    "For the Boys": April 7

    ...according to Amazon. An Anchor Bay release. Surprising that this Midler musical would arrive on Blu Ray before her other (and more successful) musical for which Fox has home video rights. Perhaps Fox licensed that title to Criterion---a rose was featured among their recent set of hints...

    "Star!" on DVD: Review some HTF members not happy!

    I picked up a copy of the "Star!" DVD in NYC last week at one of those stores that tends to have amnesia when it comes to street dates (the street date is April 20). Fox has done a commendable job in including nearly all of the extensive supplements from the laser disc set, including the...
