Hitchcock 14 Disc Box Set [DVD]: Amazon.co.uk: Alfred Hitchcock: DVD

Oh yes...:dance:



Gosh! I thought it was fantastic!

Just ordered a few things of Amazon...

- Bloody Birthday
- Hellbent
- Monsters Crash the Pajama Party

(along with Manowar's Fighting the World, Venom's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik and Al Atkin's Deamon Deciever)

Torso arrived today from Play (new cover). :dance:

that's a fantastic collection Goji, one of the best boxsets i own.

Yeah brilliant stuff for the price I had never seen several of these but THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH, IRON CURTAIN and ROPE are my favourite of his 'not massively famous' films included in this set. Jimmy Stewart was a phenomenal actor!

The Xmas haul:

Hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas!

Here's what I got from family this year, all on Blu-ray:

The Pacific
Beauty and the Beast
Moulin Rouge
Grindhouse
Toy Story 3
Fantasia

I also thought that Black Water was really good, not quite up there with Rogue (directed by Greg McLean), but a really intense horror/thriller with a 'what should you do?' scenario

Picked up Piranha as well. I was going to get the US disc but then saw that the UK disc also included an anaglyph 3D version as well as the 2D and newfangled 3D version.

Will hopefully have time to watch it tomorrow, so I'll let you know what it's like. :)

Pardon my ignorance but what is anaglyph 3D, is it red and blue glasses style?

just got given Frozen on Blu :)

yes thats right

Some nice 70s sex comedies in that little lot - the Adventures of films and Ups and Downs of a Handyman are good fun but not seen the others. ...Handyman has what must be the most irritatingly catchy theme tune in celluloid history :lol:

Yeah thats the one Inspector. Just put it on and it's watchable, that's about all I can say :lol: The sooner I get a 3D tv/BD player, the better!

Do you now own all of the Shameless DVDs, Eurosleaze? There were a great many in your latest haul.

There's a new DE blu of Running Man that is the same and I am a little put off by it being anaglyph 3D. Is it truly watch-able? I.e. Would it not be green and red?

Anaglyph is always green/blue and red...
You will definitely notice the colors when watching.

And bit of ghosting in the image.

What a wasted disk then!! Yuck!

Yeah although it's not great, it's ok for those without "real" 3D (for the time being).

I heard that the 3D TVs give headaches to people that normally dont get it in the cinemas.
Mainly cause of the size difference I think.

It might just b me but I dont really want 3D unless I had a huge projection screen 90"+, cant see meself watchin 3D on 50" tv tbh.

nice :)

looks like u will be busy ha ha

Indeed, it is a fine selection of DVDs you have there, bizarre_eye. Were they were from one person or a variety of sources?

Not quite the sleaze and arty titles recently posted, but today I bought:

Piranha 3D

Didn't bother with the BD as Brutes told me the movie was shite ... so plumpted for the DVD ... £9.99

I have watched it this evening and really enjoyed it! Daft gory fun .. too much dodgy CGI though. Why oh why do companies insist on releasing anaglyph red/blue 3D on DVD when the technology doesn't work on home TVs?

Bah!

Not really IMO, it is dark and at some points frustrating to actually make out things, doesn't really work as in - where's the 3D?, gives a headache, and generally spoils a perfectly good print of a film. My Bloody Valentine was like this but luckily provided a "clean print" on the disk.
I'm staying well clear for now.
