Alright then, just Burn After Reading. I know I'll like that as I love the Coen brothers. I just thought that Rocknrolla and Tropic Thunder got lots of thumbs up from people. Obviously I'll be giving them a miss now. But I'll still get QoS to go with Casino Royale.

I'm a Cyborg But That's Okay (Dvd) - £6.97

Great film from the 'Oldboy' director Park Chan-Wook. Just had to post it at that price as it's usually over £15 and hard to get in some places.

Kill Bill: Redux May Be Coming To Dvd Soon

Not all hope is lost my friends. After Quentin Tarantino revealed his top 20 favorites both in the Spaghetti Western and in the grindhouse genre (”That grindhouse list made me start coming up with mine! But it’s a good list…there’s a lot of films that … are on here.” he said), I started asking some long nagging questions. I felt as the ambassador of the fan community, I should ask what is going on with that long-overdue “integral” edition of Kill Bill, be it theatrically or on DVD. Let me take that back, actually I asked where that Kill Bill script on paperback was and Quentin assured me that it will come out in a longer version, he’s just been putting the whole movie aside for a while. As you might know, the integral version of Kill Bill that was shown once in Cannes, is no longer what you’ll eventually see, at least not completely.

We’ve actually added some things to it. We did a whole little chapter that I wrote and designed for the animated sequence, that we never did, because we figured, back when it was gonna be one big movie, it was going to be too long, so we didn’t do it. So when we were talking about re-releasing it, they asked is there anything you can put in, and I said no I put everything in there, but… there’s one sequence that we wouldn’t even have to shoot! So we got together with Production IG and did it, and it’s really cool. So it’s this little seven minute sequence, it’s really cool, it’s in the O-Ren chapter.” - Quentin Tarantino

The version in Cannes was the way it will be, recut to be one movie, with an intermission, as supposed to two seperate ones with the cliffhanger and the tags. “It’s more like a big 60s movie with the intermission. Oh, you’ll just have to see it!” he laughs. Of course DVD release plans and all that stuff on the business end is potentially outside the influence of a director, but knowing that it’s on the way is definitely better than speculating. The Quentin Tarantino Archives will keep you posted on the development. We’ve seen conceptual artwork of the DVD case a year ago at the ComiCon, we know what Quentin has to say about it, so with some more patience we’ll have this WHOLE BLOODY AFFAIR in our hands at some point. Stay tuned for more

Got My Name Is Bruce preordered from playusa.com on bluray as the US edition is out Feb 10th - just hoping it's region free. Keeping an eye on movietyme to check so I can cancel the order if it's not.

Don't know whether to get the normal DVD edition instead if it's not region free (got a multi region player) then pick up the UK edition in March on bluray.

I wouldn't normally go to such extremes to see a film a little bit early but I'm a massive Campbell/Evil Dead fan and have been waiting for this film to come out for years now.

Did hear a rumour it might get a limited cinema release in the UK in Feb though so might be worth keeping an eye open for showings..

EDIT: There's a UK official site now - confirms cinema showings. There's some in London/Edinbrugh hosted by the man himself too, gutted can't make it to one of those!

Basically a group of kids unleash a Chinese war spirit on a small town and their solution is to kidnap their hero Bruce Campbell from the Evil Dead films to help them destroy it. Thing is Campbell thinks it's all a set up until he realises it really isn't and finally must help the community defeat the monster.

I've been wanting to see this for a long time, a full length Bruce Campbell film directed by the man himself, it should be quality (well for fans of Bruce anyway).

Good stuff, they're so fantastically watchable.

The only other thing I was interested in was whether or not The Belleville Rendezous would be coming to Blu-Ray or not?

Good film :)

Unfortunately there's no plan to bring it to Blu-Ray at the moment even though they did a HD-DVD version already. Hopefully they'll make some announcement this year.
