Maybe you should stop doing that?

Suppose. DVDs are pretty cheap though I pick according to reviews. Some terrible review judgements obviously.

... And I have a bad debt to video rentals lol.

I really liked Daybreakers, I mean it had Willem Dafoe killing vampires with crossbows and muscle cars. Not only that but it has a really nice run time so nothing feels drawn out, an awesome 3rd act, and shockingly relevant social commentary on the subject of dwindling resources. That's how a fucking genre film should be.

The plot can be picked at but there are some fantastic and subtle visuals in the film and looks fantastic for it's meager budget. I was very impressed with this.

Liked this a lot more than I was expecting to, but watching biopics of psychopaths in music is always fun. Lots of cameos from the stars of the time too (I.E. The real Jess Conran throwing his younger self out of a club).

The bit where he pulls a shotgun on Mitch Mitchell and tells him to play the song properly was fun too.

Oh and the guy on the far right of the cover is a young Richie Blackmore.

Keep meaning to watch this. Have you seen Sex, Drugs and Rock & Roll yet Urban? Stunning film.

Urban Hat€monger ? · 07-17-2012, 06:02 PM

Yeah I bought that when it came out.

Andy Serkis is amazing in that film.

He certainly is. I am surprised it is not talked about more on here.

Bought Memento on Blu-Ray. I'd seen the first 40 minutes or so a while back but never finished it.
