DVD (pirated) cost only $0.80 each here so I bought about 80 of them about last month. I've watched a few of them I'd like to comment very quickly to get this thread going:

Band of Brothers: Excellent! Go Spielberg! I think I watched this time 3 times all over again.

White Noise: Not too bad, the plot could be better - but it's still quite fun watching it.

eXistenZ: lame... weird and close to boring in general, but I like some scenes and idea they try to present.

Saw: Good movie! clever twist and I was surprised of the ending. I thought I was buying a horror movie but it end up a thriller and what a good thrill it was!

Sleepy Hollow: Always like Depp, excellent acting, good plot! I'd like to see more movies like this, any idea?

Secret Window: hmm not my kind of thriller movie, but this one is sort of a "servitor" movie where Depp creates this imaginary character and in the end... go watch it, it's not the best but quite good.

Hostage: Bruce Willis starred in this one, and I'm very dissapointed with the plot, the story was weak and I simply stop watching it halfway. What? Bruce against a bunch of weak teens in a hostage situations?

Flight of the Phoenix: A story about a plane crashed in Gobi desert and on how the surviving crew work together to get out and survive. Fun!

The New Zatoichi: Japanese movie. A story of a blind samurai. The first good action Japanese movie I've seen since.. ehem.... The Last Samurai (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Great samurai action - japanese style - great story, this has become one of my fave after... ehm, The Last Samurai. The ending a bit "corny" though... yea, the japs movie market probably likes that kind of ending.

Ocean's Twelve: Love it. But the first is always the best.

Bone Snatcher: Stay away! I only spent 20 minutes watching it and went the disk flying to the trash bin. Bad acting, and one of the worst plot I've ever seen.

Kill Bill 1 & 2: Uma Thurman definately have no idea how to do a martial art stuff, but the visual effect, story line and the rest is great.

The Recruit: Al Pacino! The greatest of my kind of actor. Ah, I've never seen any of his movie sucks. Powerful acting, exciting story, and a must buy!

Friends: Bought the whole series. Fun every episodes of it. The only TV show I ever enjoyed.

I will limit this to movies I have seen recently at the cinema as having access to 2mb broadband means I can download and watch a lot of films (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

The Edukators - The film blurb said - "Jan, Peter and Jule are living out their rebellious youth. They are united by their passion to change the state of the world. Jan and Peter become "The Edukators," mysterious perpetrators who non-violently warn the local rich their "days of plenty are numbered." Complications follow when the vulnerable Jule ends up falling for both young men. Reckless choices result in danger. An operation gone wrong and what was never intended to be a kidnapping brings the three young idealists face-to-face with the values of the generation in power. This gutsy film from Director Hans Weingartner is an uplifting ode to youth, full of anger, hope, frustration, love and confusion. Its cast is uniformly excellent and Weingartner's visual style is an assured one. THE EDUKATORS is a knock out film experience from start to finish.". I say - damn good film, intelligent and explored each of the main characters whilst telling the story. Well worth seeing if you like modern german films and want to watch something that will make you think.

Its all gone Pete Tong - The film blurb said - 'A Riot of Comedy'. I say - Yep, it is funny in places, the music is great, and Paul Kaye is superb in the lead role as Franki Wilde the DJ who has gone to the edge and back again. This film is also touching and poigniant in places, which lifts it above the usual run of the mill british comedy.
