I liked Freddy vs Jason...not a fan of the Friday remake though. ;)
Nice present btw.

My Dad loves the Flynn Robin Hood, he's old enough to remember it :eek:

I haven't seen the longer 'killer cut' version of the F13 remake so it's worth a go and Freddy v Jason was fun but could have been soooooooo much better!

Ditto on all counts. The Adventures of Robin Hood is a great adventure film which looks absolutely stunning in HD and, like Bruno, I also like Freddy vs Jason as long as you realise 'it is what it is' and don't expect a genre defining film!

I also don't like the Friday the 13th remake.

is zombie 2 same as zombie flesh eaters?

I watched this last night... don't mess with John Eastland

It is indeed :)

I just cancelled my Straw Dogs pre order.
After seeing comparison shots vs US blu it looks horrid!!
The contrast boost is very annoying!

The film was called Zombie Flesh Eaters pretty much everywhere but, as Dawn of the Dead was released under the title Zombie in Italy, the distributors decided to cash in on Romero's movie by making this seem like a sequel, hence Zombi 2.

I know it's a longshot, but does Maniac Cop have a reversible cover? I doubt it. Synapse told me The Exterminator had one....and it didn't!

My girlfriend bought some BD's yesterday (which shocked me!) from Tesco, she picked up Monsters. Inc, Tron: Legacy, Cars and A Bugs Life in the BOGOF deal. Stocking up on kiddies films for the little man whilst they're on offer! Trying to avoid the "let's watch the same DVD over and over again" syndrome :D

Movietyme have just confirmed shipment of Blue Undergrounds HOUSE BY THE CEMETERY blu-ray,fantastic haven't seen this in a while + has been shipped 2 weeks early :rockon:

Play have just dispatched my Pulp Fiction steelbook. Get in!

I've put that on my xmas list from my wife & kids, she won't tell me if she's ordered it yet, I hope they don't run out!

I've received the following:

Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory: 40th Anniversary Blu-ray + DVD Ultimate Collector's Edition

The Phantom Carriage (Criterion Collection)

Kiss Me Deadly (Criterion Collection)

The 10th Victim

The postie also delivered Carnival of Souls, the Criterion Collection DVD and the Friday the 13th Ultimate Edition DVD set with the hockey mask and 3-D glasses.

Ditto! Hope to watch it this weekend.

What a great day, not only conformation of House by the cemetery blu but also the Code red NIGHT OF THE DEMON dvd both winging their way to me as i type :clap::clap: :dance: next up hopefully ZOMBIE very soon... :woot:

I've had a few arrivals lately.

Night of the Creeps - As good as I remember it and the BD looks incredible. One of the very best HD transfers I've seen yet.

Children of the Corn - Managed to get the region-free BD from Starz before it went OOP. I have a soft spot for the film and the BD looks great. Well worth adding to the collection.

My Bloody Valentine - Had to have the original on BD and Lionsgate do a top rate job with the transfer. Even the added footage looks way better than it did on DVD.

The Fly - Cronenberg's film is a textbook example of how to do a remake. Forgotten just how good Goldblum is, shame we don't see him in films much these days. Cracking HD transfer that really breathes new life into the movie.

Face/Off - Discovered it was still the old BBFC cut version, which sucks. And the transfer on this BD seems a bit sub-par to me. It lacks that HD bite that sets it apart from DVD. I have a sneaky suspicion that it's more akin to an upscaled and uncompressed SD transfer rather than a true HD makeover. It seemed to lack detail and didn't seem as clean and sharp as an HD transfer should be.

The Green Mile - I'm a huge fan of Stephen King so it's no surprise I picked this up. Darabont directs with a sure hand and the cast are extremely good, even Hanks, whom I usually dislike. Terrfic HD transfer from Warners.

Currenrly on order are:

Mr Postman popped my BD of The Exorcist through the door this afternoon, haven't opened it yet but from what I've read, it's made a good transition to HD.
When I got my Blu Ray player I told the missus I would only buy the films I don't already own on DVD, so far that amounts to one, Hobo With A Shotgun ha ha.

How much did you pay for this and where from? I'm dying to order this but don't really want to get stung for a massive delivery charge

Nice haul!
I love the NOTC blu! Sony did a brill job on this disc.
I still need to get Fly and MBV original on blu even though I own both on DVD. however I only own the barebones fly disc.

I'm off to America in a couple of weeks, so if there's anything anyone's after let me know and I'll keep an eye out for it. No promises though, gonna be pretty busy while I'm there!

Just pre-ordered the Pearl Jam PJ20 blu from HMV.com, and when I was checking out I got offered The Thing for £4.99. Seemed rude to turn it down!

When my girlfriend finds out, I'm dead.

My Criterion blu-ray of Videodrome arrived today...



It's awesome, that literately is the the only word for it. Criterion, I salute you! Dazed and Confused shipped today as well, good times!

I haven't seen this in years, is it region free?

Great film. Great BD. :cool:

Region A locked, I'm afraid (all Criterion BDs are).

Although, it's getting a UK Blu release in December.

Yeah, sadly it is locked but the whole package is just brilliant. It's my second Criterion after Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas but the first I've watched. I'm sticking Fear in now, with a can of beer (sadly no hallucinogens).

I'll have to order the UK one then, damn region coding!

Same here. Region-coding is idiotic, but we're lumbered with it, unfortunately. I'll be going for the UK Blu of Videodrome and hope and pray it's on a par with the Criterion transfer. :pray:

we might end up with the R rated cut like the previous UK DVD.
glad I got my criterion blu :)

From the Masters of Cinema Harakiri BD. Sums it up perfectly -
