UK retailer HMV is listing a ten-disc Matrix Megaset, for release on December the 6th. This seems to tie in with information that's been circulating for a while, but HMV's listing adds some credence to the rumours. The set will also contain a 20-page softcover booklet. HMV's RRP is £44.99...

British retailer HMV are listing a Millennium Season 2 box set for release on September the 27th, and a box set of Steven Bochco's gripping courtroom drama series Murder One for September the 6th, both with an RRP of £29.99.

Fox's UK division has announced the details of the Buffy The Vampire Slayer - Season 7 DVD box set. I expect that the bonus features will be very similar to - if not identical to - the Region 1 version when it eventually turns up. Of course, the UK version will have 1.78:1 anamorphic...

Most SF genre shows from the 70s onwards have had some exposure here in the UK in the last decade or so, but AFAIK neither The Man From Atlantis nor Logan's Run have been shown here since the 70s. So, I'm curious if they still air in the US? I'd quite like to see a few episodes, for old...

Warner Home Video's UK division has announced their intentions to delve deep into their formidable archive in 2004. Since the studio usually closely mimics what the US releases, the list should give a good indication as to the titles you can expect in the US next year! The list includes...

BFI Video will release Michael Powell's The Edge of the World on DVD in the UK on January the 12th. The disc will feature a recording of extracts from Powell's book about the Scottish islands, 200,000 Feet on Foula, read by Daniel Day Lewis. The disc will also feature a commentary track...

Could anyone confirm whether or not the "Unbroadcast Pilot" that purchasers of the Dead Zone box set can send off for is the same as the single disc that's available separately?

Blue Underground are releasing a four-disc set of Christopher Lee movies on September the 30th. The set will contain The Blood of Fu Manchu, The Castle of Fu Manchu, The Circus of Fear and The Bloody Judge. The latter film is a bonus disc in the box set - the others will be available...

According to http://www.dvdtimes.co.uk/index.cgi?page=News&id=4777 Warner Home Video have announced the Region 1 DVD release of The Matrix Reloaded for 14th October 2003. Arriving in separate Anamorphic Widescreen and Full Screen editions this two-disc set will offer the following features...

As I suspected, Columbia Tristar's 2-disc release of Punch Drunk Love is a complete con! The disc, (which is identified as a Superbit title only by a sticker on the sleeve and by the disc's embedded ID, as if Columbia is suddenly ashamed of the monster they've unleashed), is split across two...

Warner Home Video (who own the European rights to the film) will be releasing a new two-disc special edition of The Deer Hunter on August the 4th. The disc will have a commentary track by director Michael Cimino, and video interviews with cinematographer Vilmos Zsigmond and co-star John...

According to most online retailers, Lion's Gate's Happiness - Signature Series DVD is out tomorrow, yet no-one seems to be listing the spec's for it. Anyone have any more info'?

Have I missed an announcement? Canadian retailer DV-Depot are listing this as being released on September 2nd, and have a sleeve image, too! http://www.dv-depot.com/catalog/prod...ucts_id=138367

I'm getting a bit fed up with companies releasing multi-disc sets that contain more than one DVD5. I understand why they do it ("hey, it's a umpteen-disc set"!) but as a consumer, I think it's pretty underhand, especially if I'm being asked to pay, for example, three-disc prices for what...

Warner Home Video (UK) has announced that Sergio Leone's epic Once Upon A Time In America will be released as a two-disc Special Edition, on June 23rd. For more details, and a couple of pack images, visit http://www.zetaminor.com/whatsnew.htm

I'm very grateful to have the first season of NYPD Blue on DVD, and look forward to subsequent releases. However, there are couple of things I hope can be changed for the next volume. On the main menu, moving the selection from one episode to another is accompanied by a brief transitional...

From my website: http://www.zetaminor.com/whatsnew.htm ------------------------------------------------------- Momentum will release a new two-disc special edition version of The Hitcher on June 30th. The 1986 film was one of the first movies to become a huge home video seller...

According to reports on another board, one of the episodes on the Region 2 Season 2 Family Guy set has been edited since its original transmission. The episode Road to Rhode Island has had an Osama Bin Laden joke cut, presumably in reaction to the events of September 11th. I really don't...

Fox UK has announced the release of five "classic" movies for March 3rd. These are The Day The Earth Stood Still, The Blue Max, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Breakdown and Q&A. You can read the details (and see The Blue Max sleeve) here: http://www.zetaminor.com/whatsnew.htm The bad news is that...

Oh, Lord, no!!! According to this website http://www.ourdramaqueen.com/ag/dvdp...dpetition4.htm Another Universe is trying to negotiate the DVD rights to Sam Raimi's terrific TV series American Gothic, presumably because, having royally screwed the My So-Called Life fans, they need to find...

I've just received my Shield Season 1 box set (the R1 version), and have noticed that the Pilot episode is different from the one on the Emmy "For Your Consideration" promo' disc (which I reviewed here: http://www.zetaminor.com/dvd/dvdreviews/shield.htm ) As far as I can tell, the differences...

I'm one of those brave (ie: foolhardy) souls who stuck with their order of the My So-Called Life box set from the much-maligned (and deservedly so) Another Universe. I'm based in the UK, and it just seemed so much hassle to cancel the order, get a refund (ha!) and re-order elsewhere. Besides, I...

I've added a review of Fox's forthcoming 2-disc version of Minority Report to my website, which you can find here: http://www.zetaminor.com/dvd/dvdreviews/minority.htm

The Region 2 version of "Suspiria" was released yesterday, and there are reports that the DTS track has a MAJOR sync problem - it seems to be at least a second or two out! Since the problem was also on the test discs that were sent to reviewers, it's astonishing that this problem was not...

I recently tried to add a signature image to my profile, which would link to my new website. I'm using the same code that works on similar forums, and it seems to work OK. It's not working here (specifically the Software Forum), and when I view threads I see other users seem to be having...

The Malcolm in the Middle box set uses branching for the commentary tracks. For example, if you select the commentary option on the first disc, it plays the whole of the Pilot (which has a commentary track for its entire duration), and then about half an hour of clips from the rest of the...

I got my copy of the Season 2 set today, and my initial joy was quickly dampened when I found a leaflet inside saying that the third season would be released in "Winter 2003". Do we really have to wait more than a year for the next set? Since these sets don't feature anything by way of extra...

Apologies for a very slightly misleading and sensationalist header! I believe that many episodes of the 'new' Outer Limits series exist in two formats: one version features nudity, 'bad' language and more gratuitous violence (perhaps for cable TV screening?); the other uses alternate takes and...

One by one my bookmarked laserdisc websites have - understandably - vanished into the mists of time. Are there any good sites still around?
