Looks like Germany are getting the unrated cut of Live Free Or Die Hard (Die Hard 4.0) on BD as part of a series of digibook releases. I can't imaging it won't see a release elsewhere.

Live Free Or Die Hard

I've got the first 3 Region A. They're good. Not spectacular but good. Gotta shift my 5-Star box when I get back. :D

About the Fox Digibooks: Their press release sais that for some movies, the extrended cut will be presented on a DVD - and Die Hard 4 is one of those cases. So we can expect the theatrical version on BD to team up with the Recut on DVD.

That only leaves one question the AVGN puts best ... WHAT WERE THEY THINKING? :D

What a load of rubbish! I mean, what's the problem with just finally releasing it on BD??? I really liked 4 but no way am I getting the unrated dvd when a BD is bound to happen someday.

"Tentatively, it also looks like The Image is coming in January with a 42nd St. Forever redux (vols. 1 and 2 combined, with a few trailers being axed and a few new ones taking their place...3 hrs. and 40 min.!) following in February."

Looks fantastic b, will be a pre-order for sure. :pop2:

Just hope it's region free! ;)

I'd say the problem is that there is no HD print of the Recut and they just don't want to invest in a decent master.

Coming end of the year

I'd say that's pretty unlikely in this day and age. The Unrated version would have been planned from Day 1 and they're probably just planning to milk it along with the first 3 again at a later time. :)

They'll probably do the BD encode when they're ready to release it worldwide.

That, of course, could also be the case. Still, what better chance of releaseing that cut than within a new collector's edition? :D

I have a feeling they'll find an opportunity to re-do the whole lot as the first 3 were fairly early titles from Fox.

Maniac review:

Maniac

Nice review, except that Maniac was never banned as a video nasty. Certainly, it was rejected classification by the BBFC a couple of times, but it never fell foul of the DPP and was never on the official list of video nasties.

As for 'video nasties', I'm sick of hearing the term. :mmph:

:eek::eek::eek: And that's all I'm saying

Death Race 2

:dance: GRINDHOUSE and THE EXORCIST both showed up for me today! :dance:

Unfortunately, I can't check 'em out til I get home from work around 9pm. :doh:

Wonder if we'll get a rendition of 'When Will I Be Famous' while Luke Goss is driving around. He must be still asking himself the same question even after breaking into movies...

Region A locked apparently. That artwork is bloody appaling!

It's widely being reported as being region-locked, mate. I know, I'm gutted too. :(

Still, it's bound to get a UK release sooner or later. :)

No cover art up as yet but according to blu-ray.com it's definitely happening. :bunny:

Amazon.com: The Birds [Blu-ray]: Alfred Hitchcock: Movies & TV

Probably be region free too. The more Hitchcock the better! :D

My copy of The Exorcist arrived today -- hopefully I'll have time to give it a watch this evening.

Troll 2 Blu-ray review:

Troll 2 (Blu-ray) : DVD Talk Review of the Blu-ray

Is Troll 2 region locked?
If so I wonder if it will be released in Europe?

Troll 2 is a masterpiece in terrible films and one that really needs to be seen to be believed. I hope it comes out on Blu-ray in the UK but, if not, I will seriously consider importing.

This looks so bad I actually think I'm going to end up buying it!

MIDNIGHT LEGACY - Giving the films the respect they deserve!

YouTube - ALIEN 2 ON EARTH trailer

The question is, will this be a film that is so terrible that it is brilliant or so terrible it is virtually unwatchable?

Alien 2 sulla terra is a fun movie.
I've got the Japanese vhs. :)
