I've heard very mixed things about it Roy but I'm still very optimistic. Fingers crossed both of us enjoy it. Thank you for stopping by. Merry Christmas to you
Lovely pick ups Keith. You've really proven Amazon Italy is the place to go for steelbooks. I'll have a look after Christmas and see what I can pick up. Planning some time off work in Jan so planning a lot of viewings. Love the Kong and Bad Boys steelbooks and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.Keaton is great as he always is but film is average at best. Saw Trapped in the cinema and it's fine. Not a classic but an entertaining watch . I hope you enjoy them all when you get round to it. I'm just about to watch Scrooged. You and Andy have really gotten the Christmas vibe going with me. Thanks for posting.
Hey Alan. I only just watched scrooged myself a couple of nights ago. The ending of it chokes me up every single time. Bill Murray's acting is top notch and to be honest I'm looking forward to watching it again over the holidays. It's one of those movies that never gets boring. A huge thank you once again Alan for taking the time to stop by and share your thoughts on some of my pickups. It's always appreciated. Merry Christmas to you. Keep those Christmas vibes going. No better time of year
Thanks for doing the video, Keith. The Fall Guy and Trap were a bit disappointed for me, but both are entertaining. Looking forward to seeing if you like them. Take care, buddy.
Like I said in the videos Saul I'm not expecting a whole lot from some of the movies that I got here but if I get a fraction of entertainment I will take that all day long. Thank you as always my friend for stopping by
I'm sure I'm going to enjoy it. I don't think it's going to be anywhere near as good as the original but I am hoping for a solid sequel. I will know soon enough
Yeah you are absolutely spot on I should have waited for the local release. Thankfully I was able to return it without any issues. Such a shame in the end. Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by and check it out. I really appreciate the kind words as well. All the best to you
Hi Keith, great video as always. You got some great titles. I'll let you have my thoughts on some of these films tomorrow night. I'll be doing another night shift which will give me some time to comment on your purchases.
It goes without saying Ash but I always appreciate any input you have and I look forward to reading it. Thank you again for taking the time to stop by and check out the video. Merry Christmas to you
Great vid lad, enjoy your new haul. Godzilla X is great entertainment and tech specs are off the charts. Looking forward to Far and Away and Legends of the Fall, coming in a few days. Merry Christmas Keith and a grand New Year 🇺🇸✌️🇮🇪
Hey Michael. I completely forgot that far and away and legends of the Fall are coming out. I will definitely look into both of them myself. Really hope you enjoyed them when you get them. Thank you for all the support my friend and a Merry Christmas to you. Look after yourself
Haven't seen any of them Keith, although I do intend getting a copy of Beetlejuice 2 at some point. I used to be a big fan of the Gran Turismo games but haven't seen the film. At least that steelbook for Trap is red and black mate, but, like you said, there's not a lot to it. Glad you got the Arrow edition of The Great Escape, it's a superb set. Best wishes to you both. Gaz.
I know I love my red and black Steelbooks but even I have to admit this one is quite poor. Not sure what I was thinking when I purchased it. As for the great escape yeah I couldn't be happier. I'm not expecting the transfer to look any better than the Capelight edition that I have. But I will have to wait and see. Thank you as always Gary for stopping by
Yeah I have to admit I am very pleased with most of my purchases. Let's just hope the movies are as good. A huge thank you as always John for stopping by. Merry Christmas to you and the family
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is brilliant, we say it at the cinema. Have that same GITD Steelbook. The slipcover and the plastic inner frame both glow well. Godzilla X Kong is also brilliant
I will definitely look into the glow in the dark Steelbook. I've heard it's supposed to be quite good. As for the movie it goes without saying but really looking forward to checking it out. Great to hear that you enjoyed it. Thank you for stopping by and sharing your thoughts.
It has the same feel as the original, the whole family is there, apart from Dad (for obvious reasons) and Jenna Ortega does a great job. Wait till you see the Soul Train
Jenny Ortega was a very obvious choice for this movie. She looks like your typical Tim Burton girl. I heard she's very good in it. Fingers crossed I enjoy it
Hi I bought the 4k edition of Love Actually last year from Universal in the USA. The picture quality is not the greatest, sound quality was in dolby atmos, really good. I love your reviews and your opinion is spot on. Keep up the good work and a Very Merry Christmas to you and your family. Kind regards Nick
That version of Love, Actually quietly had a replacement program. The disc wasn't simply disappointing. Something went very wrong. It clearly looked worse than the 1080p blu-ray and maybe some scenes looked more like DVD quality. I got a replacement sent to me sometime well after Christmas and I never checked it out, but I've heard it is quite a bit better.
@trent82 it's funny you said that because I have this weird memory of somebody telling me there was a disc replacement program for Love Actually. I will definitely look into that.
Hey Nick. Thank you so much for letting me know about the transfer of Love Actually. As you can see by the other comments apparently there is a replacement program and fingers crossed it looks a hell of a lot better. Very surprised to hear that it came with Dolby Atmos and for that reason alone I would probably pick it up. The one I have only has 5.1. So a huge thanks again Nick and A Merry Christmas to you and the family
Great video Keith some nice pick ups and not so nice in my humble opinion. I thought trap was a 90 minute promo for the directors daughters singing career. Look forward to your great escape review as interested in picture quality lastly merry Xmas to you and your family
I had absolutely no idea that is his daughter. I have to admit that has slightly put me off it. I'm not expecting too much but I'm hoping for elements of enjoyment. I'm sure Josh Hartnett alone will give me that. Thank you as always Kevin for taking the time to stop by. Merry Christmas to you and the family. Look after yourself
I'm not expecting too much from it Chris. I'm still a little bit fatigued but I'm hoping the visuals will carry me through. Thank you for checking it out my friend
Every December I do a top 10 list for friends of what I’ve considered to be the best movies of the year. For 2024 The Fall Guy features at no.8 and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice at no.3. Bad Boys also gets an honorable mention. I didn’t think the Banana Boat (Day-O) lip sync scene could ever be topped from Beetlejuice, but for me the wedding scene in the sequel absolutely takes it! Enjoy Keith, great content as ever.
Hey Scott. Great to hear that two of my movies have made your top 10. Almost three. Like I said in the video I heard mixed things when it comes to Beetlejuice Beetlejuice but something's telling me I'm going to enjoy it regardless of what I hear. I'm not expecting it to be as good as the original but I am hoping for a solid sequel. I will know very soon. But thank you so much Scott for taking the time to stop by and share your thoughts. I really do appreciate it
Yeah it's going to be very interesting to see what happens with Amazon Ireland. I really hope it doesn't come with Irish prices. The thought of getting same day delivery is very intriguing. We will have to wait and see. Roll on 2025
I'm very hopeful when it comes to Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. I was never expecting it to be anywhere near as good as the original but I am hoping for a solid sequel. I should know soon enough. Thanks for the heads up
Hi Keith, nice pickups, I have BeetleJuice BeetleJuice just a basic 4K Release i am looking fwd 2 watching it, Bad Boys Ride or Die is Amazing I’ll luv it at the cinema & watching it again on the that 4k steelbook, u & Ellen will luv & enjoy it will be a great nights entertainment it’s Really Funny with Will Smith & Martin Lawrence great chemistry & humour from them + Non Stop Action Scenes
I honestly cannot wait to sit down and check out Bad Boys ride or die. I knew it was going to be good Matthew it was just a question of how good it is. I honestly cannot wait to sit down and check it out especially after reading this comment. I always trust your opinion my friend. So a huge thank you for taking the time to stop by and share it with me. It's always appreciated
Nice video Keith, I had The Sixth Sense and Signs drop from Amazon Italy this week. With regard to Gran Turismo, I have that steelbook and (as I’m a long term fan of the games) I picked it up at launch. I was fearing the worst, but I actually really enjoyed the film and the Atmos soundtrack is amazing.
