Alliance Titles 9/7/2010: Heavenly Creatures, Dog Pound, Nitro, MORE...

[Rhylliam]

Another batch from Alliance is coming out on September 7th, 2010! This batch includes the following titles from them:
-Dog Pound
-Heavenly Creatures: Uncut
-Nitro

Alliance will also FINALLY be playing a little bit of 'catch-up' on some US release that we just never got here. These include:
-Gangs of New York: Remastered (Same as the US 2nd release w/ better video)
-No Country for Old Men: Special Edition (Same as the extras-filled Miramax disc)

They also have another edition of:
-Lost In Space: Special Edition (Will be identical to new US disc & not the older CDN disc)

Another release that day is coming not from Alliance, but Paradox/E1:
-Jim Gaffigan: Beyond the Pale

I'm hoping that Gangs of New York & No Country are getting slipcovers, much like the Canadian 2-disc for Sin City. Then again... they did not do a slipcover for the Freddy Vs. Jason re-release. Time will tell!

I'll be getting this disc too, & REALLY hope that it is in fact the Unrated/longer cut, & they don't mess up like they did with the Spawn disc.

Not sure if I'd pick up the new Lost In Space disc. I have yet to see anything horribly wrong with the earlier one (well, minus lack of special features, and the annoying error when Gary Oldman is first introduced)

iirc, I think there was something strange about the framerate, I couldn't get it to play @ 24p correctly. (1080i? 60hz?)

Well I watched the film last night and it is certainly a step up from the DVD. There is some heavy grain in scenes, sometimes the image looks like an upscaled DVD, but overall it looks quite nice with a fine amount of detail.

Was it truly 1080i? Aspect ratio?

Sorry I've been away from my computer for a bit. Yes it's 1080i (but don't let that fool you, I never would have guessed it was myself.) The aspect ratio is 1.78:1.

It was 1080i, which would explain why it wouldn't play back at 24p

That's a damn shame.

I'm really glad to see Heavenly Creatures getting a Blu-ray release, it's a criminally underrated film that was the launch of Kate Winslet.

No Country for Old Men and Gangs of New York have now been pushed back to the 28th of Sept., yes... but they are also Steelbooks!

As soon as I get any sort of review/confirmation that Heavenly Creatures isn't screwed up in some way... it's mine! Love that film.

[RYJAPE21]

I'll definitely be getting Heavenly Creatures, an awesome film.

Had my Heavenly Creatures since last week, but haven't had a chance to look at it. Back cover says its 1080i (1.78:1) and only has a 2.0 Stereo English track.
