Bought this from Shamzon , ok the second is ok and the third not fit for a coaster but it was 29.99 and had £5 voucher from them when they screwed up on order so thought why not for 24.99.

Got these today, had the Kitano on pre-order for months, excited to rewatch these quirky Yakuza films. Had the Graham Humphreys book on my wish list for a while so treated myself before it goes out of print, I'm super happy with the content, 100s of posters reproduced.

I used to have it as a big box ex-rental brand new from Global Video (remember them?) but never actually watched it.:lol:

Few bits yesterday. A 4K UHD of The Shining and a blu-ray of The Beast Must Die were delivered. Also went to Cex and picked up a blu-ray of Predator 2 for two quid. Original plan was to show The Beast Must Die to my wife but Amazon didn't deliver it till late and we enjoy watching films in the late afternoon.

So we ended up watching Predator 2 instead. I hadn't seen Predator 2 in years and was surprised at how enjoyable it was (bearing in mind that I don't like Robocop 2). The blu-ray had noticeable dnr but since my Predator 1 bd is the same, that probably wasn't too surprising. Was a fun watch, will definetly keep it.

I've had a sneak peek at The Beast Must Die and it looks very nice. It's actually the first time that I've seen it looking good if I'm being honest. :) Would recommend a purchase. 1.66:1 ratio with 1.0 mono sound if anyone is interested. btw A funny coincidence is that Calvin Lockhart is not just in TBMD but he also makes an appearance in Predator 2.

I also ended up with The Matrix trilogy 4K UHD set. A while back I mentioned that I had ordered just the first film in this format but I ended up cancelling that and ordering this instead. Matrix 1 was costing 18.99 and I discovered that you could get the whole set for 26.99 from the WB webshop (with WELCOME discount code). For such little difference, I'd definitely rather have the boxset.

Yeah, Matrix Revolutions is quite the letdown indeed but that second film has some great stuff imo (such as the lengthy freeway scene) and to me, was certainly worth paying just eight pounds more for a UHD copy. Nice thing about this set is that the accompanying standard 1080p blu-rays have also been remastered (I like also having backup 1080p bds of any 4K UHD that I own).
