I never thought I was that bothered about steelbooks but as time goes by I love them even more - that Captain America one is awesome.

That said I did think the BU Deep Red was far superior, but that's the only time I was disappointed in an Arrow.

Theres bugger all wrong with suispiria, the word on the net (so not to be trusted completely) was that the cinematographer had a hand in the transfer. What I gather is that the nouvoux release is how the film is SUPPOSED to look.

I could be wrong (and feel free to correct me as any more info on this release is welcome) but theres nothing wrong at all with it.

No comment on deep red, I need another look at the blue underground disc to compare, I didnt notice much difference first time around.

Whaaa?! That's a stupidly good deal on a fantastic Blu Ray package (possibly my favourite all-round BD release to date) . . .

this fella wanted to trade it in and would have only gotten 1.00 cash or 2.00 store credit so i gave him the credit in cash and scored a badass looking blu.

With my £10 Play voucher (and £3 of PlayFunds I didn't realise I had which strongly suggests I should have posted someone a dvd about a week ago! :|)








I hope the BD of Deathproof has the reversible sleeve like the dvd

The benefits of working in Blockbuster! It's a brilliant film which, due to the digital shooting, capture and storage, was practically made to be seen in high-definition and there is a stunning set of extra features.

At only £2, it's definitely a contender for the bargain of the month!

Damn eBay and my Exorcist obsession! I went there looking for one thing and ended up buying a Japanese laserdisc, a used VHS, the collector's special edition VHS and book release (still in shrinkwrap)* and the most recent French BD release with the theatrical and 'Extended Director's Cut' versions!

I already own four DVDs and three BD sets, not to mention three posters and the novel. Do I have enough Exorcist stuff? No!

*I don't even own a laserdisc player or VCR!

How did you get the free deal then? I received my email with HMV code and in the email it said that because 3 people used my code I'll get the deal free but after checking my bank balance, I've been charged £10. How did you get it for free and better still how did you get to buy the same deal twice as I thought it was only one code per username? I'm all kinds of confused now

I had a few dvd steelbooks and got rid of them as I preferred to have the films in amaray cases, but in the last couple of years I've opted for the steelbook versions of a lot of the titles I've bought recently.

captain america trailer looked so bad I did not bother with it!
looked incredibly cliché and cheesy!
only good super hero movie of this year was X Men First Class but NOTHING will compare to July 2012 when The Dark Knight Rises!
