[june]

Hello All,

Anyone seen "Running Scared" starring Paul Walker? This was one of my sleepers of the year. Very voilent and the story wasn't bad.

Released today on DVD. It's a DTS DVD!!!!!! This will rock your system.

Okay, I know who we're talking about now. Looks like it will be a rental for me.

This film is a sleeper. I can imagine people going both ways with it, either loving it or hating it. Me, I think it's a very unique, original picture. It has some extremely unsettling, disturbing situations, but I'm rarely taken for a turn and this movie had plot twists which really threw me.

So, I'm giving it a big thumbs up, but with the proviso that you have to be willing to look at some brutal scenes. It ain't no Disney film, that's for sure. Although, truth be told, these days I'm a pretty tame viewer and I still loved it, so...

Oh, if you do watch it and like it, the credits I found were very creative.

[George Bellefontaine]

Wow, Keith, now you got me thinking I should maybe purchase the dvd.

[Danbry39]

Oh gee, George, I would feel guilty if you went out and did that and ended up not liking it. I will say that I'll probably watch it again today, something I rarely do.

It'll be a great lead off to the other films I rented, March of the Penguins, The Greatest Game Ever Played, and Duma. :B

You know those quotes from reviewers they plaster on the case covers?

On this one:
From Peter Hammond: "Makes Kill Bill look like Sesame Street"
From Roger Ebert: "Running Scared goes so far over the top...I am in awe."

[George Bellefontaine]

No need to feel guilty, Keith. We do have similar tastes and I have always had great trust in your comments. Now I loved Kill Bill so a purchase in this case sounds like a no brainer to me. But to put your mind at ease, I'll rent it first.

[Danbry39]

I'll be real curious as to your reaction, George.

[George Bellefontaine]

I'll be real curious as to your reaction, George.

May be awhile, Keith 'cause I"m thinking of waiting for it to come up in the previously viewed bin and just go ahead and buy it. In fact, I buy most of the new releases that way now.

Hello All,

My neighbor didn't know the DVD had a DTS track. He's rewatching it this evening.

Hello All,

My neighbor didn't know the DVD had a DTS track. He's rewatching it this evening.

Nor did I, so I'm glad you posted before I returned my copy.


George, as always you pick the smart way to do things, unlike impulsive me. :B

By the way, I've been doing a little searching and this film really has people divided. Ebert and Roeper were very split, with Ebert giving it a thumbs up and Roeper happy he'd never have to again waste two hours of his life like this.

I'm really looking forward to Duma tonight.

[George Bellefontaine]

Critics . What do they know anyway ? :lol:

[Danbry39]

You mean...you mean, no, you can't mean. Wait are you questioning the infallability of the critic gods up on Mount Olympus? No, no, no, better take it back. Thunder and lightening...you know what'll happen, George!!!


DUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Kevin D]

Watched it last night.. Ehhhh.. Wasn't bad but I wasn't blown away by it at all. Very forgetful movie for me..

[George Bellefontaine]

Finally got this. Not all that bad, but not a film I want to rewatch in a hurry. Graphic violence is really starting to bother me. Guess it's part of growing old.
