Our morning post about group mVs created hundreds of unusually emotional comments and I even received a nasty email from mVs itself threatening us with some actions (huh?). The proud sceners were really mad after people accused them of stealing releases from p2p sources. All I did was a polite reply linking to this older post, which was also nuked for a stolen p2p source. And now, few hours later, everything becomes even more clear: a Russian website Interfilm.ru released their telesync of Prince Caspian and group iAPULA pred the very same release on the scene as their own. That’s also the reason why the sample from mVs didn’t have any audio – they simply didn’t have anything besides the Russian one. I’d also like to point out, that Interfilm tracker is used by majority of scene groups as a source for R5 rips, they just replace Russian audio with the English one. So the connection between p2p and the scene (which tries so hard to hate all p2p users) is really tight and this latest case just proves that the scene couldn’t really work that good without all people using torrents and other filesharing applications. It’s a sad news for those of you with a real scene heart, but as you can see, there’s no border at all and the final downloader is the one who benefits from it most.

Finally, a few words about this release: it’s a very decent 2 CD telesync with great image but the audio is Russian so it’s quite useless for most of you. It would be fine to see the “Russian” tag in the release name instead of READNFO – I’m pretty sure many users will be really pissed when they download this and realize it’s not English…

A year after their first adventure in Narnia, Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy are pulled back in by Susan’s magic horn. They find that hundreds of years have passed, and Narnia is now ruled by the bloodthirsty General Miraz, uncle to the true heir, Prince Caspian, now in exile. Now the children must find Caspian and help him depose Miraz…but how will they get home after it’s done?

THE WATER HORSE: LEGEND OF THE DEEP is set in Scotland during World War II, and focuses on Angus (Alex Etel), a young boy who discovers an unusual egg at Loch Ness. When the egg hatches to reveal a dinosaur-like creature, Angus finds that he has a unique pet–a mythical “water horse,” which he names Crusoe. Complicating matters are Crusoe’s fast growth rate and soldiers stationed near the lake, factors that make it very tricky to keep the friendly beastie a secret.

Heeey, very nice! I’ve been looking forward to a decent quality version of this film and finally it is here. R5 is the quality barrier for most of us when it comes to new releases, so this one will be downloaded by many. Stallone both directs and stars in this action packed flick. Watch the interview with him in the Film 2008 with Jonathan Ross rls posted by me earlier.

Quality: Bald supply a very nice quality R5 on 1 CD. 978kb/s video bitrate and 130kb/s audio bitrate. The audio is a direct source from the DVD as well which is great news. Some Pre databases show this as nuked for stolen p2p workprint but it seems unlikely if you compare the quality. QUALITY IS GREAT SO WHO GIVES A SHIT ANYWAYS!

In this latest Rambo installment, John Rambo has retreated to a simple life in a rural Thai village near the Burmese border, capturing snakes for local entertainers, and transporting roamers in his old PT boat. Following repeated pleas, Rambo helps ferry a group of Christian aid workers into war-torn Burma, where the local Karen villagers are regularly tortured and massacred by Major Tint’s sadistic soldiers. The humanitarian mission is going well, until the village is attacked and the missionaries are kidnapped, and Rambo is once again asked to transport – but this time a group of mercenaries, assembled by the missionaries’ minister on a deadly rescue mission. This time he doesn’t stay behind.
