Are these bd's any good (technically)?

Can't speak for the euro versions, but the US versions of Beetlejuice and The Day The Earth Stood Still are worthy pickups. Neither is gonna blow you away, with TDTESS being the closer to gonna blow you way of the two.

I received the despatched notification e-mail for the Psycho BD that I pre-ordered months ago and completely forgot about! One other bonus things is that it isn't actually released for another week so I'll hopefully have it by the weekend.

Wow! I didn't realise that was so soon! I've always just thought of the US release date. Definitely want to hear what you think of it when it arrives, quality-wise.

Picked up Jess Franco's Jack the Ripper for £2 in Fopp today. They had a load more Jess Franco films at the same price (Blue Rita, Love Camp, Eugenieetc) but these aren't really my bag...

Thanks for the info!
I just picked them up because they were fun films and cheaply available.
Will be getting me some Arrow bd's soon I think!

There is loads of pixeling on Street Law, but that's the only one I have watched so far...

The Legend of Drunken Master (Drunken Master 2) Blu-ray arrived today. Just finished watching it and Oh My God is that film just phenomenal or what? If you haven't seen it then you must.... like right now. It has some of THE most incredibly jaw dropping hand to hand fight scenes ever put to film. As for picture quality, well I'm blown away. I know I own the poor quality Hong Kong VHS release so whatever I see is going to be a drastic improvement from that but I really thought it was a great transfer. Sharp, colourful and clear but still with it's essential grain. What more could you want from a release like this. Easily a 5 out of 5 film.

Optimum's discs of RAW DEAL,RED HEAT and RED SONJA all look and sound great!

A few bits of grain Steve.Sorted.

Haha. You'd have a heart attack at Humanoids From The Deep on BD Reaps. I don't know about the dvd but the booklet inside the case has a little message telling you how grainy the image is.....and it is!
