Watched some films--or more of less listened to them with they're respective commentarie tracks on while I was working out today:

John Carpenter's Big Trouble in Little China (1986)

Ghostusters (1984), as well as Rogert Ebert talking about the vastly underrated film Dark City (1998).

all three movies great, especially Dark City! Yesterday I saw the movie John Carpenters "Ghosts of Mars" as a scifi fan I have to say it was ok but to all others I would dissuade to see the movie. After this one The Crow (part1 with Brandon Lee) also very good movie.:thumbsup:

Got 2 Battle Royale T-shirts (black and a white one), amazing flick, really. Much better than part 2.

Awesome! Thanks for agreeing with me as you have fine taste as well. :thumbsup:

Oddly enough, I've kept my The Crow two-disc set until it get's a respectable Blu-Ray release over here on region-1. I tend to find 1990's John Carpenter sadly lacking, although I don't really hate Escape from L.A. as many do, and Vampires is solid horror/action with an emphathis on the action genre part, as long as we're not talking scary or threatening here. I own the region-free Battle Royale special edition, and I will say it's pretty good. Have heard mixed reactions to part 2, so I've avoided it. Sounds like it was good thinking.

Just got home from seeing The Boondock Saints II: All Saint's Day. I know this film has a limited release, and many of you can't see it. So I won't spoil it for BS fans waiting for the DVD to come out. First off: NO IT's NOT QUITE AS GOOD AS THE ORIGINAL. Some of what you might have read in reviews I agree with. Some stuff I think the critics slammed too hard. The story continues from the first film, with lots of flashbacks and slo-mo gun battles like in the first movie. Gone(?) is the Rocco character, replaced by Romeo--a just as nutty Mexican back alley fighter. Willem Dafoe's Smecker character is replaced by a sexy but lippy FBI agent named Eunice Bloom, who has designs of her own. This time, the brothers target the killer of a neighborhood priest, and uncover a lot of crap on the way. Most of the other major characters make a comeback, and they really amp up the rockin' shootin' and stop action scenes. You'll see a lot of redone stuff, but the almost overkill aspect of this one almost makes up for its shortcomings. I would recommend this to fans of the first film.:)

Battle Royale II is available on youtube I belive. It's worth watching at least once I would say. Just to have seen it, and than you don't have to watch again. The sequel lacks any of the satire that made the first one a classic

Just got the Michael Mann directed Public Enemies (2009), which I also saw at a muliplex this year. Very much a good film, and the best unusual Gangster film in ages. I didn't mind the camera work, which some of my relatives did, but to each they're own. MUCH better then Mr. Mann's previously film, a goofy & dangerously dull in an odd way up-dating of Miami Vice for the big screen.

Bloodshot Scott

Wow guys. I just watched The Wrestler with Mickey Rourke and now I know why it was nominated for a leading roll Oscar. Shit that movie was phenominal. I almost teared up at the end it reminds me of livin' life in this hard world. Highly recomended. :thumbsup:
