I have the StudioCanal release of this one. Good news: The director's cut is a magnitude better than the theatrical release. Bad news: The transfer is a mixed bag and I doubt this disc can improve on it. Reason being that the original footage of the restored scenes was thrown out at some...

Aren't you guys a bit overreacting? I mean especially in Canada... you can after all still pick up the american release if you want an all-english packaging. And what exactly ist so funny about "Sep7", considering that the english title is "Se7en"?

I don't own the DVD, nor have I seen it, but you should keep away from any DVD produced by "Laserparadise / Astro" like the german Halloween DVD, regardless of whatever "bonus materials" they might have dug up. Chances are you will get abominable picture and sound and only the german dubbed...

Oliver, I'd still add, that a movie might not get a certificate by the FSK (the ratings board) at all. This treatment is usually reserved for ultra-violent films or films which in one way or the other violate regulations of the StGB. A film which does not carry a FSK certificate is in...

I have the DVD here right in front of me and whoever claims, that the video is sub-par is way too critical.

This topic comes up again and again and I am getting tired of it. I have written whole monologues and have no intention to do so again, since in every thread like this the very same arguments against dubs surface disregarding anything written in prior threads though at least some people here...

Mark, The African Queen is available in both the UK and Germany but I would strongly suggest that anyone interested buys the British release. I do not own the German release and it does contain the original english soundtrack, but it was released by Eurovideo! Okay, that doesn't tell anyone who...

Bjoern, I am none too happy about the missing subtitles myself, luckily I can manage (barely) to understand spoken French. However, I don't quite understand your criticism of the video quality of the TFE SE. Well I understand that you criticise it , because it really is not very good, but I...
