the trailers, as they looked slightly interesting but not I must get my order in now interesting though, so decided to wait for them to reach the bargain bins. Maybe I could have waited for a 3 for £18 or similar but haven't.

In all seriousness, I would be interested in your take on 44 Inch Chest. If you haven't already, don't read my review as it became "take no prisoners, spoilers be damned"! But read it afterwards... ;)

Today:

Dementia 13
Future film legend Francis Ford Coppola makies his big-screen directorial debut with this cult horror classic, available for the first time in spectacular High-Definition Blu-Ray.

Following the abrupt death of her husband from a heart attack, the scheming Louise Haloran (Luanda Anders) travels to her in-laws estate in Ireland, only to find herself trapped in a creepy, decrepit castle with her ex-husband's demented family. Upon arrival, she is introduced to a pair of maladjusted brothers (William Campbell, Bart Patton) and a distraught mother-in-law (Eithne Dunn), still grieving for the daughter she lost in a drowning accident many years earlier. When a mysterious axe-wielding psychopath enters the fray, leaving blood-spattered corpses in his wake, the family's doctor (Patrick Magee) takes it upon himself to try and get to the bottom of things – before it's too late!

The making of Dementia 13, meanwhile, is a tale unto itself. An aspiring filmmaker fresh out of UCLA, Coppola found work under the tutelage of B-movie legend Roger Corman. After finishing a film called The Young Racers under budget, Corman opted to use the leftover funds to finance a low-budget thriller to cash in on the success of Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho. Coppola quickly delivered a script to Corman's liking, promising plenty of nudity and gore. Corman gave him the green light.

Despite the meager budget, Coppola made the most of his resources, while employing the sort of creative lighting, camera angles, and storytelling that reveals an early glimpse at the great filmmaking that would follow.

Be warned the transfert for this one isn't really good (too much DNR)... they did a better job on The Terror and Poor Pretty Eddie.

edit : I tought I wrote it in the Corman thread but maybe I just wrote it in PM :headscratch:

True Blood: Season 1
I enjoyed this show very much. They introduce some of they own rules but mostly it's "vampires in the real world".

Season 2 was still great, but I noticed a downward trend and started to grow tired of some of the whining and moaning and the ever present sex. I just read a review for Season 3 which did not encourage a purchase very much (the reviewer showed the same fatigue as me; he clearly said the show is still the best vampire show out there though)
