Wrong movie mate, this is the correct synopsis:

Ryan is making a documentary on his friend, Brett, about camping for the first time. However, once they begin camping, they discover that there is a mysterious figure that is hunting them.

I also realised this but if you click on the link and go to the Amazon preorder page it in fact leads you to the correct movie. Give it a shot, someone has screwed the listing up on blu-ray.com

[80sfanboy]

Trance: An art auctioneer who has become mixed up with a group of criminals partners with a hypnotherapist in order to recover a lost painting

Me and You: An introverted teenager tells his parents he is going on a ski trip, but instead spends his time alone in a basement.

Jungle Book 1 and 2 and as mentioned earlier Nosferatu (there is now a link)

[Badas]

Really debating this one.

[Badas]

Okay first attempt:

Want to do a Nordic release catch up. 80sfanboy tell me if I do something wrong.

Arne Dahl. 3 seasons available (I own 2)



Brutal. If you like Braquo get them on order. Swedish release purchased from Ammy UK.

Bron



Good family fun. (kidding) A must view. Ammy UK

Borgen



No action. All politics. Wasn't sure about this one. It was very fine. At the end I wanted more. Captivating. Ammy UK

Jackpot



Pure fun. Ammy UK

Jägarna 1 + 2



Very hard to get but sooooooooo worth it. Must get part 1 from Sweden (English Friendly). Part 2 from the UK (English friendly). I ended up getting this box set. Ordered part 2 from the UK and threw away part 2 from the box set. I wanted the nice slip cover. Very, Very good. So to be clear. This boxset has the first as English friendly however the second is not (labeled wrong on box). Must get part 2 from the UK.

Napapiirin sankarit



Just so funny. Buy from Finland.

Pussikaljaelokuva



So different. Stays with you long after finished. Very funny. Buy from Finland.

Rööperi



One of the best viewed this year. Think The Godfather Nordic style. Guy's OOP. Good luck. Well worth the hunt. Possible buy from Finland.

Vuosaari



Hard hitting. I cried. Drama so good. Buy from Finland.

[80sfanboy]

That's perfect! Some really good titles in there Everybody keeps rubbing it in about The Bridge, The Killing and Borgen. I can't afford them right now!

I think I will order Arne Dahl

[80sfanboy]

This will go nice with local release of Enter the Dragon



These movies are awesome. Kind of an educational Finding Nemo.



"42" IMDB 7.2 Synopsis: The life story of Jackie Robinson and his history-making signing with the Brooklyn Dodgers under the guidance of team executive Branch Rickey.

The Silence: IMDB 6.7 Synopsis 13-year-old Sinikka vanishes on a hot summer night. Her bicycle is found in the exact place where a girl was killed 23 years ago. The dramatic present forces those involved in the original case to face their past.



(THIS IS THE UK RELEASE) TV Series called: Orphan Black: Season One: IMDB 8.2 Synopsis: A streetwise hustler witnesses the suicide of a girl who looks just like her and falls headlong into a deadly mystery.

A Band Called Death: IMDB 8.0 Synopsis: A documentary on the 1970s punk trio Death, and their new-found popularity decades after they disbanded.



(ALSO AVAILABLE IN UK) The Iceman!!! Sounds excellent. IMDB 7.1 Synopsis The true story of Richard Kuklinski, the notorious contract killer and family man. When finally arrested in 1986, neither his wife nor daughters have any clue about his real profession

Behind the Candelabra: IMDB 7.1 Synopsis Based on the autobiographical novel, the tempestuous 6-year relationship between Liberace and his (much younger) lover, Scott Thorson, is recounted. Matt Damon and Michael Douglas

[MacEachaidh]

Huh.

Amazon's Criterion sale appears to have ended, but B&N has commenced a Buy-2-Get-1-Free sale on Blus and DVDs.

More expensive on individual titles than Amazon, but Criterions hover around $30 or so, so still close to $60 for 3 titles.

I love those sales. The Amazon one was obviously better per title but it's still good enough

I'm gonna go ahead and get The Killing when I come back from my trip. $100 is a little steep but it's 3 seasons and essentially 40 hours of entertainment which is a good deal to me :P

Never heard of The Bridge, looks interesting.

Both of them are a given. They are just sooooo good. You got the idea, The Killing is 38 hours long. So in a way it is inexpensive. I have 4 episodes to go.
