This specific thing provides exceeded own prospect, that one has developed into a amazing buy for myself personally, The thought showed up properly along with swiftly Mad Max Trilogy [Blu-ray]


All Regions blu-ray release, playable on all worldwide blu-ray players.



A triple bill of the films that made Mel Gibson famous. 'Mad Max' follows the revenge spree of a former cop in the post-apocalyptic future after his wife and child are murdered by a gang of vicious motorbike thugs. The sequel, 'Mad Max 2', aka 'The Road Warrior', features loner Max helping a small oil-producing community defend itself against a band of crazed thugs. Finally, in the bigger budget 'Mad Max - Beyond Thunderdome', Max comes up against a barbaric society led by a warrior queen (Tina Turner).


Review :
A Phenomenal Series Given a Solid, if Unspectacular, Blu-Ray Treatment
Soon after George Miller's "Mad Max" and "The Road Warrior" burst onto the cinematic landscape in the early `80s, they ushered in a whole new genre of thrillers where warring gangs ruled the roads, fighting for gasoline and whatever scraps of food were left behind by scavengers. Many of those imitators have been (deservedly) forgotten as the years have passed, yet the MAD MAX TRILOGY itself remains a favorite of fans, with Miller's brilliantly edited set-pieces keeping viewers enthralled despite the familiar settings of a post-apocalyptic wasteland.

Warner Home Video's newly-released Blu-Ray box-set of the "Mad Max Trilogy" offers - in a single, three-disc Blu-Ray case (housed inside a slightly unattractive oversized tin) - a reprise of MGM's original "Mad Max" BD; a new AVC encode of "The Road Warrior," premiering here with a DTS MA soundtrack; and the HD debut of the third film in the series, "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome."

The original MAD MAX finds Mel Gibson...
Four Stars for the Films, Three Stars for the Blu-Ray Set
First thing's first: this US Blu-Ray set is 100% NOT Region Free.

MAD MAX is Region A locked, so do not buy this set if you don't own a multi-region or Region A compatible Blu-Ray player. MAD MAX 2/THE ROAD WARRIOR and MAD MAX: BEYOND THUNDERDOME however, are both Region Free!

Right, onto the films and the set itself.

MAD MAX: The first movie is fantastic: a jaw-dropping action film like no other, made at a time without CGI, when stunt men and women really put their lives in danger, for our entertainment.

The disc allows viewers to watch the film in the original Australian audio-track in a newly-created DTS HD Master Audio 6.1 soundtrack or dual-mono if you prefer, or the horrifically awful US English Dub, (in dual-mono only) in which many of the characters are dubbed into American English. Not only does it sound terrible as a soundtrack, it's a pretty ropey dub. Considering all the dubbers had to do was translate Australian English into...
Decent collection with a few new highlights
Since "Fury Road" (the fourth Mad Max film) is up for release next year, this three-disc collection serves up the first "trilogy" of Mad Max films from 1978-1985 to attract new fans. Two of the three movies ("Mad Max" and "The Road Warrior", aka "Mad Max 2") have been released on Blu-ray already, and the content of those two discs remains mostly the same. In fact, "Mad Max" is basically the same disc with new artwork, but "The Road Warrior" features slightly better video quality (due to a new encoding) and a terrific new lossless DTS-HD 5.1 Master Audio track. The bonus features on both discs are identical.

The third film, "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome", is new to Blu-ray and debuts as part of this collection. Sadly, the only extra is the film's trailer (older releases, including the DVD, were the same way), but at least the A/V quality is quite good. Other than that, this three-disc collection is packaged in a nice metal tin and looks cool.

If you already own...

