Small update

A few Tartan DVD also pictured. I have about ten more of the films on the Asia Extreme list but not from the Tartan label (if that makes any sense) that i have to pick up.

Maybe i was dreaming but was someone going to start releasing these on Blu Ray some time ago.

I was thinking, or perhaps hoping, that someone would bring these out. I remember that golden age when they were throwning out Miike films and new and original Korean films like Sympathy for Mr.Vengeance ....sadly its gone.

Arrow have started chipping away at the catalogue with Audition and Happiness of the Katakuris having already been released, Dark Water upcoming and Miike's Dead or Alive heavily rumoured.

Kino in the US were also supposed to be releasing some of these but nothing has come of it yet... perhaps the deal fell through - especially with Arrow's titles being predominantly dual territory so far.

Like Drakie mentioned i also feel the Asian cinema boom has now totally gone at least in the UK.

Long gone are the days when i used to buy loads from YesAsia. I can't remember the last Korean film i even bought. The whole genre holds very little interest to me now.

Obviously if someone raves over one of these new 88 releases it might pique my interest but it's doubtful as i doubt anyone will bother to review them. A **** / 5 score does not count as a review.

[gag]

Ive got quite a lot of Tartan films,
And as for reviews i always leave somerhing even if its just a few words.

I remember when CDWow was at its peak and Sensasian (think thta was the name) was open. I bought so many fantastic boxsets from them.

Wasn't Visitor Q shot in SD?

Dead Or Alive needs a trilogy boxset. Gozu I really want. Then again being an avid fan of his I want them all even though I have everything (apart from three hard to get titles) by him.
