blu ray weekend

08/20/2012 by alaundre

the last 2, one was on sale and the other i had a $10 gift certificate…the others are ones that i have not seen in theatres nor have a dvd copy of ( i did see The Raid on limited release ) . I liked this one better than West’s previous movie The House of The Devil (although I prefer how House ends than Innkeepers). the trailer makes it much scarier than it is . Late to the party on […]

Sha Po Lang (aka SPL) renamed Killzone here in the US, and Dragon Tiger Gate (don’t know if a US distributor will release a R1 dvd, i have the Hong Kong dvd […]
