Having just seen it, what word best sums up Battle Royale - I'm going to go with 'intense'! Really enjoyed it though

Yep very good film, hollywood will probably remake it like they did 'RING'.
Oh well the free weekend is over. Shame as that means I'll miss the film 'High Hopes'

We had Film Four when we originally got digital and lasted about 3 months before getting rid - there was hardly ever anything on that we hadnt already seen at least twice.

Having said that, I took the opportunity to record Dark Water on Friday night which we've wanted to see for a while

I've sometimes wondered whether part of the original intention behind FilmFour was so that the fledgling film studio of the same name would have an outlet onto the Digital TV platform, enabling them to make more money than they would get by selling DTV rights to the likes of Sky Movies.

Sadly, FilmFour (the studio) has more or less gone belly up because, so I heard, for every money-spinning Four Weddings or Notting Hill there were a handful of loss-making dead ducks. FilmFour (the studio) no longer has a permanent staff and Filmfour (the TV station) presumably benefits from fewer smash-hit British movie premieres than its inventors hoped for.
