    Criterion Blu-ray titles!

    I'll be overjoyed if the Rosemary's Baby guess pans out. Hopefully it won't be another monumental disappointment ala that Thief rumor.

    Pre-90s catalog on Blu - A comprehensive list

    Nice! LW&C is a pulp masterpiece I was worried it would be a long wait since they opted to release the dumbed up dubbed versions first

    The Avengers (2012)

    I've seen a half dozen trailers for this and I still can't figure out who/what it is the Avengers are battling aside from Loki.

    Total Recall 2012

    When I first heard they were remaking this I had a little hope that they would go back to the source material and show me something I haven't seen before from the PK Dick universe. Nope from the trailer it looks like a pointless shot for shot remake of the 1990 film I'll save...

    Warner Brothers Home Entertainment Acquires Rights To 70 Films From The Samuel Goldwyn Library

    More fodder for the Archive dumping grounds more than likely. Pity

    Garden Of Evil - April 24, France

    Very interested to see how these turn out. I'm on the verge of going region free with blu-ray so region coding wont make a difference to me very shortly. hoo-rah!

    Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment will release more than 30 catalog titles on Blu-ray Disc in 2

    Happy to see Ed Wood, Grosse Pointe Blank and High Fidelity on that list. I'll probably also pick up Arachnaphobia. Very disappointed that 20,000 Leagues, Open Range and The 13th Warrior didn't make the cut this year. Looks like I might as well pull the trigger on the French import...

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ The Town -- in Blu-ray

    I have a standing "No Box-O-Junk" policy so I guess that only leaves that swag-less Best Buy version which is still a bit pricy.

    The Spaghetti Western

    Excellent news about Brute and the Beast (a.k.a.) Massacre Time which is a very good spaghetti western directed by later day gore-master Lucio Fulci. I'll be picking this one up for sure.

    Blu-Ray boosts home entertainment. Are you buying Blu-Ray's or renting?

    Both - I can't imagine just doing one or the other exclusively The vast majority of what I do buy are catalog titles. The vast majority of "New" releases are rentals. I'd say about 90% of the new releases I've seen the past year are titles I have no desire to see again, let alone own...

    Shaaaaaaane! Shane would really be something to see in HD, the current R1 DVD has a lot of room for improvement. I'm not the biggest fan of musicals but yes Band Wagon is one of the better ones. 1954 A time of change as aspect ratio's go wide...

    MGM Press Release: BOND 50 (Blu-ray)

    Why am I not surprised by this. So those of us who supported (inadvertently in my case as purchasing titles is a purely selfish endeavor) the previous releases get burned by having to buy the same movies over (if we want the new to BD titles) and the indifferent fence sitters (those...

    Universal To Celebrate 100 Years in 2012

    Great news on Drac, Frank & The Bride! Hopefully they keep going with the classic monsters so we can at least have the creme de la creme (Invisible Man, The Mummy, Creature From the Black Lagoon & Son of Frankenstein) on Blu-ray. I don't suppose there's much hope in seeing their other great...

    I remember Sunset Blvd being rumored for BD release each of the past few years so maybe there's hope. I'm pretty sure we'll see Rashomon from Criterion & Cinderella from Disney in the not too distant future. Not so hopeful about the rest unfortunately. Good catch on All About Eve, I knew...

    Blu-ray Wish List, Year by Year

    Way too many for me to narrow down to just three Ben. Also the vast majority of desirable pre-1950 films are controlled by Warner (and to a lessor extent Universal). Anyway...........1946 I couldn't narrow it down to less than these 3 for The Killers. Love all 3 but probably...
