I’ve just watched Laputa-Castle In The Sky and been completely charmed by it.
What a pleasant change not to be spoon fed the usual sickly and largely unoriginal fare so often served up by Disney.
Cant recommend it highly enough, whatever age you think you are.![]()

I remember watching that film as a kid and being completely blown away. It's proper old school anime with a great story. I've kept meaning to pick up a copy but never got round to it. Where did you get it from?

Hi Dave.
I got given it at Christmas along with a couple of other movies all on a USB stick.
The stick was the present.....i think![]()

Just watched 'Devil' by M Night Shalaman.
Excellent film imho and sees him returning to issues of theology, in a similar way to Signs, i.e the boggie man in the film is not really what the film is about but a device to let MNS pose questions and possible answers. Interesting and well worth watching.

I take it you enjoyed the film then Martin? Just asking as while our film tastes don't cross all the time, I do find they are broadly similar
Besides which this film doesn't command a premium on ebay so it seems
Sounds like my kind of thing, though I'd still value your input on the storyline myself
So is it a goodun? Or at least worthy of consideration on BD
Cheers chap..

It's very good indeed, Mark, and what's more Ruth really enjoyed it last night (I watched it again with her) and she doesn't like SF.
It's based on a Philip K. Dick short story and he can do no wrong in my eyes. It's well created as I said earlier, great to watch and Emily Blunt is just incredibly alluring. A very good alternative love story with some ideas that will make you think for a while.
Cheers Martin, that's me sold at the prices I'm seeing
Thanks once again![]()

Not at all sure what I'm going to make of thisOnly bought it as it was so cheap & brand new, I reckon it was £2.24
The White Stripes – Under Great White Northern Lights
Well the stereo PCM track sounds superbAh, I see it's 24/48 so I guess that kind of explains things
