If I hadn't seen a segment that 60 Minutes had done on Thorson back before I saw the film, my viewpoint might have been nullified. But seeing him in real life, and then watching McQueen, who has a smoking wife in the film, I found just too unbelievable.

Some of you might remember a couple of months back, I was lucky enough to win the monthly review competition at http://www.find-dvd.co.uk/ with The Hurt Locker.

Well. Erm...  :bag:

I've done it again.  :suicide: http://www.find-dvd.co.uk/news.aspx?news=640

Do you think they'd award that prize to someone living in Region 1? Or do you have to be a UK native?

Thank you! I never win anything, yet I couldn't choose a better prize. To fund my addiction for the year is just awesome! And right after my birthday too. :cheers:

I said last time some of you should try it, but I really think it will be limited to UK entrants. While I can't see anything to say otherwise, and the prize wouldn't be restricted, plus they do search Region 1 titles, they market, compare and promote Region 2.

Have you even seen Sherlock Holmes? I wouldn't have thought it was your cup of tea from any angle, but there's incalculably more talent involved and I enjoyed it, even if the net result was a bit dumb. Key difference is, one film was trying to be clever and shot itself in the foot. And it wasn't Holmes.

Actually, no. ;) But I have it on my wishlist and expect something entertaining on the level of the "Iron Man" movie. I even remember posting about it in the "Must-see Movies" thread after reading an early review.

Well, that was a turd that even RDJ couldn't save.

Sebastien haven't update the review list for quite a while. I think he is really busy these days.
