[Mustrum_Ridcully]

Love them, that's why I'm not sure if I should give the film a try.

My Review:
I just rewatched this one. Watched it the first time when it came out. And i still find it quite allright. They have a good mix between the action and comedy scenes. And the banter between Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz is actually good. If you find yourself bored, this is actually a good 2 hours.












My Rating:

My Review:
Hm, this was a blind buy really. I bought it because of two reasons, 1, Charlie Sheen. 2, got almost for free. And the movie was actually an ok movie. But a bit weird movie for me. Guess i expected something else from it. But they made it work somehow. They got some great actionscenes here and there. And it is always allright to watch "oldschool" Charlie Sheen, when he was something.

[DSig]

awww he's still something .. just with bits of insanity leaking out

This is a fun "guilty pleasure" type of movie. 

[Dragonfire]

I think I saw that years ago.  Maybe.  Or maybe it was just the one that Wesley Snipes and Yancy Butler were in.  I know I saw that one for sure.

My Review:
I watched the first movie when it came out a while back. And i always wanted to see the sequal when it came out. And what a sequal it was! Great horror movie. Great moments trough out. And a great continue from the first movie. And from the looks of how things ended, and what happend in this one, they could make a movie number 3 if they want. I really hope they do anyways. What a franchise its turning out to be! Almost better (so far) that the 'Paranormal Activity' movies IMHO.

My Review:
Ah, what a great movie that was. Alfred Hitchcock did it again. The master of suspence. The story had me glued to the screen. It was a bit different then i expected, but it delivered big time (as Hitch always does) Again a masterpiece from Hitch. I'm always looking forward to watch one of his movies. I have yet to watch a bad movie from him.

My Review:
So, i was in the mood for some Marilyn Monroe. So i decied to finally check this one out, after having it in my unwatched pile forever. And i actually enjoyed it quite a bit. Not a "typical" MM movie if i can say that? But they pulled it off nicely. And i see myself rewatching this soon. Check it out if you like Marilyn Monroe, or just a good movie.

My Review:
Another great Monroe movie. A bit different then i expected Monroe to play in. But for me, this was actually a great western movie with a twist of suspence in it. And the scenery was actually real nice too. All in all, another great movie you guys should check out if you either like Western movies, Marilyn Monroe or just a good movie.












My Rating:







And thanks Mike for the recommandations .

[DSig]

But you didn't even mention Robert Mitchum who I think was great in this.  And with Otto Preminger .. what could go wrong.  Definitely a film to see if you haven't.

My Review:
I havent seen this one since i can remember. And i have never seen the upgrade to blu-ray either. And lets take the upgrade first. I think they did a good job. Picture and the sound is much better then it was. And what can we say about the movie? High paced action from start to finish. Great scenes trough out the movie. And Mel Gibson is actually doing a good job! This is just a great and fun action movie. Almost a classic. And this blu-ray comes with alot of great extras aswell! The upgrade is worth the money IMHO.
