Anyone buying Gremlins on blu-ray?
Hi,
Is anyone else buying "gremlins" on blu-ray on the 19th? I'm really looking forward to this.

Re: Anyone buying Gremlins on blu-ray?
I used to love that film, I wouldn't like to guess at how many times I've seen it. First saw it in 1985 I think, I was 5 years old and I can remember being **** scared when I had to go to bed, made sure I checked under the bed and in the cupboards for gremlins... lol..I don't buy Blu-ray but I'll definitely rent it..Hope the PQ is good and it has some decent extras

Re: Anyone buying Gremlins on blu-ray?
Got my order in (comes out a few days before my birthday), but I'm not hopeful due to the postal strikes. Having said that, I heard rumours Amazon might be dropping RM for another carrier so you never know.

According to the news Amazon have said they have an alternative courier in case of a strike.

Re: Anyone buying Gremlins on blu-ray?
Just got my US copy today and transfer is bit grainy but still good for an old film.

Not a good review on blu-ray.com (video 2.5/5): Blu-ray.com - Gremlins Blu-ray Review

I'd rather trust my own eyes than that lot.

Watching the US version at the moment and this isn't going to win any awards for AV but its still the best its ever looked on home media.

Re: Anyone buying Gremlins on blu-ray?
I don't really consider DVDBeaver to be a review site, just a glorified screencap site (he went way overboard with his Gladiator praise). HDD is okay. Best thing to do is read a wide variety of sites and find those where the reviewers have similar tastes to yours.

Re: Anyone buying Gremlins on blu-ray?
I don't trust any review site, even this one. Very few individuals would sway my decisions either, but those that do post on this site. I won't name names, but none of them have Dark City or Gladiator in their collection...

Re: Anyone buying Gremlins on blu-ray?
I got my order in at Amazon when it first appeared and it looks like they are going to honour the £9.98 price which apparently was a mistake

Re: Anyone buying Gremlins on blu-ray?
Odd are it'll be the same as the US release like most Warner catalogue titles.

Re: Anyone buying Gremlins on blu-ray?
No sign of movement on mine at Amazon. Still, for £9.69 I'm happy to wait a little bit longer for it.

Re: Anyone buying Gremlins on blu-ray?
Mine has shipped from HMV, so it should get here before the postal strike kicks in again.

Re: Anyone buying Gremlins on blu-ray?
Anybody had any joy from amazon yet?
I orderd this and Heat in one order when they were first listed at under a tenner.
I also went for the free postage so will they be sent together once Heat is released?