I have the Sixth Sense and Signs Steelbooks coming hopefully tomorrow. I have to admit I was very surprised by how beautiful that Steelbook of the Sixth Sense looks. When I first seen it I wasn't all that impressed. It's only when I seen the pictures on Instagram that I realised how fantastic it actually is. Thank you by the way for the heads up on Gran Turismo. Fingers crossed I get something out of it myself. A huge thank you my friend for taking the time to stop by. It's always appreciated
@ yes the Sixth Sense steelbook is lovely, to be fair the Signs one is pretty good too. I’m sure you will like GT, it’s a good action film and David Harbour is good in it. Speaking of which, I also watch a lot of Christmas films through December and Monday’s film this week was Violent Night. I really enjoyed that one. Enjoy the season Keith and all the films that go with it.
@CASFAN I've only seen violent night once and I love it. I'm definitely up for a second viewing sometime over the holidays. Great to hear that you enjoyed it yourself. But thank you again my friend. Hope you enjoy the festive movies. We're having a blast at the moment
Great pickups! I got the US Universal Love Actually, and thought it looked fine (also one of my all-time favourite Christmas films). I LOVED The Fall Guy (and not just because it was shot in my home city). Trap... I didn't like, but it had its moments.
Hey Paul. From what I've been hearing universal done a disc replacement program for Love Actually and apparently it's supposed to look fantastic. I'm presuming that's the one that you got in the end. I will definitely try and Hunt it down myself. Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by and share your thoughts. It's always appreciated
That Gran Turismo steelbook is on of my all time favorites. The Dolby Atmos is a 10 out of 10 in my opinion, way better than the steaming file. It’s based on a true story when Sony wanted to prove how superior their game software was to teach and produce a Formula one driver. Unbelievable story. Great cast. This one fell under the radar for some reason. I suggest after watching google the true life event this was based on. Fascinating story, fantastic Steelbook.
I had absolutely no idea this was based on a true story. That is absolutely insane. It goes without saying Chadwick but I am looking forward to checking it out. I heard the 4K disc is reference quality so that alone is going to help with my enjoyment. Hopefully I will see for myself very soon. A huge thank you once again my friend for taking the time to stop by and for giving me a heads up on that movie. It's always appreciated
I enjoyed this video thanks. I really liked bad boys film and gran turismo and specially with your surrounding sound. I wanted your steelbook version of Kong /zilla but could only get the red one .
Hey Dom. Yeah I heard Gran Turismo is a reference quality disc and I'm sure that's going to help with my enjoyment of the movie. Really looking forward to checking it out. Thank you as always for taking the time to stop by and check out my video. Merry Christmas to you
I haven't seen The Fall Guy, Keith, I have it to watch and I heard Lee Majors has a cameo in it. Trap is a one time watch and is left open for a sequel. Godzilla vs Kong is exactly what you said, it's a popcorn movie, the steel book does look really nice though. If you want to see a great Godzilla movie, check out Godzilla Minus One, its brilliant Keith. Beetle Juice was Ok, it did take me two attempts to watch it. I am not a Will Smith fan but Bad Boys Ride Or Die was pretty good I have to admit, and it's another stunning steel book. Some nice pick ups Keith, January is going to be a busy month for you.
Like I said in the video Gary when it comes to trap. I'm either going to love it or hate it. I am somewhat concerned after reading your comment. But I will have to wait and see. I am definitely going to pick up Godzilla minus 1. Ideally I would like to get it on the cheap. So it's going to be another while. As for Bad Boys ride or Die that is a movie I really am looking forward to. Why I haven't gotten around to it already I will never understand. But it is going to be a crazy month and to be honest I'm looking forward to it. I still have more to come. A huge thanks as always my friend for taking the time to stop by and share your thoughts on these movies. It goes without saying but I really appreciate it
I've bought several studio canal haven't had the subtitle issue in the states also heard universal also has a 4k issue with love actually that's why I got the blu-ray fall guy reminds me of Hooper with Burt Reynolds Happy Christmas 🎄 too all looking forward to watching next year 🎉
Yeah apparently universal did a disc replacement program for Love Actually because apparently it looked terrible. Supposedly the replacement looks a hell of a lot better. I will definitely look into it. A huge thank you for taking the time to stop by and share your thoughts. Really appreciate the kind words as well. Merry Christmas to you my friend.
Good review keith. Where did you pick up the beetle juice with the glow in the dark cover. I finally got myself the die hard Nakatomi set which I first saw on your channel last Christmas. Had to get it at some stage. Happy Christmas to you both and look forward to more great reviews in 2025. 👍🇮🇪
Hey Darren. My Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Steelbook I picked up from Amazon Italy. I'm almost certain it's still available as well. As for the nakatomi set I am so happy to hear that you picked it up. It's such a lovely release. Merry Christmas to you Darren and a Happy New Year. Please pass on my best to the family as well
I have the Steelbooks of Godzilla x Kong and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice too. And I finally got my Alien Romulus, Terminator und Godzilla Minus One Steelbooks this week. And the stunning Mediabook of Robocop from Capelight.
I completely forgot about the RoboCop release. I will definitely try and Hunt one down for myself. Hopefully the Steelbook. But I'm so happy to hear that you got your Alien Romulus and Terminator release. What a double bill that is going to be for you.
@@millerman9991 Yeah, oh, and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is one of my greatest suprises this year. I enjoyed it really. Happy Holidays to you and your family!
It's probably my favourite release out of everything I showed in this video. Really looking forward to the movie. A huge thanks again my friend. All the best to you
Yeah I have to admit Sean I'm really looking forward to checking it out. I thought the trailers looked promising and like I said in the video I am a big fan of both actors so fingers crossed I enjoy it
On the ub820 you can basically shrink the subtitles to be invisible ( not sure about the sony ) my French dog soldiers had forced subtitles and it fixed the issue. I had a hard time trying to return my last steel from Amazon italy, they asked for government id !! ) we don't have that in UK) The fall guy is a great watch mate , I got the blu ray that was wrongly packaged with the 4k extended edition included 😉. Trap, that was OK at cinema and not wanting to see it again. Gran turismo is good , and the atmos is worth the price of admission by itself . I have the same steelbook. Godzilla is bang average mate .
Hey Ian. I've already left back Love Actually. Had absolutely no issues returning it either. I'm not sure why they asked for ID off you. That is very strange to say the least. As for the subtitles yeah there was nothing I can do. My player doesn't have that option. To be honest it's something that I shouldn't have to concern myself about. Why did they not include a simple function to knock it off I will never fully understand. A huge thank you as always Ian for taking the time to stop by and share your thoughts on some of these movies. It's always appreciated my friend
@millerman9991 yes I had no idea what they were on about regarding * government id" very strange indeed. ( maybe untrained staff , who knows) BTW, we watched both signs and the sixth sense and both are absolutely gorgeous in 4k. Shame we didn't get dolby vision/ atmos but I can highly recommend the transfers.
