I have always held a great deal of appreciation for Spike Lee and his films, they are both articulate and understated and are indeed testament to the power of good film. Second only to “Do the right thing” 25th Hour would have to be my favorite film from the man. Lee’s work stands equally on his ability to articulate a feeling as it does his skill in facilitating an authentic relation of the audience to the protagonists. Without giving away too much of the plot and therefore ruining the film, 25th hour is the story of choices; it is a tale of introspection, reflection and most importantly a story of responsibility and choice. Impeccable casting and a great story. Norton’s bathroom monologue is not to be missed . An interesting, exhilarating and quality piece of film without a dull moment. I hope you enjoy my staff pick 
Quality: Good audio and video quality
Synopsis: A man has one day to put his life in order before a long stretch in prison in this drama directed by Spike Lee. Monty Brogan (Edward Norton) is a man who came from a working class family in New York. Monty’s best friends Jacob (Philip Seymour Hoffman) and Slaughtery (Barry Pepper) went on to distinguished careers as, respectively, a high school teacher and a bonds trader, but Monty took a different path and began dealing drugs. While Monty’s trade has made him plenty of money, it hasn’t brought him much respect from his family and friends, and while Jacob and Slaughtery have stayed in touch, Monty’s lifestyle has led them to keep their distance. One night, Monty is relaxing at home with his girlfriend Naturelle (Rosario Dawson) when the police show up; Monty is arrested, and after a trial he’s sentenced to seven years in prison. On his last day of freedom before he goes to jail, Monty tries to make amends with his father (Brian Cox) and goes out on the town with Jacob and Slaughtery. With both of his friends facing emotional crises of their own, Monty finds himself wondering where his life took a wrong turn and if there’s any way left to redeem himself. Along the way, Monty begins to suspect that Naturelle may have turned him in, and he has to deal with Kostya Novotny (Tony Siragusa), an ill-tempered drug supplier who has unfinished business with him. 25th Hour was scripted by David Benioff, who adapted the story from his novel of the same name.

MELLOW OUT MAN, MELLOW OUT. So I thought I’d kick off with an ‘Editors Choice’ and boy oh boy do I have a treat for you guy’s. This movie, is the movie that every stoner movie wants to be, it’s the original the king of kings. I was amazed too see how underrated this movie actually was, a 6.7 on imdb is a joke and not a laughable one like the many you’d get from this film! This film has left me in tears gave me the giggles for hours and has found a cozy place in my top 5 movies. This movie takes original ideas, dips them into some mixed herbs, and delivers a master piece. So what? No not “So what?” I am telling you to download this film, roll your spliffs, get some pizza a big bottle of drink, spark the joint, and prepare for some hardcore giggles.
In another addition to films that you could be watching instead of spanking it to sparkling vampires while dreaming about all the barely legal teens venting their slightly disturbing and somewhat unhealthy fantasies upon a film based upon a crappy novel collection, comes Equilbrium. POSSIBLY the last decent film Bale did before he adopted that annoying as all hell raspy american voice for the batman movies. God I hate the dark knight. Begins was alright though, but really – is the voice necessary? Seriously. If you haven’t watched this film, add it to the queue with leon, get some munchies in and watch now.
You’ve probably noticed that the two things going on here tonight are jack and shit, so I thought I’d take a minute to post something from my “make some popcorn, sit down and shut the fuck up while you watch something decent instead of jerking off over sparkling vampires” playbook. Yes indeed, this classic is indeed a film you should watch before you die – or at least, a film that if you haven’t watched, I’ll make you see before I off you myself for not having any taste and being oblivious to the fact because you spent your whole life rotting away in front of a playstation 3. This film is like… sitting in the back of a luxury car and getting head from the prettiest girl you can think of, while drinking your favourite drink, listening to your favourite music and being given a lapdance by the sexiest person you care to think of. Yeah. It’s that good my friends, this is how a film should and is rarely made these days.
Now that the US remake of The Prisoner has ended, this is a good opportunity to re-visit the original UK series from 1967. It’s interesting to see that while the remake has been given a beating by the critics, the original series is still considered to have held up rather well even after 40+ years. Standard DVDRips are available (The.Prisoner.S01.DVDRip.XviD-SAiNTS) as are the ultra-nice 1080p BluRay rips (The.Prisoner.1967.S01.1080p.BluRay.x264-CiNEFiLE). Definately worth checking this one out, especially in 720p or higher. Enjoy!
Hey guys 
5th of November is today! Which for those of you that don’t know much about this green and pleasant land is celebrated as Bonfire Night, and is the inspiration for the film V for Vendetta. While Alan Moore was less than please with the adaptation of this work (or that of its cousin, Watchmen) it still stands as a pretty decent effort for a first feature film from James McTeigue, who can claim credits for work on pretty much every major franchise film running through the final parts of the 20th and early part of the 21st century. If you like the film incidentally, I heartily recommend the comic book, which is even more fantastic than the live action feature.
I’ve decided to crawl out of the basement to post this awesome Staff Pick, even if I do say so myself. Shaun of the Dead is in my ‘Top 5′ favourite movies of all time (along with Hot Fuzz, another Wright/Pegg/Frost film). I’ve never met anyone that hasn’t liked this movie, and if you haven’t seen it be sure to check it out.
I don’t like many horror movies, but I like comedy horrors, and Army of Darkness is one of my favourites. It has a massive cult following so most of you would have seen this, however I’m sure a few of you haven’t. Sam Rami (who not only directed AoD but also has directed all of the Spiderman movies) is going to be remaking the series, but unfortunately it looks like the awesome Bruce Campbell won’t be in the remake.
I’m a bit of a girl when it comes to zombie movies, but Halloween just isn’t halloween without one. I was actually torn between the George A. Romero version and Zack Snyders, but considering this is actually about one of the only Snyder films I enjoy consistently, I figured “what the hell.” While strictly speaking this isn’t a remake in many ways, it does have colourful, even loving homages to the original within it, from the mall to Tom Savini as the Sherrif giving the instructions to only take headshots, and as a zombie Blades. Just as much as Hellraiser is a film that got me into loving film as much as I do, Romero is responsible for igniting the spark that got me into horror as a genre. More so than hammer horror.
As ReeGed said earlier, some of the staff will be doing their staff picks of horror flicks for you to enjoy, and well, here’s mine. Stephen King, known throughout the world as one of the best writers of our time and I’m almost sure that almost everyone who visits this site as heard of him, he’s books or the films that are based on he’s book’s, such as this one. IT, is a horror that not so much scares you but has a more mental effect on you, I remember watching this waiting for Pennywise (the clown) to pop up from behind my TV with a crazed laugh. For me also, the film contains such great acting from Tim Curry, this for me, is him at his best, enjoy.
I love a good black comedy, and this last vehicle (circa. 2007) from
