I went to check out the HMV in Meadowhall shopping centre and picked up Mandy which came out today exclusively at their store for Blu-ray (DVD is available at other retailers).

Along the way I decided to pick up some more films from the Asian Cinema catalogue since they were available under the 5 for £30 deal. There wasn't a huge range of Asian films under the deal which was annoying, but these films I picked up have been on my radar for a while.

The films chosen are the following:
  • Audition, 1999 Japanese film from director Takashi Miike. Released via Arrow Video.
  • I Saw the Devil, 2010 South Korean film from director Kim Jee-woon. Released via Optimum Releasing (Studio Canal).
  • Lady Vengeance, 2005 South Korean film from director Park Chan-wook. Released via Palisades Tartan Video.
  • Pulse, 2001 Japanese film from director Kiyoshi Kurosawa. Released via Arrow Video.
  • Thirst, 2009 South Korean film from director Park Chan-wook. Released via Palisades Tartan Video.
So far this is my overall collection of Asian Cinema films for those curious. I would love to expand on this so I think I'll try and acquire more throughout November. I'll even consider importing some of the Funimation releases since I don't know if they'll get a UK release (As the Gods Will, I Am A Hero).

Feel free to recommend me any films from Japan, Korea, and China. I have watched The Story of Yonosuke back in 2014 so I would love to own that film also.

Check out my Asian Cinema collection on my blu-ray.com account. Link under my user or direct link her, Asian Cinema starts on page 2. I got mostly HK/Chinese films, but also a few Japanese.
Feel free to ask any questions 😄
Can you recommend the Park-chan films? - I’ve been wanting to get them but kinda on the fence, if they’re anything for me or not.

Regarding the Park Chan-wook films, I've so far only seen Oldboy and The Handmaiden - both of which I highly recommend checking out as they are surprisingly excellent (The Handmaiden is also available on Amazon Prime video if you have that).

Reminded me that I still need to pick up the Project A box set from Eureka. Their Police Story one sold out fairly quickly.
