A lot of people have THE IRON ROSE as their favourite. To be honest, although I like it, neither of these titles are among my faves. I?ll still be getting them though !

I never even saw that, going back to look at the email as presented in my inbox half of it was missing until i expanded it. I'd never have guessed it anyway.

I missed out on the 88 Films release so would grab that at some point.

A film i presumed would be released by Raro / Radiance.

The 88 Films release had a transfer so bad I didn?t even finish watching it and I sold it to CEX the next day. So a new release would be welcomed.
