    Hi Ariel, it started raining the day after the video and hasn’t stopped since 😬 but apparently we are due a heat wave (thank goodness) sorry to hear it’s been gloomy where you are. HMV have now branched out into Canada, Japan and Belgium so it’s going from strength to strength 👍 maybe one day they will set up in America. Take care Ariel 👍😃👍

    Nice to see Evolution finally getting a UK Blu-ray ( although I do have the German Steelbook so happy with that ). Aliens I did pick up ( but questioning whether I will prefer just the film on Blu-ray - does it work with a crisp picture ? - I will find out ! Also I did get ( yet to arrive ) Vertical Limit from 88 films. 👍 Always nice to see a little In another Forbidden Planet. 👍.

    Hi Alan. A gorgeous sunny day. Lots of great releases, particularly those Ealing ones and I’d be interested to see The Beast in the Cellar. I have the Bogart ones in indicator’s Columbia Noir 5 set. Loved The Holdovers. Weirdly I’ve never felt inclined to watch Evolution but there is (or was) a copy in my local thrift store so maybe I’ll pick it up

    Lots of interesting titles out this week, I picked up The Holdovers, Shock Waves, The Three Musketeers Milady (the first movie was great, amazing action scenes and a fantastic cast so looking forward to watching the sequel) and Eureka’s Masters of Cinema, The Cat and the Canary (HMV don’t seem to stock Eureka titles). Those Ealing comedy 4K’s look nice, but I already have them on Blu Ray.

    Hi Sir Alan, 88 Films putting out some great releases, say what you want to say about the quality of films but they are value for money in my opinion & not overpriced unlike some of the other labels, "Gator" one of the wanted list, not a great cover for the "Aliens" 4K release but nevertheless a essential purchase & long awaited. Plenty of Humphrey Bogart movies on releases, thanks for sharing Alan, great stuff as always.

    Seems amazing it's a whole year since we all met in Brigton for Jamie Powell's birthday... what a collection of KZreadrs and other great people were there that day! There look like a lot of interesting movies there; I picked up *Inspector Wears Skirts 3* and *Inspector Wears Skirts 4* partly because they look fun , partly because elsewhere in the world there really hard to find and a lot because I like _Cythia Rothrock_ movie and, even though she was only in the first, obviously once I had that one I had to get them all 🤣. Oddly, sort of, 1,2 and 4 have an English dub but 3 doesn't... I think it's because 3 has never been released on physical before (certainly not in English speaking countries) so there was never a need for it and 88 Films couldn't afford to pay for a new one from scratch. *Shock Waves* definitely looks like one for that 'silly' part of my collection, with *Surf Nazis Must Die* etc. Only a 12 so not too heavy on the zombie threat I guess. I adore *Kind Hearts & Coronets* but will probably stick with my 70th Anniversay Blu-ray by the same distributor. I haven't got *The Lavendar Hill Mob* though so that's reminded me I want it... though the _Vintage Classics_ Blu-ray is a quarter of the price which is a ridiculous gap! I never picked up the *D'Artagnan* release so I'm intending to get the double pack at a fair price; I dare say you'd want them in separate cases 😉If I didn't have the German steelbook of *Evolution* I'd definitely be getting the 88 Films release. Plenty of _Bogart_ for me to grab as time passes. Great video as alwas, Alan... I wonder what your other 5 are... 😀👍

Ooh yeah the price tag on The Lavender Hill Mob took me by surprise a little 🤑 I do have the first of the Three Musketeers films so I’ll have to pick up that sequel at some point 🤔….if you want to know what five titles I ordered in, check out the comments I’ve replied too as I have mentioned them in there 🫣 cheers mate, take care👍😃👍
