THE DEAD ZONE on Italian Blu,however looks SUPERB!

English audio and removable Italian subs.

Cronenberg's snowy landscapes have never looked so good!

VILLAGE OF THE DAMNED on Blu from Germany is another lovely transfer.
Film ain't so hot,but it's a passable timewaster.

Oh and the cover is a wendecover....

I've not seen the others but from what I've read they aren't so good.
I liked the novelty of the first one and found it reasonably effective, but the endless footage of the pool cleaner, which probably took up one third of the film running time, made the second one excruciatingly boring!

Unfortunately Studio Canal have dropped the ball with this one.

Remember Arrow's appalling Tenebrae transfer first time round?

It's on a par with that....
Do you have either of the R2 dvd releases Reaps?

I have the Optimum one, but it's been so long since I saw it that I'm really in no position to comment on the AV quality – sorry.

I expect you can probably pick them up on Amazon marketplace for the price of postage.
GE is one of the worst FF films imho. I treat the PA films like you would a kaliedoscope. But then I would

Watched the brilliant WALL STREET from '87 and directed by Oliver Stone. The two Sheen's were spot on, but it's Michael Douglas who steals the show. Loved seeing Hal Holbrook and James Karen also. Two fine actors. Anyway, Wall Street is a top notch movie, probably my favourite from Mr. Stone.
