    Another one: 'Alien' prepares to be rebooted

    I'm pretty sure that films like "The Exorcist", "Alien", "The Godfather", "Beverly Hills Cop", "Rambo II", "Lethal Weapon 2" and "T2" would all have grosses of around $250 million each (in some cases much more) when adjusted for inflation. The "R" rating isn't the audience-killer many...

    Spare us all! Another Indiana Jones film could be on the way

    Heaven forbid someone in Hollywood would plan to make another entry in a film franchise when the last one was so financially, and for the most part critically successful.   Spare us all indeed!     I don't really get why so many people have it in for Crystal Skull. I can see why many...

    Steve Sansweet talks BD 6 film Star Wars and more

    I'd even go further and say I don't understand why people feel Lucas "milked" Star Wars on VHS. Before the 1995 remasters, and with the exception of widescreen versions released around '91 or '92, all the releases of each Star Wars films were from the same transfer. They might have been...

    May we all have disappontments the way Lucas had in 2002! $300 million instead of $400 million, damn! Number 2 instead of number 1, damn, damn! It's a wonder Lucas wasn't institutionalized that year for severe depression!

    The Exorcist on Blu-Ray?

    I think it's time to start a real "Free Hat" group devoted to protecting films from their directors!

    Star Trek films on Blu-Ray... what we know so far

    That's what I deduced after finding a photo of it on the net. But the odd thing is that both Kirk and Spock are clearly reacting to something in front of them. So how that fits into that scene I have no idea.

    Star Trek films on Blu-Ray... what we know so far

    Actually I did a google image search an found it, albiet with a little more picture on the top and bottom and it appears to be an access ladder that they're climbing due to the turbolift being inoperative. It appears to be during the scene from the EE where Kirk points out to Spock that David's...

    Star Trek films on Blu-Ray... what we know so far

    I think part of the shot ends up in the final cut, briefly seen on the Bird of Prey's viewscreen when Chang quotes the "Prick us do we not bleed" speech as he's attacking the Enterprise. A few other things: There's a still from STII that I remember that has Kirk staring intently through what...

    I dunno, it's quite possible the film could do double - or triple - the business it might have normally done had it not been for Ledger's death. Unlike Batman, Gilliam's films are not that popular to begin with so who knows.

    I wonder is Kirk playing "Sabotage" on the car radio was a nod to this: YouTube - William Shatner "Sabataage"

    Star Trek films on Blu-Ray... what we know so far

    It is possible that we may never see the Director's Edition of TMP? It's my understanding that they would have to redo all the added effects from scratch in HD so wouldn't that be fairly costly, especially for a catalogue title that's one of the less well-liked of the series? If Robert Wise...

    Is the LOTR Blu-Ray due sooner than we think?

    If they could release all the LOTR films which each film on one DVD, have both cuts available via seamless branching, and not charge any more than the average new release price for a DVD, as they did no more than a couple of years ago, then I don't see why it would be so difficult to do the same...

    Is the LOTR Blu-Ray due sooner than we think?

    I don't see the problem with just simply wanting a release that has both versions of the film. You know, Blu Ray and DVD have the capability of having more than one cut of a film presented on the same disc. Blade Runner, Close Encounters and even Jackson's King Kong were released that way and at...

    Sequel to Rob Zombie's Halloween

    It will probably be the same jingle, but Dan O'Herlihy's character will be given a white-trash backstory and it will be revealed that each of the masks are based on his three personalities! And Tom Atkin's character will hump a bagel!

    Star Trek TOS Special Edition Starts Sept 16th.

    I remember there being a comic, released in the late eighties that dealt with the very end of the five year mission and included Commander Decker as part of the crew, and did in fact establish that he was Commodore Decker's (from The Doomsday Machine) son. I can't remember what is was called...

    2010 BD

    I always assumed the pod that's still in the bay in 2010 is the pod Bowman used to retrieve Poole. When Max and Curnow first enter the Discovery, Curnow shines his light through the pod and it's pretty obvious its missing its door even though Curnow reports that it seems intact. Assuming he...

    Is the LOTR Blu-Ray due sooner than we think?

    The difference is that when each LOTR movie came out on DVD in August of their respective years, it was made known that the EEs would be out the following December. The reasoning being that they would need the extra time to provide extra features ( four commentaires and two bonus discs for each...
