- - What Have You Bought Recently? (https://www.cult-labs.com/forums/general-film-discussions/10681-what-have-you-bought-recently.html)

Can find the right place to ask this question, so can anyone help.

Shot in the dark, but does anyone have the UK blus of Paul Auster/Wayne Wang's Smoke & Blue in the Face?

Can't find a single blu review anywhere on the internet. Even on Amazon the reviews are just of the DVD or VHS!

I've said it before, but that daimajin set is excellent.

Currently having a flick through the Evil Dead blu ray.

Normally im wowed by the picture quality on blu rays, but why the picture quality is amazing on this, whats impressing me even more, is the audio quality!!

The soundtrack sounds absolutely amazing, same with the Dialouge. Truly fantastic!!

Is the Evil Dead bluray region A or B?
If I have it I'll check it out.

It's really cheesy, but intentionally so and the visuals are outstanding. It's a shame the disc doesn't have a high definition soundtrack. It's been a while since I saw it last and this is probably the prompt I needed to watch it again.

Some of you know about my project to view at least one movie from every year 1890 onwards well I've added a little addendum! Well not quite so little! Every movie that's won a best picture Oscar all 84 of them! There's a few here!

Been watching a WHOLE lot of Blu Ray goodies over the last week,which explains my less than usual visits here....

DIABOLIQUE Criterion....Superb film and transfer,even if it's full frame.

THE PATRIOT....Good crystal clear transfer in a Gibbo rabble rouser.

LAST OF THE MOHICANS....Like being in the forrest yourself!

SARAH'S KEY....Shocking account of what the French did to the Jews....

THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY....Still as funny after more than a decade...

ROSEMARY'S BABY....Criterion-the definitive edition?

BRAZIL Criterion.....Stunning job of a stunning film....

INFERNO-Koch Mediabook Cracking transfer and package of Argento's classy sequel.

DJANGO-Blue Underground....not sure if I saw this YEARS ago or not....:confused: Anyway,it's a classic and has now got me curious about other spaghetti westerns......

THE COMEBACK-Underrated Pete Walker job,which looks slick on Blu Ray.Can't wait to see the other films in this R1 set.

THE BIRDS-Part of my Hitchcock boxset....was there some dispute about the quality of transfer on this? :confused:
Doesn't hold up to repeat viewings as well as Psycho,but still a classic.

FRENZY-Again one of my Hitchcock faves...watch closely,especially in HD as the bird Foster strangles in the office breathes clearly!:lol:

I haven't seen The Birds as many times as Psycho, but I think it stands up to repeated viewings as well as Hitchcock's more well-known film.

I can't remember reading anything about the transfer being poor, and certainly I didn't see anything to complain about or which didn't meet my high expectations. I've seen all the films in the set and will probably watch them all again – again in chronological order – in the next month or so.

I think I've done that before but, as I can't remember doing so, I'll join you in your project.
