I have no idea where to find the blu-ray reviews from most recent to oldest! If I go to reviews and press "latest" I think those are the most recent reviews, but I can't find Videodrome, Make out with Violence (or whatever its called) or any of the other most recent reviews that people often link to on here!

Their reviews are great and insightful, but I just can't figure out how to navigate the site! Feels like everytime I press something, a new page pops up, or I'm directed to another page..

Really? It's not complicated at all.

All you have to do is scroll down and find the Latest reviews are all in the left-hand column. All of the other columns are just new releases and upcoming releases with links to Amazon. The latest blu-ray reviews come first, then the latest DVD reviews are in the same left-hand column about halfway down the page. All of the titles are direct links to their reviews. If you go over there right now you'll find "Peeping Tom" at the top of the Latest reviews. To see the review just click on the title of the film. "Cronos" is listed six titles down from "Peeping Tom." It's really not difficult.

To be able to search the reviews alphabetically just click on the white REVIEWS link under the Google search bar at the top of the page under the heading. Clicking on the REVIEWS link will take you to this page, which is self-explanatory. To find "Cronos" you would simply click on the letter 'C' and then scroll down until you come to "Cronos" alphabetically.

I agree. I can't wait to watch this. I hope to see Scanners get the Blu treatment in the near future. I do enjoy my Cronnenberg.

Just finished watching this tonight and it looks very good in HD!
there is deffo detail there but I have not seen this on DVD so cannot say how much of an improvement it is. Doubt it will look this good on dvd though.

Packaging is cool too.

Order from Axel Music. You'll almost always get new releases early if you're willing to pay their prices.

Yup thats where I got it from but im in the UK so their prices are not so bad. It was cheaper then Amazon US and plus I wont get charged by customs from Axel so I always use them for US imports over £18.

bojtel123 · 12-01-2010, 12:20 PM

Yeah Axelmusic is awsome, i got Videodrome last week, it took 2 weekdays fron Toronto to Stockholm

Ite · 12-01-2010, 08:16 PM

Damn i'm jealous guys.

Reno McCoy · 12-01-2010, 08:21 PM

Looking forward to this release. I've never seen the film, but several friends can't say enough about it.

I'll be sure to save one of my Ultimate Electronics BOGO coupons for this and Cronos.

If they can, Criterion will always provide the soundtrack is it was originally presented for the film. So, there's nothing to cry about here, I'm afraid.
