Kirk’s Movie Blogspot 16th April
OK, so here we go with the second half of my top ten wishlist of films yet to be released on Blu Ray. I didn’t realise how difficult this was giong to be, when you look at the Blu Ray catalogue, it’s actually pretty good already! Since the death of the HD war studios have [...]
Learn more...Beware the BD
I saw something today that made me think that all this hoo haa surrounding High Definition is a bit of a con. I walked into a store with a friend of mine who was looking for a surround sound kit and there right in front of the entrance was a TV playing ones of those [...]

Check before you buy!
Back in January this year I needed a new DVD player as my old one was on its way out. A friend of mine recommended Denon as a good make and so I read a few reviews and decided on the Denon 1940. The 2 questions were what colour I wanted? and [...]
Gore Verbinski to Direct Bioshock the Movie.

Oops, Friday the 13th again! Two months running, that must be a rare occurance. Having already written of my dislike of the horror genre (that was the Friday the 13th link) I think this time I’ll write about a genre that I like, and that would be sci-fi. Yes, I am a self confessed sci-fi [...]
Learn more...Limited Editions and Funky Box Sets
I just received my Blade Runner Region 1 Five Disc Ultimate Collectors Edition. Phew that was a mouthful. I already have the Region 2 Blade Runner set of the same elongated name. But why do I want 2 sets? Well the packaging on the R1 urinates all over the R2 packaging, even though the R2 [...]
