Last week I drove to Houston with my wife to enjoy it even we've already watched it on DVD. You know the cinema here even did not show film like "Road to Perdition" this summer. So...

Red Dragon is a well-done piece but failed at several important points, which make it poorer comparing to SotL, and maybe Manhunter. First is how to deal with the charactor Dr. Lector. In Mann's Manhunter, Mann never worried about this, because nobody know him, so he can easily put Dr...

The profit gained from the video and DVD selling is now more than half of the total profits for the studio, then how much does the company spend on promoting a new DVD? For example, Monster Inc.? Any ideas?

Great article, Robert, Thank you. I notice that at imdb.com Pollyanna and other movies you mentioned are all note as Technicolor. So what's the biggest difference between the old technicolor and eastman color, besides the film stock they used?
