Well here we are again with some new additions to the collection. Above is the Kimchidvd exclusve steelbook edition of Tangled featuring a lenticular slipcover. It is very difficult to photograph, but is certainly much nicer in person! It also came with a storybook (In English), some photocards and a sticker sheet. A very nice set indeed. Next up we have some Zavvi releases:
I have held off buying Starship Troopers on Blu-ray, but then I jumped when this was announced. Haven't watched the disc yet, but it is a nice steelbook.
Oblivion was a bit of a miss for me, but I absolutely loved the score by M83 and bought this simply to get the isolated score in DTS surround sound! Basically if you treat the film as a music video it works very well ;)
Again, The Little Mermaid is not one of my favourites, but I do really like this artwork. I am a bit pissed though that I wasn't able to secure copies of Dumbo or Lady & The Tramp, two films I would much rather own... so this may get traded.
Byzantium was a blind buy, but I really enjoyed it and the stunning visuals look fantastic on this Blu-ray. I am actually not a fan of the artwork they have used on the back cover, but that front cover almost makes me cry admiring its beauty :P
Double dip time, Close Encounters is missing the second disc and booklet from the original release, so really I just bought it for the steelbook. I note it has now sold out.
and last, but not least. I did enjoy Django, but I wasn't going to own it. I picked this up for $12 and as it came with the soundtrack I thought that was quite a good deal :)
I have more goodies on the way including the new 50th Commemorative JFK release from Warner so will be posting pics of that when it arrives, I have also ordered both versions of the Kimchidvd release of A Tale of Two Sisters so I am looking forward to those too!!!

Byzantium was amongst my favorite films this last year. I have been eyeing of that steelbook considerably. It is az shame that in Australia it essentially had a non release.
It is certainly high up on my list of favorites for the year too! The steelbook is really nice! Another of my favourites of the year is Violet & Daisy also starring Saoirse Ronan. That film has been on the shelf for 2 years, but finally got released this month on Blu-ray in the States and is well worth checking out!