That is great to hear Ian when it comes to both of those movies. I've heard great things myself about them. I'm not too concerned when it comes to Dolby Atmos particularly with sixth sense because it doesn't particularly lend well to Atmos. I'm sure I'm going to have a great time checking both out
Hi Keith brilliant video as usual. As a critic i can tell u that Trap is not a good movie.. But u will have a good time with Gran Turrismo.. enjoy mate
Hey Kyle. To be honest I am not one bit surprised to hear you say that about trap. Like I said in the video there is no middle ground when it comes to M Night and chances are I'll probably hate it. I'm hoping for the best. I'm a big fan of Josh Hartnett so he might help with my enjoyment. Thank you for the heads up my friend
Nice pickups Keith, I'm interested to see The Fall Guy, Trap, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice and Bad Boys. I've only seen Gran Turismo and I thought it was only ok, visuals and audio are great the story is a bit slow and not that interesting to be honest. David Harbour is probably the best thing in the movie. I feel the same fatigue that you do regarding Godzilla and Kong. That being said, just got my Godzilla Minus One in the post and I'm quite sure it will be a whole different watch. Also got A Quiet Place: Day One, Taxi Driver, Twisters, GB: The Frozen Empire and The Terminator all on steelbook. The only thing left is to wait for the holidays. Merry Christmas Keith and Ellen. 🎄
Hey Sebastian. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts on Gran Turismo. At least you got some entertainment from it and I'm hoping the same will happen with myself. By the way you got yourself some absolutely fantastic pickups. Now that you put it in my head I really need to pick up A Quiet Place Day 1. You are definitely covered for the holidays my friend. I really do hope you enjoyed them. Thanks again for all the support Sebastian and a Merry Christmas to you and the family. Look after yourself
Gran Tourismo is very entertaining. Me and my son had a great time watching it. The FallGuy is great fun, shame it failed at the boxoffice. Godzilla x Kong also good - it is what you expect, and that's not a bad thing at all. I can't speak for the others.
Hey Jamie. It goes without saying but I am really looking forward to checking out every single release that I have here. My expectations are a bit low on a few of them but that's only going to help me. Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by and share your thoughts.
Some nice pick-ups, have seen only a few of them...i enjoyed The Fall Guy,Trap is grand,definitely worth a watch,have standard edition of Gran Turismo 4k,haven't watched yet but have heard good things,Beetlejuice Beetlejuice was okay but nowhere near as good as the original, have the white steelbook of Godzilla X Kong,another i need to watch...like yourself I've lots to catch up on bud 😅
I am not kidding Marty by the time I'm done with all of these pickups I will probably be covered for the first 3 months of the year. It's crazy what I have missed out on. But to get them at the prices that I'm getting them at was definitely worth the wait. A huge thank you once again my friend for taking the time to stop by and share your thoughts on some of these movies. I can't stress to you how much Ellen loves the little statue you sent. It means so much.
@millerman9991 I so happy that she likes it Keith....Amazon Italy do some amazing value compared to Amazon UK,especially with steelbooks...I'll look forward to seeing your reviews bud 😀
@MadMartysMovieReviews-gv6hk yeah I have to agree with you Marty when it comes to Amazon Italy. The amount of money I have saved because of them is amazing. Going to buy a few more very soon. Thanks again Marty
I got the same love actually 4k from France a while ago. If you have a Panasonic ub9000 you can move the subtitles so they aren't on screen so there is a work around to this inconvenience. I thought the picture whilst not reference was an improvement over the bluray. I read that the American 4k universal release was inferior to the French studio canal release. I have kept the previous uk bluray as well because it has the UK soundtrack whereas the French 4k has the American soundtrack.
That's a great function to have when it comes to the Panasonic player. Having said that things like this shouldn't happen. Why they do not include a simple function to knock off subtitles I will never fully wrap my head around. As for the 4K picture I'm not going to lie I was very underwhelmed by it. Apparently the Universal release looks fantastic and also comes with Dolby Atmos. So I think I'll be definitely picking that one up. I probably should have done it in the first place.
Out of all those that you have shown keith the only ones I haven't seen is love actually and gran turismo I'll eventually get round to buying gran turismo which I was a fan of the games...if you like it check out Ferrari which is a good film...now for the rest of the films the only one I was disappointed with was trap! the rest of them are just fun popcorn movies just go into them with a open mind keith!🙂
To be honest Stephen I am not one bit surprised to hear that trap was your most disappointing movie. Like I said in the video I've heard so many bad things about it. Such a shame because the trailer looks fantastic. But I will have to see for myself and fingers crossed I might get something from it. A huge thank you as always my friend for taking the time to stop by and share your thoughts. Merry Christmas to you
You know what Aaron sometimes OK will do me. Once I get some sort of entertainment from it that will keep me happy. Thank you as always for stopping by my friend
My 4k favorites 🔥🔥🔥🔥FURIOSA 🔥🔥🔥🔥 DUNE 2 PITCH BLACK 🕶️ a longer version with more dialogues. ALIEN 40TH ANNIVERSARY. ALIEN ROMULUS ALIENS MAD LAX FURY ROAD THE BOY AND THE HERON THE NORTMAN
Hi Keith, yeah, I got the french 4K of Love Actually as well and I just hate this version. The forced subtitles are not acceptable! In France, this happens quite often. Unfortunately, they also did the same with the 4K steelbook of Bridget Jones. As an added "bonus" the picture quality is really not worthy of 4K, as you mentioned. I compared it to my old Universal blu ray and the blu "actually" looked better. It's sharper and has better coulours. Maybe I'll get the US 4K. It does come with Dolby Atmos, the picture quality, however, of the US 4K isn't great as well. The Fall Guy may not be the best movie ever made, but it's still a very entertaining popcorn action comedy. There's quite a lot to enjoy and the 4K transfer really shines and the Atmos will give your home cinema a nice workout. Just make sure to watch the extended cut. When I first heard about Gran Turismo I immediately thought oh f... not another stupid film based on a game (Speedracer, yuck!) but thankfully that's not what this film is about. It's actually based on a true story about some of the best Gran Turismo gamers who were given a chance to show how they would fare in a real car race. Once again, not Oscar worthy but also very entertaining. Some of the racing scenes are pretty amazing and it's just another great 4K. So, if you don't get your hopes up too high you might enjoy this film. I do agree with you, though, I also miss the Neill Blomkamp who gave us District 9 and Elysium. Godzilla x Kong is the worst film of this particular monsterverse. But if you lower your expectations, you still have a nice monster mash on a reference 4K. Turn up the volume and get blown away by the audiovisual onslaught. Sometimes, that's all you need. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is kind of a mixed bag. I did enjoy parts of it. It was great to have most of the original actors back and every now and then you get this Beetlejuice vibe. Ortega was an adequate addition to the cast and she worked for me as Ryder's daughter. It's just that it wasn't a very coherent movie. There is a (not really a spoiler) veeery long wedding sequence which was simply overdone as a musical number and not really funny. I still enjoyed the film and as a sequel it didn't take anything away from the great and superior original movie. I'll definitely give it a second chance on 4K. I watched this film in a movie theater and it just wasn't what I was hoping for. Maybe sometimes it's better to just leave the classics alone, but as I said, there's still something to like about the sequel. Just give it a try. I also have this beautiful Bad Boys Ride or Die 4k steelbook. If you like Bad Boys for Life you surely won't be disappointed by this 4th part. It's loads of fun and the Smith/Lawrence chemistry still works fine. The action is up to Bad Boys standards and this being a Sony title, the 4K quality is amazing, too. Do you know the film Body Parts? It's another great early 90s horror/action thriller directed by Eric Red and starring Jeff Fahey and Brad Dourif. Unfortunately, it wasn't a big success when it was originally released, but I really like the plot and you get one of the most "exciting" car crashes ever put on film. It will be released by Kino Lorber on January 24. I would even recommend this film as a blind buy, if you don't know it. I wish you a nice weekend, mate.
Hey Ash. Wow now that is a comment. First off yeah I was very disappointed with the release of Love Actually. I wasn't aware of these French releases and how they always have forced subtitles. Definitely a lesson learnt. Just a heads up though when it comes to the universal release. Apparently they did a disc replacement program because the 4K transfer looked terrible. But with the replacement apparently everything looks great. So make sure you do get that release. As for the rest of the movies that I featured in this video I'm looking forward to them all. Bad boys in particular I honestly cannot wait to check out. Why I haven't checked it out already I will never understand. If it's more of the same then happy Days. I did hear of that movie body parts but I don't think I got around to checking it out. Another part of me thinks I might have. It could be one of those movies that when I watch it will start to feel a bit familiar. I didn't realise Kino Lorber were bringing out a release of it. I actually might look into it. A huge thank you once again Ash for taking the time and effort to put all of this down. I don't think you fully comprehend how much I appreciate it. All the best my friend and a Merry Christmas to you
Hi Keith I've got gran turismo a few weeks back cheap from zavie I have never watched it but did some research and it is supposed to be reference quality. Now season 3 of halo is canned, really pissed me off, do you think they will release it on physical media, it would be a waste of a production.
