ORIGINAL SIN-UNRATED is available in German, quality soso only, but still watchable. brows.gif


Added on April 3, 2011, 9:39 amSEVEN SAMURAI, a Japanese Samurai movie made in 1950s by AKIRA KUROSAWA. It has no CGI, no violence, not in cinema scope (1.33 ratio) and even no color, yet it became an instant epic in action movie. good story, directing, acting, i just love it.

CRITERION collection on SEVEN SAMURAI is cool. however, the pic quality is just not up to the HD standard.

laugh.gif  Movie itself is not important.  I don't think in future, Angelina Jolie will accept this kind of nude in her movie.  Only available before she is famous.  By the way, heard their said that if you want to watch uncut version, you can only look for VHS version not DVD.  hmm.gif

ANGELINA got a very long /uncut scene in ORIGINAL SIN - UNRATED, for her is no big deal, may be uncle BRAD doesn't like to share with us.

While waiting for Gia, maybe we can take a look for Megan Fox's latest film, Passion Play, with will release on Blu-ray on 31/05/2011.

Too bad this is straight to DVD/Blu-ray.  So, you will not find it at any Theater at this world except premiere at Toronto.  tongue.gif

wow, megan fox, any titi or bb?

I have this but yet to watch. If Criterion can't do it up to HD standard (to borrow your phrase), who can?  hmm.gif

By the way, has anyone watched this one?

Johnny Mad Dog. Available from Amz Fr

Criterion has spend lots of effort in restored & remastered Seven Samurai, however the original film negative is not available anymore. The BDs quality is ok, i did not mean to criticise it, somehow i just wish it could be better as it is my top 10 movie, i just could not treat the BDs as my top 10 BD. I just wish it Pic quality can match CRITERION another Samurai Box set Yojimbo & Sanjuro.

i really wanted to add Johnny MAd Dog to my collection, the BDS review is available at bluray.com french section. the rating is at very top, but it is a very violence movi.

have u check out my pic on GANGS OF NEW YORK from AMZ CANADA? very good pic quality, i have done some checking, it is the same as AMZ US 2nd remastered release, just with a much more cooler steelbox.

Based on current www.blu-ray.com database, at least 107 movies got either DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 or 2.1.
*
CRITERION LAT EMPEROR pic is not in original aspect ratio, it is in 2.1 to 1, the original ratio should be 2.35

AMZ GERMAN might goin to release LAST EMPEROR at 2.35 to 1, stay away from CRITERION first

i know, brother, i just wanted to add another point that THE CRITERION COLLECTION's THE LAST EMPEROR should not be the best choice.

i can accept 2 channel cause not all movies were made for 5.1 channel, WOODY ALLEN always prefer mono/stereo, lots of movies prior to 1990s were recorded in stereo.

CRITERION is very faithful in the presenting the sound in original feel, not like BLUEUNDERGROUND always remix all the 1960s & 1970s horror movie from stereo to 7.1

however for THE LAST EMPEROR, I kind of curious also why no 5.1 , afterall, it was made in mid 1980s & it was a big budget movie.

my LAST EMPEROR is from UK OPTIMUM & got stereo 2.0 (LPCM) only

Apart from that Criterion's The Last Emperor also don't have uncut version.  That is main reason I never buy The Last Emperor...

For steelbook, if there is limited edition, you can resale it at higher price and make a profit after it is run out of stock  tongue.gif .

For example, for Scott Pilgrim vs. The World Double Play - Limited Edition Steelbook [Blu-ray] [2010], I brought it at £14.46 and it is out of stock no long after release date.  Now ppl sale the new one for £46.99 to £65.95 whistling.gif.  Too bad, mine already used.

wow, even better than investing in stock, ok, will order 2 set of SCARFACE

same go here brother,

i was treated even worst, they didn't refund me a single cent & waited for another 30 days. after the waiting, they refund me & send me a replacemnet by charging me again, the in & out in USD$ always cost me a lot for ex-rate dif.

may be they hv encountered to many lost/delay in package whereby they cannot affort to pay$ as compensation anymore.
