Don't buy this crappy shit. It's so bad you almost get angry! :mmph:

Oh, I'll watch any old shit and find something enjoyable about them. Of course, there's the odd one or two that's just beyond the pale, and even with my low expectations can't satisfy me.

Don't forget, I'm the man who rates The Mighty Gorga as an underrated masterpiece and thinks Ed Wood Jr is a misunderstood genius. :lol:

I don't mean films like those. I'm talking about big budget Hollywood banality with nothing to say and made without any of the enthusiasm or innovation of Ed Wood's movies – however bad.

There's something incredibly depressing about the whole 'film by focus group' scenario where you have a director without vision and a script designed to appeal to the lowest common denominator with nothing to challenge the grey cells or which may slightly offend someone somewhere in the world.

Shaft from Warner US on Aug 14th.

Also...

Olive Films will be releasing Jess Franco's Count Dracula sometime in the not too distant future! I've been quite lucky of late. Sold my Dark Sky DVD for a decent amount not long ago. :)

There you go Daemonia and Pete, a Franco debut, even if it is a bit mild-mannered!

Ooooh... New Jack City on Aug 14th as well from Warner. Been hoping that would turn up sometime.

Excellent news. :)

Add me as another one happy to see New Jack City coming to Blu-ray. :)

Shaft and New Jack City are two of those films I really feel I should have seen by now. Will probably pick both of them up.

July (USA) probably a bit later overhere as well.

I really want The Big Heat - Damn you Twilight Time! :mmph:

I know. Someone over here needs to cut a deal with Sony too. They just licensed 250 films to Mill Creek so surely they must be prepared to license in other territories too.

I want Mysterious Island and Journey To The Centre Of The Earth as well, although Journey is a Fox title.

I asked in the Eureka thread at blu-ray.com when The Big Heat was revealed and I didn't get a no so I'll take that as a positive. It would certainly fit in with some of their recent releases and I'm sure they wouldn't scoff at another Lang film for MOC.

Lots of goodies to come but I personally can't wait for The Blood Beast Terror on bd (just hope it's region free)... :loco:

And eagerly anticipating this getting released over here (seems it's already out in the US) in August or should I just get the US bd (probably region free)... :)

Holy crap, that's an almighty shopping list there, Bruno!

David Cronenberg's "eXistenZ" will be released as a triple feature in the US on May 01, 2012:

eXistenZ / Malevolent / B. Monkey Blu-ray

Comments in the Blu-ray.com forum unfortunately confirm that it doesn't have HD audio, only a DD2.0 track:

I really don't understand why Miramax have been farming their titles out to Echo Bridge, who haven't really been treating these films with the respect their deserve, often only giving them 1080i makeovers. Miramax/Dimension have some real gems in their library and it's a shame they're being handled by a company that doesn't seem to care about them one iota. They're just banging them out quickly and cheaply to reap maximum profits - and the films suffer as a result.

I agree. At least the US Lionsgate releases have fared better. Most of the LG and Studiocanal titles released in the UK have been okay too.

Maybe some of LG's bd releases have fared better (they just lost some titles they had out on bd btw) but they don't have a clue what to do with their titles as well it seems.
Just look at their recent dvd release of Blood Diner...which was supposed to be released with some great extras...now it's in a bargain bin Walmart set...with 3 films packed on 1 dvd (dvd-9)...
BLOOD DINER Came Out On DVD?!

:coolblue:

Coming from Olive Films in July:

:D

At least it's better than the UK and US DVD covers!

Yes they do! Same as the old Rank/Cannon rental VHS.

ta!!!

ordered!

I watched this on DVD a few weeks ago and it's such a brilliant film. An upgrade to HD is a no-brainer decision.

Yes brilliant,not cheesy at all and very serious tone!

HIGH NOON 60th Anniversary Edition from Olive Films:

Can't get the theme out of my head now!

I can only imagine what Chesty Morgan's assets will look like in high definition – particularly the stretchmarks!

At least the horny rabbit Pete will have something to jerk off to.

That would have been ripe for a 3-D makeover..
