Gran Torino French SteelBook
Posted by admin in Blu-ray, SteelBooks on July 3rd, 2009

Finally got the French SteelBook of Gran Torino, the Special FNAC Edition at that! It comes with a 48-page booklet full of production notes etc.
The movie itself comes framed in a 1080p 2.40:1 image and an English Dolby TrueHD 5.1 track. I bet it’ll look grand. Will give it a look when I can, I remember liking this movie.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon [UK SteelBook] / Casino SteelBook?
Posted by admin in Blu-ray, SteelBooks on June 11th, 2009
Just wanted to inform you of a soon-to-be-released SteelBook on July 6th of the movie Wo Hu Cang Long, commonly known as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. I’ve never seen this movie, but its 234th position on IMDb’s Top 250 Movies of all time list does make me want to get it. And for £13.99, what’s there to lose?
You can pre-order it now on Play.com.
EDIT: It seems that it will be a Play.com Exclusive after all.

Also wanted to point out this oddity I’ve stumbled upon:

If anyone has any idea what it is or where it comes from, then please let me know! ^^
