"Blast of Silence"

I second the vote for eFilmcritic.com. Besides the constantly updated schedule of titles, their DVD reviewer is one of the smartest, handsomest and most talented people in the field.

I know that "Shoot Em Up" has a DTS track and that just came out a week ago.

I do have it and the artwork pictured above is the same as on the case. I don't have it right in front of me but I believe that the disc itself has similar artwork

night of the living dead

I asked the local Buena Vista publicist in Chicago about this a couple of weeks ago and he said that it was off the schedule for the time being, though he did not have any information as to why or when it would be rescheduled. Sorry for the vagueness

Anchors Aweigh

Since most of the major MIA titles have been mentioned above, here are three decidedly minor ones that would thrill me immeasurably if they appeared... Exposed (1983) Quintet (1979) Student Bodies (1981)

Back to Quintet... I was at a function for Robert Altman last night and asked him if he knew anything about a possible DVD release of the film (which I personally think is great-the most iconoclastic film by one of America's most iconoclastic directors). He said that Fox has the rights but he...

I don't know if the new disc is remastered but I believe that 1.33 was the original aspect ratio for the film.

Was "Blue Dreamer" the sequence in which Farrah Fawcett was dressed up in a vaguely S&M-ish outfit? If so, this sequece was deleted at the last minute before it was released in theaters. Although a last-minute edit may not have been the most surprising thing when you consider the notoriously...

The reason it fell out of copyright is slightly more complicated. Originally, it was titled Night of the Flesh Eaters (or something similar) and copyrighted under that title. The distributors renamed it but forgot to reapply for a copyright for the new title. Techically, Night of the Living Dead...

I don't think that Miramax owns the video rights to Double Life of Veronique. When it was released, the home video rights were sold to Paramount (same as Delicatessan and others)and I presume they still own them. I think I read somewhere, however, that the agreement was about to expire and that...

Actually, in 1944, Universal did put out a film entitled The Climax which was orignally designed as a sequel to Phantom of the Opera. That could conceivably appear if they wanted to do a sequel to the collection (though if the trailer is any indication, I hope we don't have to pin our hopes on a...

Although her name was beeped by Tarantino for stylistic reasons (and it is revealed in Vo. 2), it does actually appear in Vol. 1 for a split-second. When she buys the plane ticket to Japan, there is a quick shot of the ticket-if you freeze it, you can read her name at the top. Of course, only...

This is just an educated guess based on actually having seen Demonlover theatrically. The film involves hentai anime as one of its plot points (if you don't know, ask your mother)and in the theatrical version, a couple of the shots that we saw were oddly fogged to presumably obscure certain...

Neil Young's "Greendale" CD contains a pretty nifty DVD that contains a solo concert in which he performs an acoustic version of the entire album. Since the songs are connected to tell one complete story, Young also explains the storyline between the songs (which is occasionally helpful since...

I can't believe that no one has mentioned the original "Ocean's 11"

I would love to see a DVD of this film as well-especially if they could include all the footage that was taken out of it (including the original ending). However, since it is a marginal title and since Alan Rudolph himself isn't too keen on it, I wouldn't exactly hold my breath over it appearing...

Autographed DVD's Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956)-Kevin McCarthy City of Lost Children- Jean-Pierre Jeunet (complete with sketch of an Alien swooning over Audrey Tautou) Cat People (1982)-Paul Schrader The Matrix-Laurence Fishburne Heaven's Gate-Kris Kristofferson Martin-George...

WHile I don't know this for sure, I would guess that there is some sort of rights issue involved. In America, the film was reelased theatrically by Miramax and at the time, the studio had a home-video deal with Paramount. Therefore, there may be a conflict between the two on who gets the DVD...