Taking of Tiger Mountain [Blu-ray] SALE

Title : Taking of Tiger Mountain [Blu-ray]
Category: Movies
Brand: Imports
Item Page Download URL : Download Movie
Rating : 3.8
Buyer Review : 17









Review :
A Little Truth
Positive:
Good CGI, enough to make it a barely believable background and action scenes, but not great.
Loosely based (meaning embellished for entertainment purposes) on post WWII varying factions vying for power in China as Japanese occupiers were being driven out.
Neutral:
Interesting tie in with contemporary descendent revisiting and re-imagining that period.
Acting, dialogue, script, filming, all acceptable and pretty standard, straightforward, but nothing jumps out as being incredible. It almost felt as if it was a Communist Party sponsored politically correct promotional film.
Rather than being a serious historical docudrama it seemed more like a lighthearted fantasy story.
Negative:
If looking for historical accuracy, then other than someone infiltrating a gang to spy with some sort of positive outcome for his efforts, it came across as an imaginative fantasy which may be all that a viewer is interested in.
Misleading...
The Taking of Tiger Mountain was good
A good movie, and good acting. Chinese PLA heros vs post WWII Warlord Thugs.

Great Watch
Loved the overall perspective of the film. There were a few times I wondered how things would work out :) Really nice film, I enjoyed it and wasn't disappointed.

Description : Envy haulers moving picture This Rurouni Kenshin Trilogy [Blu-ray] works great, user friendly as well as change. The cost of this wa much lower as compered to other locations My spouse and i reviewed, rather than much more compared to equivalent product or service

This specific thing Offer surpass the prospect, that one has chaned into a fantastic buy for myself personally, The thought came safely along with rapidly Rurouni Kenshin Trilogy [Blu-ray]

Synopsis: This live action movie is based on popular Japanese manga series "Rurouni Kenshin", which is also called "Samurai X" in English title.


Review :
Great films, great release, English subtitled, though be aware there is no English dub if that's what you want
Fans of Kenshin rejoice. Despite Warner Brothers having the rights to the films, they have not (at least as of today) decided to release the film trilogy in the USA. Thankfully for us, we have Passion Entertainment/Encore Films licensing the films for release in Hong Kong (these are official, not bootlegs) and assigning them to Region A, with English subtitles.

For anyone looking for an English dub, I am sorry but there is NO option for English language dubbing. You will have to settle for English subtitles. If you need an English dub, I hope for your sake Warner Brothers finally gets up off their back sides and gives this trilogy a proper North American release.

You may also be concerned that they skimped on the authoring of the discs, and pushed bit rates low to cram each film on a single layer Blu Ray disc. You would be wrong - each disc is dual layer. Movie 1 is about 34 GB in size. Movie 2 is about 38 GB in size, and Movie 3 is about 38 GB in size...
Excellent picture and sound quality
Excellent picture and sound quality. The soundtrack is appropriate for a big screen movie. The cinematography and battle scenes are awesome. Lots of sword fights, beautifully done. The script is very well written, people who did not watch the anime can follow. I watch a lot of Kung Fu movies, I am sure this is exceptionally good. Disks 2 and 3 has trailers but not disk 1. The advertisement at the end of disk 1 looks out of place, disks 2 ad 3 do not have advertisements, instead, they added trailers. The set did not come with special brochures or inserts like some anime DVDs do. The box set is elegantly packaged.

I did not notice grammatical mistakes in the English subtitles. The subtitles are basic but sufficient, accurate and printed in a font that is easy on the eye. I watched each disk in Japanese with English subtitles and then again in Cantonese with English subtitles. I prefer Rurouni Kenshin in Japanese dialogue because Rurouni Kenshin is Japanese. It is interesting...
Exciting Big-Budget Samurai Trilogy Based on the Popular Anime/Japanese Comic Book (Manga) Series
This big-budget blockbuster film trilogy is based on a popular anime and manga series about an assassin, Rurouni Kenshin, at the time of the Meiji restoration in Japan. The swordplay and acting (especially by Taeru Satoh in the lead role) are fantastic. I recommend this film trilogy to anyone who enjoys Samurai action/drama films.

Description of the films included as part of this box set:

- The film "Rurouni Kenshin" stands alone as a story and begins at the end of the Bakumatsu War where Kenshin (marked by distinctive crossing scars on his left cheek) renounces killing, takes up life as a wanderer using a "reverse-bladed" sword (which cannot kill its opponent), and offers aid and protection to those in need in atonement for his past deeds. The story jumps forward ten years where Kenshin comes to the aid of a kendo instructor, Kaoru Kamiya, helps the authorities defeat a...
