Videos..


Who needs them: we all watch DVDs these days... So I am sorting out all my possessions, trying to pare them down so they will fit in W's none too large house, and I decide to get rid of them all, welcome to the 00's and all that.

And then I look at the titles and work out which ones I'll have to get again on DVD: Grosse Pointe Blank and A Life Less Ordinary are the stand out ones (what does that say about my film tastes!)... but then Shooting the Past is superb and was bought for me by N&D. The Last of the Mohicans I thought was excellent, and the Big Lebowski... The Dude Abides!!!

Romeo+Juliet is amazing; Leon is one of those films you don't think much of until you watch it again; True Romance fantastic; Restless Natives... sheesh I bought that second hand, but takes me back to my Big Country fan days...!

It either going to be difficult to get rid of these films, or expensive replacing them in DVDs...!

p.s. not sure how this film choice reflects on my chances of ever replacing Mark Kermode, but I've seen the greats and critically acclaimed, and it is quirky, different and basically fun films that catch the attention every time...
