I'd never heard of them until recently. Are their releases of high quality, eg, nice prints, decent extras etc?

As someone else said, their two DVD release of Santa Sangre is first rate. I would also recommend their releases of the restored Wojciech Has films The Hourglass Sanatorium and The Saragossa Manuscript, which feature stunning transfers.

just been picking the carcass of Oxford Street HMV... it's in a pretty sorry-looking state

much willpower shown, could have easily laid waste to a ton on Shameless bargains alone... damn having gone part-time and having no money!

There where loads at my store, while there was only one stargate left, so with any luck it might be the same at your sainburys. I thought they might of had chained but it was not on blu ray or DVD, but Flash Gordon was a steal at £5 shame it wasn't the steel book. I really should of picked paranorman up last week as it was 14.99 compared to the 17.99 I paid today, but that was another store I saw it at, so it might be different prices at different stores

From Zoverstocks:

TCM second sight steelbook £6 (new) (My older vanilla copy went missing after I had builders in a couple of years ago. Of all the more expensive things in the house they could have nicked, they decided just to rob that?!)
Juan of the dead £5 (new)

Popped in a charity shop and inbetween a shelf of mainstream hollywood comedy crap was the ABUK discs of Tombs of the Blind Dead and Return of the Evil Dead for £2 each. As I don't own them in any form, I snapped those bad boys up.

Since last posting I have generally been buying more than I possibly have time to watch (AGAIN!!!!!) so my "to watch" pile looks like this:

SUPERMAN BLU RAY BOX (solely for the extras, £12 from Sainsburys!)
BOURNE LEGACY
MASSIVE STACK OF ANIME FROM ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO
LISA & THE DEVIL
BLACK SUNDAY
TOTAL RECALL (new version)
LOOPER STEELBOOK
VHS
WRONG TURN 1-5 (watched 1-3, watching 4 tomorrow)

And my "to get" list is still quite extensive. Must stay away from Amazon!!! Lol!

The Twins Peaks gold box is a great release. I never saw the series when it was on TV when I was a teenager, so it has been great to find out just how fine it really is.

Picked this up yesterday. Will probably still grab the Second Sight steelbook.
