I find your post a bit confusing Shawn.Saying movies from other countries are not up to par with American films i find ridiculous.If anything the reverse is true because otherwise why is Hollywood so obsessed with grabbing the remake rights to every good foreign movie out there.Higher budgets...

Although the 3 i mentioned are known for some of there more extreme work i would not pidgeon hole any of them.They are all capable of extrordinary work in dramatic and artistic ways.Examples Park Chan-Wook;Joint Security Area, Takashi Miike;The Bird People In China, Kim...

Ok here it is,my official verdict on Tae Guk Gi .Well the short version is it is the best war movie i have ever seen in my life.A hands down winner but there are several reasons why. The obvious comparison is with Saving Private Ryan because of the similar filming of the chaos of war,that is...

Ok i'll give you Charlie Kaufman, Wes Anderson and Sofia Coppola strait off the bat.Some of the others would have to come under a bit of scrutiny though.:D Christopher Nolan poached "Insomnia" and is doing a batman movie :thumbsdown: Cameron Crowe i would never forgive for repackaging "Open...

Meanwhile a revolutionary invention has been announced that is being touted as something that will change the world.They call it "The Wheel" :D Come on guys,this is why asian cinema is kicking you @ss's till your nose's bleed.You guys seem to have run out of ideas over there while people like...

That sucks bigtime I guess it could be a long wait for a definitive version of this film.In the meantime i guess it comes down to picture or sound.I really love the full bitrate dts of the edko release but the starmax is probably gonna look sweet.

Well i hope this doesn't sound to harsh but for me they are looking as largely irrelevant.Why?Well because unless something amazing happens with cinema in the English speaking world in the next month or so i would say most of the films in my top ten for 2004 will be foreign. The Oscars...

Ok the korean Starmax version is listed as comming out on nov 25 2004.The transfer should be good if there past record for high quality dvd's is taken into account.They are not listing it with a dts soundtrack as far as i can see though Guess w'll have to wait and see. Japan version has a...

Here is another objective review of the dvd that whilst detailing the shortcomings of the transfer still points out that . How many other dvd releases have come out this year with a sensational dts soundtrack for this price? Now i don't have time for this anymore i'm watching the dvd...

No rich i'm not the only one

This link with screenshots will explain the shortcommings of the transfer.Naturally i will be re buying a better version of this film that has been mastered from an original ntsc source.It may be months before an ultimate edition similar to the one that was done by Bitwin for "Hero" becomes...

We must be looking at a different dvd because i have no idea what your talking about Rich.This is a very watchable dvd on my setup.As for bad transfers well some of the r3 releases of the 80's HK stuff are pretty dodgy.The original r1 pan/scan release of Roman Polanski's "Frantic" is one that...

I would give it the best picture Oscar now!We have that sorted now do any of you c***'s want a drink?

Ohh come off it!!What's with all the whining?It's only a budget release and it looks fine to me.While it's a long way off a slick hollywood transfer it's still totally clean with vibrant colors.The dts soundtrack is absolutely awesome,i almost wet myself in the Echo Game scene It's a total...
