Wow! thanks biggrin.gif The Fast Five is nice!!! That Paul & 2012 is nice as well.

What is Tropic Thunder about? Never heard before.

thanks buddy, FAST 5 steelbook is really a beauty, thumbup.gif

PAUL - my steelbook actualy got dented at the top, and i lost the disc rclxub.gif , it is available at AMZ DE

2012 is pure dark black, wait for AMZ DE sales smile.gif

TROPIC THUNDER is a very funny movie, the bluray disc is near ref material with awesome picture & sound. i already got the US standard version, but this is my top 30 movie, so upgrade to steelbook packing. thumbup.gif but not sure u like it or not.

i am aiming at AMAZON CANADA STEELBOOK - A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE, EASTERN PROMISE, POLAR EXPRESS, FROM DUSK TILL DAWN, AMERICAN HISTORY X, HEAT icon_rolleyes.gif

ALSO already ordered HMV UK EXCLUSIVE STEELBOOK - CAPTAIN AMERICA, ALIEN & COWBOY smile.gif

Welcome on-board biggrin.gif
I already own Paul normal edition, I don't think I will upgrade to Steelbook version, I too rush order US edition when I find out UK steelbook is OOP, I didn't know DE is having it as well. How come your BD is MIA? If you can't find back the BD and decide selling the steelbook case itself, kindly let me know. smile.gif

2012 is nice, but I have the normal edition as well.

Is Tropic Thunder comedy? I check review at blu-ray.com it seems quite high, but looking on to the picture itself, I had a feeling it is a comedy right?

I also aim a lot Amazon Canada Steelbook, include:


  • The Exorcist (I know the Alliance steelbook only came with Director cut edition, I am fine with it)

  • The Shawnshank Redemption (My all time favor film, if you never watch before, go grab it, too good to be miss!)

  • American History X (I knowing Edward Norton because of this film, brilliant acting and story line)

  • From Dusk Till Dawn (From user review, Alliance Canada release is greater than US release)

  • Requiem For A Dream (I never watch this before, I want it because it is from Black Swan Director)

  • Equilibrium (I know the aspect ratio still wrong and it seems only Japan came with correct aspect ratio, maybe I will grab the Japan edition one fine day and replace the BD. The Japan edition is the only correct aspect ratio release with TrueHD, too bad the price is high! around RM 162).


As for HMV UK, I do pre-ordered Captain America & Super 8, but... since my Thor is MIA & I not really like HMV CS and business style... hmm... I hope and pray it do came one fine day.

Yeah!  icon_idea.gif

hi bro,

for EXORCIST & SHAWSHANK, i believe DIGIBOOK is available at AMZ US a resonable $, u might consider it, IT HAS BOOKLET

TROPHIC THUNDER is a comedy, lots of in joke, TOM CRUISE /BEN STILLER/ROBERT DOWNEY JR., JACK BLACK all r awesome inside.

Go ahead for FROM DUSK TILL DAWN, i own the CANADA ALLIANCE RELEASE, picture n sound is very good, with subtitle too.

EQUILIBRIUM - i would advice u to hold your horses on this title, i think LION GATES will release it soon (just like MIMIC, THE OTHERS)

All my HMV title i ship to UK MY SISTER PLACE N SHE WILL HAND CARRY FOR ME WHEN SHER IS BACK, SO FOR ME NO ISSUE, BUT I HAVE TO WAIT FOR her nearly a year.

i just order AKIRA STEELBOOK N JURASIC PARK TIN last night, hope AMZ UK will pack it nicely.

Received my Stanley Kubrick collection from Amazon UK today. Despatched on 16 oct, lepas by custom 20 Oct so the trusted Royal Mail is still tops. My local Mister Posman also OK-lah considering the weekend.

This is the 8-disc edition (7 movies plus a bonus disc on Stanley Kubrick). I chose this over the US/Canadian edition because of the easier to handle flip case as can be seen from the shots below, apart from the price. Taking out the discs was also very tough initially in its virgin state because of the very tight fit. But after a few in-out, in-out, it was OK; probably better than the problem with the US edition. Apart from the packaging and minus the two films, I believe the included movies are the same as those in the US edition except for The Shining. Here it is the director's cut at 119 minutes European release vs the extended version of 144 minutes for the US release and there are pros and cons on the two versions. It is a pity they did not include both versions in either release. Anyway, here are some shots and if they have been posted before by somebody else, just ignore.
BTW, this is still available at Amazon UK for GBP24.51 (inclusive of shipping) so a bloody good buy for fans of Stanley Kubrick.

Overall package.

thanks for sharing, i got the US VERSION, i am happy with it, although the bookcase is not practical, it is very beautiful indeed. what i do is i took out all disc & kept disc at a cd multi holder. the bookcase is another display items.

for Shinning, i didn't realised there is 2 version. thanks for highlight.

some info for the 2 film u missing - SPARCATUS is good movie but universal studio bluray release is a soso only.
DR. STRANGLOVE is from SONY and received very good review, however it is black n white old movie, so don't expect too much.

last night watch THOR, 7.1 DTS-HD, very loud & active, movie wise i thought has a decent story, good acting too, but the final battle between good & evil is so so.

Sorry just read your post and bro ronald kwok just answered it
No problem, it is playable with our player
Do you mean your Rashomom DVD also have this kind of situation. If listening in Japanese got English subs but if choose English audio there is no subs or other language subs.

Yeah this is kinda upsetting for me. As I'm a bit particular with this kind of matter. As I like to watch movies in their original language with subs. Even if buying them the title on the cover must be the original one

Example :  Harry Potter und die Heiligtümer des Todes and there is no English title on the cover I won't buy it even how beautiful it is.  doh.gif

*
the subtitle weakness also happen on some US release - CRITERION COLLECTION - THE CARLO and CRONO - when they speak french/german/dutch, english subtitle appear, when they speak english, no subtitle, and believe me, u wouldn't enderstand the word from european when they speak english rclxub.gif

Yes been googling for an answer but still have found it. Being in front the PC since morning until 3 pm trying to find an answer about this BD and another problem I encountered when I updated the phone new firmware, all my songs & videos disappear and can't be sync back.
This 2 things made me pissed & furious.

From my experience if I buy something now usually the price will drop soon afterward but if I play the waiting game confirmed the price will go up & sometime nearly a year only will drop. Kinda weird.

i will hold, i believe SUPERMAN UK VERSION will drop to around UK$19 soon.

The Superman Anthology at Amazon UK for GBP24.99 now is already a very good buy, much cheaper than the deal of the day at Amazon US for USD55.99 (expiring soon!). Looks like the contents are the same with 8 BDs and the only difference is the US edition comes in a nice box while the UK one has just a simple slip case. You can try your luck and wait for BF but there is no guarantee that this will be on offer then.  doh.gif

ya, this is a dificult choice, it u buy AMZ UK at a cheaper $, but u really love the SUPERMAN SERIES, later u might regrect why not choose the nicer looking US set? this happen to me when i bought MATRIX UK SET N THEN UPGRADE TO US SET.
