I'd definitely add David Cronenberg, although I don't know if Canadian counts. I have to admit that I've had a down on Sarris for years, largely through my unrepentant status as a Paulette.

A fascinating interview. My compliments. One thing that does perturb me somewhat is the apparent obsession with remixing mono soundtracks into surround sound. Personally, and maybe I'm alone in this, I always want a restored version of the original mono soundtrack included as well as a remix...

From my own personal favourites, "Night Moves" is the main contender - wonderful film and now is the time to get a decent SE done while Mr Penn and Mr Hackman are still very much with us. I'd also like to see Minnelli's "Some Came Running" and "Two Weeks In Another Town" - rather baffled...

I was wondering whether anyone else is eagerly anticipating the release of Arthur Penn's excellent "Night Moves" on DVD. Having just watched it again on tape, I'm more than ever convinced of two things; firstly, that Gene Hackman never gave a better performance - which is saying a lot - and...

I'll be writing a review of this at the weekend for DVD Times here in the UK but I just want to say that, regardless of anything else, it's one of the most heartbreakingly sad films ever made; all about how time defeats youth, ambition, friendship and loyalty, leaving us completely lost in an...

I know it's not a Bogart movie but any news of the marvellous "White Heat" ? Watched it last night for the umpteenth time on VHS and I'd really love a good, restored version of the movie.

An excellent review, so thanks for that. I especially liked the comments on Bronston's epics since I always thought that "Gangs" shared a lot in common with "The Fall of The Roman Empire" (although Mann's film is a much more satisfying work as a whole). I'll be getting the R2 so will be...

"We'll take foreplay as read, shall we dear ? "

Splendid news. Thankyou very much.

As for the titles I'd like to see released, two spring to mind. Firstly, the deliriously entertaining "Prime Cut" as mentioned elsewhere. Secondly, the Robert Aldrich cop movie "Hustle", a film which seems to be virtually unseen nowadays. Not only is it quintessential Aldrich - cynical...

Thanks for the heads-up on this. I adore "Chinese Roulette". Am I right in thinking that "Fear Eats The Soul" is on the way from Criterion ?

They Live, Prince of Darkness, Starman (the latter also has a Carpenter commentary with Jeff Bridges) are all excellent R2 releases. Seconded ! In fact I thought "Prince of Darkness" looked better than it ever has done - an undervalued movie with a good edge of Nigel Kneale about it (even if...

Personally, rather than "Schindler's List" which I don't much like, I'd love to see "Sugarland Express", "Duel" and the TV movie "Something Evil" from the Spielberg back catalogue. An improved edition of the undervalued "1941" would be very nice as well. But the one I'm waiting for is a...

I'd say keep hold of it. It's an entertaining film and at least its in OAR. The UK R2 version is a little better I think, with an original featurette but I'm not sure if it's anamorphic. I imagine Fox will get round to a Special Edition eventually but you might as well enjoy it now, especially...

I was hoping that "The Homecoming" might have been Peter Hall's excellent film from 1973 of Harold Pinter's play. I haven't seen it for a few years and I'd love to see it again. One of the Ely Landau films of successful plays of the late 60s/early 70s. I'd like to see the film of "Butley" too -...

I wonder whether this is another expression of what appears to be a general feeling amongst some DVD distributors - that horror fans are primitive morons who will put up with any old rubbish. Here in the UK, we have to put up with similar nonsense from the dreaded VIPCO label, which has been...
