PSU's weekly pick(s):
 

Given that it's Halloween this week, we suggest picking up Zombie romp 'The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue.' Alternatively, those of you with kids may want to plump for 'Tinkerbell and the Lost Treasure,' while music lovers can't go wrong with Steve Vai's latest effort, 'Where the Wild Things Are.' Still, when it comes to fun for all the family, you'd be hard pressed to find a better option than the utterly hilarious 'Ice Age Triple Pack.'

     Night of the Creeps!  I've waited for this movie for YEARS!  Living Dead at Manchester Morgue is also completely sweet.  You've got to look out for those experimental agricultural machines!

    to expensive. I'll buy it when its $14.99 per bluray because what they have now is outrageous.

    @5

    Wat?

    Have you not downloaded HD movies, trailers in MP4 format on to your PS3?

    Avi format looks terrible on the PS3 :S

    @11

     We all know the format of choice for HD is MKV.

    is Stargate 15th anniversary a new transfer? the one I got in not very satisfying

    @4 I wholeheartedly agree..the huge PSU logos are just such a huge turn off. Also can't the staff make the covers any bigger?

    PSU needs to look at professional sites such as Slashfilm or IGN to see how they layout their articles. IMO, this was just poorly layed out.

    • 3:48pm GMT - October 27th, 2009

     @4 ABSOLUTELY agree

     

    Maybe tone the size of the logo down a TINY bit next time? Taking up half the image isn't really necessary.

    @12 not necessarily, use mkv2vob and you have yourself a .mpg or .mp4 with the EXACT same high quality as an mkv since there is no conversion involved, the video is muxed and playable on a ps3

    So pretty much Stargate and Monty Python are the only worthwhile ones.

     Today is a SWEET day to be a horror fan!  Living Dead at Manchester Morgue AND Night of the Creeps, got them both this evening!  If you like zombies, horror, or things that are great, you must watch these films.
