Thanks for the replies, everyone! I am opening the plastic wrap as we speak. I hope it will be a treat - i've kept my head in the sand over hd-dvd/blu-ray and i haven't even previewed either technology in a store or at a friend's house yet so this'll be my first glimpse. On the standard DVDs...
ok, folks, a real old-timer here (i haven't posted in 6 years!) who took advantage of the Amazon $159 HD-DVD player even though I vowed not to enter the fray until a HD winner was chosen. How free dvd's will sway me... anyway, I have an older projection tv: Mitsubishi WS-65311 with no HDMI. I...
i don't know if this has been reported yet on this site elsewhere already, but even in the in-store (B&M) sales the widescreens are beating out the p&s with this week's new releases.
The GRINCH OAR is #2 on the sales chart, whereas the full frame version is #5. Very good news, especially as...
i think you have reason to hope for at least a new bare-bones version of Grifters within a year. Even though it isn't well-remembered, it was highly respected by critics and movie-goers during its theatrical run, and I believe the actors involved (Huston, Cusack, Bening, etc) are all...
i'm watching this right now (am breaking for some ice cream & a look on the web), have gotten about 10 minutes in. The first tomb/ robot fight was dreadfully edited -- i counted at least 25 horrible edits in there (i.e. robot swings arm - cut to wide shot of robot standing w/ arms at side; shot...
well, i'd like to join your discussion here (the horror discussion, not the internal politics one!).
As you can see i've been a member of htf for all of this millenium, but i don't post a whole lot.
Someone many pages back asked about TOMBS OF THE BLIND DEAD. I just watched (and sold) the...
the cds are also available individually, and also a 'greatest hits of Herzog films' collection which is easier to find in the states (although obviously only a selection of tracks). I have easily 20 or more Popul Vuh releases (some duplication on vinyl & cd) and 3 different versions of the...
i saw this at Dvdfile as well (and was quite pleased that the MSRP for the Herzog films have continually dropped -- first 34.99, then 29.99, now 19.99)...
however, Amazon has them up for Pre-order with a 29.99 MSRP, and CdNow aparantly has one of 'em up for 29.99 MSRP as well (although wrong...
I guess i am one of the few who loved this movie since it first came out. I liked the slow, thoughtful pacing of the film, reminds me of movies from other genres (or of Wise's other masterpiece, Andromeda Strain). I also like the deeper subject matter (even if it isn't overly explored, and...
