Good to know that but I am holding until there is a review esp on its AQ. The original LOTR trilogy's AQ is

I have not read any review of the film but neither I am expert in flim reviewing - but yes, don't expect the film transfer to be anywhere near top-notch but you have to remember the film is almost 20 years old or more. Some grain is noticeable but at an acceptable level. But when you are watching the film, I am focusing on the martial art movement rather than the grainy issue - thus, maybe I did not notice the quality transfer issue.

As far as the AQ is concerned, no problem for me - the fighting sequence between Jet Li and the Villian (ladder fighting scenes) are just superb. Maybe is my lower expectations or I may not have a very good HT but I find the AQ to be great.

I bought the BD at Speedy - cost me RM79.90

But I believe you can get the whole boxset online - yesasia or DVDbearer or something like that - which is based in HK. It is slightly cheaper. I am not sure if the film is available in AMZ.

Wanted to get this, too bad is region B.. aargh.. so affordable.

GBP 5.19

18SX

Which one? Prophet got very good rating from IMDB.. that 18sx movie got to ask bro LOW98944..

If you buy that movie, I believe still got slipcover. My conclusion for that movie, although I only preview for few mins, this is S&M movie

If I remember correctly, Salo also got 1 booklet about this movie.

For me, I think this is one of the worst movie ever simply because it is not my cup of tea. This BD likely will continue collect dust for many years to come.

Aiyer..... such a shitty movie.. waste money only.. thanks Andrew & Low98944 for the comments..

The BD release of Heat is not bad. As for Seven Samurai, it's from Criterion. Check it out

Un Prophete is an awesome movie. Invest in Region A edition bro. Worth every penny.

Or I pinjam u also can.

I recommend The Baader Meinhof Complex [a.k.a. Der Baader Meinhof Komplex]. Got some nudity (no too much if compared to Salo) . This is Documentary + Drama movie. One thing to note that this movie only got German language . You can wait until price drop back to $15.99 before order it.

Of course, if you don't like documentary type of movie, just skip it.

hi dario,
ya i got the HEAT & Seven Samurai BD. just not satisfied. WB should had released HEAT in digibook. CRITERION SEVEN SAMURAI is good, but the PC quality just not up to my expectation, especially compared to YOJIMBO & SANJURO.

Just want to ask a quick question.

Earlier this month, on a business trip to Belgium, I bought a BD - Robin Hood Steelbook edition (blind purchase) without checking the Region code. As far as I know the AMZ UK edition is Region AB.

Try to play it on by BD Player - it pass through the initial screen - like warning, copyright and so on. BD player also detected Cinema content of the disc. But upon reaching the loading page - going to the main menu - it just stuck there for a long time.

I cannot even turn off the BD player via remote or pressing the hard button on the player itself - I have to unplug the wire and plug it back in order for me to eject the disc.

Does that mean that this is a Region B locked disc? Anybody experience this before?

hi bro,
1st - what brand is your player (sony/samsung?)
2nd - if Zone B disc, usually it would hv the message of ZONE B once u put in your disc, it would not cause your player hang.
did it go to the main menu for u to choose, like film, scene, audio option? or it direct stuck b4 the movie menu?
3rd - i believe is your firmware not updated.

forgot to mention, Robin Hood menu is a complicated one, it took my Pioneer 3 minutes to read.

Hi bro,

1. I am using the Panasonic BD-45. Bought it in December. This player is without internet connection. Thus, I am not too sure how to upgrade the firmware.

2. It did not reach the main menu - the first menu, it ask which language to select, after selecting English, it prompt me some copyright and warning message. Then the screen turn black with a tiny icon in the middle indicating it is loading. And it just continue to be in that screen for 5 minutes or more. So I decided to stop it from loading and it just hang.

3. How to upgrade firmware?

hi bro,
u can upgrade via internet, or u can bring your player to PANA service centre for upgrading, i believe 1st year is FOC.
i believe is your firmware cannot read the menu.
u might want to try again, this time just wait for longer.
i will try to use my PANA 85 to play Robin tonight, will see what turn out.

Finally, today my 42nd and 43rd movie arrived from B&N. It took almost one month to arrive



I really need to relook if I ever want to purchase from them again since I am not a member - cannot enjoy discount or coupons

i still got 7 shipments from AMZ US, 4 overdue (>30 days) & 1 lost in mail (>60 days).

i been cursed. will wait fo 1 more week then complain.

good choice for BRAVEHEART & FORREST GUMP in SAPPHIRE SERIES. best bluray quality.

Damn, they still send it without slipcover !

If you look at the price stats , it has not dropped below $15 since Dec 2010 , retains at the average of $20 - $24.
Now its about time to get it at $23.99.
