DrDre, I think you're very close to having the colours and image dynamics spot on here, at least to my eyes. Contrast and brightness is perfectly fine to me, you've matched the blu-ray image dynamics there and I think thats the right call. In terms of colour though, your regrade does feel a little cold. The fleshtones are also too red IMHO.
I'd suggest that in future you post full size 1080p screencaps, it would make it a lot easier to assess the colours and image dynamics and give feedback.
Here are screencap comparisons for all your latest screencaps between your regraded shots and the same shots with adjustments I would make to remove the slightly cold feeling and make the fleshtones more natural looking, at least to me:

Although I like your screenshots, the desert scenes are more orange, as they are on the bluray, where the 35 mm frames show it should be more yellow.
Sadly, tinypic does not seem to support 1080p, so I will also post some screenshot comparisons. The video sample will be 1080p though.