Hey Wayne. Yeah I heard the same when it comes to Grand Turismo. I'm not expecting a great movie but I'm hoping to be somewhat entertained by it. I'm sure the 4K disc will help. Such a shame to hear about Halo season 3. To be honest Wayne I never got into the series. Fingers crossed on the physical Media release
Sometimes Amazon Italy feels a bit like Temu. It feels like you’ll get a knock-off, but I got Jurassic World Domination steelbook on there for €8 and it’s legit. I don’t know why their so cheap
Nearly Everything I bought off Amazon Italy is completely legit. The Love Actually release that I have in this video is not Italian it's French. Other than that I've had no issues
Afraid to say that the movie Trap is one of the worst movies of the year, its an absolute cringe fest. I'm looking forward to hearing ya thoughts on it keith. Ya spot on about M Nights movies though, they're definitely love/hate, no middle ground at all. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice was okay, just above average. Nowhere near the original, but mind you it was never going to be was it.
To be honest Chris I am expecting nothing from the movie. It's always a gamble buying any of M Nights movies. I think the real reason to why I got it is because of Josh Hartnett. As for Beetlejuice Beetlejuice I will take average all day. Once it's not terrible that's the most important thing. I was never expecting it to be anywhere close to the original. But I will see for myself and fingers crossed I get something from it. A huge thank you once again my friend for taking the time to stop by and share your thoughts. It's always appreciated
As far as i heard the US Universal edition ofLove Actually looks bad as well… i assume it‘s the same transfer… it‘s probably an upscale of the old 2k master with added DNR… We‘ll have to wait for a new release with a new transfer…
That is an absolute shame to hear because I was going to pick up the universal edition. I think I will stick with my Blu-ray for now. You forget how good the Blu-ray looks. Thanks for the heads up on that Gregor
Are you talking about the version that released in November last year or the replacement version that people were sent earlier this year? I've heard that the replacement version was a big improvement.
@@trent82 i did not read anything about that nor did i stumble over any reviews of this new updated version… but i‘ll read up on it… sounds interesting…
@@millerman9991 same… i‘ll get the next 4k edition (maybe the 25th anniversary?) but only if i read a good review about it… the blu ray as you say holds up very well…
Like I said in the video I've heard very mixed things about it. My expectations are quite low but I'm hoping that might help me. I will have to wait and see. Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by and share your thoughts.
Yeah, French releases are very often a problem when it comes to subtitles. When they release a French movie, it's useless to buy them, because they only offer French subtitles. In 2021 the movie Eiffel was released, in 2023 The Three Musketeers, and this year The Count of Monte-Cristo. All of them were only released on 4k Blu-ray in France, and they even had some very nice Collector's Editions. However, they're completely useless, because there are no English subtitles. If you want to sell these movies, just include English subtitles, so foreigners who want to see the movie can import the French version. I think English subtitles should always be included, no matter the spoken language of the movie. This way, most people will still be able to understand what's going on, even if they don't understand the language being spoken in the movie. Anyway, tonight I expect the Steelbook for Joker: Folie à Deux from Amazon Italy to arrive.
Hey Patrick. I honestly never knew that when it came to French releases. It goes without saying but I don't have many in my collection. I will definitely remember that from here on. I still need to pick up the Joker sequel myself. I've heard so many bad things about it but I'm still very intrigued to check it out. I'm hoping I'll feel differently about it. By the way Patrick I received your emails and I did reply to it but I'm having trouble with my emails. I'm hoping it got to you okay
@@millerman9991 When it was first announced, I thought: "Lady Gaga? What's she doing in a Joker movie? What? It's going to be a musical?" I love the first movie, and now the sequel was suddenly going to be a musical. I usually don't like musicals, and then all the negative reviews came in, so my expectations were very low. Maybe it's because my expectations were so incredibly low, that, in the end, it actually exceeded my expectations. Of course, it can't even come close to the first movie, but I didn't think it was that bad. Although, I admit, the strongest part of the movie is the opening. Yes, I did receive your email. I did order both movies a third time, so we'll see what's going to happen.
Thanks so much Patrick for letting me know about the emails. There is something weird going on because a few times I tried sending and they wouldn't go through. Something about my memory was full or something like that. Hopefully I won't have any issues from here on
Like I said in the video Sean all I'm expecting is a fun over the top popcorn movie and something tell me that's what I'm going to get. Shut your brain off and enjoy the show
I don't have to tell you Sean streaming is definitely not for me. I'm more than happy to take a gamble. It comes with the territory of being a collector like myself
@ oh I know I’m on a budget so I limit streaming to older stuff I buy most new releases just some stuff like Godzilla kong is not really my thing I don’t normally with that sort of mov
It goes without saying Michael but it was a horrible thing he done but we all make mistakes. I don't think he should pay a lifetime for a mistake. But that's just me
Nice pickups Keith.
Thank you for sharing.
It's always my pleasure cheekster. Thank you again for stopping by. Merry Christmas to you
Great pickups... looking forward to watching beetlejucce 2 myself.... Thanks for sharing Keith 👍
I've heard very mixed things about it Roy but I'm still very optimistic. Fingers crossed both of us enjoy it. Thank you for stopping by. Merry Christmas to you
Hi keith hi Keith great video as usual some lovely additions there hope you’re keeping well. Have a great Christmas.
A huge thank you as always John for taking the time to stop by and check it out. Merry Christmas to you and the family. We really need to catch up
Keith you and Ellen have a good Christmas...don't get too drunk!😁
Too late Steven 😂😂😂. Thank you so much my friend and a Merry Christmas to you
The great escape looks amazing on 4K. I need to see part 2 very soon.
I have to admit Stephen I am very intrigued to check out the sequel myself. I didn't even know it existed.
@ I didn’t have a clue on the sequel either. Looking forward to seeing Christophe Reeve in another role apart from superman.
Yeah I'm the exact same. I heard Donald Pleasence is in it as well
keith great vid wishing you and your family a great christmas and happy new year looking forward to more great content next year tc steve
Merry Christmas to you Steve and a Happy New Year. Thank you for all the support my friend. I really appreciate it
Nice - I received 88 Films version of From Beyond ! Amazing film , packaging and transfer !
Agreed, although I think the 4k transfer could've been better, too much noise.
Great to hear that you picked it up Mark. I will definitely look into it myself. Thanks for reminding me
I sort of agree. It’s a great package and i love the movie
Wow! Some gorgeous looking steelbooks there!
Yeah for the most part I'm very happy. Thank you for checking them out
Some great new stelbooks Keith! Wishing you all a very happy Christmas 😀🎄
A Merry Christmas to you Paul. A huge thanks as always for stopping by
Lovely pick ups Keith. You've really proven Amazon Italy is the place to go for steelbooks. I'll have a look after Christmas and see what I can pick up. Planning some time off work in Jan so planning a lot of viewings. Love the Kong and Bad Boys steelbooks and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.Keaton is great as he always is but film is average at best. Saw Trapped in the cinema and it's fine. Not a classic but an entertaining watch . I hope you enjoy them all when you get round to it. I'm just about to watch Scrooged. You and Andy have really gotten the Christmas vibe going with me. Thanks for posting.
Hey Alan. I only just watched scrooged myself a couple of nights ago. The ending of it chokes me up every single time. Bill Murray's acting is top notch and to be honest I'm looking forward to watching it again over the holidays. It's one of those movies that never gets boring. A huge thank you once again Alan for taking the time to stop by and share your thoughts on some of my pickups. It's always appreciated. Merry Christmas to you. Keep those Christmas vibes going. No better time of year
Thanks for doing the video, Keith. The Fall Guy and Trap were a bit disappointed for me, but both are entertaining. Looking forward to seeing if you like them. Take care, buddy.
