He didn't have like a directorial role or anything I don't think.

I'm ordering the cell now, mostly on the basis that someone who likes Chris Cunningham videos recommends the camera style in this... A little apprehensive about it though - Jennifer Lopez and Vince Vaughan?

Yup, it borrows quite a lot from Silence of the Lambs. But the main thing is those dream sequences, they are damn trippy. J-Lo looks superb in it though, easily her best acting work - you might actually be forgiven for liking her in that movie. Incidently, if you dislike Vince, this is EXACTLY the movie for you - he goes through something quite nasty, while J-Lo just sits looking gorgeous, like the most gorgeous you'll probably ever see her.

Definitely glad I bought it now, quite looking forward to that.

I'm guessing from the tone of the thread that AvP Requiem is not a total success? I might get it anyway because I need the Alien & Predator series' and they're something like 18 pounds on Amazon for a box set with those and AvP1&2...

demons breath - Does that come with all the special features for the original 4 alien films? (Aliens especially is a particularly good "making of").

Even if it does not, £18 is a bargain, so I would go for it.

I watched aliens the other night and then I watched the making of aliens that is in my quadrilogy boxset. The making of aliens is 3 and a half hours long and it makes you want to go out right there and make a film of your own.

you can get the alien films for £12 with 9 discs so that has all the features on, but to be honest I don't personally normally watch that stuff so I'll probably give it a miss. Might get the one with many films though.

Also I just realised that I have less than 400 pounds left for the next 2 months (meaning I've spent about 1200 in the last month and a half) so I need to cut back on the buying of stuff.
