The Proposition is a great movie, I am going to go buy the Steelbook once I get out of class.

You should be thrilled with The Proposition as a blind buy. Great film!

Can someone help me out as to what "Immortal" this is? (Director, actors, whatever...) There's several recent movies with that title in IMDB.

Gracias!

I didn't even know there was a Proposition steelbook. I already own the regular edition, but I highly recommend anyone that doesn't to buy this. $10 is a steal.

I think I recall reading that this would be available in a steelbook.

From: Around and about...

Proposition was OK; Immortal was fraking WEIRD. Interesting mix of live-action and CGI enhancement that gives it a weird look, but it's closer to a video game than a movie. YMMV as far as enjoyment. I paid $5 for regular PPVs of these and that was fine for my purposes.

Thanks for the heads up on this... I love The Proposition and this is the first DVD that I've "upgraded" for the packaging (how sad am I). I can dump the other but this is a really, really sweet looking steelbook. Much nicer cover art on the front and the disc (same as cover). Also has a transparent inside cover. The disc contents are the same.

DVD Spot incorrectly lists the OAR as 1.85:1 but it is not. I'll submit a correction tomorrow.

Blind buy = no brainer. Hope you enjoy it!
