There's some very interesting supplemental material on the Nosferatu moc dvd. The supernatural anime (at least the first two episodes I caught) seemed to be episodes from the series redone as anime rather than new story, and ghost hunt is like the anime version of ghost watch without derek arracor and much more entertaining! not seen Black butler or blue exorcist but I hear good things.

The ghost stories box is waiting for me on xmas day!!!

Hitchcock not worth the price after reviews. Some of the transfers are meant to be trash.
I will wait for price drop for standard release as I prefer it. Wont pay more then £60 max.
Xmas should see it drop to £70 I say as Zavvi has it for £90 currently.

Our Blockbuster moved from the town center to an awkward out-the-way location. They didn't do themselves any favours doing that. I still trek out there now and again, though - just not as much as I used to when it was more conveniently located.

[Make Them Die Slowly]

THE BEYOND. Arrow Blu-ray. A tenner from Fopp.

You can actually link your in store account with an on-line one, do the whole love film rental thing, and if you don't fancy waiting for a release to be delivered you can go into store and get it half price. You can also check stock availability on line and even just order stuff from there. I do work for them I should add right now, but unlike some other high street retail chains they are attempting to change with the times, A lot of the big chart films are £13.99 on blu-ray including amazing spider-man, dark knight rises, expendables 2, ted and bourne legacy. Given some of those are a quid cheaper than amazon I'd say its worth a look.

Bet a tenner loads of fans get insistant that the italian barebones blu of they live they spent a wad of cash importing is better than shout factorys! I dont know what it is but for some reason obscure european releases always seem to trump the uk/us releases in fans eyes at least.
