Hell yeah. Since my sky HD recording got trashed, I've only got the DVD. This is one movie I like to watch at least every month or two. One of my desert island films.

Hell yeah! After only seeing it for the first time a few weeks ago I couldn't believe no BD had been made yet, pretty shocking as its such a great great film

A That's Entertainment opened round my way recently. So I got 3 dvd's for £5 today.

Gladiator -- 3 disc edition.
Jack Frost -- the awesome killer snowman one, not the Micheal Keaton one.
Edmond -- I think it's the only Stuart Gordon movie I haven't seen, so was well chuffed to get it.

Last boy scout/last man standing.

For about 5.89 this double bill represented good value for money. Last boy scout is one of my favourite Tony scott films and has an excellent screenplay from Shane black. Still as entertaining as ever and with some great one liners the transfer to blu-ray looks good (if a little dark).

Last man standing is a flawed but entertaining remake of yojimbo set in texas during the prohibition era as two rival gangs fight for control of the bootlegging trade fro mexico. In steps bruce willis enigmatic stranger referring to himself as 'john smith from back east' who sets to play both sides against each other and make some cash in the process. Hill throws in the two gun john woo style shoot outs and Ry cooders moody score is brilliant. Theres a few holes in the narrative but I've always found this to be an enjoyable package.


Red scorpion.

Fantastic transfer and great disc. Nice to see an action film where americans are not trying to win the vietnam war single handedly. Joe zito is as reliable a director as ever. Dark angel is still my favourite Dolph lundgren movie though.

Just ordered the Japanese Blu-ray of "Day of the Dead".

Bit expensive at £52 delivered (half of that is postage) but it looks like a nice set with a few bits I must have, as I'm kinda obsessed with the movie, as some of you may know from this thread from way back.

[Limited Edition Bonus]
3000K outer case (designed by Yoshiki Takahashi)
Enclosed booklet (20 Pages) including never before seen photos.
Photo essay of Making & Production treasured snap cast
Goods Collection Treasure "Day of the Dead"
Also a brand new photo album included on the disc with more behind the scenes photos.


Oh, and what the hell is a 3000K outer case?

demonknight 9th September 2012 05:05 PM

Nice looking day of the dead package. From what website did you buy from?

demonknight 9th September 2012 05:06 PM

It's ok I found the site.

For numerous reasons, I just haven't been on the site for about a month or so but, while I've been away sorting out some important stuff, I have still been buying plenty of shiny discs and therefore (although a little late), here's last months, and a few more recent, purchases/arrivals... :)

Zombie Apocalypse (without the free comic!) - £2.50

Note - according to the case, this is the 'special edition', containing "deleted scenes (over 30 more minutes of movie), commentary and theatrical trailer", when the disc actually contains "featurette (4:23), gag reel (1:01) and trailer (0.50). Am a bit disappointed!

Anyway, todays acquisitions:

Poundland

Kaiji: The Ultimate Gambler - £1.00

Charity shops

Mesrine (Parts 1 & 2) - 2 disc set - £1.99
SuperCop: Police Story 3 - Prism Leisure version - £1.00
Bullet in the Head - HKL - 2 disc - £2.50

Play. Thing is though, I expect my steelbooks with zero defects. Even the smallest little scratch annoys me.

Basingstoke charity shop had 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre' (1974) blu-ray for £3.00 this morning

Didn't get it because I don't have a blu-ray player at the moment

Am I an idiot?

*OK - hypothetical question. I know what your answer is going to be be. Look - back off and give me a break. I'm not in the mood.

Neither the US and UK look much to write home about, but the UK one seems pretty ropey here

Escape from New York | Blu-ray: US vs. Blu-ray: UK


Especially the bright indoor scene with the prez.
