Hatter106 posted:I'm trying to order the Alien Anthology from Amazon UK, and I must be doing something wrong... it has my Canadian shipping address, but still says the shipping is only £3.06. I think ordering from the UK you might be intercepted and have to pay taxes. I've ordered stuff from the UK/US to Canada before and what gets taxed is very inconsistent, even from the same company/delivery firm. I think its just luck. Even you if do get caught it'll just be HST + Admin fee which is like $5. Still way cheaper then buying in Canada.

I'm in the US. If I order some of these UK Amazon boxsets (Kubrick Coen Alien) will they play in my player? There's no region problems?

It's good. If anyone ever releases Drowning by Numbers, I'll buy it, even if I have to get a region-free player.

Most of the good deals happen to be releases from Warner, which always put out region free films. I use blu-ray.com to check for region info.

Geeze, the BFI Kenneth Anger set is less than $20. I'm gonna crack on that before the month is out, no doubt.

henpod posted:Does anyone have this UK Kubrick set and have any comments? I do want this, but I heard the transfers aren't that great? Also, the omission of Dr. Strangelove really hurts this as a collection. 2001 and Shining are great quality, not watched the rest yet. Also it's £25 in HMV.

Wow, MPI really knows how to keep their customers happy. I bought Baraka on blu ray a few weeks ago off Amazon but I got a copy with the crappy cardboard case. I went to the MPI website and complained about the case but they never emailed me back or anything so I forgot about it. That was about two weeks ago. Got a package in the mail today, from MPI, a brand new copy of Baraka in a proper plastic case! If anybody wants a copy of Baraka that hasn't even been watched yet for cheap, send me a PM.

Casablanca 70th Anniversary Ultimate Edition on March 27. Going off memory, the supplements look mostly the same, but there's definitely some new ones in there. The article also notes that the transfer on this disc is off of an all-new 4K restoration. The most recent printing already looked quite stunning, so I'm not sure how much better this will look (in 1080p, at least. Nice to know they have a 4K transfer ready once 4k tv's start rolling out), but something to keep an eye on for those that didn't pick it up the first time around.

Sorry for the double post. Yesterday, Paramount announced four more upcoming catalog titles. What's the flipside to Wings, Love Story, To Catch a Thief and Chinatown? Clueless (May 1) Hondo (June 1) Barbarella (July 3) Clue (August 7) Weird, weird (but welcomed) choices. Clue and Clueless are already up for preorder at Amazon for $15.99 (so are Hondo and Barbarella but at $17.49 and $20.49, which isn't anything to write home about) Clue = http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...ASIN=B006YZOXLW Clueless = http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...ASIN=B006YZOWAE

That bridge shot is fantastic. My only concern is the warp speed lines. Looking as crisp and sharp as they do, they kind of look silly which was masked by the original presentation.

Some really cool news for horror fans.quote:Legendary horror studio Hammer has announced a global restoration project for its library of films. In partnership with Studiocanal, Pinewood and other international players, more than 30 films will be revamped in HD for Blu-ray and other new media supports. Hammer’s original U.S. production partners, 20th Century Fox, Warner Bros and Paramount, are also participating in the project. The first title to be released is Dracula Prince Of Darkness, which will go out in March in the UK. The studio was founded in 1934 and went on to make such titles as The Plague Of The Zombies, Frankenstein Created Woman, The Witches and The Mummy. Since 2008, it’s been a division of the Exclusive Media Group. After ceasing production in the 1980s, Hammer returned to features in 2010 with Matt Reeves’ adaptation of Swedish hit Let Me In. This year, it will release Daniel Radcliffe-starrer The Woman In Black. Here’s the release: http://www.deadline.com/2012/01/hammer-teams-with-studiocanal-others-for-major-restoration-of-film-library/

akadajet posted:Actually, I'd recommend checking out the Blu-ray.com screenshots. I'm still amazed by this. When I watched TNG as it originally aired, we didn't even have cable yet. I was watching a weak over-the-air signal with poor color and clarity, not to mention ghosting, noise, static, etc. on a pretty small television. The first time I saw an episode of TNG on cable, I couldn't believe how good it looked and what I had been missing. And now it looks like watching TNG again on Blu-ray will almost be like seeing the show for the first time.

The first of Universal's remastered releases for their 100th anniversary was reviewed at Blu-Ray.com To Kill A Mockingbird http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/To-Kill-a-Mockingbird-Blu-ray/34352/#Review Looks like they knocked it out of the park Anderron Shi posted:Has anyone obtained a copy of Polanksi's "Repulsion" on blu ray, from the Criterion Collection? I rented it awhile back. It's on par with most of Criterion's Blu-Rays (as it is loving amazing and if you are a fan, it is a must buy)