Like I said in the videos Saul I'm not expecting a whole lot from some of the movies that I got here but if I get a fraction of entertainment I will take that all day long. Thank you as always my friend for stopping by
Lot of nice pickups Keith. The glow in the dark on the Beetlejuice steelbook is great.
It's probably my favourite of the Bunch if I'm completely honest Joe. Fingers crossed I enjoy the movie. Thank you for checking it out
@@millerman9991 I thought it was really funny and I enjoyed it. Hope you have fun watching it.
I'm sure I'm going to enjoy it. I don't think it's going to be anywhere near as good as the original but I am hoping for a solid sequel. I will know soon enough
Great pickups 👌👌👌👌👌
Thank you so much for checking them out. Really appreciate it
Love your taste 😂❤ you collect some awesome stuff … great video . I hate forced subs 👎🏻 wait for the local release
Yeah you are absolutely spot on I should have waited for the local release. Thankfully I was able to return it without any issues. Such a shame in the end. Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by and check it out. I really appreciate the kind words as well. All the best to you
Hi Keith, great video as always. You got some great titles. I'll let you have my thoughts on some of these films tomorrow night. I'll be doing another night shift which will give me some time to comment on your purchases.
It goes without saying Ash but I always appreciate any input you have and I look forward to reading it. Thank you again for taking the time to stop by and check out the video. Merry Christmas to you
Great vid lad, enjoy your new haul. Godzilla X is great entertainment and tech specs are off the charts. Looking forward to Far and Away and Legends of the Fall, coming in a few days. Merry Christmas Keith and a grand New Year 🇺🇸✌️🇮🇪
Hey Michael. I completely forgot that far and away and legends of the Fall are coming out. I will definitely look into both of them myself. Really hope you enjoyed them when you get them. Thank you for all the support my friend and a Merry Christmas to you. Look after yourself
Great pickups 🙏👌
Thank you for checking them out Conor. Talk to u tomorrow
Haven't seen any of them Keith, although I do intend getting a copy of Beetlejuice 2 at some point. I used to be a big fan of the Gran Turismo games but haven't seen the film. At least that steelbook for Trap is red and black mate, but, like you said, there's not a lot to it. Glad you got the Arrow edition of The Great Escape, it's a superb set. Best wishes to you both. Gaz.
I know I love my red and black Steelbooks but even I have to admit this one is quite poor. Not sure what I was thinking when I purchased it. As for the great escape yeah I couldn't be happier. I'm not expecting the transfer to look any better than the Capelight edition that I have. But I will have to wait and see. Thank you as always Gary for stopping by
Some good pickups there Keith, I have the Gran Turismo and the Godzilla steelbooks. The Bad Boys steelbook looks fab 👍
Yeah I have to admit I am very pleased with most of my purchases. Let's just hope the movies are as good. A huge thank you as always John for stopping by. Merry Christmas to you and the family
@millerman9991 Cheers Keith 👍 Merry Christmas to your good self and Ellen, can't wait to find out what great editions she has for you 👌
I'm looking forward to finding out myself John. Knowing Ellen it's going to be great
@@millerman9991 👌
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is brilliant, we say it at the cinema. Have that same GITD Steelbook. The slipcover and the plastic inner frame both glow well.
Godzilla X Kong is also brilliant
I will definitely look into the glow in the dark Steelbook. I've heard it's supposed to be quite good. As for the movie it goes without saying but really looking forward to checking it out. Great to hear that you enjoyed it. Thank you for stopping by and sharing your thoughts.
It has the same feel as the original, the whole family is there, apart from Dad (for obvious reasons) and Jenna Ortega does a great job. Wait till you see the Soul Train
Jenny Ortega was a very obvious choice for this movie. She looks like your typical Tim Burton girl. I heard she's very good in it. Fingers crossed I enjoy it
Hi Keith A happy Christmas to you and Helen let's hope 2025 will be a good one looking forward to your videos in 2025
A Merry Christmas to you Mike and thank you for all the support over the last year. You have no idea how much I appreciate it
Hi I bought the 4k edition of Love Actually last year from Universal in the USA. The picture quality is not the greatest, sound quality was in dolby atmos, really good. I love your reviews and your opinion is spot on. Keep up the good work and a Very Merry Christmas to you and your family. Kind regards Nick
That version of Love, Actually quietly had a replacement program. The disc wasn't simply disappointing. Something went very wrong. It clearly looked worse than the 1080p blu-ray and maybe some scenes looked more like DVD quality. I got a replacement sent to me sometime well after Christmas and I never checked it out, but I've heard it is quite a bit better.
@trent82 it's funny you said that because I have this weird memory of somebody telling me there was a disc replacement program for Love Actually. I will definitely look into that.
Hey Nick. Thank you so much for letting me know about the transfer of Love Actually. As you can see by the other comments apparently there is a replacement program and fingers crossed it looks a hell of a lot better. Very surprised to hear that it came with Dolby Atmos and for that reason alone I would probably pick it up. The one I have only has 5.1. So a huge thanks again Nick and A Merry Christmas to you and the family
Love actually is my wife’s favourite Christmas film. I managed to come across the blu ray in a charity shop for £1 (brownie points). 😂👍
To be honest Stephen I probably should have stuck to the Blu-ray because it looks great. Such a wonderful movie
@ I’ve only started watching it recently,normally not my kind of thing,but nice to watch with the wife.
Great video Keith some nice pick ups and not so nice in my humble opinion. I thought trap was a 90 minute promo for the directors daughters singing career. Look forward to your great escape review as interested in picture quality lastly merry Xmas to you and your family
I had absolutely no idea that is his daughter. I have to admit that has slightly put me off it. I'm not expecting too much but I'm hoping for elements of enjoyment. I'm sure Josh Hartnett alone will give me that. Thank you as always Kevin for taking the time to stop by. Merry Christmas to you and the family. Look after yourself
Got convoy 4k steelbook studio canal last week and the equalizer three. 4k steelbook
Great selection there Keith.
I really enjoyed Godzilla X Kong, so it'll be interesting to see what you think.
I'm not expecting too much from it Chris. I'm still a little bit fatigued but I'm hoping the visuals will carry me through. Thank you for checking it out my friend
Every December I do a top 10 list for friends of what I’ve considered to be the best movies of the year. For 2024 The Fall Guy features at no.8 and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice at no.3. Bad Boys also gets an honorable mention.
I didn’t think the Banana Boat (Day-O) lip sync scene could ever be topped from Beetlejuice, but for me the wedding scene in the sequel absolutely takes it! Enjoy Keith, great content as ever.
Hey Scott. Great to hear that two of my movies have made your top 10. Almost three. Like I said in the video I heard mixed things when it comes to Beetlejuice Beetlejuice but something's telling me I'm going to enjoy it regardless of what I hear. I'm not expecting it to be as good as the original but I am hoping for a solid sequel. I will know very soon. But thank you so much Scott for taking the time to stop by and share your thoughts. I really do appreciate it
Good Man Kieth getting great deals on Amazon Italy, 2025 will be a big year for amazon Ireland so that will be interesting what you find.
