If I ordered Blow Out and OUATITW together would they ship both together, thus incurring customs?

Thanks Grim. Here's a more direct link to the Criterion Blu-rays on sale (there's a link on the left to filter by the DVDs on sale). There are 30 titles in total:

I'm tempted by Red Shoes for £15 delivered. It looks about the same as the UK BD (£9.99) but it's only a fiver more for the Criterion.

When it can be bought for £10 delivered I'll get it. I'm in no rush to upgrade this one. I'm not sure why because it's a great film.

I'm sure you'd get hit on that one.

Top value... but the arses stuck in the PG-13 only cut of DH4.

[saltysam]

Thought the unrated cut of DH4 was poorly done myself.seemed to me they dubbed in a few f words and inserted some dodgy looking digital blood.

I know what you mean... but it's obvious on the PG-13 cut that swearing was removed. The ideal is probably somewhere in-between with no additions to or deletions from what was shot.

[romerojpg]

I couldn't suffer the PG13 cut ever again you just sit there going NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Even average CGI blood and dubbing is better than pulling your hair out watching the kids cut. I just went for the UK DVD and thought stuff them.

[saltysam]

i thought the pg-13 cut played just fine.

Is dubbing it in after any better though? If it's dubbed after in, how can it have been removed before?

I thought the PG-13 cut worked fine too. It's the film that doesn't work. It's rubbish! Die Hard stopped after Part 2 for me, with Die Hard being the only keeper.

Some of the strong language may have been dubbed in, but clearly not all of it.
You can see the actors swear on numerous occasions.

It did, but I'd prefer it not to have been cut.
If they wanted a PG-13 they should have made one.

Disagree. I enjoyed it as I did ...With a Vengeance.
Part 2, entertaining though it is, is actually the weakest for me.

[bradavon]

They're all weak except for Die Hard, which is awesome.

Disagree. Die Hard is a classic, the others are great fun. Weak doesn't come into the equation unless you're comparing Part 2 to 1.

[romerojpg]

Part 2 is awesome, it pisses on Brads new love in film Green Zone

[Markgway]

What's Die Hard 2 got in common with Green Zone?

Part 2 *is* classic Hollywood.........but dumb as shit like a lot of their best action films!

[saltysam]

The Die Hard franchise is a high quality one...part four was only ok but still a perfectly servicable actioner.hope he makes another before he gets too old.

Ask Brad, he keeps on brining it up as the new Saviour of action films

[Markgway]

Green Zone was OK. I think I gave it **.5

[Yi-Long]

Green Zone sounds like a cool movie, story-wise.... but I really can't put myself to watch another shakey-cam travesty.

I'm no fan of Paul Greengrass' direction... it's the political intrigue that keeps the story interesting.

Oh come one. Die Hard 3 is okay but given it stars Willis, Jackson and is a Die Hard film is pretty boring. Die Hard 4 is definitely weak, made far to long after the rest and feels nothing at all like a Die Hard film.

You'll see, it was you who brought Green Zone into the discussion. I didn't bring it up.

Incidentally I've no idea why Green Zone is hated so much hear, especially when the Bourne films aren't. It's Bourne meets Iraq. It has the same feel, same lead actor, same director, same solid film-making. What's not to like? I'm sure it's generally liked too.

Damn! I know you intentionally drop clangers to stimulate posts about you, but I can't let that slide!

Die Hard 3 is a classic 90's movie! Just quality I love everything about it! So far from boring it's not funny
