Just announced today...

12 Angry Men

Three Colors Trilogy

The Rules Of The Game

Fanny & Alexander

[Todd Jordan Smut is good. Find all posts View Profile Close Todd Jordan]

12 Angry Men is a good movie. Haven't seen it in a long time, but I remember it had a pretty good impact. And I;m talking the 1950s B+W movie, not the gay bondage porn.

Fanny & Alexander is excellent too. Though most Bergman stuff is.

Coming in December... some good ones!

Design For Living
The Lady Vanishes

And....

Tokyo Drifter & Branded To Kill (FINALLY!)

Won't be buying any of these because a) I already have most of these on DVD and b) I don't have a blu ray player but I just have to say that these covers are awesome! Very creative stuff.

Um, holy shit, I want that Island of Lost Souls Blu-ray like yesterday. Review here.

Buy "my life as a dog" Ian. Best swedish film ever made. I might even buy it myself, as the swedish DVD is pretty crappy. Is the BD region free or will criterion assfuck me out of this simple request?

[Ian Jane Administrator Find all posts View Profile Close Ian Jane]

I have no idea but if it's region locked, blame the rights holder, not the releasing company, as it's almost always done out of contractual obligation.

I thought you were the expert. I demand you find out for me. You have 24 hours and counting to do so.

[Ian Jane Administrator Find all posts View Profile Close Ian Jane]

Blu-ray.com says it's region locked to A.
