The age ratings are in brackets (sorry, too lazy to remove them).

Is there anything obvious I'm missing that has been released over the last 2-3 years?

I've seen things like: Avatar, The Hangover, Triangle, Pandorum, Iron Man 2.

Is Midnight Meat Train worth seeing?

aw jeez, do you have to say LVEFILM in the title?? It's like a f***ing ad for them, and they Don't deserve that.
Couldn't you just put My DVD rental list or something?

Midnight Meat Train is ok, worth a look

If you're not a fan of Clive barker you should give it a miss. It's very faithful to the original short story and is unmistakably a Clive barker movie. I love his books and most films of his stories and I thought this was brilliant. Even vinnie jones is watchable in it!

It's a long story. In a nutshell, bad service after a few months, no new releases *Ever* and then hounding with spam once I managed to unsubscribe to them. I've tried every online rental place in the UK, they're the worst and they also gobbled up amazon's rental service which I was on at the time and ruined that too. In short; I hate them.
Anytime someone mentions in them in a big way, I have to use this gif and my blood pressure goes up. So please, refrain from naming unless absolutely necessary - it's cruelty to animals.

I don't like to disappoint. But it's not an act, it's 100% sincere. When I passed that stand they set up in my local mall earlier this year, you should've seen my hackles rise.

Blood Diamond is not very good, and I was disappointed with Valhalla Rising, it was too slow.

I recommend A Prophet and Mesrine: Killer Instinct, if you haven't seen them.

In fairness, they've been pretty good in my experience, and the opportunity to watch thousands of films online is a bonus. I saw Let the Right One In for the first time the other night.

That's strange, the last two films I've seen, Martyrs and LtROI, i don't quite know how to judge them. Positive and negatives for both, and Martyrs definitely stayed in my conscious thoughts for a day or two after watching it, but I don't quite know how to judge either film!?

Thanks Kiba, I think I've seen Mesrine listed on LF, aren't there several (or at least two) of these films?

In all fairness, I don't care about fairness.
They SUCK. END OF!!!!!!!!!!!


For your rental list, I suggest The Human Centipede. Black horror comedy, I found it entertaining. Splinter is ok too.


ps. why is Sex and the City on your list? I'd be embarrassed to be caught watching that.
