Barely mainstream but I picked up:

THE MILL & THE CROSS on Blu-ray.

HMV here in Canada actually had it WAY cheaper than amazon.ca and even two bucks cheaper than amazon.com so I couldn't help myself.

V For Vendetta 9/10

Very good flick.

^^^ You should read the source comic.  Talk about deeply, deeply complex...  The use of the letter "V" as the character's name, the roman numeral, a visual symbol and the character V's use of it as the initial letter in sequences where he uses alliteration will blow your mind.

Alan Moore is a hell of a writer.  A bit of a bitchy prima donna, but the dude's stuff is almost impossibly rich.

I haven't been into comics for a few years now, but I've been wanting to get back into them. If I decide to take a trip to a comic book store in the cities (maybe this summer with a buddy of mine), I'll look for V For Vendetta. You've grabbed my attention.

...really want to get into The Walking Dead comics as well, I've never read any of them.

Dead Presidents : half war movie and half heist movie, I have always liked this one and don't hear much about it.

Roadracers : a Robert Rodriguez film I have never seen, he made this in between El Mariachi andrew Desperado. And apparently this is the first time it's been released on dvd and Blu ray.
