    Anchor Bay to release 2 rarely-seen George Romero films

    Anchor Bay Entertainment have announced that they will be releasing a 2-disc set of George Romero's early 1970s films, Season of the Witch (aka Jack's Wife) and the "lost" There's Always Vanilla. Romero doesn't really think much of either film, but they do provide a crucial bridge between Night...

    Reading DVD reviews while tired...

    ...Is probably a bad idea. I'm one of those guys who loves tabbed browsing in Mozilla - I keep 4 or so different tabs open at any given time, and it can grow to 10 or 15 depending on what I'm up to. Anyhow, I just decided to check DVDFile for their new reviews for the evening (or morning...

    One Hour Photo insert(s)

    I tried a search on this, and couldn't find anything. Anyway, my copy of One Hour Photo (WS, of course) arrived today. Oddly, it contains about 5 or 6 copies of the same insert. Now, I'd normally chalk this up to some error at the packaging stage. However, given the theme of reproduction in the...

    The Hills Have Eyes: Sep. 03

    According to today's Gorezone update (which in turn cites fangoria.com), Anchor Bay will release Wes Craven's The Hills Have Eyes as a 2-disc SE in September 2003. Extras are TBA, but it will have new DD and DTS mixes. Hopefully, unlike Image's recent DVD of Part 2, it'll also be an OAR release...

    *** Official "CONFESSIONS OF A DANGEROUS MIND" Discussion Thread-August Re-Release

    There doesn't appear to be an official thread for this yet, so I thought I'd start a discussion thread. Anyway, I caught this yesterday after being thwarted from seeing About Schmidt (which was sold out). And I was floored. Upon further reflection, I have placed it as my number 1 film of 2002...

    The Criterion 'Prince of Tides' LD recall

    I was wondering if anyone could provide specifics on the situation regarding the original release and recall of Criterion's LD of Streisand's Prince of Tides. Did the original discs ever officially make it to market (I know some copies still float around on the secondary market)? What was...

    DePalma/Scarface/Rap

    I didn't notice anyone posting this (and a search came up blank), but the New York Times ran a story last week on DePalma and his upcoming Femme Fatale. When discussing Scarface, he had this to say:

    The Good Girl

    I couldn't find any threads about this film, so I figured I'd start one. If I missed a thread during a search, mods should of course feel free to close/merge this one. If there indeed has been no thread yet, however, I'm a little surprised. There has been some buzz about the film, especially in...

    Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation - Canadian DVD

    During a recent bargain sale on Playcentric, I bought Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation. Although I hadn't realized that a Canada-only DVD existed, the Canadian Lion's Gate disc arrived (as opposed to the U.S. disc released by Columbia). Upon further inspection last night, the disc...

    Michael Tolkin on 'The Rapture' DVD

    I met Michael Tolkin at a signing this past evening for his new novel, 'Under Radar.' He was also nice enough to sign my Criterion LD of 'The Player,' as well as my MovieCD of that film (yay for weird mid-90s attempts at new video formats). While he was signing, I asked him about the status of...

    Missing posts?

    My post count seems to have dropped a bit after yesterday, and at least one post that I know I made yesterday has disappeared. I'm assuming that it wasn't an administrative decision due to my posting of improper content, since the one post I know of wasn't inflammatory and no mod contacted me...

    Texasville Director's Cut?

    There doesn't seem to be much info out there, but I know there was a longer director's cut of Texasville released on LD. Does anyone know the running time on this (or the theatrical cut, for that matter)? DVDPlanet lists the running time of the upcoming DVD (to be released 9/17) as 126 minutes...

    Programming Criterion's "Close Encounters"?

    I've got the Criterion Close Encounters of the Third Kind CAV set and i've read that following the insert's programming instructions (to add the additional scenes from the end of each side in) actually results in the "ultimate" network TV version instead of the 1980 Special Edition (as it...
