Another thing to add, just as a side note:

If you happen to order 2 separate orders (and even on different days) where each order is below RM500, but both arrived at the same time to the same address/recipient... and collectively totalled more than RM500; you will still kena tax... like me

Yup, it was rare lah... Actually my case was more of an 'unlucky' scenario. First and second order were made 4 days apart. But due to stock shortage, the first order was delayed and was 'nicely' shipped the same day my second order was shipped out!!? I kena around RM90+ tax of the total combined order of over RM700.... at the nd of the day, not so bad la....

How do you tell them the return shipping charges then? Do you email them the fee in Ringgit M'sia or how?
The last time it happened to me when they wrongly sent me a HD-DVD instead of Blu-ray, they told me just to keep the HD-DVD...

I'm not sure with Amazon UK though but Amazon US used Expedited International Shipping on both occasion when they send my replacement order

Watched this just now. For me however, the best looking ever for a 6 year old, catalog & B-movie title in high definition. The first thing I'm curious is the amount of grain that I'm expecting from this catalog title. Surprise2, its flawless.... yes, grain was there but almost un-noticed, images are sharp, colours are nice and the night/exterior scenes under low-light almost perfect for my level of viewing and I don't notice any DNR or EE applied to this one either.

Kudos to New Line! Other studios should follow this sample when making their catalog titles onto high definition... and stop making excuses to something like - grain is part of film stock, what BS!

That's my point really. Intentional grain is fine... like 300, Black Hawk Down & The Kingdom... I don't have issue on those films and even rated them high on my PQ list in my collection.

The real issue here is how A TRANSFER make their way to high-definition format like blu-ray. Do the studios care about producing a good looking transfer without messing up the look or just use the master for LD or dvd to produce blu-ray? If it's a good transfer in the first place, do they need to apply DNR or EE? I bet most new adopters to blu-ray don't care about film stock characteristics, how directors want the studio to remaster their movie in the future...etc etc as they expect a flawless look on a high-def presentation.

How do we tell them if we play Predator, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider or Commando for instance? Are we gonna tell them it is the director's intention? or they decided to use cheap film stock... or the studio gonna remaster this soon? All they know: all hi-def = flawless picture & sound.

Fine grain is fine. It's the bigger ones that is distracting and also sometimes some digital noise that screwed the film look. This is all transfer problem. Try watching Tomb Raider... you'll know what I mean. Having said that, I don't fancy overly-used DNR & EE either.

Sorry, sold it already the minute I've finished watching it...

I've cancelled my pre-order knowing there's another "slightly" better version out there but dunno how to get that one. pfffft... they really messed-up with this lar...

No problem bro... to each their own. Maybe what I meant by BS is... Broad Sheet?

uhmm... looks like no chance of getting the Walmart version... is there? Most likely have to settle for the 2.35:1 ...

Wow, all that came in just nice...I wonder how r u gonna watch all that... which one will you start with?

That's right... the extra minute fight scene does make a difference in this kind of movie...

Are hitting on me?....

This title is meant for you solely for the "knowledge" it provides... not an entertainment tool per se ... as in their less than desired PQ (btw, is it grainy or not? )

I don't think you can track Expedited I'nal Shipping either.... only Priority, anyone can confirm?

Good deal... I suggest to everyone to buy now and keep... until you buy a new region-free playa

Anyone live in S'pore? But this is way to expensive....

Anyway, just to share.....

Absolutely right... my collection so far: Fantastic Four, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, Into The Blue and Good Luck Chuck... and counting.

Oh definitely yes... just waiting for price to drop, still too expensive. But very worth waiting for...

I have Awake, The Eye, Love Guru and Good Luck Chuck on downloaded AVI files stored in my PS3 HD (of course the last one already upgraded to blu-ray). Just waiting for the right time to upgrade BTW, I love Jen-Love too...

Sleeping Dictionary:
Oh ya, I've missed this one though, never had the chance to watch yet... as this is one of her early title on the big screen after Dark Angel tv appearance. I heard oso there's a scene but they used a body double... The first movie I watched of her was D.Barrymore's Never Been Kissed.... she's a bimbo here but sooo cute
