Slow West (2015)

Viewed On: January 1st, 2016
Verdict: 8.0/10
Replay Value? 7.5/10
Worth Buying? Yes
How's The Disc: Unfortunately, this disc suffers from the PAL speed-up and is presented in 1080/50i... And barely any extras. I should have shopped around for a better version.

Chaplin (1992)

Viewed On: January 8th, 2016
Verdict: 8.7/10
Replay Value? 8.0/10
Worth Buying? Yes
How's The Disc: Alas, this Blu-ray edition leaves a lot to be desired. Video quality is extremely mediocre, the sound mix is decent but unspectacular (why 2.0?), and the extras all appear in a little box in the corner of the TV screen due to improper authoring. Sheesh. So yes, it's a bit rough. It needs to be remastered, and badly.

Verdict: 6.2/10
Replay Value? 7.0/10

Viewed On: June 13th, 2016
Verdict: 7.5/10
Replay Value? 9.5/10
Worth Buying? Yes
How's The Disc: No extras, but a very reasonable high def presentation.

I do a lot of impulse buying, and not all of it involves motion pictures or TV shows that I have seen. On the contrary, blind buying movies & shows is a huge part of my collection, for a variety of reasons. Usually it comes down to the reliability of a disc over a download (downloading a whole TV show can take a month's data allowance), but it can also be a matter of "That's cheap and apparently it's good, so I'll take it" or "I really wanna see that movie...yeah whatever I'll buy."

These are the movies & TV shows I've blind bought and plan to watch in the future. I'll keep this list updated for my own personal reference, and as a curiosity for anyone.
