Kingdom of Heaven
I ordered the R1 4-disc director's cut edition of Kingdom of Heaven from DVD Pacific.This is, in fact, the first DVD I've actually bought since the middle of April, when I ordered the Australian release of The New York Ripper. Since then, I've been surviving on my review copies of the three Enzo G. Castellari poliziotteschi releases, but now that they're out of the way, I feel I could do with picking up something new. I wasn't particularly enthused by the theatrical cut of Kingdom of Heaven (I watched my parents' copy of the 2-disc DVD release), but I've read a number of reviews claiming that the directors' cut, which adds around an hour's worth of new material, transforms it into a completely different film and elevates it to a new level. In any event, I'm a fan of Ridley Scott's visual style and outrageously in-depth bonus materials, so I'll probably get a kick out of this even if I don't end up thinking the new cut is much better than the previous one.

Hey Michael,
I'm also thinking of ordering this Ridley Scott epic. However, I wondered if you had any knowledge of this region 1 version being a better package then the soon to be released region 2?
I'm thinking of also ordering a copy for a friend but they have yet to go multi-region.
Cheers

To be honest I'm not sure whether or not this is any different from the upcoming UK release (I didn't know there WAS one). I just went for the US version because it's available now and would probably work out cheaper for me anyway from DVD Pacific.
