The Big Giveaway
Category: Interesting
Thanks to the amazing people at ICON Home Entertainment I have 3 big bags of Blu Ray Goodies to giveaway.
It's a mixed bag containing action, comedy-horror and drama and covers it all off for both the ladies and the gents.
Each prize pack contains:
1X Blu Ray of TUCKER AND DALE Vs EVIL
1X Blu Ray of ORANGES ANS SUNSHINE
1X Blu Ray of MY AFTERNOONS WITH MARGERUITTE
1X Blu Ray of THIRTEEN
I am yet to see them all but have watched both Tucker and Dale Vs Evil and Thirteen and they are both great films in their own right. Tucker and Dale is the funniest tale of hillbillies caught up in a teen horror film and all the teenagers around them accidentally end up killing themselves through fear of the freaky hillbillies. I laughed quite a bit in this one and actually got a copy for my own collection - well worth it.
Thirteen is a very dark film. Stupid title considering the amazing film Thirteen a few years ago about some messed up teenagers. This one has a big cast including Mickey Rourke, Jason Statham and Ray Winstone and is about suicide gambling - Russian Roulette getting messed up. Has a few edgy moments but was an interesting viewing.
Anyways - watch all the trailers below and see if you are keen to win some goodness - each prize pack is worth about $140- of Blu Ray
Have a good one!

LOU - Gone with the Wind (old school romantic)
Merryl - Wolf Creek (you scary lady you)
Andrew - White Ribbon (great choice)
Ron - Empire Strikes Back - with the most detailed answer I just have to share........
Ron's Answer:
It's my all-time favorite movie, and even with its special effects shortcomings, it still holds up today just as well as it did in 1980, and it's easily the best Star Wars movie. I could see someone making a misguided case for the first one being the best, but they'd be wrong. I can at least understand where they're coming from though, because the first one is a very close second best (IMO). I'm not saying Jedi is bad by any stretch, but it ain't no Empire.
Now, I could focus on huge things that everybody already knows about as for why it's the best movie in the series, things like how it has the best land battle in all the movies, or how it also has the best lightsaber duel (yes, the choreography was better in the prequels, but since I didn't care who lived or died or got their hand cut off, no amount of prancing around is going to make those duels better than Empire's). And don't even mention Boba Fett to me, because he stopped being cool the second he was accidentally killed by a blind man with a stick. But I'm not going to go into those obvious things, because everybody already knows about all that. Also, I'm not going to bother with the little technical flaws and goofs like the potato in the asteroid field, Luke bouncing on the trampoline in Cloud City, or C-3PO's head almost knocking a light off the Millennium Falcon. You can look those up on any number of other websites. Instead, I'm going to focus on a few of the little moments that have really stood out for me after years of repeated viewings. They may not be the most exciting parts of the movie, but here's just a couple things that make me smile every time I see them and why that for me, STAR WARS: THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK" is my favorite film:
1) Dinner with Darth Vader -
Han Solo finds out that Lando Calrissian has betrayed him when, thinking they're going to have dinner and catch up on old times, Lando opens the door to the dining room, only to reveal Darth Vader and a battalion of Imperial Stormtroopers waiting for them. Han fires a couple shots at Vader, but then Vader force pulls the gun out of his hand, sits back down, and says "We would be honored if you would join us". As a kid, I couldn't help but imagine that they actually sat down and shared an extremely awkward meal together, with Han Solo begrudgingly asking Vader to pass the potatoes, and with a wave of Vader's hand, the potatoes mystically float over next to Han's plate. I mean, there's food already set on the table and everything. There's just such a big unknown gap in the story here, where we don't know what the hell happened between our heroes and villains from the time that door closed to the next time we seen Han as a prisoner
2) Yoda Gets Eerie -
Yoda has one perfect moment where he seemingly snaps into a brief psychotic episode and gets really creepy all of a sudden. After Yoda tells Luke about all the stuff he's going to have to face down the road as a Jedi, Luke responds by puffing out his chest and proudly declaring "I'm not afraid!" At this point, Yoda's eyes narrow slightly, he leans forward, and like some previously-thought-harmless little old lady who suddenly pulls out a blood-stained axe, he says in a very quiet, almost delighted voice "Goooood. You will be. You will be." And then the scene changes! Presumably seconds before his head starts spinning around and he sprays green vomit all over the place. And as a child, all I could think was, "Holy crap! Is Yoda a bad guy? Is he insane? Is he going to kill Luke?" Yoda never does anything else remotely like that throughout the rest of the series, so this really stands out as a bizarre "what the crap?! moment for me.
