gregs45s SUBS 1st Jan 2018		Blu-ray Valerian And The City Of A Thousand Planets - Lionsgate (2017)	Not a great plot but visually stunning.Based on a comic "Valerian and Laureline".Another visual feast from Luc Besson (The Fifth Element,Lucy).My only gripe is that there is so much gong on at any one time,so much detail in the graphics,that you find yourself missing action in the centre of the screen,whilst you are distracted by whats happening in the corners of the screen,or perhaps i'm just getting old;),a film for the young and quick of eye perhaps;) (will probably benefit with repeated viewings) I expect this would be fantastic if viewed on the large screen. A nice cameo from Rihanna also.
gregs45s SUBS 31st Dec 2017		Blu-ray Annabelle: Creation - Warner Bros. (2017)	For once,a film that lives up to the hype on the artwork,at least,it made me jump :) (I would advise removing any mannequins/dolls/gonks from the room before you watch this;)
gregs45s SUBS 24th Dec 2017		DVD Police Story - Lockdown (2013)	Despite Jackie's age (59,if my math is right;) at the time of filming,he's still got all the moves. Released in China at the end of 2013.
gregs45s SUBS 10th Dec 2017		DVD Preaching To The Perverted - First Look Home Entertainment (2003)	A pervert's dilemma;) I've not seen the film,so do i open it?,or leave it forever as it is,in it's plastic "gimp" slipcase and tight shrinkwrap? ;)
gregs45s SUBS 30th Nov 2017		Blu-ray Box Set Inception - Warner Home Video (2010)	With a nod to Quad5point1 added a scan of an alternative slipcase front with a Lenticular lens,which has,(typically) not scanned so well (it shows the buildings "folded-up" above the standing group). All else matches scans shown (exactly).
gregs45s SUBS 8th Nov 2017		DVD Legend Of The Guardians - The Owls Of Ga'hoole (2010)	Tonight's viewing,as,once again,there appears to be nothing owls on :)
gregs45s SUBS 21st Oct 2017		DVD Kraftwerk Minimum - Maximum (2005)	[YouTube Video]
gregs45s SUBS 26th Aug 2017		LaserDisc Star Wars - 20th Century Fox (1982)	My one, and possibly only, LaserDisc, found this in a box of LP’s (not surprising perhaps, as it’s the same size as an LP, and could easily get mistaken for one at a glance perhaps) .Haven’t come across this format since the early eighties,whilst working in Comet ,all I remember was that the machines were the size of suitcases,and bloomin’ heavy;).It’s basically like a big 12" CD, if nothing else, I now have a means of signalling passing aircraft should the need arise.)
gregs45s SUBS 13th Aug 2017		Blu-ray Ghost In The Shell [2017] - Paramount (2017)	Translates from the Manga 1995 original fairly well,and although the script may be somewhat lacking/plodding in places,the near-future city-scapes (reminiscent of Blade Runner,) and cyber-enhanced characters make up for it visually.
gregs45s SUBS 6th Aug 2017		DVD Tears Of The Black Tiger - Pathé (2002)	Any film with the review "Mad As A Bag Of Spiders" has got to be worth a go surely:) (tonight's viewing;)(addenda: not that brilliant,another case of over-hype;) 6/10
gregs45s SUBS 1st Aug 2017		DVD Box Set Bakuman - Complete Series (2013)	I would have thought it might be better to segregate it,so that it's searchable,i.e,search "Manga"?(as opposed to looking for Manga in "Animation",there's tons of this out there,and while i appreciate their is not much on the site at the moment,it will surely build up over time,so instead of having to "Tag" thousands of Manga entries,wouldn't it be easier to add it as a an option in the genres now? (just trying to think ahead ;)
gregs45s SUBS 31st Jul 2017		DVD Family Guy Presents Blue Harvest - 20th Century Fox (2007)	The inside was impossible to scan (needs a photo)(image 1412986 is incorrect,correction submitted).The front of the outer card slipcase (image 1412390) has silver metallic text/artwork and is embossed.(Why are the T-shirts always large?,small/medium people watch films too;). I've yet to see this,tonight's viewing (you see,don't i;)
gregs45s SUBS 31st Jul 2017		DVD Box Set Bakuman - Complete Series (2013)	Any chance of adding "Manga" to the genre options?
