Any good?

I bought "The Woodsman" with Kevin Bacon.

By the way, did anyone here see "The Jacket" ?


The Woodsman is a great movie. Have to be in the mood though to watch it as the subject matter is rather heavy. Great turn by Bacon. Haven't see The Jacket.

Well its done by DePatie/Freeling and is slightly different from the series (in that, like the books, the Apes have an advanced civilization). But its also a 70s television production.

That said, its been awhile since I've seen the series; I still haven't even unwrapped my DVDs yet... :P

MIAMI VICE. So much does this film rule that it should change its name to Her Majesty the Queen! Forget Bond and Bourne - this is the most stylish and gripping (would-be) franchise flick in years.

Admittedly, it's marred by "Hewey, Dewey and Lewey" dialogue, whereby lines (often wretchedly cliched and needlessly expositionary) are artificially shared between characters, with one doing the beginning, another the middle, and another the end, just so it looks as though they're all, like, important people in the script, and so that Crockett and Tubbs get to unleash equal amounts of unutterable gibberish that even George Lucas would have rejected.... but the cinematography, music, locations, outstanding action scenes, and, above all, director Michael Mann's virtuoso command of atmsophere and suspense more than make up for the film's shortcomings. See how many in-joke references to HEAT you can spot.

Also bought the sixth season of the always terrific SOPRANOS.

With Netflix in my my life, I've pretty much stopped buying DVDs (and I sold most my collection). The movie has to be something very special for my to buy it. Last DVD I bought...The 40-Year-Old Virgin. I LOVE that movie. :)

Oh, wait, maybe it was Frankenstein: The True Story. This is a 3 hour + TV movie made in the '70s and, IMO, is THE BEST version of the Frankenstein story ever filmed.

I hope DVDs don't disapear if this becomes too big a trend.

I went out searching for Chris Cornell's Casino Royale CD single the other day and discovered that ALL the music stores (the big chains at least) DON'T stock them any more due to Internet downloads.

Don't normally buy CD singles so this really surprised me.

Indeed, Brett. What I've found is that stores that used to have seperate CD single collections (Borders, FYE, etc...) don't anymore. They hardly get any new singles in and just throw them in with the artist's other albums.

Good to hear. I've no idea why I didn't bother to see it when it came out in theatres. Could be due to the relatively tepid reviews it got over here; were they as bad on the other side of the pond? Ah, well. The blessings of DVD. Anyway...

Its been ages since I've seen it, but I remember really liking that movie from my vague recollections. My brother picked it up a few weeks ago and at first I didn't remember it at all. Now to swipe his copy and watch it... :)
