    can anyone help with advice regarding Region 5 releases of Hollywood movies prior to Region 1 releas

It has come to my attention that many Hollywood movies are released on Region 5 before Region 1 & just as people used to import DVD from the USA into...

    GEORGE A. ROMERO'S DIARY OF THE DEAD coming to DVD 20/5 by Weinstein, why no presale?

    I saw this on a dealer list back in February & it still appears on dealer lists but nobody on the net seems to be taking orders for it. I was hoping to see artwork by now being just over 6 weeks away but no such luck. Why has there been no official announcement or web sites taking...

    Can anyone take a high quality screen shot from Heroes: Season 1 HD-DVD to blow up?

    This may sound odd but I want to find out if Peter Petrelli wears the same watch as me. In the episode that ends with him & Mohinder Suresh on a subway train, I think it may be around the 4th or 5th episode, it shows Peters wrist quite close up, he may be holding onto one of the trains hold...

    1408 DVD due for release Oct 2nd:the next DVD to have Unrated WS & Rated P&S versions

    This is happening a lot now but they're usually PG-13 rated films so does that mean the extra content on the Unrated version would be suitable for an R rating or would have to be NC-17 if shown in cinemas?

    Gemini Man - When will we get to relive this brilliant 70's TV classic?

    I vaguely remember watching this as a kid & thought even though he only had a few seconds of invisibility each day, it was better than The Invisible Man. I so wish it would come out on DVD so I could see if it's as good as I remember it.

    According to imdb.com this movie was shot in 2.35:1 but the sites I can find that show a ratio including rottentomates.com & dvdplanet.com say 1.85:1 so is the DVD Pan & Scan or zoomed & cropped or neither? imdb.com also says it used Super 35 so maybe you see virtually the whole frame if it...

    Howl's Moving Castle: 1 disc or 2

    There seems to be a difference of opinion from 1 web site to the next, Amazon, DVD Planet & CD Universe say 2 disc but DVD Price Search & a couple of other say 1. Features seem hardly worthy of a 2nd disc, being:- Behind the microphone; Interview with Pixar Animation Director Pete Docter...

    BLADE RUNNER - current DVD now officially DISCONTINUED. Could this be good news?

    I realise there is a Blade Runner thread but I thought this was worthy of it's own subject just so people can see it, if it gets murged later then people can at least discuss it in that thread. From what I've seen in the past, an announcement of a new Special Edition usually follows a month...
