Unlikely! David Fincher's acclaimed and Oscar nominated Mank (a Netflix film) from 4 years ago still hasn't seen a physical media release. Criterion has licensed a few Netflix films but they're usually from directors like Scorsese, Jane Campion and Noah Baumbach who Criterion has/had a...
For some of us, knowingly buying a bootleg is not an option. I say knowingly because early in my collecting days, I just assumed if it were being sold by Amazon it must be legitimate so yes, I have a few (very few) boots in my collection but immediately replace them when a legitimate version...
It's not a critic's job to bow at the feet of a so called "great" director and massage his ego. It's their job to critique and call a spade a spade. Kael's remark (if indeed she made it and I hope she did) of "Oh, we'll let you have color" is hilarious! If Lean was upset then clearly he has no...
The ill mannered treatment he received at a critics' circle meeting is where Schickel allegedly told Lean that Ryan's Daughter was bullsh*t to his face. I met Kael in person and found her delightfully refreshing though I often disagreed with her intensely. Her blunt honesty could be construed as...
It was the "important" critics who hated it: Pauline Kael, Richard Schickel of Time (who reputedly called it bullsh*t to Lean's face), Vincent Canby of the New York Times, both Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel. Look at the positive reviews on the above advert: Wanda Hale? Gannet News? WABC TV? WINS...
True but the dreamers keep hoping that the Fox titles will see the light of day despite any evidence that Disney gives a rat's arse. Sometimes reality can be a hard pill to swallow.
Disney just shut down the entire SOTS themed Splash Mountain ride in Disneyland and Disney World and will change it to a Princess And The Frog theme when it reopens later this year. If they did that to one of the most popular rides at Disneyland, why would they ever release Song Of The South on...
She co-starred opposite John Garfield, Tyrone Power, Errol Flynn, Paul Newman and played Sandra Dee's mother but it's her European films that she's remembered for including Devil In The Flesh (1947) with Gerard Philipe, Loves Of A Woman (1953) with Massimo Girotti, Five Day Lover (1961) with...
Not from me either. Actually I'm not a big fan of the movie or Capra in general but anything with Stanwyck is a must buy for me and it should look better than the public domain versions out there on DVD.
For those skipping the upcoming blu ray of Poor Things in the anticipation of a UHD release that may never come, consider that if the blu ray sales aren't strong, why would a UHD release even be considered? "Gee, Poor Things didn't sell as well as we hoped on blu ray. Hey, why don't we release...
It's Fred Astaire dancing! Enough said, I'm in.
btw, Astaire's done far worse films: Story Of Vernon And Irene Castle, Second Chorus, Belle Of New York, The Sky's The Limit to name just four.
