bro, can ask how $ u paid for STAR TREK? is it worth it?


Added on December 15, 2011, 2:14 pmtonight i might take a day off, will shoot some pic on LOST & HARRY PORTER for u guys.

by the way, i also received 1 package - 4 disc from AMZ US via IPARCEL, took 17 days only

USD $39.99 + USD $35.99 for both set. The price seems value base on actual selling price which is USD $99.99 + USD $69.99

The movie is great restoration............ but the packaging is OMG! It is damn old unit at stock, others people also mention at blu-ray.com

The extra plastic slipcover look pretty old, breaking at corner & a bit distortion even though it is 100% seal.

Just place order for Criterion Collection's The Last Temptation of Christ, a film directed by Martin Scorsese.  How is it compare to Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ?

I haven't watch any of these film.
Last Temptation should have some titi scene drool.gif , I will go for it as I am Martin fans.

US just re-release MI TRILOGY, merely using all old disc with new cover. Hopefully if MI4 is a big success, they will throw in some $ to remastered MI1 to 3.

i'll wait for a better boxset in the future ...

MI:1 is helmed by Brian de Palma... cant remember much of the plot but there r some significant scenes from that movie like the wire-rigged scene down the vault  thumbup.gif The sequel MI:2; more like a cartoon.... with that ridiculous motorcycle chase scene, ok for other John Woo flick but not MI...  rclxub.gif

I love Valkyrie... more for the collective acting by the array of British actors rather than Tom Cruise alone or the story as a whole...  tongue.gif

actually M.I.2 is the biggest box office hit in Tom Cruise M.I. franchise. MI2 gross over $220mil in US, M.I.1 success made $180mil, M.I.3 only made a decent $140mil. However i do agree now look back, M.I.2 is the worst. I love M.I1 the most, M.I.4 rank 2nd.

I do not agree Tom Cruise lately doesn't have any decent movie, only thing is his attitude & controlling issue, he always pick the good director to work with, but his character always the same - charming but suffering, always running around. I love him in TROPIC THUNDER, COLLATERAL, LAST SAMURAI, MINORITY REPORT, actually i love DAYS OF THUNDER, i felt it is a lot better than TOP GUN biggrin.gif


Added on December 19, 2011, 8:42 pmhi guys, AMZ UK SUPERMAN BOX SET AT GBP18, is it a good buy? AMZ US better?

it is a new reboot. You can catch some pretty neat reference to the original series too

Note that the TV show at the end stated that the spaceship ICARUS has been lost in space...

yup, 20TH CENTURY FOX has done well to refurbish 2 franchise - X-MEN & PLANET APES. thumbup.gif

package arrival time varies from places to places and also depends on your nearest POS delivery center's efficiency/service.

so Mr. A received his package today, doesnt mean Mr. B will receive em too.

all i can say patience...

Agree! be patience, not arrive on time not means missing.

Actually until now - I never face any parcel  missing. (Touch wood!)

It just some came superb late, but it is not missing.

i kena lost item only once, a big box with around 10 BD, i waited for 50 days over & asked for replacement. the replacement took another 30 days, so in total i waited for 80++ days.

today i found out another "weakness" in the pos delivery - AMZ DE is using DHL from GERMAN to Malaysia, then when it arrived MALAYSIA, POSLAJU is gonna deliver us the package. i order 1 box from AMZ DE, they send out on Dec 1st, arrived Penang on Dec 9th, but Penang POs laju never deliver it to me, until today I called DHL customer service, then only found out. rclxub.gif i am gonna to collect it later.

I also face once is they not delivered my item after over a day, so I call them, at 1st I call KL center but they told me already at JB. So I call JB center, who knows that service girl talk so rude and asking me go over collect as all PosLaju guy already went out, that is not the case as I call earlier morning, she some more told me I need to wait her long long to let her find my package.

I reply them if this is the case, what the point I use PosLaju, and etc.

Then I call back KL center and report whatever case happen in base service at JB center which not acceptable. The KL person is kind enough calling the JB center manager and then the JB Manager call me back and arrange the shipment to me in another 1/2 hour and mention to me they will investigate on that rude customer service person.
