There's a running joke amongst some who favor the Criterion Collection that if you want to see any particular DVD get a blu-ray/4K upgrade, someone has to go out of their way to spend a stupid amount on eBay for it. Only then will it be announced the following month as a reasonably priced upgrade.
Dumb and Dumber
Platoon
The most eclectic triple bill!!🤣
I suppose it is. Haven t seen Benedetta yet, and it s been many, many years since I saw Platoon. Recently saw Dumb and Dumber, but on a really lousy VHS copy.
Replaced my copy as I had given it to my Dad, who'd only seen the film once and wanted to watch it again.
I still only have this purchased on digital, I am still undecided which Disk version of the film to get, I may treat myself to the film on disk at Christmas.
I regret not getting the steelbook; I hope they release a better looking one one day.
I have the 4k bluray disc, it is stunning!
I bet this one looks incredible on 4K. I didn't buy it myself but I did really love the film.
The last 30 minutes does turn into a Mission Impossible movie 😂 though its a lot of fun. I immediately watched the end again as soon as the film finished, the IMAX sequences look amazing.
Soundtrack CD: David Newman - Anastasia (1997) € 3,00. Only 4 from first 16 tracks are score tracks. Turn out to be Belgium edition because it include bonus 17th track in Dutch by original Belgium dubbing voice of Anastasia. Funny is that original Dutch dubbing voice is done by another but in The Netherlands more fames Belgium artist.
Today:
BD: Me Before You (2916) € 0,50 (New)
Directed by Tom Hooper (Les Misérables 2012) Also starring Andrew Scott (Spectre), Tom Wilkinson.
I've been meaning to watch this miniseries for so long now. I've heard nothing but stellar stuff about it.
(1989)
Was that any good, @Thunderfinger
Having recently bought the upgrade of 'Get Carter', theres a terrific interview with Director Mike Hodges, and its mentioned, and sounds interesting!
I saw it many years ago, and loved it back then. Haven t gotten around to seeing it again yet. Have so much other stuff to go through. Not just movies, but books, comics, and a regular life besides.
It s a thriller with an original angle. Great performances, and a neat twist.
BD449: The Courier (2020) € 5,00 (New)
BD450!: The King's Man (2021) € 7,99 (New)
So far 30 Bluray's this year. With those movies be my 449 and 450 Bluray in my collection.
I found this whilst browsing in a gaming store, its a nice edition. Not sure why I did not purchase this when it was originally released, I was probably holding out for the Bond50 Bluray set at the time.
The Martian (2015)
That is on my to buy list.
-Bizarrely enough, there is a continuity error in that the very first set, The Sean Connery Collection Volume 1, is the only one without “007” numbered on the spine, while all the others include it.
-REALLY small one, but there’s no way to order them perfectly chronologically, as Lazenby’s solo DVD has to come after Connery’s second volume, which starts with TB and ends with DAF.
-There were at least three different versions of “The Daniel Craig Collection,” one with just the first three films, then the first four, and finally the one with all 5 which is obviously what I went with. Though awesome, this set has a different colored spine than the others, and also lacks the names of the movies included on the spine or top like the other boxes have. Perhaps not enough space? The back cover is also different, and the discs for SP and NTTD are the only two of the 25 to not have the unified disc look. One more thing is that it is titled as “…5-Film Collection,” and is the only one of the sets to include the number of films. My guess is this way done to differentiate from the previous Craig sets.
-Not quite sure why MR was placed on Moore’s second volume instead of the first, which IMO would have made way more sense, as it: ends the 70s films, has the continuity with TSWLM with Jaws, and plus the latter 3 Moore films are all directed by John Glen.
Overall, this is the best way to own all the movies on DVD if you want it to look the best and most condensed possible on a shelf. I’m still very pleased overall as the boxes all have nice, modern-looking art and overall terrific unity. There was no point waiting for a complete box set at this point, especially since DVD-wise, I don’t even know if EON ever released a full collection in the States before. But yes, very happy to have these! Recommended!
Contains the seven movies, including the crossover with Devilman, and a few other surprises.
