John Carpenter's The Fog

A lively romantic comedy, Flirting With Flamenco

and an amusing dark satire, Lost Dogs

Both are highly recommended.

The Compete First Season of the Fall Guy & Seinfeld Season 8. I've been waiting for the Fall Guy to hit DVD for a while so I'm looking forward to it. If you are planning on picking it up, watch what you grab. They are selling one set with the entire season & two other sets with the season split in half. I picked-up the first half of season one at first & almost walked out with it but started looking closer because I thought the $20 price looked a little low.

Die Hard Trilogy: Six Discs for

[Loomis]

Had quite a splurge recently, by my parsimonious standards:

BABEL - apparently a film fashioned specifically to appeal to Independent readers (why, I wonder, is the paper called The Independent when it's fundamentally and stridently left-wing?), but I won't hold that against it. Admittedly, it's little more than "a visual feast", but this is definitely a case of savouring at Sardi's, as Mr Benson would put it.

HOSTEL - clever, blackly funny and as gripping as they come. It's really an action thriller, and a damn good one: imagine ALIENS as directed by Peter Jackson circa BAD TASTE. Not for the squeamish (then again, it's nowhere near as mindblowingly graphic as it's made out to be), but the true horror lies offscreen, in the sickening suspicion that, if the small business depicted in the film really existed, it would thrive thanks to plenty of outwardly "normal" customers.

NOTES ON A SCANDAL - a sort of genteel FATAL ATTRACTION without the gore. Or the entertainment value. One of those supposedly "worthy" films that's actually insubstantial and sometimes downright silly. Dench is pretty good, but that's about it. Can't figure out for the life of me why I bought it, but, well, you can't win 'em all.

SUPERMAN RETURNS - the best superhero flick since Donner's Supes. And that's all I have to say on the matter.

[0024]

The last two DVD's I bought were 'Breach,' which I thought was phenominal, and the 'Blackadder Complete Series.' Blackadder is a great show from the UK and I think it is just utterly hilarious. If anyone has ever seen it or gets the chance, it is brilliant.