Yeah it's going to be very interesting to see what happens with Amazon Ireland. I really hope it doesn't come with Irish prices. The thought of getting same day delivery is very intriguing. We will have to wait and see. Roll on 2025
I liked Beetlejuice beetlejuice, it was a good enough sequel. Honestly liked it more than Romulus as legacy sequels
I'm very hopeful when it comes to Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. I was never expecting it to be anywhere near as good as the original but I am hoping for a solid sequel. I should know soon enough. Thanks for the heads up
Hi Keith, nice pickups, I have BeetleJuice BeetleJuice just a basic 4K Release i am looking fwd 2 watching it, Bad Boys Ride or Die is Amazing I’ll luv it at the cinema & watching it again on the that 4k steelbook, u & Ellen will luv & enjoy it will be a great nights entertainment it’s Really Funny with Will Smith & Martin Lawrence great chemistry & humour from them + Non Stop Action Scenes
I honestly cannot wait to sit down and check out Bad Boys ride or die. I knew it was going to be good Matthew it was just a question of how good it is. I honestly cannot wait to sit down and check it out especially after reading this comment. I always trust your opinion my friend. So a huge thank you for taking the time to stop by and share it with me. It's always appreciated
Nice video Keith, I had The Sixth Sense and Signs drop from Amazon Italy this week. With regard to Gran Turismo, I have that steelbook and (as I’m a long term fan of the games) I picked it up at launch. I was fearing the worst, but I actually really enjoyed the film and the Atmos soundtrack is amazing.
I have the Sixth Sense and Signs Steelbooks coming hopefully tomorrow. I have to admit I was very surprised by how beautiful that Steelbook of the Sixth Sense looks. When I first seen it I wasn't all that impressed. It's only when I seen the pictures on Instagram that I realised how fantastic it actually is. Thank you by the way for the heads up on Gran Turismo. Fingers crossed I get something out of it myself. A huge thank you my friend for taking the time to stop by. It's always appreciated
@ yes the Sixth Sense steelbook is lovely, to be fair the Signs one is pretty good too. I’m sure you will like GT, it’s a good action film and David Harbour is good in it. Speaking of which, I also watch a lot of Christmas films through December and Monday’s film this week was Violent Night. I really enjoyed that one. Enjoy the season Keith and all the films that go with it.
@CASFAN I've only seen violent night once and I love it. I'm definitely up for a second viewing sometime over the holidays. Great to hear that you enjoyed it yourself. But thank you again my friend. Hope you enjoy the festive movies. We're having a blast at the moment
Great pickups! I got the US Universal Love Actually, and thought it looked fine (also one of my all-time favourite Christmas films). I LOVED The Fall Guy (and not just because it was shot in my home city). Trap... I didn't like, but it had its moments.
Hey Paul. From what I've been hearing universal done a disc replacement program for Love Actually and apparently it's supposed to look fantastic. I'm presuming that's the one that you got in the end. I will definitely try and Hunt it down myself. Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by and share your thoughts. It's always appreciated
@ Good to know!! Hope you have a great Christmas 🎄
Thank you so much Paul and a Merry Christmas to you and the family. Look after yourself
@ Cheers!
That Gran Turismo steelbook is on of my all time favorites. The Dolby Atmos is a 10 out of 10 in my opinion, way better than the steaming file. It’s based on a true story when Sony wanted to prove how superior their game software was to teach and produce a Formula one driver. Unbelievable story. Great cast. This one fell under the radar for some reason. I suggest after watching google the true life event this was based on. Fascinating story, fantastic Steelbook.
I had absolutely no idea this was based on a true story. That is absolutely insane. It goes without saying Chadwick but I am looking forward to checking it out. I heard the 4K disc is reference quality so that alone is going to help with my enjoyment. Hopefully I will see for myself very soon. A huge thank you once again my friend for taking the time to stop by and for giving me a heads up on that movie. It's always appreciated
I enjoyed this video thanks. I really liked bad boys film and gran turismo and specially with your surrounding sound. I wanted your steelbook version of Kong /zilla but could only get the red one .
Hey Dom. Yeah I heard Gran Turismo is a reference quality disc and I'm sure that's going to help with my enjoyment of the movie. Really looking forward to checking it out. Thank you as always for taking the time to stop by and check out my video. Merry Christmas to you
@ you to - enjoy the festivities 🎄
@Dom74-y9z thanks again Dom
I haven't seen The Fall Guy, Keith, I have it to watch and I heard Lee Majors has a cameo in it. Trap is a one time watch and is left open for a sequel. Godzilla vs Kong is exactly what you said, it's a popcorn movie, the steel book does look really nice though. If you want to see a great Godzilla movie, check out Godzilla Minus One, its brilliant Keith. Beetle Juice was Ok, it did take me two attempts to watch it. I am not a Will Smith fan but Bad Boys Ride Or Die was pretty good I have to admit, and it's another stunning steel book. Some nice pick ups Keith, January is going to be a busy month for you.
Like I said in the video Gary when it comes to trap. I'm either going to love it or hate it. I am somewhat concerned after reading your comment. But I will have to wait and see. I am definitely going to pick up Godzilla minus 1. Ideally I would like to get it on the cheap. So it's going to be another while. As for Bad Boys ride or Die that is a movie I really am looking forward to. Why I haven't gotten around to it already I will never understand. But it is going to be a crazy month and to be honest I'm looking forward to it. I still have more to come. A huge thanks as always my friend for taking the time to stop by and share your thoughts on these movies. It goes without saying but I really appreciate it
I've bought several studio canal haven't had the subtitle issue in the states also heard universal also has a 4k issue with love actually that's why I got the blu-ray fall guy reminds me of Hooper with Burt Reynolds Happy Christmas 🎄 too all looking forward to watching next year 🎉
Yeah apparently universal did a disc replacement program for Love Actually because apparently it looked terrible. Supposedly the replacement looks a hell of a lot better. I will definitely look into it. A huge thank you for taking the time to stop by and share your thoughts. Really appreciate the kind words as well. Merry Christmas to you my friend.
Good review keith. Where did you pick up the beetle juice with the glow in the dark cover. I finally got myself the die hard Nakatomi set which I first saw on your channel last Christmas. Had to get it at some stage. Happy Christmas to you both and look forward to more great reviews in 2025. 👍🇮🇪
Hey Darren. My Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Steelbook I picked up from Amazon Italy. I'm almost certain it's still available as well. As for the nakatomi set I am so happy to hear that you picked it up. It's such a lovely release. Merry Christmas to you Darren and a Happy New Year. Please pass on my best to the family as well
I have the Steelbooks of Godzilla x Kong and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice too.
And I finally got my Alien Romulus, Terminator und Godzilla Minus One Steelbooks this week.
And the stunning Mediabook of Robocop from Capelight.
I completely forgot about the RoboCop release. I will definitely try and Hunt one down for myself. Hopefully the Steelbook. But I'm so happy to hear that you got your Alien Romulus and Terminator release. What a double bill that is going to be for you.
@@millerman9991 Yeah, oh, and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is one of my greatest suprises this year.
I enjoyed it really.
Happy Holidays to you and your family!
It's probably my favourite release out of everything I showed in this video. Really looking forward to the movie. A huge thanks again my friend. All the best to you
@ thanks!
@TheChefteddy my pleasure
Fall guy was funny I only went to see it because my power went still it’s a fun little action comedy movie you should enjoy it great haul
Yeah I have to admit Sean I'm really looking forward to checking it out. I thought the trailers looked promising and like I said in the video I am a big fan of both actors so fingers crossed I enjoy it
@@millerman9991 I bought it so it was good enough it ain’t top die hard standard action but fun enough
Yeah I was never expecting that kind of action from it. But I'm sure it's still going to be fun nonetheless
Stone Cold Fact - There are no bad Bad Boys movies, just varying levels of greatness.
Like I said I'm a huge fan of the first three so fingers crossed I'll get as much out of this one. I will know soon enough
@millerman9991 You will mate, it's brilliant, wait until you see the Reggie sequence.... 🤣😮
@Boyer316 I love the Reggie sequence in the second movie. So this one should be very good
On the ub820 you can basically shrink the subtitles to be invisible ( not sure about the sony ) my French dog soldiers had forced subtitles and it fixed the issue. I had a hard time trying to return my last steel from Amazon italy, they asked for government id !! ) we don't have that in UK)
The fall guy is a great watch mate , I got the blu ray that was wrongly packaged with the 4k extended edition included 😉.
