DVD Collectors Online

I did manage to get some reviews posted on Epinions for some of what I watched this year.  I may still try to post about some of them here.  Maybe at least update my list.  lol

I've started working on a review of Forbidden Planet....I have decided it is science fiction horror after watching it.

Alien

Part of

Alien Anthology

Year: 1979
Director: Ridley Scott,
Cast: Tom Skerritt, Sigourney Weaver, John Hurt
Overview: The massive space-tug Nostromo glides silently through space. Back from the outer reaches of the galaxy, it's taking its seven-member crew back to Earth. But when the ship's computer receives a distress signal from a nearby planetary system, it rouses the crew from their cryo-sleep. It isn't until after the 'Nostromo' has landed on a barren planet named LV-426 and three crewmembers have gone out to investigate a huge derelict spacecraft that the signal is deciphered and found to be a warning. But one crewmember has already experienced a shocking face-to-face encounter with an alien creature while inspecting an egg-shaped pod. And so the horror begins - a horror which will end the lives of six crewmembers and alter the life of the seventh forever.

Watched: 30th. Oct 2010
My Thoughts: Decide to end my October 2010 Horror Marathon on a high. I've seen this film at the cinema and many times on VHS, Laserdisc and DVD in both Theatrical and Director's Cuts. Now I get to see it in Blu.

I chose the original Theatrical Cut to watch and have to say that the transfer of this film is magnificent. It was like going back to seeing it again on a big-screen, if a 40" 1080p TV counts for that. Colours, depth everything just looked superb even when it was dark on screen. I have to say that I didn't notice any strange effects or grain in this.

My Rating: A magnificent 5 [mr]5[/mr]

I'm on my way to start my 67th horror films this month wich beat my last year record by 15
I have some movies already removed from my shelf for today, but it's not a garanty I will watch them anyway.

The only thing who suck this year was that I was unable to find any inspirations to review the film... Goddamn white page syndrome

A lot of those movies were great and I would have like to talk about them...

Before I forgot : Thanks Jon for mentionning Peeping Tom and The Wicker Man in past, those two were really great

Good, I'm glad you liked them.  I haven't seen Peeping Tom myself for ages and wanted to this year, but I've been very rubbish at this marathon!

I'm watching my 45th movie..The Frighteners.  This will be my last one for the month I think.

I am thinking of closing the month out with "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", but as it's a rather special film, I don't know yet if I will be in the mood to watch it.

EDIT:
Nope, just not feeling it tonight (it's a rather raw experience and I want something more relaxing right now). Going to watch some special feature of Grindhouse instead.

Eventually realized that I hadn't watched a film yesterday at all yet and changed my mind again Ended up making "A Nightmare on Elm Street" my last film for the marathon.
