I watched Chaos yesterday, it was a very good action/suspense film. The action sequences aren't the over-the-top type that you see in most action films these days, with people jumping in slow-mo and doing in-human stunts. This is much more "real".

The film has some good performances as well as some twists that surprised me. Even though I did has some suspicions of one character from the start.

Worth a rental or when it gets much cheaper - perhaps a purchase.
I'm glad I bought it.

Not DVD related, but the movie Bewitched was on yesterday. I caught mostly the end of the film and it is as bad as people were saying. I didn't laugh once, and for a comedy that's not good. Farrell was miscast and his character was very annoying. Kidman did slightly better, but nowhere as good as EM was. Best Buy had it on sale for around $5 about a week ago and I was very tempted to buy it, not I'm glad I didn't.

Memento: 2-Disc Limited Edition

TeeJay · 24 Feb 08 :: 21:00

Memento, excellent! One of my all time favorite movies!

-TeeJay

Chnyst · 24 Feb 08 :: 21:40

4 out of 5 of those movies are some of my top favs!
Patton, Fargo, Willow, and Memento. Nice pick up!

TheCentralScrutinizer · 24 Feb 08 :: 21:42

Yeah, good stuff, Illinois. Great haul.

Slow week for me,
I picked up The Shield Season 5 and Dexter Season 1. (Can't wait to watch Dexter:D )

Dexter is amazing, I'm terribly obsessed with it. Michael C. Hall is a god.

Donna · 24 Feb 08 :: 22:44

Dexter is awesome. I am dying for season three to start.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 24 Feb 08 :: 23:06

Yeah, ring me in as a Dexter fan too. Great, great show. And you can watch it on CBS now.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 25 Feb 08 :: 00:25

I heard about it being aired on CBS. Personally, I couldn't stand watching them edit through a ton of the storyline to make it more appropriate for that channel. I wonder how heavily it's been censored.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 01 Mar 08 :: 03:47

They're not doing badly at all with the editing of Dexter. In the first ep, the only thing missing was the naughty words. And that wasn't terribly distracting, except when Doakes said frickin' instead of, well, you know. That just sounded weird coming out of his mouth. When they get to late S1 and S2, they'll have more sex and gore to cut out. But so far, so good.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 01 Mar 08 :: 03:59

Here is but a tiny handful of my recent acquisitions. I'll try to post the rest over the weekend...

deedee · 01 Mar 08 :: 04:07

omg across the universe and zodiac<3. love.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 01 Mar 08 :: 04:17

My boss was raving about ATU in my 3-year evaluation today. I think it'll be the first thing I watch.

deedee · 01 Mar 08 :: 04:33

i have the soundtrack too. amazing. its like.. love in movie form

BiggestChrisMarquetteFan · 01 Mar 08 :: 04:36

Across The Universe and Martian Child are awesome!! I really want to see Fracture.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 01 Mar 08 :: 04:45

Martian Child is the 2nd thing I'm gonna watch, Mel. And then I gotta go back and watch Once. We were talking about that one at lunch today. I think a lot more people will see it now that the song has broken out. It's soooo wonderful.

TeeJay · 01 Mar 08 :: 11:11

Hopefully I'll get to see Martian Child before long too. And Fracture is also good. Not a masterpiece, but still very well done. Tony Hopkins is always a pleasure to watch, especially if he's evil. I saw the movie twice, once in the theater and once on a flight to Atlanta. Michael Clayton just came to German cinemas this week. Not sure if I wanna go and watch it...

Did you get the bare bones Zodiac or the Director's Cut? Personally I would like to get the DC of Zodiac.

Of the ones you listed I would like to get Michael Clayton, Across the Universe and the Jesse James film. However I understand that the Jesse James DVD is devoid of any extras, so I'll wait for a better edition if that ever comes out.

domesticelefant · 01 Mar 08 :: 14:20

I want that DVD! LOL

Illinoisguy1 · 01 Mar 08 :: 19:21

Got this from the Walmart dump bin.

Got this one from Food 4 Less for $3.33

Got these used from Gamestop (Buy 2 get 2 free)

They also had Lords of Dogtown, but they had 3 copies of that so I will wait. Still on the fence on that one as the skateboarder thing doesn't really interest me much.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 01 Mar 08 :: 20:04

Lords Of Dogtown is a lot of fun. I don't think you have to be into skateboarding necessarily. And you gotta see the very weird Heath Ledger performance. Emile Hirsch is also good. So is John Robinson.
