From sources on Facebook that are heavily into hk cinema these are supposedly transmitters that live up to the boasts on the cover. Not always the case with blu-ray transfers. I'm currently watching the dragon dynasty hard boiled and while decent I can see real room for improvement

It's getting a re-release in a few weeks time, on pre-order for £8.99 at the minute, I bought the steelbook last year, it's good version of it

Yep, saw that. Im guessing the steelbook will be pretty pricey now.

Went to my local HMV store and picked up 3 blu-rays in their 3 for 20 pounds offer. All classic films. David Cronenberg's The Brood, Stuart Gordon's From Beyond and Christopher Nolan's Memento. Was pleased as I had never seen The Brood or From Beyond in the offer before. Am looking forward to watching these 3 movies in high definition.

I own that blu-ray. It's quite a poor release. Also there's a weird glitch where a brown line that was a part of the menu, remains on the screen whilst you are viewing the film! (Unless you have your television's overscan mode turned on). There was a non-english friendly 4K mastered Japanese release a while back. Am hoping that version will get a english friendly release.

The Brood is probably my favourite Cronenberg film I hope you enjoy it SF.

Interesting. I've only seen it the one time when i bought it a couple of years ago. I'll have to revisit it again soon.

I do tend to like the majority of Cronenberg's films. His last one to date, Maps to the Stars was excellent.

The only one i don't get on with is eXistenZ. I've never seen Fast Company or M.Butterfly so can't call on them but the rest i like.

eXistenZ seemed like a gift to his old fan base. I like it a lot. One thing about Cronenberg that you have to admire, is that he's the only old-school horror director that can still manage to raise generous budgeting for his modern movies.
