Finally, CHARRO! That's excellent news, I always loved that title song. :) S

A bump for the BEAVER - let's hope Gary can keep his excellent site! :) S

This is a new six-disc set containin gHarum Scarum, It Happened at the World's Fair, Jailhouse Rock, Speedway,Spinout & Viva Las Vegas. Apparently, this is a box containing next week's Warner-Elvis releases. What I don't get is why they left out The Trouble with Girls - oh well, glad we're...

Watch the TV version first - it gives you a much better view on Bergman's extraordinary ability to create a working/not-working relationship that looks, feels and sounds absolutely real. The theatrical edition is a fast forward thru the whole storoy, so you cannot really appreciate all the...

Okay, so once more, NO HAMLET for us - but, could someone tell me about the quality (av) of the Kultur King Lear DVD with Sir Laurence? Thanks a LOT, S :)

I watched This Gun For Hire last night, and darn, that was sexy! (well, Veronica Lake that is) And: I really enjoyed the picture quality - sharp and detailed, I thought that was absolutely alright with that low price tag. :) Go get it, it's the one and only, ultra-hot and sizzling VERONICA...

Hey Derek, that was meant in regard to some old-school CD dyes, that actually destroyed the real CD content - vertically, this apparently did not happen. Anyway, that was all before my time... . So, vertical for convenience (pulling them out sideways just seems strange) and for them not...

Excellent news - I was on the verge of getting the very fine R2, but now I can just relax! :) Are any other Bergmans planned by Criterion? S

Just like CDs, DVDs are supposed to be stored vertically - besides it being more convenient, it also prevents the dye from destroying your precious titles. Go Vertical! :emoji_thumbsup: S

Oh, and: Missouri Breaks will be released in R2 this month - apparently in anamorphic 1.85:1 - did anyone hear about this? Is there any official word on Viva Zapata from Fox? Thanks, S

Brando's Sayonara as well as Guys and Dolls were released in R2 some time after their R1 counterparts - and both with anamorphic transfers. Does anyone have an opinion on those? Basen is down right now... . Also, did anyone see the transfer of the R2 Nightcomers? Thanks, S

Crikey, I got myself all 4 new noirs by Universal - man, nice investment... . ARGH! S

Thanks Haggai - her and Brando in that scene are just very very, well, hot is the word, I guess. ;) S

To me, Brando was the greatest actor of all time, and an extraordinary human being - I am very saddened by the news of his passing. If I'd have to pick from his movies, I honestly could not recommend just a handful. I loved his directorial effort "ONE-EYED JACKS" which is a very...

Both are must-haves - though those releases probably won't set a reference for "centuries to come", they sure will be worth every single penny - until Criterion pulls out the next budget-wrecking multiple-disc set... . :emoji_thumbsup: s

Will the spine number remain the same? I.e., can I go ahead and sell my not-so-good-looking copy of Criterion's first edition? S

Great news! I sure hope Criterion is going to bring us QUAI DES BRUMES "brother" LE JOUR SE LEVE as well - they just HAVE to! S

Can't be NOT a misprint - with a director's audiocommentary it would be just wild to re-frame it afterwards! Darn, this was the greatest cinematography of 2003, or of the 2000s? Seb

Adam, nice review, but: why not put "RECOMMENDED" in the subject line, so more people go out and get it!?! ;) I had the opportunity to watch this with the director being there for q&a's, and it was a fascinating evening! Loved the film and it surely is a story that comes from the heart...

I am in as well! I'd even buy it TWICE! PLEASE! Seb

Not to be thread-abusing, but does anyone know when or if YOU'RE A BIG BOY NOW is coming to DVD? It's one of Coppola's first films and definitely a keeper - not only for the great soundtrack! Seb

Argh, not AGAIN! I will call these people - what's the number? I am seriously PISSED about this! S

Thanks for the review, Adam, but unfortunately I have to back up Mr. Rhett there: I saw this film with some friends at a movie theatre with the director there for what she called "a little q'n'a" - to be honest: we left before even talking to her since this was such a lame attempt to capture...

Come on people, VHS is very, very dead - DVHS is gettin there... . A cassette format is just not gonna work out in the 21st century! S

Well, I heard it will be coming out in Brazil on JUNE 24th for rental - the retail disc (according to one reseller) will be out some months later. Seb

Does anyone know if this title has been announced yet? It is one of my favorites and definitely one of Coppola's best - and his first! :) Thanks for any input, S

No, Emergency Room, ER, Clooney, Greene, ... Seb

I thought I heard that the first season of EMERGENCY ROOM was coming this year, but a search returned ZERO results - unfortunately - was I dreaming? I know there are season boxsets in Japan, but when on earth is the US edition coming? THANKS, Seb :) PS: Could someone correct the...

Wow, COUNTESS DRACULA is my favorite of those - so it won't be 16x9? Or is that "better" with that ratio? Thank you, S

I don't think so, Jeff. Those people that say "no problem" may just not look at it correctly. If I want to see NO PROBLEM that's what will happen... . And: I myself am using a MARANTZ receiver, a friend a different one, my backup system is a weirdo-brand from England - ALL OF THEM show the...
