One of these days, my lack of sleep will catch up with me (2-4 hours a night). Until then, let the lightning pace of film watching continue, at least until I work away from home again in February.
I work away a lot but I will reply to all PM's within a few days so please have patience!

13. Battlestar Galactica #1 (French Blu)
Things get more interesting in the last two episodes, but overall there are many episodes in which not much happens. Except for Gaius, I didn't find characters to be that deep… hopefully the next season will have more "muscle" - 6/10

14. Snitch (Broadcast)
Nothing especially new here, but a rather entertaining/well-made thriller - 6/10.

15. Tower Block (Broadcast)
Uninventive thriller in which people living in a tower get shot by a sniper - 4/10.

16. Stroszek (UK Blu)
Another bitter vision of society, and in this case especially of the American dream. Alcoholic Stroszek gets out of jail and leaves Germany for America with a prostitute friend of his, only to find out life is no better - 7/10.

17. Yves Saint Laurent (Broadcast)
Not that much convinced by the movie itself, but a remarkable interpretation by main actor Pierre Niney - 7/10.

87. Saw 2 (2005, UK Blu) - 7/10 - No matter how many times I see it, that needle scene still makes me feel a bit queasy.
88. The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (2010, UK 3D Blu) - 6/10
89. The Crater Lake Monster (1977, US Blu) - 2/10

107. Echelon Conspiracy (2009, UK Blu) - 6/10 - Thought it would be an average DTV thriller, and it was, albeit with some good action scenes and a fun premise.
108. [REC] (2007, UK Blu) - 8/10
109. [REC]2 (2009, UK Blu) - 7/10
110. Underworld: Rise of the Lycans (2009, UK Blu) - 6/10 - Not too bad considering they changed from Beckinsale to Rhona Mitra.
111. Underworld: Awakening (2012, UK 3D Blu) - 5/10 - I think the franchise has run out of steam now, but Underworld: Next Generation has been announced so we'll see where they take it with India Eisley.

18. Heart of Glass (UK Blu)
Not that easy to follow since things quickly go haywire, but again Herzog sketches a harsh criticism, this time of a small village going mad. Great music from the composer of Aguirre - 7/10.

19. Grudge Match (Broadcast)
I always liked Stallone and this movie is quite funny - 6/10.

20. M (Fritz Lang) (German Blu)
Masterpiece from master director Fritz Lang. I didn't remember the ending, which deals with self-justice; just as the rest of the movie, this is brilliant and still in line with what happens today. It's hard to believe this was made more than 80 years ago - 9/10.

21. Riddick (US Blu)
I really liked the first part of the movie. As everything unfolds, it becomes really a bit too close to Pitch Black. However, I prefered this one to Chronicles of Riddick - 7/10.
