The artwork submitted (also on Amazon UK) seems to be wrong.
Mine has a PG certificate.

Pete 7th January 2011 12:37 PM

Today I bought Shogun Assassin, Dirty Harry and The Wedding Singer.

bdc 7th January 2011 12:39 PM

Nice ones (well not that certain about The Wedding Singer ;)) Pete!
I've added the PG version to the dvdaf database,they seem unsure which one is correct so there's 2 pics to choose from now.
Play also lists the "15".

It is. If you can, try and import a copy. The US blu-ray has the 80 min documentary, The Thing: Terror Takes Shape, as part of the U-Control function and plays it in small pieces In a tiny window at the top of the screen. Releases from other countries have the documentary in full.

Now why would you want to watch that in a tiny window?
US residents hunted down the UK releases because of that.

Just bought myself Creepshow 2, Creepshow 3, Hard Revenge Milly: Bloody Battle and Meatball Machine! :nod:

Great set of extras here, too - and lovely use of the original artwork.

I found it...it was cheap so I picked up that and Stargate for less than $20. I can live without the documentary as I'm sure I can find it elsewhere. I only have a PS3 to play it on and I'm sure that imported disks won't work. But I can always get it later after I watch it and remember how much it rocked.

I watched the Blu-Ray today and the transfer is incredible - Synapse seem to have an amazing gift when it comes to making a film look as good as it can be, and I'm really looking forward to more Blu-rays from them - I will definitely be getting The Dorm That Dripped Blood, which is released in March.

As for the extras, I haven't checked them out yet, with the exception of the motion comic - out of curiosity. It is a 6 minute or so take on the story told in comic book artwork form overlapped by the film's soundtrack score - a nice touch! :nod:

the blob 9th January 2011 01:12 AM

Just bought this on ebay for just over $7 inc shipping. :)

Region free too apparently...

bdc 9th January 2011 08:57 AM

Nice one!

antmumford 9th January 2011 09:42 AM

I picked up some Studio Ghibli DVD's to try and get the collection nearer completion:

Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind
The Cat Returns
Porco Rosso
Pom Poko
Kiki's Delivery Service
Howls Moving Castle
My Neighbour Totoro
Tales from Earthsea


Can't wait to get stuck into these, haven't seen any of them.
I also picked up Four Lions in that lovely "book" case for only £6 in HMV. Bargain!

My GF suggested we watch Graveyard of the Fireflies last night. It's a Studio Ghibli film about a teenage boy and his little sister in World War II Japan. Obviously a really great film, but I dont think I've ever been quite so upset by anything. It really sticks with you for a long time after watching.

Yeah I've got that one too, in fact it was the first one I bought. Loved it, and to be honest there was definitely a tear in my eye at the end :(

Good buys Ant; Ghibli films are incredible. I thought Grave of the Fireflies was a very sad film, beautifully made but quite a brutal depiction of war! Its amazing that anime has the power to stir such feelings. I think it hits home more than many other war films.

Graveyard of the Fireflies is one of the finest animated films I have ever seen and that includes everything by Pixar, Walt Disney and Hayao Miyazaki. It is such a clever and deep film that does not oversimplify things or go for a 'happy' entering just for the sake of it, telling the story of children in war-torn Japan as it probably was. I really must dig out and watch it again soon.

I also want to buy Nausicaa, Valley of the Wind and every other Studio Ghibli film that is released on Blu-ray as I don't have all of them and would like a complete collection.

Gojirosan 9th January 2011 11:04 AM

I cannot stand anime for the most part and I especially dislike the Ghibli stuff*...but Grave Of The Fireflies is an exceptional film. So powerful.



*It's the art style. I find it repulsive and ugly. So much so that - to my shame and regret, I admit - it means I cannot connect with the stories and characters, no matter how well crafted these may be. I especially dislike the emotionless faces with big eyes and few other features *shudder*...yet I loved Marine Boy when I was very little! *sigh* This makes Grave Of The Fireflies even more exceptional in my book...

I just went to town and bought a few more of them, only 4 more to get to complete the collection:

Whisper of the Heart
Ocean Waves
Only Yesterday
Princess Mononoke


I also picked up Black books Series 1,2 and 3 for only £10.

I'd like to get all the Blu-rays too Nosferatu, They've only released a couple though so far haven't they? Ponyo and Nausicaa. Spirited Away is in the pipeline.

Ponyo and Nausicaa are SPECTACULAR on blu ray! Crystal clear and extremely vibrant looking!
