39 Steps.

Hitchcock with Richard Donat.

Seems charmingly innocent, enjoyable and great H touches.

Interesting Hitch Biog in the extras.

"Jarhead" from Amazon rental. Not that impressed.

Watched “Leon” last night, one of my all time favourite Films.

The more I watch it the more I appreciate just how good the direction is by Luc Besson.

It is probably the best part that Gary Oldman has ever played, the ultimate in “mad, bad and dangerous to know” villain.

Had the Cream Reunion DVD on earlier (or even yesterday!) just to show off that we made it on to the screen sitting in the front row on the Thursday night! What a feeble claim to fame!

Does anyone know or remember the film, "Bad Day At Black Rock," which is not a Cowboy and Indian film but a very tense murder thriller? It is available but only in the US. If anyone is interested I thoroughly recomend it.

All the best from Fredrik!

Bad Day at Black Rock(1955)is regarded as a classic.

Spencer Tracy as the one armed stranger is fantastic.

Blythe Spirit.

Directed by David Lean, produced by Noel Coward & based on his play.

Stars Rex Harrison and the youngest Margerate Rutherford I've seen on film.

Bought from HMV on sale for £2.99.

The word I'd use is charming. Some very witty lines and an enjoyable couple of hours.

Hysteria - The Def Leppard Story.

Made for TV film.

Pretty good for what it is. You'd obviously have to be a fan, like me to even bother, but well worth it if you do !

Are the classic cartoons like Tom and Jerry and Woody Woodpecker on DVD? These are timeless, and always good for a spirit lifting experience!

Hi Fredrik,

If you're a Fred Quimby-era fan, you should look for the crop of "Classic Collection" Tom and Jerry cartoons that are available. As an example, Amazon (UK) carry them here.

Recently watched Underworld: Evolution. If you didn't like Underworld, you won't like this. If you liked Underworld, the sequel is better, not least because there's a tad more flesh on show in the sequel! Smile

Seems to me like a very well put together DVD (but another one with no DTS darn it).

And at the movies, we went to see Over The Hedge, which is absolutely brilliant, hilarious, just excellent.

Go see it, you won't regret it.

Been enjoying the fruits of HMV's summer sale in the form of season one of House (great fun to watch Hugh Laurie playing seriously precisely the kind of character he and Fry lampooned so brilliantly a few years ago) and, at the weekend, Mr and Mrs Smith (rather enjoyable).

Got my copy this morning - Looking forward to a Great night in...

Chris/Trevor,

Does it have an LPCM stereo track?

On play it just shows DD 5.1 & stereo.

Thx,

Martin

Strange DVD ... The Aspect Ratio is 4:3 where I would have thought a stage would make the ideal 16:9 ratio.
There are 2 audio tracks a DD5.1 @448kbs and a DD5.1 @640kbs for the concerts only. The latter has to be selected in the start menu and does sound very good. The picture quality is also ace. All round a great DVD well worth waiting for.

Munch / Trevor,

Confused!

Munch you have appended a 'yes it does' to my question - BUT then Trevor says that there are two 5.1 soundtracks!

Can one/both of you confirm the position for me before I order it.

Thx,

Martin

Martin,

Sorry didn't look down the menu far enough. There are 2 DD5.1 sound tracks as I mentioned and a Stereo soundtrack.
If you like or have ever liked Pink Floyd this is a must have DVD. A True Masterpiece.
