    @QsAssistant you will love 'London Has Fallen' if you haven't seen it already, Gerard Butler has several extremely badass moments in the film.

    The Sweeney (2012)
    Red (2008)*
    Rurouni Kenshin trilogy (2012-2014)

    *The revenge film with Brian Cox, not the Bruce Willis film from 2010. I believe I once saw @DarthDimi say some good things about this little known film.

    Red Sun (1971 Mifune/Bronson). Directed by our own Terence Young & co-starring Ursela Andress. I can't wait... saw it as a kid on TV and thought it was cool.

    Another heavily Bond-connected movie, Force 10 From Navarone on Blu Ray (found it at the supermarket for 4 bucks!).

    Just received Doctor Who series 9 in my mailbox today. Will watch it during my vacations later next month. BTW, I also bought this little books :

    Am I too obsessed ? Perhaps, but to each his own, right ?

    Is the directors cut the 'Straight Up' cut? So they've released it on R2 Blu Ray. I have both versions in separate releases (the theatrical cut in those old snap lock R2 DVD cases, and the Straight Up cut when it was released on R1 DVD.

    Legend - a film about the Kray twins. I wasn't impressed.

    It has the Straight Up cut which I never knew existed, @Clarkdevlin mentioned the film so ordered it immediately interested to see how different the versions are. The BD is region 2

    There are enough differences to make it worth seeking out Straight Up. And while I liked the theatrical cut, I think Straight Up just edges it as the better of the two cuts. I think it was Gibson, who in an interview once spoke of scenes (one involving Porter poking out an eye of one of the outfit goons when he enters a building, then when he goes back later in the film, he pokes out the other eye), that were cut from the film. By the time Brian Helgeland was allowed to re-cut the theatrical film into Straight Up, that scene, if it was filmed, was lost on the cutting room floor.

    Certainly think a darker tone suits the material, I enjoyed the theatrical cut though I remember thinking when I first watched it I wish it had been grittier with more edge.

    I couldn't agree more on the tones, gentlemen. And Major, I never knew there was a scene like that, but I believe Richard Stark's Parker would've done it. Overall, Straight Up is the better of the two versions, and Mel Gibson's Porter certainly is the Parker of the books. Lee Marvin's Walker wasn't, Statham's Parker wasn't, and nor was Robert Duvall in The Outfit.

    I've only read two of the books, The Outfit and Breakout, and I own a copy of both, along with Firebreak. But I would like to pick up the rest of the series. As for the films, the only two adapted/based/inspired by the books that I haven't seen are Parker and Mise à Sac. The Outfit/Duvall was my favourite, he had a blend of brains and brawn. Payback (both cuts) and Point Blank were also good. The others (Slayground/The Split/Made In U.S.A), I would group together as the ones that I didn't care for.

    The Revenant (2015) on Blu Ray.

    From other discussions about films, I guess I must be a bit of a pleb, but I found
    The Revenant, overly long, slow moving and boring in places. Yes the cinematography
    was wonderful, with good acting but I've seen it so wouldn't watch it again. Unlike the
    Hateful Eight, which I thought was fantastic.

    Went to the store again and managed to pick up a copy of London Has Fallen (2016) on Blu Ray. Can't wait to double bill this with 'Olympus Has Fallen'. I really enjoyed the 2016 sequel on the big screen - Gerard Butler was a total badass in it.

    It's arrived will hopefully watch it over the weekend, there is a directors cut commentary I will certainly watch that also. There is a lot of bonus features on this special edition, quite looking forward to this I seek out alternate cuts of films.

    Bargain Big is a good film I was looking through Tom Hanks back catalog earlier, Amazon has some deals on just rented Bridge of Spies HD for 99p. A Hanks comedy I need in my collection is Dragnet though bit pricey on BD currently.

    The local Leclerc had a BR sale, so I bought :

    Jurassic World

    Godzilla (2014 american version)

    Monty Python : Holy Grail !

    Who Framed Roger Rabbit ?

    I also bought back The Force Awakens, because on the first DVD, the bonus disc was defective. Let's hope it works this time.
