Ross Noble - Fizzy Logic


Ross' 4th DVD and again unbelievable value for money with one main show lasting 2 and a half hours of hilarious, mostly improvised comedy, and 3 hours of bonus shows, as well as a 30 minute documentary of his tour of New Zealand and a show commentary - basically another 2.5 hours of hilarious comedy not related to the original show!! :tup:

I'm going to see him live in concert next week in Sydney too.

Last?

Well, today I just bought THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH and DIE ANOTHER DAY in one store for $5.99 each in one transaction. When you come to think of it, I think it's time to start collecting the 21 Bond movies that had came out all ready. Don't you think? :tup:

Just picked up Dances With Wolves: Extended Cut and Highlander: the Source.

I do not recommend Highlander Source. If you thought Highlander: Endgame was bad, this new one makes Endgame look like a work of art!

I just bought a few of the 007 special edition dvds yesterday. I never bought them in the sets, I wish I would've though since they started selling these newer collections.

OHMSS was a special edition I have been wanting for a while. It's such an obscure and mysterious part of the franchise; and now I have to torture myself waiting for it to come in the mail.

Am I correct that these newer releases of 007 dvds do not contain all the cool extras that were on the special edition dvds from, oh, 8 years ago?

THE MIST


Horror/suspense done right by Frank Darabont! Excellent thriller.

The Ice Storm - The Criterion Collection


Great choice, OO0. Recently saw that for the first time (after coincidentally coming across a review of this new Criterion edition) and was definitely glad I did.

I've heard nothing but positive reviews for THE MIST, and I can't wait to watch it in the next day or so. Darabont has already turned in two fantastic Stephen King adaptations, so I'm sure I'm in for another fantastic effort.

Hope you like it, tdalton. It really shocked me like few other films of a similar genre do (I'd never read the King short story before).

I absolutely love what Darabont does when he puts Stephen King on screen. Shawshank, magnificent Green Mile and now this very different, but nonetheless effective film.

I haven't read the short story either, so I have no idea what is coming in the film as well. I completely agree with you about Darabont and his adaptations of Stephen King. There should be some kind of rule that says that Frank Darabont is the only director who is allowed to adapt Stephen King because he seems to be the only person that can consistently make great films from King's work (which, from the novels I have read, is a tough task because his writing is very layered and very detailed, as is evident from the length of some of his novels).

Actually, on a bit of a side note, what I'd absolutely love to see is Frank Darabont try adapting King's IT. The TV version was mediocre (although Tim Curry's performance is brilliant), and it could make for a great film adaptation when done correctly.