gregs45s SUBS 19th May 2017		Blu-ray Fury - Sony Pictures Home Entertainment (2015)	Mods,i typed in "War/Action/Drama" into the genres but they haven't come up,any reason?,or aren't we bothering with genres anymore,as other entries (DVD/VHS)seem to not have them either?
gregs45s SUBS 28th Apr 2017		DVD WALL·E - Buena Vista (2008)	I had a go at scanning the pull-out case (it opens once again,revealing the two Discs),but it was a bugger to scan,ideally,it needs a bigger scanner,so i'll let someone else do the honours.There is a bonus short animation,titled "BURN·E",who was the small droid (welding robot) who gets caught outside of the spaceship when EVE and WALL·E's ship enters the larger mothership and the hatch closes,it's quite funny:)
gregs45s SUBS 10th Apr 2017		Blu-ray Ghost In The Shell - Manga Entertainment Limited (2017)	Not quite as good as it's hyped-up to be on the front artwork IMHO (then,most aren't;),but good nonetheless,with fine attention to detail,so a casual fan of Manga/Anime might appreciate it also.Half-decent plot set amongst a near future cityscape,will be interested to see how well it translates to the "live action" version of the film.
gregs45s SUBS 1st Apr 2017		DVD R.E.M. - Perfect Square (2004)	Temp images only,still sealed,please feel free to replace any/all scans.
gregs45s SUBS 26th Mar 2017		Blu-ray Arrival - E One (2016)	A tad slow on first viewing perhaps,not a great deal of action,although it is one possible first encounter scenario i suppose,and may benefit from further viewings.Half-decent ambient soundtrack by Johanns Johannsson and Max Richter. [YouTube Video]
gregs45s SUBS 18th Mar 2017		DVD Logan's Run - Warner Home Video (2008)	I enjoyed watching this again,and,despite the special effects perhaps dating somewhat,it's still a "fun" film with a half-decent plot IMHO (unlike some modern Sci-Fi films perhaps;)
gregs45s SUBS 5th Mar 2017		DVD Natural Born Killers - Cinema Club (2003)	Couple more scans added.
gregs45s SUBS 4th Feb 2017		Blu-ray The Evil Dead Trilogy - Studiocanal (2013)	@henry 29.Agreed :),haven't got around to watching it yet,it's in the "to see/listen to/to read"pile;),will advise.
gregs45s SUBS 3rd Feb 2017		Blu-ray Pirahna 3D - Entertainment In Video (2010)	I notice there is also a Pirahna 3DD (the mind boggles;),i've only got a 2D player so i expect it will be less "Jawsome" :)
gregs45s SUBS 28th Jan 2017		DVD The Secret Policeman's Ball - Amnesty International / ILC (2002)	Outer case a bit tatty on this one,please feel free to replace any/all images.
gregs45s SUBS 18th Jan 2017		DVD Apollo 18 - Entertainment In Video (2011)	With a nod to henry29 for the original entry,cover scans added.
gregs45s SUBS 12th Jan 2017		Blu-ray Absolutely Fabulous - The Movie (2016)	I would have liked to have rated this higher as i enjoyed the TV series,but personally,i felt that they've tried to "cram too much in"the allotted time,as though they're trying too hard to impress somehow,whereas,keeping it simple,and just enjoying more of the interplay between the characters,i.e,like in the TV series,might have been the way to go?.
gregs45s SUBS 31st Dec 2016		DVD Kylie Minogue: Kyliefever2002 (In Concert - Live In Manchester) (2002)	Outer slipcover has,in fact, a pink/gold metallic finish,needs a photo,please feel free to replace any/all images.
gregs45s SUBS 10th Dec 2016		DVD Slipknot - Disasterpieces (2002)	The back of my copy is well tatty,hopefully someone else will oblige.
gregs45s SUBS 9th Dec 2016		DVD Anchorman: The Legend Of Ron Burgundy - DreamWorks (2004)	With a nod to henry29,cover scans added.
gregs45s SUBS 3rd Dec 2016		VHS Box Set Queen: Box Of Flix - Picture Music International (1991)	Gold metallic lettering on red,not ideal to scan (images lightened),a photo would be better,perhaps someone will oblige later on down the line.
gregs45s SUBS 2nd Dec 2016		DVD The Last Exorcism - Optimum Home Entertainment (2010)	Another DVD that i've come across where the artwork/scene on the front (and in this case on the Disc as well),doesn't actually appear in the film (i.e she does not climb the walls;),she does very little in fact,blatant false advertising IMHO :( (awful film)
