Blu Ray Recommendations

Been reading that Play.com are releasing some more play exclusive steel books, mission impossible 1,2,3 are being released as steel books separately.

Lawrence Of Arabia (50th anniversary edition):

David Leans epic classic really comes to life in exquiste detail on this great two disc package, the desert sands and Omar Sharif's arrival have never looked better in glorious hd. Sound quality is top notch giving an extra dimension to Maurice Jarre's wonderful score. Decent extras include a nice reminiscent updated interview with the great Peter O' Toole. All in all this is a fantastic set, which certainly does justice to this all time classic. A must own disc. 10/10

Would you believe i've never ever seen this film before lol.

I highly recommend Con Air the U.K Steel Book, the outside design of the steel book is really nice along with the back of the steel book how ever i was a little disappointed that the inside of the was bland and had no art work but never less a nice looking steel book. Now the picture quality is a full 1080p no a sign of grain on the picture, every thing is always looking crisp and detail and it really shines on blu ray. Sound quality again really good crystal clear and you hear every sound and stuff going on in the background. As for extras theres a only a couple. If your a fan of the film or a steel book collector then its worth having it in your collection only £10.99 and its a play.com exclusive.

One of my fav films, will be ordering it next week.

Its just a shame they didn't put any art work in the inside of the steel book otherwise it looks really nice and for the price its bloody worth it plus am a big fan of the film too. What i like what with what play.com do with steel book packaging is in a cardboard box but the inside is covered in thick foam protecting the steel book while its in transit wish a lot of online sites would do this with there steel book and sometimes they can turn up with a little dents so far i've been lucky.

13 Assassins:

This fantastic (subtitled) samurai action/revenge movie directed by Takashi Miike, really looks the part with great quality picture and good sound, even if you are not a fan of this genre, this movie is worth owning just for the final epic battle showdown. Extras are sparse you only get an directors interview, deleted scenes and a tralier, but this should'nt put anyone off from purchasing this this brilliant Japanese action movie. 9/10

I highly recommend Indiana Jones: The Complete Adventures - Limited Collector's Edition on blu ray review coming up as soon as i can .

prometheus. you get a lot for your money, the film itself, which is one of the films of 2012, tons of extras and a digital copy

I highly recommend Die Hard With A Vengeance on blu ray now this play.com steel book exclusive. The design of the steel book is really striking and really stands out from most steel book if there was one negative thing is that inside of steel book is blank with no art work which is a shame. Now the picture quality is crisp and clear and a hell of a improvement over the dvd version there small grain in parts of the film but for the most part a great 1080p transfer, the sound as well is great when you have it hooked up to 5.1/DTS cinema system and believe you me you hear everything wend down to back ground chatter or noises. Theres a good handful of extras which is great, even better with the blu ray release is for the first time in the U.K its uncut tons swearing and i mean loads of it was either cut or dubbed and violence was cut down too with this blu ray its totally uncut and feels complete. You can get this as a steel book or the normal edition and on the Die Hard blu ray box set its uncut on there too. Highly recommend this version on blu ray alone if your a big Die Hard fan like me .
