Last night I stumbled upon a screening of Otto Preminger's "Exodus" on the FilmFest HD channel. It looked absolutely perfect. It even included the intermission title card. Does this mean there'll be an upcoming new release of the film on DVD? The current disc, to put it charitably, looks a lot...

I read this on the arts.movies.tech newsgroup. There's no mention of it on the Arclight website yet, but if John Sittig says it's coming, that's enough for me. The moviegoing experience of a lifetime. ************************* ArcLight Cinemas, Hollywood will present HOW THE WEST WAS WON...

Thank you Paramount and Martin Blythe (and David Lynch, John Hurt, etc.): THE ELEPHANT MAN is an incredible disc. That final sequence is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen on a DVD, and because pan & scan doesn't come close to doing it justice, I'd forgotten just how beautiful it...

If any of you Warner Home Video people are around, I'd like to thank you for the beautiful DVD of DOCTOR ZHIVAGO. I've watched it 4 times already, and that's a lot of hours. Now please bring on RYAN'S DAUGHTER and my collection of David Lean epics on DVD will be complete. --Bill
