This sounds like a very interesting documentary that I will be sure to check out. There have been a lot of flicks that have come out about the Iraq conflict, so if you are looking another one check this out. For the rest of you sitting on the fence this movie hasn’t scored too high on IMDB or RT so you might want to take that into consideration before you download this.

Quality: Everything looks great for a DVDRi.

I know I have been waiting all my life for this movie! Mega Shark Versus Giant Octopus sounds like all kinds of awesome. I saw the trailer on YouTube a few weeks ago and was completly dumbfounded by everything about this movie. I don’t know why someone wanted to make this, but I know this movie is going to win every Oscar ever for the rest of time! I am going to check this one out just for the ridiculous plot alone.

Quality: Looks and sounds standard for any DVDR. The audio is clear and the video looks great.

DoR2 have released the DVDR of A Very Short Life, also known as “Duen chaam dik sung ming”. Considering its a DVDR with a size of 4.27GB, quality is no real question. It is superb judging from the sample. I have also included subtitles for your convenience.

Quality: Audio and Video quality are great, refer to screenshots for more information.

Synopsis: Category-III criminal drama A Very Short Life tackles the subject of domestic violence, particularly child abuse and sexual molestation which are commonly found in Hong Kong’s newspaper headlines but rarely represented on the cinema screen. The controversial film, written and directed by Dennis Law (Fatal Move), draws from true events to tell a poignant tale of how violence begets more violence at home. Former child actress Leila Tong sheds her girl-next-door image to play a mom-next-door who mercilessly beat her own child to death, opposite star actress Maggie Shiu’s policewoman who abuses her authority to give vent to her pent-up frustration towards an unjust society

During the course of the massacre, he hideously disfigures overeager gangster Billy Russoti (Dominic West) and murders a mafia lackey who turns out to be an undercover FBI agent.

Holy crap!! The movie of the year has been released on DVDR! Although I’m sure a lot of you will disagree with that, but it sure is a big release, the retail DVD isn’t even due out til the 9th of December. I can’t wait to watch this again in great quality, although I’m waiting for the Blu-Ray. Enjoy!

Quality: Excellent quality, which is to be expected from a retail ripped DVDR of course. Some of you may want to wait for the NTSC version as this is PAL but in my opinion this is fine.

Synopsis: With just one year having passed after taking out Ra’s Al Ghul’s plan to have Gotham eliminated and the mysterious disappearance of Dr. Jonathan Crane AKA the Scarecrow, and after the city was nearly plundered with his toxins, Bruce Wayne and his vigilante alter-ego the Batman, continue the seemingly endless effort to bring order to Gotham, with the help of Lt. James Gordon and newly appointed District Attorney Harvey Dent. But a new threat has now emerged into the streets. The Dark Knight faces a rising psychopathic criminal called The Joker, whose eerie grin, laughter, and inhuman morality makes him as dangerous than what he has yet to unleash. It becomes an agenda to Batman to stop the mysterious Joker at all costs, knowing that both of them are in an opposite line. One has no method at all and seeks to see the world plunge into the fire he has yet to light. One represents the symbol of hope and uses his own shadow to bring the peace and order he has yet to accomplish doing.

This movie was just released a little bit ago. I have not heard much about it, but judging from the look of film and cast I believe this is something I would want to watch. Enjoy friends!

EDIT: Taken.DVDRip.XviD-ALLiANCE

Quality: DVDR. Should be pretty good audio and video. Check sample and you can judge for yourself. I personally would wait ’till the XviD release hits. Should not be too much longer. Thanks to ALLiANCE.

Synopsis: Bryan is a divorced, former US intelligence agent whose 17-year-old daughter Kim lives with his ex-wife Lenore (Famke Janssen) and her new husband Stuart. The nature and dispositions of the major characters are established early in the film: Kim is a happy, affectionate girl who loves horses and has aspirations of being a singer, while her mother maintains a frosty, somewhat antagonistic demeanour towards her ex-husband. Bryan’s skill and quick-thinking are demonstrated when he agrees to escort a pop diva—the diva is attacked, but Bryan efficiently disables a knife-wielding assailant and gets her safely out of danger. Thankful, the diva expresses some interest in Bryan’s daughter and furnishes him with some contacts to get Kim’s career started.

So, each week we are going to put together a post listing all the English DVDR releases from the previous week, not including any multi or internal releases.

Finally we get DVD quality of this movie, which I’m sure you all know of from the title. A while back there was a VHS screener which did not do this movie justice at all.

Update: The.Incredible.Hulk.DVDRip.XviD-DoNE

Quality: Great quality as usual from a DVDR source, better than xvid which has not even pred yet. Unless you have to save bandwidth or you’re waiting for even better quality, then you should definately get this.

Synopsis: “The Incredible Hulk” kicks off an all-new, explosive and action-packed epic of one of the most popular superheroes of all time. In this new beginning, scientist Bruce Banner (Edward Norton) desperately hunts for a cure to the gamma radiation that poisoned his cells and unleashes the unbridled force of rage within him: The Hulk.

Living in the shadows–cut off from a life he knew and the woman he loves, Betty Ross (Liv Tyler)–Banner struggles to avoid the obsessive pursuit of his nemesis, General Thunderbolt Ross (William Hurt), and the military machinery that seeks to capture him and brutally exploit his power.

As all three grapple with the secrets that led to The Hulk’s creation, they are confronted with a monstrous new adversary known as The Abomination (Tim Roth), whose destructive strength exceeds even The Hulk’s own. And on June 13, 2008, one scientist must make an agonizing final choice: accept a peaceful life as Bruce Banner or find heroism in the creature he holds inside–The Incredible Hulk.
