Awww that sounds right up my street judy, I'm a right sucker for a soppy film lol! Will keep my eyes peeled Wink

Not seen Sweeney Todd yet Heather, I didn't realise it was a musical for quite a while either! Should imagine that must be close to being out on dvd soon? or is it already out?

i was joking, i don't think i've broke 1,000 (yet!!), it took me ages to replace my VHS with DVD, some aren't even available on disc Sad

but my collection is growing, though it's slowed down in the last year (lack of funds Sad

).

i know i've got around 200-250ish Hong Kong movies, about 60ish Jackie Chan films on top of that, then got all the english language flicks. if i'm really sad & bored, i may count them sometime... back in 10 minutes!! lol

aww, i see!
so you are cheating?
i thought you meant movies you had got 1,300 in original, if you're counting stuff on disc & VHS that ain't originals then i ain't even gonna start counting...

Yes, I started to watch it and was interested immediately...but then I am also into history and medieval times, especially the royals so this was right up my alley!
I fell asleep half way through so I need to watch it again from the beginning.

Looking at Brendas wwyd question she must have seen this film!....'Next' , starring Nicholas Cage. I saw it on one of the Sky channels the other night as I was flicking through. I haven't seen it advertised or every heard of it, and seeings it was half way down the listings, I thought it's got to be pretty crap, but seeings there was nothing else on I decided to give it a go.........wellllllllllllllll it was really good! (well I thought so)¬!! I even sat up late to watch the end lol...anyone else seen and liked it?

Awww not much slips by you does it Debs....yeah I'd just finished recording it to DVD. Fan-bloody-tastic I would say, but that kind of movie is right up my alley anyway woo hoo!!

Recently I said that my DVD recorder needed re-tuning in and the bloke was going to charge me $75 for 1/2 hour...well I decided to take a look at it myself......I picked up the remote and pressed the AV button...bam, I had it on...all back...all working. I am so glad I didn't get him back now.

Another movie I have just seen is called "Romulus, My Father" it is an Australian film starring Eric Bana and it's about this lad, he has probably polish immigrant parents I would think. The mother runs off and leaves the boy with the dad on a farm out in the bush country. She comes back every now and then just to torment the pair of them I think. She moves in with another bloke, has a daughter by this other bloke, shags another one in the shed, the bloke she lives with bashes her up then kills himself, then she kills herself.....geeze. The strange part is tho, that it's a true story.
It's a bit slow but you have to keep watching, although I did enjoy it. I felt so sorry for the young boy.

Anyhow, if you get it on telly over there it's worth tuning in just to see the aussie bush LOL. Oh it's set in the 1950's.

Sounds good Brenda, will watch out for it Wink

.....a few months back, The Worlds Fastest Indian was on, have you seen that? I really didn't fancy it from the write up, but when there was nothing else on we decided to watch it. It was bloody brilliant! Anthony Hopkins played the lead brilliantly, he really is an awesome actor. It was a slow paced film, but had all the right elements, true story too and if you haven't seen it I'd recommend it.

Phew @ sorting out your DVD, what a saving! lol

Yes, I have that one in my collection. AH plays a Kiwi in that (New Zealander)
I was the same Deb, didn't fancy it but it was a really good film.
We just watched The December Boys with Daniel Radcliffe in it. This was filmed entirely in South Australia and my hubb spent most of the film telling me where it was being shot. Reading the end credits we discovered that my smart-alec husband knows his areas! LOL.
Good movie though!

Another good one, if I haven't mentioned it before is on now. "Disturbia" it's about a lad who is involved in a car accident where his father is killed. A year later he is obviously still grieving, his teacher makes a remark to him regarding his father and the boy lashes out, punching the teacher in the face.
He is subsequently put on assault charges and is incarcerated on home detention for 3 months. In that time he makes some observations about his neighbours including the serial killer who lives next door...good watching.
