Reading that "review", I recall someone here mentioning that they had synced up stuff before. Could this be the same person who wrote that "review"?
He's full of crap that Kentai. Just another self appointed 'expert' who I bet doesn't even know what daylight looks like. Or friends. He had a real hard on for Midnight Legacy (he even mentions their Alien 2 BD in that review) and was seemingly trying his best to get taken up the bum by the people who ran that company. People accuse members of this site of arse licking but he was the worst.
Daemonia and fuzzymctiger like this.

I should point out that I don't have a problem with most blogs or review sites - it's just people Mr Kentai who do nothing but criticise every single BD release.

Yes, Kentai is critical, but i think he also is knowledgeable. I don't agree with everything he says about various BDs.

Everyone is entitled to their opinions of course, but that review is vile.

Couldn't agree more. I just read this, and I don't mind a negative review as long as its professional, but this is just crude. What people seem to forget, is that they are lucky Arrow have gone to all the effort to do this release in the first place. Plus what's one individual frame of blockiness? I took a look at the Dvdbeaver reviews, and though these looked fantastic!!!

On a side note, receiving these films for my birthday will be the first time I've ever seen them. Been holding out for the Arrow release about 2? Years now. Very excited.

If he wants a reasoned debate, then post on here and let's have a debate. If he just wants to use his Blog to make bold statements and attacks on Cult Labs members, then that's a bit unnecessary and an abuse of his webspace.

Look, everyone's entitled to their opinion, but his personal attack on Cult Labs' members is bang out-of-order. If he wants to trash Arrow video, fine, so be it. That's his opinion. But when he starts insulting the members here, that means me. That means he's picking a fight with me. So be it. Bring it on. Man up and post on here and we can have a reasoned discussion. He's the only one, as far as I can see, who is hiding behind a keyboard and throwing around insults. If you pick a fight, don't be surprised if people retaliate. That's how it works, you insult people, they'll more than likely insult you back. Don't whine about it.

If he really cared, he'd post on here and highlight these issues to Arrow and try to change things, make a difference. But he doesn't really care, in spite of his many words. Certainly doesn't care enough to actually do anything about it. Just wants to piss and moan. Well, that's not something I want to read. It's not constructive and achieves absolutely nothing. If he was presenting his case to Arrow themselves I'd have more respect for him.

It's obvious he has an axe to grind with Arrow and uses every opportunity to attack them. Which therefore renders much of what he says irrelevant, because he has a personal grudge. That much is patently obvious.

What an arm-chair critic.

Why would he have such a thing for Midnight Legacy? Right there is a company who made their money (as Midnight Video) as bootleggers. I have no respect for them, no matter how good Alien 2 looks on their BD. They made their money stealing their products from other people. Says a lot about Kentai if he thinks they're admirable.
