Re: Foreign Cinema in BLU (part 2)
Blu-ray.com review of Don't Look Now - a real pity about the machine noise, as this would have been the definitive version otherwise.

Two new English friendly editions of Kim Ji-Woon's (The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, I am the Devil, Tales of Two Sisters) fine action revenge film, Bittersweet Life. I wish Magnet were picking this film up seeing what they did with I am the Devil.
Bittersweet Life (First Pressing Limited Edition)
Bittersweet Life (Normal Edition)
These blu-ray releases are listed as region A, does anyone know Content Zone's track record? I'm curious if there is a chance these will be region-free. Thanks.

Not sure if this has been mentioned before (sorry if it has), but [REC] and [REC]2 are available from amazon.ca for $30.

I had no idea this existed and actually ordered the UK discs last week. The Canadian discs are a good alternative for those who don't want to mess around with Region B.
