Rurouni Kenshin 3: The Legend Ends, HONG KONG RELEASE WITH ENGLISH SUBS!


Finally, both Blu-ray and DVD with English subtitles! Pre-orders for February, 26th.

RUROUNI KENSHIN: THE LEGEND ENDS (HK VERSION)
In the cliffhanger-ending of the second movie, Kyoto Inferno, we saw Kenshin Himura reunited with his master who subsequently hides him from bad guy Shishio's henchmen.
As is custom in all martial arts movies, our hero needs to learn a final technique, gain insight into his personality and generally level up in order to stand a chance against his opponents. Once we get past the training part, it is time for Kenshin to gather his friends and confront the villains once and for all.
The whole series culminates into one big final showdown, with all the champions on both sides lining up to duel each other to the death. As it was the case with the first two movies, the choreography of these fight scenes is remarkable, especially considering that most of the cast has no martial arts background.Frantic and with some acrobatics thrown in for good measure, the action is quick paced but still easy to follow.
You can finally get your copy with English subs and Cantonese audio on the Hong Kong blu-ray (Region A) or Hong Kong DVD (Region Code 3).
Pre-orders for February, 26th.

TV Box Sets: Game Of Thrones, True Blood & More!


Kick off the year of the goat with some addicting box sets of both long-running and new TV shows. Bah, bah, binge watching!


GAME OF THRONES: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON [BOX SET]
Relive the first season of Game of Thrones, that took the world by storm, mesmerized us, shocked us, made us swear that we will read the books before we watch the next season, and yet this is just the beginning of what might be the most popular TV show of our time.
With this five-disc box set featuring tons of extras plus a digital copy and UltraViolet, you are able to watch every episode anywhere in the world without the physical copy or share them with up to five family members and friends.
Pre-orders for the release date of April 7th.

Game of Thrones: The Complete First Season (Boxset) US  US$ 77.99 pre


SONS OF ANARCHY: COMPLETE SERIES - GIFT SET
The complete motorcycle saga in one gift set! All 7 seasons, that's 92 episodes, of biker mayhem and a father struggling to find balance in a life, torn between his obligations towards both his “families”. That might just be enough SOA to bridge the time until (hopefully) the planned prequel show arrives.
Pre-orders for the release date of March 17th.



Sons of Anarchy: Complete Series - Giftset US  US$ 239.99 pre


TURN: WASHINGTON'S SPIES – THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON
“Turn” is an all new series about a New York farmer and his childhood friends who become spies in order to fight against the British Crown during Americas struggle for independence.

Lavish set pieces and an eye for details brings 17th century Paris alive like few other productions to date plus sporting excellent performances (especially by “Doctor Who” Peter Capaldi as Cardinal Richelieu).
Pre-order for the release date of April 21st.

The Musketeers: Season Two US  US$ 42.99 pre


TRUE BLOOD: THE COMPLETE SIXTH SEASON
The penultimate season to what was the first “adult” vampire show that spawned a whole bunch of successors. Meet Rutger Hauer as Niall Brigant and hear him utter the immortal words “I'm your f***ing faerie grandfather!” wherever you want, because this box set has the digital copy and UltraViolet.
Revisit super-power-Bill and watch Sookie having a fling with yet another supernatural guy on 4 Blu-ray disks with tons of extras and commentary tracks and an overall running time of 600 minutes!

Dystopian Sci-Fi with Equilibrium!


If you missed this one, here's your chance to catch up with a hidden gem of dystopian sci-fi movies.
Pre-orders for the release date of April 7th.

EQUILIBRIUM
Equilibrium is set in the post World War III future of 2072, in which emotions are suppressed and art is forbidden. To enforce these harsh sanctions, the totalitarian city state of Libria employs “Grammaton Clerics”, highly trained law enforcers that use “gun kata”, a combination of martial art and firearms.
Christian Bale is the high-ranking Cleric John Preston, who unquestioningly follows orders together with his partner Errol Patridge, played by Sean Bean. But as it always happens in sci-fi movies about heroes being on the wrong side, events occur that make Preston doubt the nature of the regime.
If you know your way around dystopian fiction, you will recognize a sort of “best of” classic sources: part 1984, some ideas from Brave New World, a bit of Fahrenheit 461, hints of Metropolis and quite obvious references to Nazi symbolism and architecture (some scenes were shot in actual Third Reich-buildings in Berlin).
The movie may not be reinventing the genre, but it mixes existing features in a way that feels fresh and entertaining. Except that you can probably already guess what happens to Sean Bean.

Equilibrium [Blu-ray+Digital HD] US  US$ 14.99 pre
