Just 2,3 & 4

2 is cut, so i'm just sticking with my region 2 Dutch dvd

Well worth the upgrade on 3&4, as the transfers are widescreen :-)

Thanks for that, will stick with what I have for now then.

Did Michael "Calm down, dear" Winner direct all the Death Wish films?

How many were there?

Does Charles Bronson smile in any of them?!

He directed 1-3

There were 5 in total

Not that I remember lol

EDIT - Dammit beaten to it lol

Cant find my camera but have picked up...

The Watchmen Directors Cut on Blu as it was ?6.95 on Zavvi.

And my first import (such a pain worrying about region codes after years of multiregion dvd action). 'The Life and Death of a Porno Gang'. Doubt we will see an uncut version here as its in the same vein as A Serbian Film.

Just about found 5 in the HMV sale too so picked up Source Code, Moon, Drive, Taken and (the awesome) Rubber!

On boring old DVD I grabbed The Green Wing Definitive set!

[Soundwave]

Just googled that Life & Death movie...Sounds...interesting

I was a little surprised A Serbian Film got a release let alone more of the same in this...you'd have thought after that they'd have maybe stopped this one.

I understand why films like this exist to push the boundaries but even I find these 2 a little hard to stomach (not seen either & doubt I ever will)
I've drawn the line at Fred Vogels August Underground Trilogy & Slaughtered Vomit Dolls.
I really have little interest in going further than those these days.

You will have to let me know what you think though...I'm always interested to hear thoughts

Bit behind the times here, what is ultraviolet?

its live streaming of the movie for free - a bit like the stuff on itunes but its not compatible with itunes devices or itunes itself

[NW2013]

It's certainly not free but it is like iTunes. It's basically supposed to be an online library for your movies that you can view on different devices, download for offline viewing, etc. Seems like it's going to be supported by a lot of studios and stores. See here: http://www.reghardware.com/2012/04/0...s_ultraviolet/

the only movies i would even consider redeeming are ones that came with my blu rays for free - hence how i say them for free

but i wouldnt use the service anyway

[NW2013]

Apologies, I see what you mean. It's a bit like the 'triple play' sets you can get at the moment.

It was actually made before A Serbian Film apparently...probably got the release because of all the hoo-ha over that film.
I dont watch too many "extreme" films nowadays, I did go through a phase a while back of buying every film the BBFC banned (which actually is only about 5 and the one I didnt get was due to blasphemy) or heavily cut for release but most of those films are terrible. Other than the dutch dvd of Ichi the Killer and R1 Grotesque it was a bit of a waste of cash. Never bothered with the Human Centipede films luckily.

But I really liked A Serbian Film, in the same vein as Irreversible for me. Definitely not date movies though

Might be a while before I review it for you tho as it definitely needs a happy state of mind, the way I feel at the mo is alot more suited to watching The Greenwing

Yeah it sounded like it was made before A Serbian Film.
I haven't sat down with an "Extreme Film" for a long time, the wife hates them so they just sit unwatched these days.

I did really enjoy collecting them & the hunt trying to find them was part of the fun.
Is the Dutch version of Ichi any different? I have the US release but didn't investigate any further than that as I was quite happy with that version.
The Human Centipede films just seemed too weird even for me so avoided them totally.

No worries about the review I'm in no rush
I have to be in the right mood for them when I watch them as well.

Anway a couple of new arrivals for me today...



Been after Appleseed for a while so was chuffed when I found it.

My Universal Classic Monsters Collection - Limited Edition has shipped from Amazon. Can't wait!

[BaronSqwelch]

It is a great collection...I got it on DVD years ago with the Sideshow Collectibles busts of Dracula, The Wolfman and Frankenstein!
Bride of Frankenstein is one of the best films ever imo

@Soundwave - thinkthe Dutch Ichi is the same as the unrated US one but was cheaper on ebay at the time

[Soundwave]

Thanks Groover
Stick with what I have then

My latest purchase turned up today...

Play Exclusive Terminator Steelbook

Love the classic universal monsters. Don't know where i'm going to put this collection, its shaped like a coffin. Can't wait to check out its extras and see Creature from the Black Lagoon in 3D.
