According to DVD Times 20th Century Fox in the UK are releasing a boxset of five Shirley Temple films but it appears they are colourised only editions ?! I'm praying this isn't true, its a dreadful waste and an insult to the star who saved Fox from disappearing into a financial black hole in the...

BBC Worldwide have confirmed that this year's November release for their Doctor Who range will be the much-rumoured Lost in Time box set. The three disk set will contain the eighteen episodes from stories currently too incomplete in the BBC's archives to merit a DVD release of their own...

I'm surprised somebody hasn't posted this before but its shaping to be a great summer and possibly autumn/ winter too for fans of silent film comedy. KINO ON VIDEO is releasing several collections of silent comedy on August 3rd (slightly delayed from July 20th) under the title SLAPSTICK...

Silent film fans in the UK will no doubt be looking forward to the release of Sunrise on Monday and The Last Laugh next month. But I just read what appears to be some disappointing news about a silent release in region 2 at DVD Times.Dr Mabuse - The Gambler which I thought Eureka were...

This year is going to bankrupt me ! Columbia have three classic musicals coming on 21st October including The Jolson Story (1946), its sequel and an alright Fred Astaire/Rita Hayworth movie You'll Never Get Rich (1941). These appear to be bare bones but I'm not complaining when I can at last...

The lack of Judy Garland movies on DVD has led me to consider purchasing some episodes of her 1963/64 TV show. The DVDs have been getting glowing reviews but I wonder which boxset of episodes I should purchase (I just want the one) ? I believe there are two boxsets covering all episodes of the...

I thought these were all going to released across all regions at the same time. I know the first batch are coming to R1 on July 1st and I think I'm right in thinking The Great Dictator is already available in France but when are they coming to the UK ? I fear the release may be delayed in...
