Iron Man

Woohoo! Another steelbook purchase! The first movie of the summer is now on DVD. Good thing I was able to buy Iron Man in a nice 2-disc steelbook casing. I have seen the movie a couple of times, and it never gets tiring, since Robert Downey, Jr. accurately portrays the superhero with such humour and depth. The DVD also includes deleted scenes, one of them in which Tony Stark hosts a party in Dubai. The DVD also a long making-of documentary on the movie making process. This is one of the DVDs I'll be watching over and over again.

Transformers

So okay, it goes like this: I have been waiting forever for the Transformers DVD to be released here in Dubai. The DVD was released months ago in the Philippines and in the US... making me wanting this thing even more. I really wanted the steelbook casing, but as I'm not familiar (yet) with other online stores that cater to collectors like me, I decided I'd just settle for the 2-disc edition - that was in October. November came and there was still no sign of the DVD in stores. So I decided to order from Amazon. Learning that standard international shipping will about 4-6 weeks, I agreed to wait thinking that at least I'll have the DVD. Well, it's mid-December and my package hasn't arrived yet. THEN when I was browsing videos stores yesterday - I found it... the steelbook version of the Transformers movie on DVD! I hurriedly bought myself a copy and drooled over the wonders of the amazing casing. Well, until my Region 1 DVD arrives, this is the copy I'll play over and over on my DVD player. Autobots, roll out!

300

I want this DVD! It's a 2-disc edition in a steelbook case. Too bad they're only releasing it in Region 3. I wish I was back in the Philippines. Now I only have to settle with standard Amaray cases... Grrr! For anyone who cares about me... Help me get this DVD! :-)

300 stars Gerald Butler and directed by Zack Snyder. And actually its one of my favorite films of the year.
