In my mind, Evil Dead 2 always worked as both a sequel and a remake.

The link to deep discount is indeed the the re-cut version, or at least has the same cover as the re-cut. The R2 original, incorrectly framed version is available at http://www.play.com/play247.asp?page...g=blood+simple I'd forgotten the music problems that Blood Simple had over the end...

Henry, UK R2 has a open Matte or Pan and scan (can't remember which) of the original Blood Simple available on DVD. I own it, but am ashamed to admit that it remains unopened on my shelf next to the US version.

Ocean, Divimax is just a brand that Anchor Bay have incorporated to say that it's taken from a HD source, sort of similar to Columbia's Superbit (before I get flamed, the two brands have different goals). Pan and scan though is a term that I believe is part of this forums mission statement, so I...

I recently rented Jersey Girl in the UK. It has a 12 rating, but I couldn't believe what I heard on the commentary tracks! I know that the BBFC rates everything, but you seriously wonder if they listened to this one? As an adult, I thought that Kevin Smiths comments were hilarious (especially...

All the Universal Monster Legacy Collections are great! It's hard to argue that they don't care about their product when these are out there. Sure Warners are loads better at it, but that doesn't mean Universal is abusing their catalog.

I'm pleased that people can buy the new cheaper set. However, may I further add that I thought that Universal always handled the situation to the best of their abilities. A major mistake was made, but I found that they rectified it very well. I imported the Canadian set back in December 2002...

Any news on when a trilogy boxset might be released, as I held off buying the relatively barebones first 2? Considering the great extras on Desperado, El Mariachi, and DDusk till Dawn, I'd hope for a good set. To answer my own question though, Rodrigeuz seems to be constantly making other...

In the last couple of days, this seems to have spread all over the place, with CHUD, Dark Horizons and even the usually reliable Digital Bits. The one thing they all seem to have in common is confusion though, as none of the above sites seem to know what the actual court case was about. I'm sure...

I've started renting these, and have only gotten to episode 8. Although it's a nice enough show, the characters seem to be going absolutely nowhere. It seems to be - Clark is scared of asking Lana out, Lex organises it for him, he stands her up because he's fighting the newly created baddie from...

Joe, I don't think Michael has said that he MUST have the film projected the way it was in cinemas, he's just saying that it's an option that some people appreciate. Michaels arguement seems to me that if Romero isn't yelling blue murder about it, then neither is he (I don't agree with the...

Ah, aspect ratios, you've got to love them!!! Although it's clean cut to many films what the "correct" ratio is, there are always those pesky films where there are arguments for more than one. In this particular case I think we're just going to have to go with personal preference. I've not heard...

Intersting review Michael, and I think I'll buy it for the commentary alone (I was burgalled a couple of years ago and my AB Martin was my biggest regret). However I'm quite surprised by the feeling that there was so much missing. I agree with you, but only after I found out that there was a...

any reviews available for this yet?

Arrow 4:3 version it is then (cheap in the UK at £6.99 ). As for the commentary track, is it definitely different from the old AB track, as I remember Savini and Romero in that.

I eagerly await any reviews of this, as my Anchor bay copy got stolen a while back. This is the one disc I've not been able to replace to my satisfaction as the AB disc has been out of print for a long time. This is my last hope as I was going to get the R2 Arrow release, as it's 1.33 but...

I'm halfway through Disc 2, and (touch wood) not had any problems whatsoever. It does sound though that this may be a problematic set. On a side note, I'm really enjoying this season. When watching it on TV I felt let down after the superb 2nd series, but it seems to be playing much better...

Derek, ever tried internet rentals? I believe there are many fine sites in America, netflix being the most popular, and I believe this site is sponsored by nicheflix. I am a member of ScreenSelect in the UK, but have found it superb for renting TV shows.

Excellent to hear Greg! I did log on to say that I watched all of Manchester Part II last night and had no problems whatsoever. However Gary Nash's post has disconcerted me a little. Suppose I won't know till I finish the season. Still gotta say I hate the DVD-18 format anyway, thank goodness I...

Got the set yesterday, and was watching it last night. I got to about half way through Manchester Part II, but not sure if I passed the 18-22 minute mark (I was tired). I noticed no problems whatsoever, so either it's not a widespread problem, or I turned it off just before I got to your...

I know that adding my email will be hammering the point home, as everyone has said it. The Frankenstein Legacy Boxset is an absolute steal compared to the original BOF disc. All the films are worth watching, but even if you just want Bride, it's still cheaper and has a better transfer. If...

It looks like Babylon 5 series 5 has been postponed to what looks like Jan next year in the UK. As someone who finished Series 4 a month ago, there are not enough expletives in the world for my anger right now. I know I could import it, but these babies are so expensive...

CHUD a real fanboy review.

Received this wonderful looking set at work today, and can't wait to get home and look at one of my favorite films. By the way Michael, Argento cut Dawn for an Italian crowd, not the UK. The UK have only in the last year allowed the extended cut through uncut, they would certainly not have...

Just finished Season 4 last night. Deconstruction of Falling stars is truly a bizarre episode! Don't get me wrong, I liked it, but it just seemed such a crazy idea for a season finale. I've read troughout this thread that Season 5 was in jeopardy for some time, and that this episode was written...

I can see what Jeremy is saying in the original post. Once Star Wars has come out, the cult of DVD collecting is no longer a cult anymore. It has spread around the world and now everyone's grandparents have a little home theater set up. Now I know that this has been the case for quite some time...

I bought the R2 set (all anamorphic transfers) cheaply, can't really justify the new boxset. Although I would love extras on Rocky III and IV, as they are brilliant commentaries on fame and america respectively!

I believe I saw one of these in the cinema when growing up! As I was probably 8ish at the time, I'm afraid I can't remember the exact aspect ratio. However I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed them, once again that could be due to my age! For the ridiculously low price though I'm willing to...

There are several events depicted in the pilot that are referenced to in later episodes, so highly recommended that you watch it first

Also the Canadian versions by Paramount have Biligual packaging, unlike the WB
