About a year ago I could have gotten it fairly cheap at an FYE going out of business sale and I regret not doing this because it's never been cheaper than it was that day. Vagabundo posted:If you're in a Region B territory, or have a compatible player, Second Sight did a version of it in 2014 which is still in print. I've been promising myself I'd get a region free player for the last five or six years. I really need to just do it.

Roar is one of the most anxiety-inducing films I've ever seen and I spent the entire time screaming NO NO NO NO NO at the screen. Five stars.

Some of the poo poo they do to Melanie Griffith in that movie accidentally puts her on-par with Jackie Chan as a stunt performer.

Roar is the rare film that is worthy simply because it shows you something you cannot see anywhere else, that could not have been captured at any other moment in time. I think that's the definition of Pure Cinema, right?

Roar got mentioned a while back. The Blu-ray is currently part of the Olive Films buy one get one sale on Deep Discount. So I blind bought it along with China Gate. Last time I bought some stuff from them it was some Vestron Blu-rays, and it took a while for them to show up but the price was good.

Last time I bought some stuff from them it was some Vestron Blu-rays, and it took a while for them to show up but the price was good. I caught it on TCM Underground and once was enough, but I ended up getting One of Our Aircraft is Missing (Powell & Pressburger), two Republic serials (The Invisible Monster and Commando Cody), Dirty Work, Hope and Glory, and The Savage Innocents. They also had the Signature Editions of the Wachowski's Bound and Max Ophuls' Letter to An Unknown Woman for only $22 each while they're way more expensive on Amazon, plus they're likely to go out of print. While I don't have a lot of Olive releases, these are all good if they're part of the deal: Wagon Tracks (William S. Hart silent western) The Undesirable (early Michael Curtiz Hungarian silent) The Captive (early Cecil B. DeMille silent) Let There Be Light (John Huston's WWII films) All four Betty Boop volumes (while there's no extras and no digital cleanup was applied, they're at least from 4K scans) The Stranger (Orson Welles) - only licensed edition on Blu-ray, best quality out there The Signature Editions of Welles' Macbeth, The Quiet Man, High Noon, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Johnny Guitar, and A New Leaf are all excellent.

Are there any good Canadian websites for buying blu rays? Shipping and the exchange rate makes buying from most boutique labels way too expensive.

Grabbed two more Argento titles (Inferno and Phenomena) as well as The Human Condition trilogy. If anyone's been looking, Network appears to be in stock there after being out-of-stock literally everywhere else I've tried looking. Nixed it for The Human Condition set though.

Was going to sit this out, but had to bite since I had rewards points to use (much to my surprise). Went with all dual region releases this time - Gosford Park, 12 Monkeys, The Bird with the Crystal Plumage (haven't seen any Argento besides Suspiria), The Apartment, Schlock, and Mohsen Makhmalbaf: The Poetic Trilogy. I'll blame Criterion Now's recent podcast on Arrow's 2018 releases - The Poetic Trilogy seems interesting.

Is Tenebrae dual region? Blu-ray.com has the newest release listed as untested, and the older one with the same cover listed as B-locked. Also, I wonder how Kino's Thirst release will compare to the 2009 or 2010 Korean CJ release. It's a great disc but it's almost a decade old now, I wonder if it's getting a new scan.

If you're going to buy Tenebrae, buy Synapse's version: https://www.amazon.com/Tenebrae-Blu...ovies-tv&sr=1-1 It's the best looking version out there.

I poked around a little bit and it looks like Kino wasn't able to get the director's cut of Thirst. I can't remember if the extra stuff is a positive or a negative since the movie's already pretty long, but the Korean CJE release is one of my favorite imports since it's pretty hard to find now. I think I might have only ever seen the director's cut.

LORD OF BOOTY posted:Phenomena and Opera are the unsung heroes of Argento's filmography I think I've mentioned this before, but I really don't get Giallo. I've seen the genre standards like Phenomena (although I may have watched the wrong version) and Suspiria, and I've really made an effort but I just can't engage with it. It's like when I attempted to watch Arrival. I felt like a real dummy because I just couldn't engage with it and kept getting really restless watching it. I'm not saying they're "bad movies," I just can't get into them at all.

Opera might be the most visually stunning movie Argento ever made. I don't remember a drat thing about the plot, but I sure do remember the camerawork.
