Far superior to the TV series. Though I still have a soft spot for that.

I only really bought it because it was very cheap and I've never seen the film.

Finally got around to ordering The Friends of Eddie Coyle. Been after it for ages and with planetaxels free shipping was a price I was happy with. Also bought the Tim Roth film No Way Home which I thought was brilliant when I saw it on video back in the 90s. It only cost a penny and I don't know what the transfers like but at the price I can't complain.

Have myself a Bleach fest ahead!

THE LEGEND OF HELL HOUSE was brilliant. It really is one of the best 'haunted house' movies, with loads of weird camera angles and atmosphere. Brilliant cast and house + superb ending. Koch's release was also good in terms of PQ. It wasn't mind-blowing but sharpness was overall decent especially with close-ups and outdoor scenes. Image & grain were stable and very light throughout + no specks on the print. Only 1 scene stood out as a really bad exception with loads of noise, but aside from that I was pretty happy. I'd give it 3/5 transfer wise and 5/5 for the film itself.

Going to watch Ugetsu Monagatari again now. Don't usually do this but I liked it so much yesterday I feel I need to see it again.

In other new's Japan's DVD busines has gone bust!

Completely agree with your assessment of The Legend of Hell House, mate. :nod:

I also have the Koch BD, and it does look very nice indeed!

I've got a few of these and the two that really show the format are Alien and Apocalypto - incredible. My vote for all time mind blowing picture quality is The Skin I Live In - it's like looking in a mirror. I loved Taxi Driver too, among 100 others...

I haven't seen it, but Green Snake is supposed to be a great film.

first off, about the Film Noir boxset, it's a cracking collection of films for the price, my only problem with it is that The Big Steal is the colourised version and unfortunately takes away the PQ, other than that it's a great set, my faves were The Killers, and This Gun For Hire. The opening scene set in a diner in The Killers was definitely an influence of Tarantino.

Anyways, went a bit blu-ray crazy today, what with Axel's free shipping and a rather likeable chunk of money appearing in my account...

Needed a doctor who fix and ordered

Doctor Who: New Beginnings(Keeper of Trakken/Logopolis/Castravolva)

Doctor Who: Deadly Assassin

I've wanted the return of the master trilogy for awhile. Deadly Assassin is one of my personal all-time favorite episodes up there with Genesis of the Daleks.

Best Buy

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea - Season 1, Volume 1 (1964)
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea - Season 1, Volume 2 (1965)

On sale for $9.99 each. I really dug this series when I was a kid and I hope they hold up.

Samurai Princess (2009) $4.99

This was a blind buy but it looks interesting.

Great buys. Future Shop had a sale here last year and I have the first 3 seasons.

Yeah I really hope the Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea hold up better then Lost in Space did.

I tried to watch a few episodes of Lost in Space from the second season and I couldn't make it through one episode.

Lost in Space has a huge cheese factor. The biggest difference is that Voyage like Man from Uncle started as a heavy spy/cold war type of feel. First season is black and white and was more serious and considered higher quality than the later camp seasons.

I personally like both but from what you say you made the right buy. The first season holds up pretty well and it has a great cast and guests as well.

might get the skin i live in then :)

last night i watched the signal again but this time on BD, to be honest i couldnt
really see much difference from the dvd , anyone else noticed this?

Ordered the original My Bloody Valentine blu-ray from Planet Axel. Apparently it's out of print already, but Axel says it's available from their supplier.....we shall see!

Yes,that's the only problem with the set.I don't like colourised movies and that made me to rate the movie lower

Colorized film noir is not good. I've stuck with the r1 Warner film noir sets. Really top quality stuff.

It is if you like the Tsui Hark films of the 90's and Maggie Cheung or Joey Wong (or both)... ;)

Green Snake (Ching Se) (

Do you think it'll stay in stock for another 30 days?

I got an update this morning saying stock was being verified with the supplier. Tbh, i'm expecting another enail to say there are none.

While I haven't watched the BD yet the DVD had pretty bad PQ and after looking at screenshots online the difference looked night and day to me which is why I bought the Blu straight away. I may watch the Blu today then and see what I think

Maybe if I had seenthem side by side I would notice and maybe its becuase I was so blown away by I saw the devil that this didn't seem as good for quality. Where do you looks at screenshots for comparrison ?

BDC:

Japanese people are rioting because all their dvds are sold out in every shop and they are saying you are their #1 man on their hit list :nod:

Uhm I have nothing to do with that,only bought a few Hong Kong dvd's. ;)

I haven't had many new arrivals or orders, but did receive Gremlins 2: The New Batch from Planet Axel a week before it was released (it's out on Monday) and the two Masters of Cinema dual format Japanese films Sansho Dayu and Ugetsu Monagatari.

Do people not just turn the colour off on their telly when presented with a colourised film?

I'm sure what the problem is...

I watched the colourised version of Plan 9 from Outer Space last night and, because I had only seen it in black and white, was expecting the worst. I was therefore pleasantly surprised by how well the film looks in colour and how the colour effects were used, with one alien momentarily turning green after being punched!

Usually, if something was shot in monochrome, it was done for aesthetic reasons and looks horrible when 'coloured in' by a computer program.

I never bother even trying. If something is colourised I just turn down the colour and watch it in b&w.

Just as I am saying relatively little has been delivered recently, the postie brought these BDs:

I need all of these, except for the ...Dragon Tattoo remake.

I've only seen the Italian dvd of MURDER OBSESSION and didn't like it but I've seen some screen grabs from the BD and it looks a HUGE upgrade so I'll probably pick it up.

I've never seen it, so will be able to watch it without any preconceptions. The main feature on the disc is with Italian audio and the English version is one of the bonus features. There's also a decent booklet and several interviews to look through afterwards.

I thought it was terrible but then the print on Raro's Italian DVD was very poor and I watched it with the English dub so I no doubt that played a part in me disliking it. Hopefully seeing it in a better print with the Italian track my opinion will change.


You can see some grabs from the BD here.

I can't do that on my tv:(

I can but it's a pain in the arse to do so I don't bother.

This is region free, yeah? I know BluBeaver have said it is, but they've been wrong before, and the places I usually check (PlanetAxel, Movietyme and Blu-ray.com) haven't updated a status on it yet. I really should get this ordered before Axel's free shipping promotion ends.
