I don't get why it's so rated. It's pretty good but nothing special. Nicholson is better in Chinatown and especially The Shining.

You want to watch a baseball game?

Anyway, those ITV BDs that we've known about for yonks have formerly been announced.

Talk about an all killer, no filler line up. For one Boys from Brazil never had a decent DVD, AFAIK.

We can also confirm the discs will not be region coded. Yippy.

I don't want to watch any sport. It's all duller than dishwater.

It's a famous quote from Cuckoo's Nest.

Hey Salty,
Since you have an actual BD player and a copy of this film, could you please confirm for me whether or not the Anchor Bay Halloween BD has a mono track?

Thanks in advance.

I received my copy the other day and there's no mention of mono on the case. The cases of the Dawn and Day of the Dead BDs do list mono though.

Eva Anchor Bay Halloween BD indeed has the original mono as an option :)

According to a leaflet in the Rambo disc Universal Soldier & Angel Heart are out soon.

Cool, Universal Soldier. Definitely a guilty pleasure of mine.

Angel Heart was decent on paper, but I found it really dull.

Thanks Salty.

I e-mailed the guy who runs the BD Region Info page telling him my response from the Reservoir Dogs and 12 Monkey's studios (both according to them Region B) and his response was interesting:
The Concorde answer is pretty weird, seeing as all their releases have
been region free. Even 12 Monkeys have been confirmed region free by
several sources.
I guess we can ignore Concorde's reply then. 12 Monkey HD-DVD/BD is still bloody expensive though and as such I'd still get the USA HD-DVD.

Was in Zavvi today and had a look at the AVP 2 BD.i see it contains only the 89 minute cut while the 2-disc SD gets the 96 minute version.the usa disc gets both cuts.the film's but that's not the point,fox shortchange the uk again.

It's especially confusing when the cover says: "Not seen at cinemas - More action, more terror"

Presumably it means the deleted scenes.

Thanks Tiger. Are they any good price wise? They look expensive to me.

From their website, on all HD-DVD listings:
"This DVD is region 12. This means that it will only play on DVD players capable of playing discs from this region."
What!

Well you looked, obviously you can see they are a joke site with joke prices.

£19.99 standard for most :lol: :lol: :lol: you have to be swimming in cash to pay from a company like that.

Starship Troopers - Sony US BD, partial specs.

The director's commentary alone should make it a better buy than the Euro Disney release (unless it only has lossy audio or some such rubbish, but that's highly doubtful.)

Starship Troopers The specs listed before on other sites were more complete than them, but hell no way they will miss off all extras when they are available, unless they want us to double dip! the cast commentary is esspecially fun.

Its a no brainer for me, but I am waiting for a review I think, just to see if it beats the UK Blu Ray picture wise, which should not be to hard as while it was great, was not exactly remastered and cleaned up etc.. not long to go and I may take the plunge and get part 3 while I am at it, surley it has to be ok :lol: please let it be!

I would not rent anything ever, I refuse to when I can download it, if you like it buy it, if you dont then they never deserved your cash in the first place :D

I did not mind Starship Troopers 2 as much as others (its far from good, but not that bad), so surley part 3 with a slightly better cast of farmiliar faces, budget and director has to be better :D

and Power Armour for gods sake! :D http://www.starshiptroopers3.net/

Whilst i can appreciate the price might be a little too rich for you, can i ask where the basis of your opinion that they are a joke site/company comes from? :?:
