The 'No More Buying DVDs Until I Have Watched the Ones I Already Own' Thread

Another 2 off my list - will need to extend my 2012 target at this rate! Watched "Ice Princess" which was very predictable and enjoyable!! and "Castle" S1 - also very enjoyable - nice to watch a crime series with a slightly more light hearted attitude!

Have started watching Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, which I was recommended a while ago - so far its very good.

Blindtoast, you are single-handedly keeping this challenge going! :rotfl:

Sorry I've been so rubbish but I barely have time to breathe, never mind watch DVDs at the minute...I'm doing alright on the toiletries challenge, though!

I don't know what's going on in my life at the minute but I seem to suddenly have time to watch things! It helps that I've caught up on all my Sky + viewing and I've just had a week off - very good for spare time!

Hope your life gets a little calmer soon!

Thanks...me too: working full-time and studying 3 nights a week doesn't leave much time for anything else!

Watched The Guild Series 3 this morning - very enjoyable!

Finally watched Charlie St Cloud last night - its something I'd read a long time ago but then missed when it came to the cinema. It was very good and I don't think it let the book down, which is always appreciated!

I've been having a bit of a movie marathon this week and have watched another 4 of my unwatched dvds! The Breakfast Club, Weird Science, 40 days and 40 nights and Cypher.

This has meant my book reading has suffered a bit but at least I'm working through one pile!

Watched another DVD on Friday - Hard Rain. Was pretty good. That takes me almost to halfway on my 2012 target! Think i'm going to need to increase it soon!

Have decided to read more this week though so hopefully I'll be able to tick off a book or two instead

Watched 2 more DVDs last week taking me above the half way mark of my 2012 target! :j

Watched Invictus - which I really enjoyed. It was a birthday present from about 2 years ago and I'd just never gotten around to it. I found it particularly interesting because that was the 1st major rugby tournament that I remember watching but was too young to understand the significance of the Spring Boks winning - so it was nice to see the history of it all.

Also watched The kids are alright. Which I did enjoy but not as much as I thought I would - it was less cheerful than I expected it to be.

I'm about half way through Dexter S5 now as well - we're watching that pretty quickly so it should be finished soon. Need to get back to watchng Studio 60 as I've neglected it in the last few weeks.
