Good news. Never the liked the look of this and after years I watched it -and loved it.

Cool little movie.

IndyMLVC · 04-09-2011, 01:04 PM

Anyone thinking of picking this up? Interested.

I'ld be curious if this release is region-locked, Ascot Elite could go either way (based on their track record). I also wonder how it compares to the previous Spanish release (that isn't in the database).

I'll contemplate getting it on Friday after I get paid. It's only $12 at Grooves Inc.

Shipped?

OrlandoEastwood · 04-11-2011, 05:15 PM

If you spend under $30, they charge you like $3 extra. So, I usually buy like a ton of stuff off of there. It's a pretty good webstore.

I just looked for it on the website and can't find it. Link?

OrlandoEastwood · 04-11-2011, 09:44 PM

Their search engine is trippy. If you go through the 3000 Blu-rays they have listed, you'd be able to find it if it doesn't show in the search. Here's the listing: http://www.grooves-inc.com/product_i...s_id/859321320 The prices slightly change because they convert prices over from Euro to US Dollars. My shopping cart is currently at $56.37 with 4 Blu-rays (5 movies). The Mexican is one of them.

IndyMLVC · 04-12-2011, 10:01 AM

Thanks, Orlando!

IndyMLVC · 04-16-2011, 12:32 PM

Anyone get it? Region-free? How's the transfer/encode?

The Driver · 04-16-2011, 02:23 PM

I'm tempted to buy from Grooves Inc and I'm wondering has anyone in the EU (or UK specifically) bought from them?

I see they're in Switzerland which has some tax agreements with the EU. I'm wondering if/what monetary restrictions are in place for importation. Anyone on the ball with this?

Sky_Captain · 04-16-2011, 05:25 PM

4 days from Switzerland to the UK with Grooves-Inc.

That's faster than some Jersey based outfits.

Can't help with customs, unfortunately, my item was only £12.

Well? What's the scoop?

Sky_Captain · 04-17-2011, 01:32 PM

It wasn't The Mexican that I bought, just giving some info regarding Grooves-Inc.

The Driver · 04-18-2011, 06:31 AM

Yeah, thanks

I've done a bit surf and turf at UK customs and posted the info over at the main Grooves thread here

IndyMLVC · 04-26-2011, 09:46 PM

Just got this from Grooves. Appears to be region free...though the extras are PAL.

The Driver · 04-27-2011, 03:16 PM

Got my The Mexican (or "Mexican" as it's been renamed). Region AB for sure.

Yeah, it does have content which will cause problems with people who don't have multi-standrd setups but you can still watch the film and go to the menu.

The menu should start after the logo/intro (which you can't see) but if it doesn't use my Jedi mind trick The special features may not be accessible of course if you have a caveman home cinema setup (ie all NTSC only) obviously.

As for the transfer, a real shock when that worn/grainy Dreamworks logo came up because I thought it would be a reflection of how the film would look -it isn't. There's grain but I'd say it looks good from my first impression. I think they tacked that logo on from a reel of film they found in a skip/dumpster.

Very strange to see Universal not linked to this release and I guess that's why there's so many Dreamworks films not on Blu-ray.
