What Have You Just Ordered or Received?

All that I've tested are anamorphic (despite the dvd box stating "letterbox") and feature both mono and 5.1. Picture quality varies; Shaolin Temple was a total mess, but the others have been fine so far. No eng subs. These seem to be ports of the Dutch Filmworks dvds, btw.

A few caps

Shaolin Handlock

The Blood Brothers

Both are progressive

I've just pre-ordered the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon steelbook Blu-ray from Play.com, looking forward to watching it for the first time in ages and hopefully the picture quality will be a significant jump up from the DVD, as that always did disappoint me.

Also ordered The Da Vinci Code BD because it's 2 for £22.

Please post what the AV is like. The DVD always disappointed me too. I hope it's been cleaned up.

The clamshell packaging is a bit bigger than a normal keepcase but it looks nice and seems to fit on my shelf (I think) where I took the older editions away.

It came today, just been checking it out and it looks brilliant, a significant upgrade from the DVD

The front cover of the steelbook makes me laugh though, Chow Yun-Fat's neck is cut off so there's just his head right at the bottom and it looks a bit funny.

I saw that Crows was released here in Holland. Is the movie any good, or just ok-ish!?
It's still 12-13 euro or something, so I'll just wait till it drops in price, but I never heard of it till recently.

What is OSS 117? The cover makes it look like a Bond-ish sort of movie.

diceman · Post by **diceman** » 18 Jul 2009, 21:47

OSS 117 is a french Spy-Comedy, with a deliberate vintage feel (e.g. cheesy Blue Screen Effects like in the 50s). Haven't seen it yet, but it's supposed to be hillarious and very entertaining. This year the sequel comes into selected theaters.

I bought the Thai-DVD, because it has original audio and English subs, plus it's cheap like hell.
