I'm wondering if it's worth it to buy the Blu-ray 4 movie anthology. I have the first 2 on DVD, haven't seen the others, which I figure to be "inferior." I heard that the BD version is very good in terms of transfer, BD quality, but there are other things I can get with my money, things I haven't seen in any form that I figure should get priority.Alien 8.5/10
Watched this in anticipation of eventually seeing Prometheus in a couple weeks since I hate going to see a movie early in it's release. Picked up the Alien Anthology on Blu-ray so watched it on that and it's a great movie. Plus the quality of the Blu- ray transfer is excellent. I haven't seen it in many years and it was better than I remember it. It starts off slow which is why I deducted some points but after the extremely slow beginning, it's awesome after that. Better than part two but they really are different movies. One is more of a thriller/horror and part two is pure action. I'll watch all four movies before I go see Prometheus.
Apocalypto - 9/10
Frickin Mayans! Very well done, although I would have preferred to have kept the mental image of the idealized Mayans, which is now replaced with these bastards!
Enter the void -5/10
Excellent Google Earth Tokyo flyover.
WTF, so weird. They just removed Blade 2 here, so now I need to get part 2 elsewhere. :hmm:

Night Watch / Day Watch - 10/10
This is by far the best series I have ever watched. How it's taken me this long to see them is beyond me,The best way to describe this is: warring secret factions of night creatures + plots & schemes + brilliant fight scenes + really involved love story. Also, everything is in Russian which make this just that more badass. Oddly, Night Watch is on Netflix Streaming and Day Watch is on Amazon Video. Happily, I have both. I am so buying these on Blu for my library.maybe someone Chalked me out of it?

4/10
for a star actor Daniel Radclif lines were very light. all i remember him doing is running around with a "concerned" look. if this was his break out role from harry potter he is doomed.

Naa, ya really don't...:hmm:
I snagged Alien Anthology for $29.99 on Amazon Wednesday; It was their Deal of the Day. Even if I had paid their normal price, all the bonus discs and MU-TH-UR interaction more than make up for A3 & Resurrection.
This is an excellent series. The reason Day Watch drags out some is that it actually covers books 2 and 3 (Twilight Watch). The same director that did these did Wanted. You can easily recognize his style (I noticed it w/o even knowing he had done the movie).
He's also doing the Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter movie --- odd. lol
:hmm:
That Alien Blu-ray by itself is worth the thirty bones; you can just throw all of the other discs away and it's still a great deal. Amazing movie and amazing transfer.

Alien and Aliens have been $10 at Best Buy for weeks, and they both include $10 off a ticket for Prometheus.
Are they sold out by now?
