Amazon is running a deal where if you buy both Moulin Rouge and Romeo + Juliet, you'll get $6 off. Making them $30.68 shipped.

Moulin Rouge = http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001G8XON0?ie=UTF8&tag=evdaisafi-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B001G8XON0

Not bad if you were planning to buy them anyways.

This is a great deal on two AMAZING Blu-rays. I watched them both back-to-back yesterday and was floored by the amount of detail packed into each and every single frame, much of which I never noticed before in standard-def. If I didn't know any better I would think Fox remastered these movies at 4k. Truly magnificent to behold.

Son of a bitch. I just bought Moulin Rouge for my girlfriend because it's one of her favourite movies, and now this deal pops up including one of her OTHER favourites.

Oh, and Liam Neeson has some kind of Mrs. Doubtfire quality going on with that cover.

That's just a terrible cover overall regardless of Liam's face. There are a lot of things you could do with A-Team and four guys and make it look cool. That's just lazy and unimaginative.

I have no suggestions for a better alternative. loving sparks, really?

The DVD cover literally has them hovering above the ground. They just took the movie poster and photoshopped everyone up the image so they're detached from their shadows just floating in the air.

drat, I just saw it on Amazon. They could have paid someone in SA-Mart $50 for better work. I guess this movie was so disappointing in the box office that they're trying to recoup costs everywhere.

I just got done with Winter's Bone and it's probably one of my top ten BD's of the year so far. Phenomenal movie and surprisingly good a/v presentation given the single layer disc. I haven't checked out the commentary yet, but there's a very engaging 45 minute making-of featurette (in HD) and a few deleted scenes as well.

Do yourself a favor and pick up one of the year's best movies when it comes out on BD next tuesday. There could be a few sleeper Oscar nods here.



e: I also watched Please Give yesterday and it had trailers for Animal Kingdom and Get Low, so hopefully we'll be seeing both of those on BD sooner rather than later.

Psycho arrived today from Amazon. It looks OK, but it has the weird noise reduction + sharpening look that's on a lot of Universal releases, yet constant minor dirt and scratches. Still an upgrade from previous editions, plus the remastered mono track is fantastic. I just wish they took a more kid gloves approach like Sony and Criterion for B&W films.

Arrow has confirmed that all 3 discs in the Battle Royale limited edition will be region-free Blu-Rays and all content will be playable on US players. I have a feeling a lot of people are going to miss out on this due to the extremely low print. They might even all be claimed already, and everyone pre-ordering now is going to be SOL :ohdear:

They said its only going to be 5000 copies of the 'limited edition' and after that they are printing x number of the 'special edition' which will be almost the same as the LE but with some of the extra bits missing. So you wont be SOL, you'll just get the films with not as many cool extras as the LE people.

Guess I should amend that to The Crow/9 Songs for $20 shipped.

Thanks for the heads up.
