That's a great release Hugh but heard of that one on optical, anyway enjoy the show. Michael that's a great release and again best wishes. I shall be showing the extended Cineavision version of Ben Hur. Basically the 3 parter with added scenes from the 400ft version with extended bits of end music. But a very nice version and been in the collection since the early 80's.

Hope everyone here had a good Easter, we had no Easter eggs and was intending to watch Ben Hur on Blu-ray but never did. The highlight was getting out of the city "at long last" for a 300 kilometer round trip to Arthur's Pass for a day trek in the Southern Alps. Its been twelve years since the last time, so with brilliant weather and testing my fitness it was a nice to get away from it all. I had been thinking about it for a while, the down side my wife had the flu and my kids although keen are tied up with there own children these days. In the end I managed to arm twist one of the young kids I used to work with to come along and split the driving, plus its not a good idea to venture up the mountains on your own. The highlight was after a full day hike was to paddle my feet in a ice cold mountain stream, thats what I call paradise I love the mountains always have and hope when the grandkids are older "thats if I am still around" to do it again.
