Just ordered from Amazon: a double dose of Mattei with Violence in a Women's Prison and Emanuelle Escapes From Hell, as well as Riki Oh: The Story of Riki and Fulci's Demonia!

Should be a good weekend. :)

In the case of The Card Player, the cover is better than the film. ;)

Just ordered Red Scorpion Blu Ray to keep my Arrow Video collection up to date.

Turns out my order from the Network DVD sale was delivered to a similar address down the road days ago! Anyway a lovely woman dropped it off.

Classic horror TV:
Casting The Runes
Children Of The Stones
The Dark Angel

Another copy of Beasts so I can educate a friend!

Also a Blu of Albert Lamorisse's The Red Balloon and White Mane.

No boxset of The Prisoner though, it's on back order.

Also in the post:

I bought this UK edition of a film more properly titled Kraken: Tentacles Of The Deep because it was pennies, unlike the US DVD.

As it was a Boulevard release I was expecting it to be 4:3, though it is a 16:9 film.

However, the authoring of the disk is utterly weird! On my Samsung BD player, via HDMI, upsampled to 1080i it plays as 4:3, anamorphaically squeezed,but uncorrected. On the Panasonic DVD recorder via Component at 576p it plays at a correct anamorphic 16:9. And on my Toshiba BD player via HDMI at 1080i it is presented half way between 4:3 and 16:9!

Bizarre! I've never had a disk behave like this! Has anyone else? Anyhow, the upshot is, I have a curio AND I unexpectedly get to see it in its proper ratio!

:lol:

Kraken is really good.

That might just be down to Victoria Pratt's excellent cleavage though.

I have the same Kraken: Tentacles of the Deep as you, Gojirosan, but have yet to watch it. I'll try it in both my Sony DVD player and PS3 and let you know how it appears.