Trap, that was OK at cinema and not wanting to see it again.
Gran turismo is good , and the atmos is worth the price of admission by itself . I have the same steelbook.
Godzilla is bang average mate .
Hey Ian. I've already left back Love Actually. Had absolutely no issues returning it either. I'm not sure why they asked for ID off you. That is very strange to say the least. As for the subtitles yeah there was nothing I can do. My player doesn't have that option. To be honest it's something that I shouldn't have to concern myself about. Why did they not include a simple function to knock it off I will never fully understand. A huge thank you as always Ian for taking the time to stop by and share your thoughts on some of these movies. It's always appreciated my friend
@millerman9991 yes I had no idea what they were on about regarding * government id" very strange indeed. ( maybe untrained staff , who knows) BTW, we watched both signs and the sixth sense and both are absolutely gorgeous in 4k.
Shame we didn't get dolby vision/ atmos but I can highly recommend the transfers.
That is great to hear Ian when it comes to both of those movies. I've heard great things myself about them. I'm not too concerned when it comes to Dolby Atmos particularly with sixth sense because it doesn't particularly lend well to Atmos. I'm sure I'm going to have a great time checking both out
Hi Keith brilliant video as usual. As a critic i can tell u that Trap is not a good movie.. But u will have a good time with Gran Turrismo.. enjoy mate
Hey Kyle. To be honest I am not one bit surprised to hear you say that about trap. Like I said in the video there is no middle ground when it comes to M Night and chances are I'll probably hate it. I'm hoping for the best. I'm a big fan of Josh Hartnett so he might help with my enjoyment. Thank you for the heads up my friend
Nice pickups Keith, I'm interested to see The Fall Guy, Trap, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice and Bad Boys. I've only seen Gran Turismo and I thought it was only ok, visuals and audio are great the story is a bit slow and not that interesting to be honest. David Harbour is probably the best thing in the movie. I feel the same fatigue that you do regarding Godzilla and Kong. That being said, just got my Godzilla Minus One in the post and I'm quite sure it will be a whole different watch. Also got A Quiet Place: Day One, Taxi Driver, Twisters, GB: The Frozen Empire and The Terminator all on steelbook. The only thing left is to wait for the holidays. Merry Christmas Keith and Ellen. 🎄
Hey Sebastian. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts on Gran Turismo. At least you got some entertainment from it and I'm hoping the same will happen with myself. By the way you got yourself some absolutely fantastic pickups. Now that you put it in my head I really need to pick up A Quiet Place Day 1. You are definitely covered for the holidays my friend. I really do hope you enjoyed them. Thanks again for all the support Sebastian and a Merry Christmas to you and the family. Look after yourself
Gran Tourismo is very entertaining. Me and my son had a great time watching it. The FallGuy is great fun, shame it failed at the boxoffice. Godzilla x Kong also good - it is what you expect, and that's not a bad thing at all. I can't speak for the others.
Hey Jamie. It goes without saying but I am really looking forward to checking out every single release that I have here. My expectations are a bit low on a few of them but that's only going to help me. Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by and share your thoughts.
Some nice pick-ups, have seen only a few of them...i enjoyed The Fall Guy,Trap is grand,definitely worth a watch,have standard edition of Gran Turismo 4k,haven't watched yet but have heard good things,Beetlejuice Beetlejuice was okay but nowhere near as good as the original, have the white steelbook of Godzilla X Kong,another i need to watch...like yourself I've lots to catch up on bud 😅
I am not kidding Marty by the time I'm done with all of these pickups I will probably be covered for the first 3 months of the year. It's crazy what I have missed out on. But to get them at the prices that I'm getting them at was definitely worth the wait. A huge thank you once again my friend for taking the time to stop by and share your thoughts on some of these movies. I can't stress to you how much Ellen loves the little statue you sent. It means so much.
@millerman9991 I so happy that she likes it Keith....Amazon Italy do some amazing value compared to Amazon UK,especially with steelbooks...I'll look forward to seeing your reviews bud 😀
@MadMartysMovieReviews-gv6hk yeah I have to agree with you Marty when it comes to Amazon Italy. The amount of money I have saved because of them is amazing. Going to buy a few more very soon. Thanks again Marty
I got the same love actually 4k from France a while ago. If you have a Panasonic ub9000 you can move the subtitles so they aren't on screen so there is a work around to this inconvenience.
I thought the picture whilst not reference was an improvement over the bluray.
I read that the American 4k universal release was inferior to the French studio canal release.
I have kept the previous uk bluray as well because it has the UK soundtrack whereas the French 4k has the American soundtrack.
That's a great function to have when it comes to the Panasonic player. Having said that things like this shouldn't happen. Why they do not include a simple function to knock off subtitles I will never fully wrap my head around.
As for the 4K picture I'm not going to lie I was very underwhelmed by it. Apparently the Universal release looks fantastic and also comes with Dolby Atmos. So I think I'll be definitely picking that one up. I probably should have done it in the first place.
@millerman9991 thanks for a quick response.
I hope you and your family have a great christmas and a happy new year. 😀
Keep up the good work 👏
@nicketheridge9431 really appreciate that Nick and a Merry Christmas to you and the family and all the best for the New Year
Out of all those that you have shown keith the only ones I haven't seen is love actually and gran turismo I'll eventually get round to buying gran turismo which I was a fan of the games...if you like it check out Ferrari which is a good film...now for the rest of the films the only one I was disappointed with was trap! the rest of them are just fun popcorn movies just go into them with a open mind keith!🙂
To be honest Stephen I am not one bit surprised to hear that trap was your most disappointing movie. Like I said in the video I've heard so many bad things about it. Such a shame because the trailer looks fantastic. But I will have to see for myself and fingers crossed I might get something from it. A huge thank you as always my friend for taking the time to stop by and share your thoughts. Merry Christmas to you

Gave Beetlejuice a watch about an hour ago. It was just okay, hope you like it better than me.

Hi Keith, yeah, I got the french 4K of Love Actually as well and I just hate this version. The forced subtitles are not acceptable! In France, this happens quite often. Unfortunately, they also did the same with the 4K steelbook of Bridget Jones. As an added "bonus" the picture quality is really not worthy of 4K, as you mentioned. I compared it to my old Universal blu ray and the blu "actually" looked better. It's sharper and has better coulours. Maybe I'll get the US 4K. It does come with Dolby Atmos, the picture quality, however, of the US 4K isn't great as well.
The Fall Guy may not be the best movie ever made, but it's still a very entertaining popcorn action comedy. There's quite a lot to enjoy and the 4K transfer really shines and the Atmos will give your home cinema a nice workout. Just make sure to watch the extended cut.
When I first heard about Gran Turismo I immediately thought oh f... not another stupid film based on a game (Speedracer, yuck!) but thankfully that's not what this film is about. It's actually based on a true story about some of the best Gran Turismo gamers who were given a chance to show how they would fare in a real car race. Once again, not Oscar worthy but also very entertaining. Some of the racing scenes are pretty amazing and it's just another great 4K. So, if you don't get your hopes up too high you might enjoy this film. I do agree with you, though, I also miss the Neill Blomkamp who gave us District 9 and Elysium.
Godzilla x Kong is the worst film of this particular monsterverse. But if you lower your expectations, you still have a nice monster mash on a reference 4K. Turn up the volume and get blown away by the audiovisual onslaught. Sometimes, that's all you need.
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is kind of a mixed bag. I did enjoy parts of it. It was great to have most of the original actors back and every now and then you get this Beetlejuice vibe. Ortega was an adequate addition to the cast and she worked for me as Ryder's daughter. It's just that it wasn't a very coherent movie. There is a (not really a spoiler) veeery long wedding sequence which was simply overdone as a musical number and not really funny. I still enjoyed the film and as a sequel it didn't take anything away from the great and superior original movie. I'll definitely give it a second chance on 4K. I watched this film in a movie theater and it just wasn't what I was hoping for. Maybe sometimes it's better to just leave the classics alone, but as I said, there's still something to like about the sequel. Just give it a try.
