I am goin to go off de beaten path here ( not de normal boom boom bang bang..) n recommend

1. Benjamin Button - Beautiful luv story wif great pics n works de sub in a coupla scenes too

2. Slumdog Millionaire - Veri beautifully acted n filmed profile of livin in a Mumbai slum - its got a beautiful upliftin story too. A Rahmans soundtrack is sub heaven..

Hi,

I believe if u use expediated - then u nid a signature to collect de package..

Amazon has great CS n if indeed u dont recieve ur package - n after a standard period, u can request a 2nd shipment n they'll entertain this for free..

Cheers
Dirtrun

My bad..

I knew one of de 3 needed a signature..

Cheers
Dirtrun

Why de hangups abt non delivery.. Like I said amz.com has great CS.. they literally guarantee receipts of item/s tat u order..

I hv nvr gone for other than de standard shippin (in my 2 odd yrs of buyin from them) n even thou' there was one or 2 instances where my packges arrived late (veri late, sumtin like 2.5mths late - to the extent that I got another for free), they did reach my hands eventually..

If there is anythin to complain abt amz is tat their shippin charges are a tad exp..
Other than tat, they are an exemplary online store

Cheers
Dirtrun

Aha..

Then I m not wrong after all.. I tot I remember amz shippin (nope I didnt opt for tis but amz upgr cos of an exceptionally long wait for stock) for me using tis n then had to sign for it..
N ya its like a coupla days diff only as compared to standrd shippin - not worth xtra for tis IMO..

Cheers
Dirtrun

Then change ur shippin adrs lo..

From house to ofis or wifes/gf/bf ofis - sumtin like tat la..

Haha..

Maybe my postal worker works diffntly from urs..

Watever.. pt is amz is de only online store safe to recommend

Cheers
Dirtrun

Really..

Tats pretty cheap.. but amz's (I assume u r talkin abt amz..) shippin chrg is a bit steep..

I dont have Troy bd .. Trnfrmrs is okla.. but wat has struck me as a fine visual is a non descrpt title called Immortal Beloved (kinda biopic of Ludwig Von Beethoven) - man the vdo there is really really gud..

My 2 ctsla

Added on July 24, 2009, 2:55 pmWell..

I dont blame you.. Coraline isnt exactly a top tier ttl, is it?? But HDef digest rvws are pretty gud so m tryin tis out..

Like I said amz shpg chrgs normally adds USD5 (or even more if u order less than 5 ttls) so a cheapo like me adds all tat up..

1. I am intrsted in de Ext Ed only.. De Bd version of tis will eventually be out..

2. George Lucas has always been kinda slow in implementin new format for his classics.. Again itll evetually end up with a HD version..

After sayin tat there are a lot of old favs tat might get a rebuy for instance Back to the Future series ; Indy 1 - 3..

Cheers
Dirtrun

FWIW,

It normally takes 10wks for canadian post to reach Mal..

Erh.. u can return de items in question but u ll lose out on de waitin period tat u hv uh waited for de items to arrive n also amz will only credit your refund only after rec't of your items (prbbly another long wait..).. u cannot ask for a refund if item has shipped..

I agree on amz.ca lousy postal shippers .. try n buy those ttls tat are dirt cheap which incidentally means old ttls, so u wont be so kancheon to watch wan..

Cheers
Dirtrun

Hi,

It shld be de same as they are of de same parent co.. normally amz will reship a lost package and not always give you an option to choose on whether you want a refund or otherwise.. at least tat has happened to me.. but its still at no cost to us, so its still gud..

U r statin DHL has great customer svc or Amazon.com.. if amz then I agree 110% but DHL .. uhm tat co , I hv bad experiences la - total opposite is wat it is to me..

Cheers

Hi..

I hv rec'd unsealed 'new' bds tis way n on further enquiries rec'd a standard reply in tat their(amz.uk) suppliers sumtimes delivers them tat way and is not a standard practice for amz.uk to seal all new discs.. As there were no other prblms( disc was unblemished..) I let it go at tat..

FWIW, de us region bds all hv de top sticker to signify tat its sealed, even if they dont cum shrinkwrapped..

Cheers

Hi..

Heres a short rvw I did sumwhere else..



Tis is my 2nd cp of NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN .. D 1st was a d5 durian which I thorougly enjoyed n when I saw de BD version on offer at USD13..

All 3 main characters in tis flick are great - Josh Brolin who plays Llewellyn Moss - a hunter who finds a bag full of money after findin a 'drug deal gone wrong' in de middle of de desert.. Sheriff Ed Bell(Tommy Lee Jones) a tired-out soon to be retired sheriff who trails de destruction of de other 2 men.. N las but not least Anton Chigurh(pronounced as sugar) debatably one of de most terrifyin killers ever to grace de screen (Javier Bardem on a bad hair day - he got an oscar for tis..) he uses a variety of ways to end peoples lives but de most innovative(on film anyway) is de compressed air 'puncher-thingy' which apprently is de normal way to kill livestock in USA .. its quite cool really and its wonderfully portrayed in tis flick wif wonderful efx..

VDO is jus gorgeous wif de texan landscape as background - breathtakin..
ODO is lossless - gorgeous too wif everytin(surrounds/bass) workin when needed
4.5*
PS Id given it a 5* if only it ended better - I mean wif all Llewelyns effort..

Hi Sis,

Its a bit violent n graphic in terms of de killing scenes but de story is gud n pictures gorgeous for a 'period' film.. Quite worth gettin for de pics alone..

Cheers
Dirtrun
