Cheers Grim.i know Mark didn't like the Sword but i thought it was ok,not great,worth the £3 or so it'll cost you.do a search,there's a thread on it where i posted caps.

Have you seen any of the others Sam?

saltysam · Post by **saltysam** » 19 Jun 2008, 01:49

i haven't Grim,look like taiwanese swordplay movies,mark may have seen a couple of them.they are cheap enough to take a chance

Only other one I've seen is Bloody Fight. I don't remember too much about it. I think it was an OK basher - but don't take my word for it. For that price you're cheap enough just trying a couple that sound interesting. Most of them are Taiwanese, some HK films made in Taiwan.

oops missed that one,yep i've got Bloody Fight,as Mark says an ok Basher worth a watch.

Just think people on forums are paying loads more for second hand version of all of the above.

If Blu Ray prices stay at them resonable price points I would buy a lot more

Mission Impossible hd-dvd box set £9.99

WOW! Great price. I bet we'll see a few more of these before it ends. It's a shame Part 1 is good but not a keeper, Part 2 is decent and Part 3 pretty much a turkey though.

That said, if it's 3 keep cases, you could always sell the ones you don't want.

I already own MI2 HD-DVD. Which btw they all have Full-Rate (1.5Mbps) DD Plus compared with the 640Kbps DD5.1 found on the BDs.

I saw this over at AVForums. I'm tempted by Unforgiven but will probably get it another time.

Proposition BD £8.34 (Pre-Order)

Bollocks! My copy from The Hut arrived today. It was a good price too, just not that good. I didn't spot that one. That's a super price for a title sure to go OOP sooner rather than later.

EDIT: It's the USA not UK Tartan BD. The UK BD only transfers over a Making of and Trailer from the 2 Disc SE DVD

, whereas the USA BD may transfer all the USA extras over (less than the DVD) but I cannot find any info on this.

The Tartan is a BD25 with DTS-HD MA. I wonder if the USA BD really only has DD5.1?

EDIT: The Making of is 118 minutes

, pity the commentary especially has been dropped though.

Superhero box set (xmen 1 & 2,Daredevil Director's cut, Elektra) £7 in zavvi.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 09 Aug 2008, 08:36

How much better is DD: DC? I've been meaning to check it out but the Theatrical Cut is so poor I've not bothered.

I'm guessing it wouldn't make someone like it if they disliked the TC?

it's a stronger film than the TC imo but if you hated the TC i can't see you suddenly liking the DC despite it being better. review here,this guy didn't like it much either but agrees the DC is an improvement.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 25 Aug 2008, 13:44

I though it was the BD box set

. I'd have definitely got it, if it was on BD. I'm happy with my older box set until I get it on BD.

saltysam · Post by **saltysam** » 25 Aug 2008, 16:00

you'll be lucky to find the BD set cheap.cheapest i can see is Tower and that's around £43 delivered

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 25 Aug 2008, 18:26
