    The Descent...R1 Release?

    I believe that this is available in other regions but was wondering if anyone had any information on a region 1 release. Even though this is a 2005 film I don't believe it played in North America until this year. Anyway, I thought it was a darn good film and was wondering what we might expect on...

    Rental pricing...anyone else remember this as a threat?

    Anyone else remember when rental pricing(extremely high pricing upon new movie release to encourage rentals for a given number of months/years before dropping the price for sell through)for DVD's seemed inevitable? Remember when many believed (as did I) that the studios would buckle under the...

    Any Early Reviews of CSI:Season Two?

    I never watched the show when it originally aired on TV but got absolutely hooked on the show when my wife suggested we pick up the Season One box set. I know Season Two will be in widescreen (anamorphic?) and have more bonus material. Anybody know of any early reviews or know when we might...

    N.L.'s Vacation:20th Ann. Ed. ...Some early thoughts

    I was able to purchase an early copy of this (I believe the street date is actually Aug.19th) and watched the movie last night. As one might expect, the new anamorphic widescreen transfer is wonderful to behold. It is much sharper, cleaner and has brighter colors and better contrast than the...

    The General('27,Buster Keaton)...Which to buy/quality?

    I'm thinking of picking up Buster Keaton's silent comedy classic on DVD and found that there are at least two versions of this. One is a very inexpensive one put out by Gotham Distribution (I think) and the other is a more expensive version put out by Kino Video. Does anybody have either of...

    I'm looking to add some John Wayne movies to my collection(I have none at the moment) and was looking for opinions on what others would consider essential John Wayne movies on DVD. I have to admit that I've seen very little of his work. It would be nice to hear comments on his best movies/roles...

Others(DeepDiscountDVD, BestBuy.com) are now listing the release date as July 1st(Amazon.com apparently doesn't...

    What's Up Doc? - Still on Release Schedule??

    Does anybody know if What's Up Doc is still on the release schedule for November 12th? Amazon.com has it available for pre-order but some other retailers do not at this point. I read recently, I believe at DVDFile.com that the Barbara Streisand Box Set scheduled for that date has been taken off...

    Any reviews of the Universal re-issue of The Game yet?

    Universal's re-issue of David Fincher's The Game is due next week and I was wondering if anybody has seen a review of this disc. There appears to be very little information available on this disc besides the fact that it will have widescreen and pan & scan versions of the film (and be bare...

    Salo - How does one find/see this movie?

    I know that Pasolini's Salo is one of the most controversial movies ever made but I have a strange desire to see it. I know that the Criterion Collection DVD is long out of print and unavailable for sale or rent. The DVD is unavailable for rent at Netflix. Apparently, it is also unavailable on...

    Any word on when we can expect Season 2 of All in the Family?

    I know that the video quality is not the best, but I really enjoyed Season 1 of this classic sitcom. Is there any information on when we might expect Season 2 to be released? I'd love to see some bonus material this time along with a "play all" episodes option.

    Are we ever going to see The Sting in it's OAR?

    I'm sure this has been discussed before but why in the world are we stuck with a full frame only version of this great movie? I believe I even saw a widescreen VHS version of this film at one time. I believe the OAR is 1.85:1. Universal doesn't appear to have any immediate plans to revisit this...

    FOX:Towering Inferno&Poseidon Adv. SEs?!

    Just my periodic plea to Fox for them to re-visit these two classics with new anamorphic transfers/improved sound and supplemental material they deserve. I would think that they would both make for great candidates for the Five Star Collection and a box set of both would be fantastic. If a...
