JUGGERNAUT (First viewing, US BD) - 7/10

Just watched it for the first time and was rather disappointed. With Richard Lester as the director and a solid cast in it, I thought it would be a nail biter but it turned out to be just a mediocre thriller. Not much tension delivered. What's worse, there is no music during the bomb diffusing scene in the climax to evoke suspense :(

Seeing the theatrical poster on the blu-ray cover stirs my excitement a lot more than watching the film itself :roll:
*N=New to collection :-D, U=Upgrade :), DD=Double Dipping :wink:, R=Replacement for damaged disc :-?

Bojack Horseman - Season One (Netflix) another original series from the streaming site. Quite entertaining, the first episode was quite average but they got progressively better, some really funny gags and overall a decent animated show, will definitely watch the second season whenever it hits. 7/10.

La Grande Bellezza (US Blu)
A true piece of cinema : fantastic visuals and soundtracks, overwhelming with details and ideas, a fantastic movie like no other. There's some Fellini and Visconti in this movie, probably the best that came out of Italy in years - 9/10.

Gibraltar (TV)
A good suspense story based on authentic events that occurred in Gibraltar, centered on drug traffic. Good performance by Gilles Lelouch - 7/10.

La Belle et la Bête (French Blu)
Don't think I had ever watched this French classic, shot by Jean Cocteau in 1946. Powerful story, great actors and a "Cocteau touch" make this movie probably the best adaptation of this famous fairy tale - 8/10.

Lisa et le Diable (UK Blu)
First viewing of this great Bava movie : I thought about Alice in Wonderland or Don't Look Now. Not really an horror movie despite what the title could lead to believe - 8/10

Picnic at Hanging Rock (US Blu)
One of my all time favorites, watching this absolute Classic with such A/V quality was amazing - 10/10.

9 Mois Ferme (French Blu)
A really fun French movie by Albert Dupontel, among his best not to say his best. Story of a lawyer who discovers she's pregnant and that the father is… a convict! Great actors, good story, I'm not really fond of comedies, but always of the ones by Dupontel - 8/10.

30 Minutes or Less is pretty funny. Even Aziz Ansari (sp?) is funny, and I usually can't stick him.

What did you think of Only Lovers Left Alive? I'm not a big Jarmusch fan, but this ranks up there with Ghost Dog for me - http://dvdcompare.net/review.php?rid=3369

Did you know there is a sequel to The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel coming out in 2015? I've not seen the first one yet, but really need to. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2555736/

I must say I liked "30 Minutes or Less" before but now on second viewing I liked it even more.
I can`t say that I`m much of a Jim Jarmusch fan either but I found "Only Lovers Left Alive" to be OK. I saw it on your Letterboxed list and found the cast interesting and decided to check it out. :-D
And yes I had heard a bit about the sequel "The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel".
