A review of the Japanese film Departures. The transfer does not look like it will win any awards. However, it is a great film.

doctor thodt posted:Says so at the top of the review you linked. I had thought that it said Region B just as a reference to it being a region B disc, since its UK. Looking at the other reviews on the site suggests that is not the case

I'll be able to test when I get my disc because I have one of those Momitsu knock-off players that HMV were selling for £50 back in January.

I recently rented the Disney classic Snow White and initially I could not get the disc to play in my PS3. Everytime I would hear my amp click to say it had changed output, only for it to click again and drop me back to the dashboard with a cryptic error message. The only hints I could find suggested the bluray laser is going in my PS3 (I hope not) and to turn off the super white option under display settings. this did allow me to watch the film, however, with Disney view enabled I had playback issues when the border changed. I decided to drop back to the main menu and start again with the Disney View turned off. This played but instead of pauses I now experienced jumps in the movie at each chapter. Is it just Disney being daft, my PS3 being crap, or a combination of the two?

I watched the Masters of Cinema release of M. Its amazing how good it looks for such an old film. The film itself is an interesting social commentary of the hunt for an child murderer and what may or may not happen if that person is caught. I highly recommend it. Judging by the DVDBeaver review, the Criterion release looks even better. http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film/DVDCompare7/m.htm

For doctor thodt Kamikaze Girls Other mentions Ashes of Time Redux Bronson The Good, the Bad, the Weird Hamlet Henry V The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner Just because its region locked. Danny the Dog Lesbian Vampire Killers 9 Songs Midnight Meat Train Comedy TV Series which is very good. "Tea leaf, anything from NASA?" "No? How many more people have to die before they listen!" Psychoville I was going to suggest The Big Blue, Departures, Elite Squad, and Mesrine but you have them in your list.  Although the disk is region free, I would recommend I'm a Cyborg but that's OK for £8.99 which is considerably cheaper than what is available on Amazon.com Death's Head fucked around with this message at 11:35 on Jul 11, 2010 |

doctor thodt posted:Oh yeah, I forgot there's also a UK release of Suspiria. Not sure about the pq there but it appears to also be region locked. I've rented it. Its not excellent, but I think that is more to do with the source material. Its also hard to judge at times because the backgrounds are mainly primary colours. To add to this, the aspect ratio looks wrong on certain scenes, e.g. One of the ballet girls has a long face during the scene when they are bedding down. At times the PQ is soft, but at others there is plenty of detail. Near the start of the film, there is a pool of blood on the floor which appeared to have a halo, but it could just be the way the scene was shot. The sound is OK, oppressively loud when it is supposed to be. If you like the film, you will no doubt like the release.

Its a real shame that the person who created that doesn't allow downloads because some of his custom covers are excellent. http://gallery.me.com/graphicman.yyc

I saw that site, you can easily find the sites where you can get his work just by googling for his username - bpmford. I can understand why he has removed general access to his covers because they get plastered across custom cover sites where you have to donate to download them. If other people are making money from his work then he should too. His requirements for sending them via PM are being a member of Blu-Ray.com for over 6 months and being a friend or a friend of a friend.

I think this is a pretty complete reflection of my collection. Some are for myself and some for other reasons :-) I think its a real mixed bag. Updated to add most of the discs I'd missed. Its frustrating that I have 2 Japanese blurays that aren't in their database. It would be great if they had a way to add missing ones.
