When the ex boyfriends of an aspiring starlet start turning up dead, only these two cops can crack the case. So in other words, it’s Jet Li in a buddy cop movie. | ||||||||

|||||||||

Finally, the picks of the week. Blaine says, “go for either Star Trek: Enterprise or Throne of Blood, depending upon whether you want Star Trek or a Japanese adaptation of Shakespeare.” Alex says, “I’m going with the Criterion Collection Blu-Ray release of Throne of Blood. That is one of my favorite Kurosawa films.”
Some classic rereleases, too, including Blade Runner and the original Wicker Man.
I love the original Wicker Man.
Much better choices this week but still no real stand-outs for me. This version of The Last Starfighter appears to just be different packaging on the existing Blu-Ray release that I already own.
You might want to tag the Being Human release as the US Version. It’s obvious once you click but is still a little ambiguous in the list.
So tagged, good point.
