Agreed. UK's BDs overall are still darn cheap compared to US; provided it's region-free of course (I dont have RF player). I bought Cars from Amazon UK last year thru BOGO... but after a while, when I look at the package overall, still felt something wrong with it eventhough there's nothing wrong with it! haha.....

And ended up buying the US version during BF and leave the UK's one still unwrapped! 
Is that right? Based on your recent posts, I thought you must've been one of the fastest newbie BD collector in recent memory (hehe...) where most of your collection are Bollywood flicks. You must start collecting now bro.... it's an infection 

Haha..

Bro S is bollywood specialist/dealer mah.. anyway if not mistaken.. n I m quotin him.. got like 20 odd ttls out in hd only n if u consider wat cums out frm India's film industry..

Watched Monsoon Wedding (Criterion) a couple of days ago. Captures the elements of marriage chaos to the parents and all around.

Very interesting watch. Mira Nair is pretty good at weaving a tale. Yes there is the songs, but in all Indian weddings there are actual singing and dancing (North India). She works the characters pretty well, and brings the tale of a traditional India moving into Modern India. Not sure if non Indians will actually see what's being potrayed, but still there is a lot of stuff to take out of it. Those of us who are parents have girls to give away as a bride one day can reflect upon the dads feelings. She tackles a lot of issues, that are new to India (in 2001) like, love before marriage, how the society deals with the western influence, parents choices for their kids and childrens loyalty.

PQ - This is interesting. Criterion did a fabulous job in this restoration as this was initially captured in 16mm and then blown up to 35mm. Grain haters beware....Stay away, but this is how it was shot, also to give the gritty feel of India and its streets.

AQ - Very good 3 channel, the surrounds are sparsely used, but subtle when needed.

I would give it a 2 thumbs up. However, I dare not recommend this to all those who have wrote to hate Bollywood song and dance. Although, in this case it is not a normal Bollywood, there are song and dance but it is at a wedding and it is a real reflection of actual weddings.

IIANM One of them was region locked....

Ah, something changed then. Predator standalone is region locked, they must have re-released like X-Men.

AMZ's discs info is really bad.. totally unreliable.. I guess its cut n paste frm SD info.. they stil use AC3 in odo in sum cases..

Better to rely on independent rvwrs..

there is 3 book of lotr..how can only 3 episode?
i think episode 2 is the best among all..
1st is the most boring one... 

Closing deal

Anyone plan to order Showgirls 15th Anniversary Blu-ray on June 15, 2010. Another NC-17 film on it way to BD. 

Avatar  director James Cameron, actress Sigourney Weaver, actor Joel David Moore and producer Jon Landau travelled to São Paulo, Brazil this weekend to plant the first of the million trees in the initiative supported by 20th Century Fox coinciding with the Blu-ray release of the film on Earth Day. The press event included a sneak peek of the Avatar  Blu-ray and some discussion of the upcoming releases.

The showcase played back five scenes from the Blu-ray on an array of Panasonic displays, including a mammoth 103-inch plasma. The result was allegedly "impeccable." James Cameron said that they took the time to guarantee that the audio and video quality matched perfectly what we saw in theatres.

Regarding the Special Edition, expected for November, Weta Digital is working on the new sequences. Also included will be extensive making-of documentaries and a record of Cameron's latest visit to the Brazilian rainforest.

Jon Landau hinted at a 3D version by saying, "Probably by the end of the year we'll have an estimated release date."
