I think I'll be taking a punt on the Optimum release as well based on this (how fickle I am :laugh:) At least I know to avoid the Network edition anyway.

The Hard Gore disk of Hitch Hike To Hell turned up today. Once again, I don't really remember ordering it. I recently ordered Hitch-Hike, so maybe this caught my eye at the same time!

The bumpf with it indicates that I paid (literally) pennies for it! So even if it's rubbish then...cool!

HMV.co.uk are selling shameless titles for 4.99 Free P+P.

A bargain certainly.......


My Code Red MESSIAH OF EVIL arrived today......:bunny:

I just watched Resevoir Dogs again on Blu-Ray and as always it totally floored me. Its one of those films that I when I think about watching I think that it cant be as good as I remember but it always is.
One of the scenes where Tim Roth is learning his 'Kermode Story' he is stood in front of a wall filled with grafitti. On the BR you can read every word on the wall.
The DTS HD audio is also fantastic, whenever one of the songs kicks in you are totally surronded by the music and it makes you feel like you're in the film. I escecially love the intro sequence with the 'Dogs' walking down the street.
I now cant wait to see Pulp Fiction on Blu-Ray. This is totally the way films were made to be watched :pop2:

Totally agree, BZ. The Blu-ray of Reservoir Dogs was stunning - it really was like seeing it for the first time!

"Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" - Okay.....I know.....

"Manhunt" ('Rovdyr')

ENJOY!

I am quite entranced by the film!

I quite like Castle Freak, there's a scene in the film although not all that nasty always makes me wince when I watch it.I've got the Full Moon disc.

I wish my local Cash Generator had bargains like that:(.

Great choice there Reaps. :nod:

Blackenstein is...well...you'll see. :laugh:

As William Gaunt said in episode 1 of The Champions it's "Different.... very different".... http://www.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/happy/happy0194.gif

I watched Apocalypto last night, which I thought was a great film and looked amazing on Blu Ray. Never seen it before and bizarrely, some of it reminded me of a Deodato film ... coming to think of it, has anyone ever seen Deodato and Mel Gibson in the same room? :tongue1:

It is like Deodato had directed The Naked Prey... ;)

The X-Rated Kult Joe D'amato DVD's that i won on e-bay arrived this morning:

Orgasmo Nero
Orgasmo Nero 3 - Voodo Baby

The Shining has a really, really good transfer. I just watched it last night.

Will you watch the International or US cut?

i was just wondering what you people actually do for a living because i find that i spend a lot on dvd's but you guys seem to be the kings of importing really rare stuff, i mean some of the X-rated Kult stuff sells for a hefty price...

I just this minute ordered Terror in Tiny Town - a western....with midgets! :woot:

I rob banks for a living to fund my X-Rated Kult habit mate! :lol:

Is that the Region A disc with the extended cut on it? Let us know how it is, I've got my eye on that one (and can you confirm it's an 'all region' disc, please!).

I gotta say it, I'm loving Blu-ray. By and large the film transfers are terrific and I'm enjoying the thrill of starting a new collection. :)

All UK and US Warner blu-rays are region free Daemonia :)

Well i'm between jobs at the moment but I am/was in engineering/manufacturing and I spend far too much on dvds.I've seen myself spending upwards of £150 a week sometimes but I've had to scale back dramatically recently and be more selective with my purchases.Bad times :(

Nice one, cheers for that, steveoj. You can tell I'm new to this Blu-thingy, can't you? :D

I'm off to grab that Creepshow Blu-ray then!

This is a good site Daemonia.A pretty up to date lisst of bluray's from differnt regions and whether or not theare region free

I've both discs, but I think I prefer the UK one, to be honest. The Shining is among my very favourite films, but I think Kubrick improved the film slightly by tightening it.

I'm really glad that Warners released Kubrick's international cut on blu ray. I think I read that it was Kubrick's prefered version - I do know that he only allowed the shorter cut to be released outside of the US, which would indicate as much.

The PQ/SQ is exactly the same on both discs, btw.

I got paid today so went on a bit of dvd trip, here's what i got....

from HMV
1. Hardware 7.00
2. Designated Victim (shameless) 6.00
3. My dear Killer (shameless) 6.00

from CEX
1. Election (johnny To movie) 4.00
2. A better Tomorrow Tin edition 6.00

from D'VYNAL RECORDS ( a small independant store)
1. Death Wish
2. Blood Sabath
3. Wait until dark

all three for 10.00

not a bad day's shopping......:chainsaw:

Not bad at all! :cool:

Good stuff, I'll keep that webpage bookmarked. very useful. :)

As for Kubrick's The Shining, I prefer the longer cut myself. It's strange that you say Kubrick wouldn't allow the longer cut to be shown outside the US, yet the longer cut has been aired on UK TV a few times. I wonder what he thought about that.

Watched Optimum's BD of Near Dark last night. Not as good a transfer as I would've expected, it's a bit blurry in places and suffers from digital smearing. If this was a DVD I'd say it looked stunning - but for a Blu-ray? Nah. This should've looked a whole lot better than this. I enjoyed the film again, but the Blu-ray is found wanting. At least it was cheap. :)

just got these from ebay

for about £25
