I did buy the DVD. I actually did try to check the reviews first, but I couldn't find any, naturally. I knew I was taking a chance, but I hoped for the best. Lesson learned.
According to some reviewers on Amazon, there may be missing scenes on these discs. Does anyone own them, and can confirm this? I'd hate to buy them, only to find they are edited in some way.
I just got the DVD of Fail Safe... it is widescreen, but sadly not anamorphic. I noticed that the back cover did not mention it being 'enhanced for widescreen', but was hoping this was just an oversight. It was not. Why are studios still releasing non-anamorphic transfers in 2007?
I agree. The transfer is excellent, and the film is the most important thing. I do recommend buying it, if you like the movie...and I do...Maggie Smith is terrific!!
Just got The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie. Great movie, but I was wondering...where is the Academy Award-nominated song "Jean" that both the box and the director's commentary mention? I watched the film twice, just to be sure, and I've searched the disc - no sign of the song. Why was this song...
My current pet peeve is to check the back of the crappy cardboard snapper cases that Warner uses. Often there is a small crease in the cardboard in the middle at the bottom on the back. If they all had this exact same defect, I would probably go ahead and buy it. But, I can often find one that...
I really love this series of Sherlock Holmes films. I do have a question, though. The title of Sherlock Holmes in The Spider Woman in misspelled on the spine of my copy as "Spiper" Woman. This was the individual release of this title, not the box set. Are they all that way? This is the first...
The episode "Double Jeopardy" does have commentary by Michael Shanks (because he directed the episode). It is interesting. I do wish that the other cast members (especially Amanda Tapping) had participated in a commentary.
The movies I want most (but I fear will never make it to DVD) have already been mentioned (THe High and the Mighty, 1984, Song of the South, El Topo, Porgy and Bess). But, I would also love to have these: Trapped (1973-James Brolin) The Savage Bees (1976) Where Have All the People Gone...
I am not sure if this is the movie you are talking about. It was made in 1967. It is in black & white, and has a plot similar to the one you describe: The Incident (1967)
I would also love to see Polanski's Cul-de-sac, as I've been looking for it for about 20 years. I've never seen it in any format. But for me, Polanski's best film (along with Repulsion) is Tess. That's another one I am anxiously awaiting on DVD.
I saw Macbeth at a local store. The case does not indicate that it is anamorphic (but at least it is OAR). Does anyone know if this disc is really being released non-anamorphic? If so, this is yet another recent disappointment for Columbia/Tristar.
OK, you've convinced me, Jack. After actually watching the disc, it does look good. The framing doesn't appear to be off. Still, it would have been best to have both versions on the same disc...the original 1.33:1 (or 1.37:1) frame and the wider screen version that I am sure was shown in...
I just got the DVD. It does say "This film has been modified from its original version. It has been formatted to fit this screen". Odd too, that the trailer included is in widescreen. I hope that the imdb is right on this one, but I would like a bit more proof that this is the OAR.
Yes!! I was finally able to order the Short Films DVD. $9 shipping seems a tad excessive, though. Only for the genius of David Lynch would I pay close to $50 for a single DVD.
This site sure has it's problems...
I have been trying to login to the webstore for a week, but have been unable to. However, I just received an email from davidlynch.com saying that I placed a $100 order!! I sure hope my credit card info has not been compromised, or I 'm gonna be very upset!!
