Good news: SEVEN MEN FROM NOW is due later this year from Paramount, who recently made a deal with the John Wayne estate to release all of the films from Wayne's production company.

Yes, it seems that Best Buy is now the exclusive location for the entire Midnight Movies line. I believe that all the titles are available at both the stores and at Best Buy.com.

Apparently it will also include an early Soderberg short film, too. What, no commentary?

By the way, I feel I should mention that I eventually went with laserdisken.dk and found it to be an excellent service. Highly recommended, as is the Danish DVD for TERKEL IN TROUBLE.

ACE IN THE HOLE reguarly tops the various lists of "Not on Home Video/DVD" and I'm sure Paramount is aware of the demand. I can't help but feel that there's something else that's holding this title back like bad elements or legal entanglements. Someone at Paramount could at least update the DVD...

Just a rumor, I think. John Woo has been quoted as saying that the experience of making HARD TARGET and dealing with clueless Universal execs, the MPAA and Jean-Claude Van Damme is a still a pretty painful memory and one he isn't looking to revisit. But hey, never say never, right?

WHITE HEAT?!? Sweet!

Yes and no. That practice began around the mid to late 80s. Prior to that, trailers were not usually produced as far in advance as they are today. The standard trailer would show up in theaters about a month before the release date, so many of the post-production elements of a film (score...

At a Fangoria-sponsored screening of SHAUN back in August, director Edgar Wright told the crowd that the U.S. DVD will have a few "U.S. only" extras. He didn't elaborate other than to say that some of the foul language used in the commentary that was bleeped out on the U.K. disc (where the film...

Universal's decision to remove theatrical trailers from their reissues really irks me. Don't these major studios understand that the audience really like trailers? OK, well I like trailers. But I know I'm not alone in that!

I'm looking to order TERKEL IN TROUBLE, the hilarious Danish CGI comedy, but I can't find any online Danish DVD retailers. Can anyone recommend any?

It's my understanding that Anchor Bay was preparing the release of Wender's complete UTEOTW until Warner Brothers (who released the cut version theatrically in the U.S.)stepped in and claimed the rights to the complete version. So at least it's coming from Warners at some point, just hard to say...

There was a Region 3 release from Hong Kong that I found in a store in NYC's Chinatown. Never picked it up, don't know if it's wide or has subs, but it's out there. And just to answer another question, MILO & OTIS was 1.85:1. I was working in a movie theater when it was released and it was...

Not to mention MURDERS IN THE RUE MORGUE and ISLAND OF LOST SOULS and the countless number of sci-fi classics of the 1950s. Universal has barely scratched the surface of what's in their vaults.

Thing about that cover art - it's the original theatrical artwork. Columbia almost never does that! I'm happy, I'll buy it.

A friend's wife interviewed Christopher Plummer regarding FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE for the DVD release... back in 2000! There's got to be a rights squabble or something like that going on.

I would be a little bit more appreciative if you included original theatrical trailers on all you catalog DVDs. I know you've said that music rights are the reason why, but with every other major studio making original trailers available on their DVDs it doesn't make much sense to me. I have the...

THE DEVILS (Uncut, w/BBC documentary) TWILIGHT ZONE - THE MOVIE

To my knowledge, FOUR FLIES ON GREY VELVET was released uncut in the U.S. It was never one of Argento's gorier films. I saw the film in NYC in 1991 with Argento in attendence, where it was shown with SUSPIRIA. Argento introduced both and remarked how he was disappointed the SUSPIRIA print...

You should be able to find it at Kim's Video on St. Mark's Place.

CHILLY SCENES OF WINTER is still with MGM. About two years ago, I was working for a company that was looking into BETWEEN THE LINES. I met Ms. Silver's husband, Raphael, who was shopping the rights (the Silvers own both BETWEEN THE LINES and HESTER STREET) and he was surprised that I knew the...

The general timeline seems to be April and then August. That being the case, we should get a new set of Midnight Movies announced some time next month.

The last VHS edition came from Polygram Video in the mid-90s. The Polygram library is now owned by MGM, so I'm guessing they've got it.

The JAWS "Making Of" doc on the laserdisc box set is the best of its type. Unfortunately, the DVD version of the doc has been cut by well over an hour and doesn't have the same feel. One of the reasons I'm glad I still have a laserdisc player.

It should eb noted that the HD transfer of TEXAS CHAINSAW (along with Anchor Bay's new HD transfer of DAWN OF THE DEAD) is currently airing on the new HD channel Monsters HD. Does anyone here have Monsters HD and have they seen these new transfers?

The point is to have something to tie into the release of the ill-advised remake at the end of March. Piggybacking on the upcoming release of a new film is one of the major unwritten rules of the home video industry. It will also, one hopes, remind people of the greatness of Romero's film vs...

I sincerely hope that the Japanese 5.1 track will stay on the disc. I'll toss out my Region 3 discs if they do. MEGAGUIRUS is fun; GMK is awesome.

I'm told that Cronenberg is recording a commentary for the FAST COMPANY disc. A brave man and a cinematic genius.

I agree with you, Ron, on Fox's poor choice of photos for the menu screens. They did give away WAY too much. But other than that, yes it was a great package for a great show. I didn't mind the cougar too much!

I want a legitimate widescreen release of THE APPLE (please, MGM?). The cover that Sergio showed screams bootleg to me.
