Rouge is more of a drama but you'll probably know that.
Wisely "big scale" fantasy adventure film and Long Arm a "strong cops and robbers movie".

Never seen The Hidden Blade btw.
Would imagine with some HK stuff the film stock was not always great quality. I wouldn't mind getting hold of more HK stuff myself. Just find its a matter of time and money. Usually just pick up whatever old HK legends stuff I find in charity shops.

Would definitely buy a deadly camp and ebola syndrome blu-ray (so long as it had all the bonus material on my dvd release!)

Yes materials can be a problem I imagine...that's a problem with many non HK films as well.

DDDhouse is good and cheap so maybe take a look there?

They've got a Shaw dvd sale (many good titles in there) on now and the Legendary Collection dvd's (look under Fortune Star series) are only $5,many good titles in there but pic quality varies.

They're also customs friendly (think they mark $US 3 per dvd/bd?)

They ship registered and accept paypal.

I'd also buy an Ebola bd (with the censored footage inserted back in please) if it were to be released.

That's excellent news. I wasn't sure if they would be or not.

I nearly went with buyoyo.com but their prices and shipping charges were slightly higher. And yesasia.com seemed a bit more expensive again, despite the free shipping.

Mr. Trust

Although I didn't get the opportunity to watch the concert in real time, I did manage to skip thru it, and from what I saw, it looks like it is going to be a good one

Lots of costume changes, with Gaga being wacky (as expected)

Although it's not the kind of music I would normally listen to, I think i'm going to enjoy the show

I actually for the most part enjoy Gaga's music. It's a bit of a guilty pleasure. I have come across the Monster Ball dvd and a few others of hers a few times for good prices so I've contemplated adding some of those to my collection. Might eventually do that.

Personally I normally order 5 or 6 titles at a time from DDD which should come to 15 or 18 US$ on the form.

Packaging is great as well.

Not a big Buyoyo fan (unless they have something rare still in stock),they ship from Singapore btw.
Yesasia is ok I seem to remember but I think I've only ordered there once or twice. Their stock indication is all over the place though.

Totally forgot to mention this but of course HK dvd's have the typical wrecked HK English subs which add to the experience imho.
Shaw dvd's are an exception as are the remastered Fortune Star titles,Panorama remastered releases (I seem to remember) or dvd's of newer films.

HK blus also seem to have good subs.
