My favourite Asian DVD retailer DDDHouse currently having a Blu-Ray sale. At the moment you can pick the Blu-Ray releases of the three Bruce Lee classics The Big Boss (Wei Lo, 1971), Fist of Fury (Wei Lo, 1972) and The Way of the Dragon (Bruce Lee, 1972). Considering their age and the reputation that the Hong Kong film industry has for preserving films they all look very strong, particularly The Big Boss which has a high level of detail. With shipping, you can order each title for under £9 delivered; it is cheaper to order all three at the same time. Be aware that all of these Blu-Ray discs are Region A encoded. Reviews, containing screenshots, for each of the Blu-Ray discs can found over at DVD Beaver. Don't be tempted by the cheap prices for the Blu-Ray releases of Jackie Chan's excellent Police Story series. The discs are nothing more than upconverts of the Fortune Star DVD releases.
Each trailer gets better and better.
Oliver Stone's Platoon has finally been released on DVD but is currently only available in Hong Kong. My copy arrived from DDDHouse, the best online Asian DVD retailer, yesterday and despite the video being MPEG-2 encoded the picture quality is very nice indeed.

I have just finished watching season three of Breaking Bad and firmly believe that it is the best television show currently being aired. The show focuses on high school chemistry teacher Walter White (Bryan Cranston) who upon learning that he has lung cancer decides to 'break bad' and cook crystal methamphetamine with a former student in order to provide money for his struggling family. The show has similar production values to AMC's excellent Mad Men and is brilliantly written, lensed and acted. I am not quite sure I have ever felt such unease when watching a television show; it is never clear what could happen next and places the viewer firmly on the edge of the seat. It is also extremely funny and also touching. Cranston's performance is currently unmatched on American television and the supporting cast is equally as strong. The episode 'Fly', directed by Rian Johnson, director of the film noir inspired Brick (2005), was a particular stand-out for me. Season three has ended on an unsurprisingly tense cliffhanger. I am not looking forward to waiting eight months for the next episode to air in the US. At least season three of True Blood has now started and will help make the wait more bearable.
