I think I will pre-order it. Looks like the discount code only works on the 4K Blu-ray. £14.99 for the Blu-ray then.

Just about to buy it on Apple TV instead for £9.99 and 4K too. £24.99 the 4K disc still.

Shadow of the Vampire on blu ray - based on the premise that the vampire in Nosferatu is actually a vampire pretending to be an actor, with the connivance of the film's director. Not the best film ever made, but strong performance from John Malkovich as Murnau and Willem Dafoe as Nosferatu.

Yesterday to celebrate International Woman's Day, we watched Women's movies. The Prey followed by Jackie Brown.
My missus feels empowered. 😉

Watched last night - great film and very cleverly-constructed.

Yes, surprisingly good.
Possibly the best Predator movie ever, sorry Arnie!
Amber Midthunder is actually a Native American, she also starred in Novocaine with Jack Quaid, which was a fun movie 🍿 🍿

I was meaning Jackie Brown. Thought Prey was OK, but not on my to-buy list.

Documentary called Alien on Stage on Amazon - about a group of bus employees who usually do a charity panto each year, but did a version of Alien - and got to play it once in a west end theatre. Not an actor worthy of the name among them, but hard not to love the spirit, and the ingenuity of the special effects, given their budget of basically nothing. Typical plucky underdog story.

Ginger Snaps on blu ray - a low budget, female-orientated werewolf film. Far from perfect, but we really enjoy it.
