Depending on which girl you mean... she may be the reason I bought the movie. Because I bought the movie for the fact that Ashley Scott is in it. She played the main character on Birds of Prey... The Huntress. As well as was in one season of Dark Angel and also the short lived series Jericho. Unfortunately she couldn't save that movie.

Today I got my new comic books:

The one in the front. Don't know if she's the one you think since I haven't watch any of those 3 series.

OK... not too familiar with her. The one standing in the background is Ashley Scott.

	Son of Rambow (£8.26 at Amazon.co.uk) Stumbled across it. Looks like a nice Rambo parody. The reviews I read so far were all positive.
	Little Miss Sunshine (£9.29 at Amazon.co.uk) I saw this at the cinema. Great movie.
	The Colour of Magic (£14.47 at Amazon.co.uk) I have never read any Terry Pratchett novels, but it always seemed like something I could enjoy. So I took the less time-consuming route and bought a movie adaptation
	Alvin and The Chipmunks (£0 at Amazon.co.uk) The third movie in a 3 for 2 blu-ray bargain. I have never seen it and I am prepared for the worst. But I always liked the two human main actors Jason Lee and David Cross. Also I must admit, that I sometimes watched the animated TV series about 20 years ago and did enjoy it to a degree.

Pratchett is one of my favourite authors, so please bear in mind that my opinion of the tv show productions wavers somewhere between, "ok, s'pose' and "shit".

 

Therefore promise me that if you enjoy anything of this DVD, be it complete enthusiasm for every second, or merely an inkling it was a good idea wasted, buy one of the books!

It's worth bearing in mind that this was one of the first Discworld books and the style got refined over the years, so a good jumping on point would be The Hogfather or Moving Pictures (especially that one because it's about cinema and includes a talking dog...)

Here are a few I got recently.

Reaper Man is probably my fave book, although to be fair any of the Witches books are good(reread Lords and Ladies, Carpe Juggulum not long back and they were awesome).

	Hollow Man (€9.95 at Amazon.de) It was Amazon special offer. I have never seen this movie and I know it is not supposed to be that great. But what I have read, the special effects and blu-ray video are supposed to be reference material. So I am expecting a nice popcorn movie.
	Die Geschichte vom Brandner Kaspar (€18.99 at Amazon.de) A nice Bavarian comedy. I saw this in the theatre and enjoyed it.

Hollow Man is actually ok if you remember that Paul Verhoeven is a very talented hack! So much of the film is trash, yet he's got balls for some of the ideas. You can't ignore the man who gave us a sci-fi classic in Robocop and... something else in Showgirls. In between is Basic Instinct, which I think is underrated.

If anything I thought the last act really let it down and that was partly to do with the effects, but at the same time I can imagine them suiting Blu-Ray.

Time Tunnel: Vol. 2 (Completes the Series)

I think I will order this series, too. Never saw an episode, but have of course heard about it.

[addicted2dvd]

So far I only watched the first 3 episodes in the Vol. 1 set... but I am enjoying every second of it. 

[Dragonfire]

I got a few more DVDs.

[addicted2dvd]

Well... I was chatting with my friend today... and she tells me I can open one of the packages she sent me for my birthday today. So I got a rather early birthday present today. I ended up opening the heavier of the 2... and I ended up getting...


Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End: 2-Disc Limited Edition

I never seen this movie before... but I really enjoyed the first two movies so I am looking forward to checking it out!
