What Films Have You Watched This Week - The Sequel.

[kryss]

Enjoyed Yes Man, then started Premature. Surprised to see it on Netflix so fast but I'm not complaining. Only got in the first 20 mins or so before leaving for work, not bad up to there, but I can already see

->Open Spoiler<-

to break the loop he has to sleep with Gabriella

. Fairly easy to spot that. Like Groundhog Day but with more sex talk.

The Interview
Well, half of it. Despite the fuss it was mostly on the basis of quite enjoying This Is The End however Interview is just outright appalling. Not in terms of controversy, it's just a low effort affair without any humour. Pretty much just a showcase for Franco who seems to mistakingly think he's funny rather than simply being in a comedy with funny people. Mind numbing.

I thought it was hilarious.

You just hate us cuz you ain't us.

I thought it was great, some really funny moments.

Watched Inception last night. I had never seen it. I really liked it but may have missed something in my understanding of the limbo concept. A really great cast.

Premature ended as I predicted. Watched knights of badassdom and enjoyed it for the nonsense it was. Have a ton of romcoms in my list on Netflix to watch before I go back to school on Monday now.

The Raid 2 again. Just .... Unbelievable. Incredible choreography and stuntwork, with brutal violence. So many decent-length cuts, too. The perfect antidote to snap-editing shaki-cut crap. The best MA action film in years.

Saw Big Hero 6 last weekend. Loved. Every. Minute. 'Nuff said.

American Sniper

Good film but it moves at a very fast pace, cooper is excellent as the lovable big american dude.

Does anybody have any suggestions of websites that list the extra features of films and comparisons of the different versions?

I keep wanting to buy stuff but never know what's on them.
Dawn of the Dead - the latest version has more extras but no Romero commentary, I think.
Assault on Precinct 13 - remastered in 2005 but no Carpenter commentary, I think. US-only Collector's Edition does.
Halloween III - Only the US version gets a commentary.

A shot of the back of the box would be really useful, but Amazon winds me up by having two images - one of the front cover and another of the front at a slight angle!

I used to use this site a lot for that info but haven't used it in a few years so I don't know if it's still good: http://www.dvdcompare.net

Perfect, thanks Dogg.

I can't understand why the new UK Arrow release of Day of the Dead chucks in a load of extras but drops Romero's commentary.

I could've sworn there was a UK release of Precinct 13 with Carpenter's commentary. I nearly bid on a copy on eBay but there's nothing on it despite being remastered when the remake came out. The Optimum release has the commentary, so I'll look for that instead.

I used to use this. Looks awful but it's very in-depth:

Has screenshots and stuff like that along with typical comparisons, like cuts.

[PaTaito]

used both for years.

dvdbeaver is fantastic.

The Fourth Kind.

Hands down the most depressing film I've ever seen in my life.

watched about 3/4 of 'The Family' (deniro) and finger hovered over the stop button several times - is it just me or are films getting worse?
