Below average spying/thriller movie... not worth watching - 4/10
Homeland: Season 3 (TV)
I found the first season very disappointing, but the second one was excellent and this third, after a "slow start" gets more and more interesting until a great finale - 8/10.

Yeah, the plot makes little sense, but I still bought it for my collection.
Fright Night 2: New Blood

Just brilliant, this is the kind of daring movie I love. For me, it's easily the best sci-fi movie of the 10s' so far, and maybe of this century - 9/10
Cloud Atlas [UK Blu], very interesting indeed. Though many will consider it to be a mess.
Vincent_Bouche wrote:L'Atalante (US Blu)
1934 French movie telling the story of a young married couple that goes off on a barge called L'Atalante. Often considered to be among the greatest French films ever made, this is funny and touching - 8/10

Do you feel if Streep and Roberts deserved their Oscar nominations - and more importantly, do you think they should have won? Have not seen it yet, but just wonder.

It was enjoyable, but cannot agree it being the best scifi of the century. As for reports of it being a "mess" (I found it ok and not difficult to follow or understand), apparently the book was also similarly structured - so the problems may stem from the source. Have not read the book myself, but here's some book reviewers views ( http://www.abc.net.au/tv/firsttuesday/s3317893.htm , which has the show's video segment and its transcript - for anyone interested).
Question for both of you: Were the bluray's extras any good, or mostly EPK fluff?
Skyfall (French Blu)
One of the best, if not the best (Casino Royale ?) among the "new wave" of James Bond movies
Dead Man Down (TV)
Pretty good thriller with Noomi Rapace and Colin Farrell, both searching to achieve their own vengeance - 7/10

I've enjoyed only certain parts. Not as a whole piece of cinema. 6/10

Very realistic, how US laws suck and do no justice for their existance at all. And how nobody cares if an innocent man gets executed...
One day I'll post the specs of my disc.
Well... what country has laws that doesn't discriminate against some of their citizens? The one thing I know for sure (regardless of where you live in the world) is that with $ comes influence and connections, and that brings a certain type of immunity from law or authorities. Whether you live in Russia, US, China, elsewhere in Asia, Africa, Europe, Australia, Central/South America... every place there has its advantaged and disadvantaged in law, regardless what the propaganda says. Regardless of where you live, if you're poor you will have problems if the authorities decide you're a person of interest. And it's not just today - it's been like that since people decided to come together and form a society.
