Thanks for the press release. That confirms all. Corrected discs hooray! Thank you Warners! Johnny B.

Very nice! That 5 disc set will be mine! Saw both films in theatrical release. Both excellent, "Letters" had the edge for me. Looking forward to the bonus documentaries disc as well. Adding the historical content will definitely round out this package for me. Johnny B.

Fresh from Davis DVD... "Warner Home Video's beleaguered SUPERMAN: ULTIMATE COLLECTOR'S EDITION boxed set will be re-released on May 29th. The 14-disc set, which was effectively recalled after faulty "Superman: The Movie" and "Superman III" discs were packaged in it, still retails $99.92."...

My most wanted title from Criterion's previously available laserdisc editions would be... David Fincher's THE GAME Followed by... Byron Haskin's ROBINSON CRUSOE ON MARS Plus, I would definitely be keen for somebody to release these two and I think Criterion would absolutely be the...

Hmmmm. Haven't seen this in years. Definitely underrated. Both Gould and Plummer in fine form. John Candy has a bit as one of the bank tellers. One for those that enjoy 'cat and mouse' psychological thrillers. I would certainly purchase this title if released to DVD as I've only ever seen it...

Chris, Just to confirm that Region 4 (Australia, New Zealand) is PAL, as is Region 2 (United Kingdom). Johnny B.

Just watched this a couple of weeks ago and I can confirm that the Region 4 disc is indeed a 2.35:1 ratio. Johnny B.

Hopefully this German release means that a Region 1 release is on the horizon. A great film. I saw this 3 or 4 times in the 80's including it's initial theatrical release. I think it played a week at the local cinema. Surely Treat Williams' best role, but I don't think it's Lumet's best film...

When I visited Los Angeles back in late '93 I saw FEARLESS at the Chinese Theater on Hollywood Blvd. The film made a strong, lasting impression on me. I had flown by myself to the US from New Zealand, saw the film the night I landed and it connected with me on so many levels. My relationship...

Wow, they definitely seem to have been pulled completely. I've checked several sites trying to find them and they all come up with 'discontinued item' or the equivalent. Anybody know of any 'last resorts' to try and obtain these? Cheers, Johnny B.

File under "guilty pleasure" for me. I'd be up for seeing this one released.

It's just recently had a Region 4 release (no extras though) so I'm sure a Region 1 announcement and release can't be far behind. Johnny B.

This could be a mistake MANHUNTER fans but here is the text taken from the DVDFile site today - "...although Manhunter is a new full frame-only release of the theatrical cut only, plus a trailer. No word on whether MGM will be releasing the extended/director's cut previously issued by Anchor...

I caved in last year and got I MARRIED A MONSTER FROM OUTER SPACE on vhs (along with PHASE IV - with the ants!) as I just couldn't hold out any longer, having seen it late one night on tv many years ago and remembering it ever since. A great underrated sci-fi flick for sure. I'd happily upgrade...

I'm a bit concerned at the overlapping disc packaging they show on the link to MGM in Brian's thread. 6 discs spread over 3 panels with 1 disc placed at top and the second below but half overlapping. This could lead to unwanted scratches. Has anybody purchased overlapping packaging in the...

I just got a new copy of ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST. The discs weren't loose but Disc One had a cluster of scratches on it. I checked a few scenes and it seems fine, but it drives me nuts too! Johnny B.

One of my top 10 films for the year. Count me in.

If you go to the Criterion site directly at www.criterionco.com and look under support and feedback, there is a link to Ask Jon Mulvaney. If you e-mail him and ask nicely I'm sure that he will send you one. I bought a brand new Tokyo Drifter that was missing the insert, so I e-mailed him, and...

Just watched this tonight. Hadn't seen it in years. Good colour, good sound. I must admit that the image did look a little 'squished' in places too but wondered if that was just my imagination... BUT what I haven't seen anybody mention yet is that during the 'Iceland' sequence when James...

BAD RONALD mentioned above is a great one. Saw this a couple of times many moons ago. But if I had to pick just one it would be HARPY (1970). I saw this when I was very young and never forgot it, particularly the ending. Here's a review from an early edition of Leonard Maltin's movie...

Ralph Bakshi's WIZARDS. What better time to release this animated fantasy than now while HARRY POTTER and LORD OF THE RINGS are sparking a big interest in this field. Johnny B.

Wow! How could I forget Miklos Rozsa's great score, as others have mentioned. Very exhilirating and memorable. Johnny B.

Nothing's been officially confirmed as yet, but I do recall hearing that THE HOWLING was going to receive the special edition treatment from MGM. They'll probably incorporate the extras from the laserdisc s.e. At the time it came out on DVD (last Halloween or thereabouts?) MGM said that they...

Thanks for the review Ron, TIME AFTER TIME is still one of my personal favorites after all these years. I saw it on it's original release and was immediately captivated by it's melding of many themes and genres into a cohesive whole. You'd think that a film that incorporates H G Wells, Jack...

While I already own the Criterion disc, I will happily upgrade my version of this classic for a restored new print containing the French opening sequence. Having owned the British vhs release which contained the French opening sequence, I couldn't understand why Criterion would opt for using the...

There was news maybe a coupla years back through Studio Day reports (?) that DVD Producer Charles Kiselyak had made a new documentary to accompany the imminent release of a Special Edition version. But nothing has ever appeared. However, next year is the 30th anniversary, so you never know...

My partner is a big fan of CSI and pre-ordered the R2 3 disc set featuring the first 12 episodes from series 1. Nice packaging and all but when we went to play the pilot episode, the theme music has been replaced by some kind of bad elevator music! The music used in the broadcast version of...

Here's hoping that they still include both versions of the film as featured on the current release. Johnny B.

DarrenA hit the nail on the head when he said -

Okay, a couple of points first. I manage a video library here in New Zealand and these details are straight from Columbia themselves pertaining to the local (Region 4) release, but I figure that the features will be pretty much the same worldwide and that this is news of interest to the...
