Canada Alliance Titles Without Extras/menu?

As a resident of the USA, I was thrilled to find out that two of my favorite movies are available on blu-ray from Canada. I recently ordered and received The Butterfly Effect and Good Will Hunting through Amazon Canada. The picture quality is good and they have good lossless sound tracks. But I noticed something that is really lame about these Canadian Alliance releases:

These 2 titles (and I presume there are others) do not have any extras or subtitles. My regular DVD version of The Butterfly Effect contained alternative endings, but this bluray only had one. Although I was dissapponted, here's what I really don't like about these blu-rays:

There is no master menu!

When you load the disk and press play, you are never greeted with any master screen. Now here's where it starts to suck even more. When you're watching an American Bluray, you can bring up the pop-up menu to show things like "MAIN MENU", "SCENES" or "SETUP/LANGUAGE " etc. Well the only thing that appears on the screeen when you're watching The Butterfly Effect or Good Will Hunting is the option to select the audio soundtrack. That is it! Nothing else!

There's absolutely no option to directly select specific chapters or scenes! You have to use the FF or RW buttons on your remote to skip forwards or backwards throughout the movie! I mean c'mon! Even regular DVD's allow you to see a list of chapters. Have any of you bought any of these Canadian Alliance releases? I must say this is a very poor way to release a blu-ray movie. For such big Hollywood productions, I would have expected these blu-ray movies to have decent menu navigation and at least some extras.
