The Golden Girls: Season 2 R2 UK
I can see Aaron's happy dance continuing! i have to admit I found it a struggle to get though S2. Aside from a few brilliant eps and scenarios I thought on the whole it was pretty average stuff.


Follow Me, Boys! R2 UK
A real overlooked gem in my opinion, i definitely feel it requires more recognition and to be be as fondly remembered as films such as The Parent Trap and Swiss Family Robinson. The UK edition boasts a better transfer than the R1 too.


You Rang M'Lord? Series 3 R2 UK
The version I have has a different cover, but nonetheless it's the same old madcap hilarity. Season 3 seems very different from the first 2 as it has it's 'drama' moments and there are a couple of scenes where it's obvious they weren't shot in front of an audience as the camera moves through the set and there are no jokes.

Aw, that's too bad. I actually think S2 is one of the stronger sets, although S4 is probably the best. You sure watched it pretty quickly. Any plans for S3?

Blasphemy! The Golden Girls is anything but "pretty average stuff"! Actually, Season 2 is when the show really hit it's stride, and continued pretty much throughout the rest of the series. Of course, I'm biased, as it is my favorite television show of all time, but, it is a classic, and I LOVE the classics!

Yes, even though I felt a bit let down by S2, i still like the characters enough to give the 3rd season a chance. Not sure when though. I think I'll probably give the first 2 seasons a second viewing first, and see if my opinion changes.

Bedknobs and Broomsticks Rather good

I found it to be comparable to MST3K material, but that's just me.

Le Samouraï: The Criterion Collection (1967 - France) R1 NTSC
Had a bit of a find in a local record store that stocks a large number of Criterion DVDs, not otherwise available widely in Australia. This is a Jean-Pierre Melville film. For those of you notfamiliar with his work, and I certainly wasn't before the Festival, he is largely considered to be a forerunner to the French New Wave, making films independently and serving as an influence on many of the American films of the 1970s, especially Martin Scorsese, as well as people like Luc Besson and John Woo. Le Samouraï is about a hitman who follows a strict code is pursued by police detectives who is convinced he is a killer, despite not having anything concrete to go by. A great chase through the Paris Metro, and a gripping finale make this a bona fide classic. The dreamlike sequences, the striking features of Alain Delon, it's all there. It is easy to see the influence on other filmmakers here, especially Woo and Scorsese, but also Michael Mann, Quentin Tarantino, and to a lesser extent, David Fincher. Highly recommended.
