"Ichi", on the other hand, I find to be among Miike's worst, coming off - at best - as an ungenerous parody of Miike's better yakuza films.
BTW, what ever happened to the blu-ray release of "The Bird People of China"? Delayed or cancelled?

That's the main reason I won't be picking this up on BD. I'll wait and see if they use a new transfer. For all we know, the DVD could have been struck from an HD transfer and they could be using that same transfer for the BD.

The Dutch release blows away the U.S. release in many aspects. Look here:

Has anyone found reviews for the upcoming BD?

There's no reviews because it's not coming out tomorrow. Media Blasters is well known for delaying their releases.

Yeah... Miike's "The Bird People of China" was supposed to come out months ago. Release date came and went, and totally without comment. I have no idea if it's delayed, cancelled or what.

Just checked Amazon and the release date has been shifted to October 20th. Likely a smart move to pair release dates with Shout's Audition Blu-ray.

I already have the original Tokyo Shock release as well as the Dutch SE, but I really want this BD version. Tired of waiting for it.