I also have this beautiful Bad Boys Ride or Die 4k steelbook. If you like Bad Boys for Life you surely won't be disappointed by this 4th part. It's loads of fun and the Smith/Lawrence chemistry still works fine. The action is up to Bad Boys standards and this being a Sony title, the 4K quality is amazing, too.
Do you know the film Body Parts? It's another great early 90s horror/action thriller directed by Eric Red and starring Jeff Fahey and Brad Dourif. Unfortunately, it wasn't a big success when it was originally released, but I really like the plot and you get one of the most "exciting" car crashes ever put on film. It will be released by Kino Lorber on January 24. I would even recommend this film as a blind buy, if you don't know it. I wish you a nice weekend, mate.
Hey Ash. Wow now that is a comment. First off yeah I was very disappointed with the release of Love Actually. I wasn't aware of these French releases and how they always have forced subtitles. Definitely a lesson learnt. Just a heads up though when it comes to the universal release. Apparently they did a disc replacement program because the 4K transfer looked terrible. But with the replacement apparently everything looks great. So make sure you do get that release.
As for the rest of the movies that I featured in this video I'm looking forward to them all. Bad boys in particular I honestly cannot wait to check out. Why I haven't checked it out already I will never understand. If it's more of the same then happy Days.
I did hear of that movie body parts but I don't think I got around to checking it out. Another part of me thinks I might have. It could be one of those movies that when I watch it will start to feel a bit familiar. I didn't realise Kino Lorber were bringing out a release of it. I actually might look into it.
A huge thank you once again Ash for taking the time and effort to put all of this down. I don't think you fully comprehend how much I appreciate it. All the best my friend and a Merry Christmas to you
No Great Escape yet?
I got it 2 days ago. I don't think I will be putting out a review until January unfortunately.
Hi Keith I've got gran turismo a few weeks back cheap from zavie I have never watched it but did some research and it is supposed to be reference quality. Now season 3 of halo is canned, really pissed me off, do you think they will release it on physical media, it would be a waste of a production.
Hey Wayne. Yeah I heard the same when it comes to Grand Turismo. I'm not expecting a great movie but I'm hoping to be somewhat entertained by it. I'm sure the 4K disc will help. Such a shame to hear about Halo season 3. To be honest Wayne I never got into the series. Fingers crossed on the physical Media release
Sometimes Amazon Italy feels a bit like Temu. It feels like you’ll get a knock-off, but I got Jurassic World Domination steelbook on there for €8 and it’s legit. I don’t know why their so cheap
Nearly Everything I bought off Amazon Italy is completely legit. The Love Actually release that I have in this video is not Italian it's French. Other than that I've had no issues
Afraid to say that the movie Trap is one of the worst movies of the year, its an absolute cringe fest. I'm looking forward to hearing ya thoughts on it keith. Ya spot on about M Nights movies though, they're definitely love/hate, no middle ground at all. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice was okay, just above average. Nowhere near the original, but mind you it was never going to be was it.
To be honest Chris I am expecting nothing from the movie. It's always a gamble buying any of M Nights movies. I think the real reason to why I got it is because of Josh Hartnett. As for Beetlejuice Beetlejuice I will take average all day. Once it's not terrible that's the most important thing. I was never expecting it to be anywhere close to the original. But I will see for myself and fingers crossed I get something from it. A huge thank you once again my friend for taking the time to stop by and share your thoughts. It's always appreciated
As far as i heard the US Universal edition ofLove Actually looks bad as well… i assume it‘s the same transfer…
it‘s probably an upscale of the old 2k master with added DNR…
We‘ll have to wait for a new release with a new transfer…
That is an absolute shame to hear because I was going to pick up the universal edition. I think I will stick with my Blu-ray for now. You forget how good the Blu-ray looks. Thanks for the heads up on that Gregor
Are you talking about the version that released in November last year or the replacement version that people were sent earlier this year? I've heard that the replacement version was a big improvement.
@@trent82 i did not read anything about that nor did i stumble over any reviews of this new updated version… but i‘ll read up on it… sounds interesting…
@@millerman9991 same… i‘ll get the next 4k edition (maybe the 25th anniversary?) but only if i read a good review about it…
the blu ray as you say holds up very well…
The Beetlejuice steel is better than the film. Rehashed scenes, pointless subplots and a bleeped F bomb. Not worth a 40 year wait.
Like I said in the video I've heard very mixed things about it. My expectations are quite low but I'm hoping that might help me. I will have to wait and see. Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by and share your thoughts.
Yeah, French releases are very often a problem when it comes to subtitles. When they release a French movie, it's useless to buy them, because they only offer French subtitles. In 2021 the movie Eiffel was released, in 2023 The Three Musketeers, and this year The Count of Monte-Cristo. All of them were only released on 4k Blu-ray in France, and they even had some very nice Collector's Editions. However, they're completely useless, because there are no English subtitles. If you want to sell these movies, just include English subtitles, so foreigners who want to see the movie can import the French version. I think English subtitles should always be included, no matter the spoken language of the movie. This way, most people will still be able to understand what's going on, even if they don't understand the language being spoken in the movie.
Anyway, tonight I expect the Steelbook for Joker: Folie à Deux from Amazon Italy to arrive.
Hey Patrick. I honestly never knew that when it came to French releases. It goes without saying but I don't have many in my collection. I will definitely remember that from here on.
I still need to pick up the Joker sequel myself. I've heard so many bad things about it but I'm still very intrigued to check it out. I'm hoping I'll feel differently about it.
By the way Patrick I received your emails and I did reply to it but I'm having trouble with my emails. I'm hoping it got to you okay
@@millerman9991 When it was first announced, I thought: "Lady Gaga? What's she doing in a Joker movie? What? It's going to be a musical?" I love the first movie, and now the sequel was suddenly going to be a musical. I usually don't like musicals, and then all the negative reviews came in, so my expectations were very low. Maybe it's because my expectations were so incredibly low, that, in the end, it actually exceeded my expectations. Of course, it can't even come close to the first movie, but I didn't think it was that bad. Although, I admit, the strongest part of the movie is the opening.
Yes, I did receive your email. I did order both movies a third time, so we'll see what's going to happen.
Thanks so much Patrick for letting me know about the emails. There is something weird going on because a few times I tried sending and they wouldn't go through. Something about my memory was full or something like that. Hopefully I won't have any issues from here on
@@millerman9991 Strange. Well, I don't know how many emails you've tried to send, but I did receive an email from you, last Tuesday.
@ijslandernl that is perfect Patrick. Hopefully the problem is fixed now
Godzilla vs kong is not great but that steelbook I have a happy little guy if you what I mean 😂
Like I said in the video Sean all I'm expecting is a fun over the top popcorn movie and something tell me that's what I'm going to get. Shut your brain off and enjoy the show
@ I watched it on streaming because unless a movie I’m sure I might like I leave it to streaming it’s fun but not great
I don't have to tell you Sean streaming is definitely not for me. I'm more than happy to take a gamble. It comes with the territory of being a collector like myself
@ oh I know I’m on a budget so I limit streaming to older stuff I buy most new releases just some stuff like Godzilla kong is not really my thing I don’t normally with that sort of mov
Yeah I completely understand that Sean.
The French being French yet again with their language.....
I will definitely be a lot more careful when it comes to buying French releases. Such a shame
I still can't get over Will Smith making a complete ass of himself at the Oscars, so I won't be watching that latest Bad Boys any time soon.
It goes without saying Michael but it was a horrible thing he done but we all make mistakes. I don't think he should pay a lifetime for a mistake. But that's just me
