According to our little database thingy, ALL backorders for the Warner DVD slicks (which consisted of LA Confidential, HEAT, Contact & One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest) have ALL been dispatched and emails have been sent to all on the list.

Given this is near Nine months down the track, we did have several Emails bounce back :)

IF you have been waiting on slicks and either haven't heard from us or haven't received your replacement SLICKS of the above mentioned Titles. please let us know at this address

gimmemyslicksdammit@dvdownunder.com.au

PLEASE NOTE The Above mentioned slicks are NOT available for "non-backorder" customers as we were only able to get just enough slicks from Warner to cover the backorders from many months ago. sorry.

Rush Hour 2 should be ESpecially EXcellent
We've managed to scrounge up only a few confirmed specs regarding the tentative March/April (or thereabouts) Region 4 DVD release of Rush Hour 2 from Roadshow.
So far we know that the piccy is 2.35:1 Anamorphic Widescreen AND the audio has indeed been remixed for our release. BIG YAY!!
For it's theatrical release RH2 received a 'measly' 5.1 audio mix in all Digital Sound Formats, BUT for it's DVD release, 'EX'pect to see a remixed Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround EX track, a Dolby 2.0 Surround track AND I'm 'ES'pecially please to hear RH2 will also include [Australia's 2nd] DTS ES 6.1 Discrete mix (so that's Roadshow - 2 DTS-ES releases : Every other DVD releaser in OZ...ZERO! )
There's also an audio commentary on this disc :)

We hope to have the skinny on the actual "extras" later on, but it seems to be shaping up into a very nice disc so far :))

An interesting mix of DVD reviews today Exit Wounds, Ace Ventura (NTSC), Last of the Mohicans, and Ticker (RENTAL) (when will studios realise that Albert Pyun just can't make a good film!)

DVD Reviews
Nothing overly exciting has been coming in on the news front of late, so it's just some more reviews today :(

Paul has seen fit to review 3000 Miles to Graceland as well as Cricket - Vintage Performances, and I've been reliving some of my high school favs with Child's Play 2 and 3 of the on-going filmic series (CP5 AKA Son of Chucky is apparently still in the works...yay :)

Upcoming DVD Slicks and Menus
Due for release in January from Roadshow is Enemy of the Gates, & Driven, as we reported a few months back, both sport DTS soundtracks. UNLIKE the USA versions...tee-hee :))))))
