I'm glad this thread has been resurrected because I had forgotten about this great film until now. It seems there is a copy available in the UK on Amazon. For some reason it's listed incorrectly as 1.78:1 Aspect Ratio but if this review here (King of the hill - test dvd) is the same dvd, it's...

Is the new 5.1 mix noticeably better? I believe the previous special edition had 2.0 Stereo, but in all honesty that was perfectly fine... for me atleast.

Thank you, Bob! My questions and concerns are answered and cleared up. Thanks again for the response.

Hi! My question regards the purchase of an upconverting dvd player. A little backstory on our current equipment: The TV to be used is a 27" LCD from Samsung (720p), and our current DVD player does not upconvert (but is progressive). We currently use a component connection from the player...

But Amazon is not directly selling it, it's on their marketplace instead (and quite higher than $8-9?). The only site I could find it being sold directly was from tlavideo. However, I did order it from the marketplace and got a slightly used version. I do not regret the decision as I find the...

Man, oh man. I just hate discovering a film and becoming so interested in it - to find out that the DVD is OOP. Not only that but The Red Tent (1969) was released just almost 3 years ago on R1 dvd, around Fall '05. My question is: has anyone heard anything about Paramount re-releasing this...

If the new set had David Morrell's commentary I would finally let go of my old Artisan First Blood. But it's still a keeper since I oddly found myself listening to it more than once, which is sort of rare for me when it comes to commentaries (save for Werner Herzog's soothing voice). Though it's...

I don't have the original DVD to compare, but that blue/green hue is definitely present on both my TV and this computer. I captured two screens using PowerDVD just a couple seconds after the shots taken by DVDBeaver: Here and Here. Also Svet Atanasov from dvdtalk speaks in his review of...

Have no worries about the Weinsteins cutting anything for they are just throwing money to the Dragon Dynasty project pretty much. It's a man named Brian White who foresees over all the creative aspects of the DD label. On the old universe disc there was a Cantonese and a Mandarin version. The...

Great review! Lumet has made some incredible movies over his career and I feel that this is one of his best, and Treat Williams gives what is probably the role of his life. It's a bit of a shame there wasn't a commentary recorded with Lumet, especially since he's been quite talky on "Dog...

Finally, promising news! The pair's commentary on Catch-22 was a great listen so I'm looking forward to this.

This was posted by a fellow named dvd_luver over at the dvdtalk forums on 4/24: He also goes on to say that the trailers from the original discs were dumped. I can't personally vouch for this, but I'd thought I'd throw this info out there anyway...

Yes, unfortunately, the DVDBeaver shots are accurate.

Great news. Even better if the Criterion will contain both cuts as well, but at this point anything is better than that abomination in R1 land.

Agreed. Over the years I almost kept caving in to buy the horrid dvd just so I can see the damn film again, but held out on hopes of a special edition of any sort. Does anyone know the correct OAR that Sorcerer should be presented in? Is it 1.66 or 1.85?

Ah, great news. I was worried a while back when Talk To Her and Bad Education were going out of print... Glad to see Matador finally making its R1 dvd debut as well.

The Devils Rosetta King of the Hill and another notch for The Adventures of Baron Munchausen

From Davisdvd: Warner Home Video will release a Body Heat: Special Edition on October 24th. Director Lawrence Kasdan's noir thriller arrives with a brand-new digitally remastered anamorphic transfer and a three-part documentary ("The Plan," "The Production," "The Post-Production") featuring...

Got it, though I was a bit concerned. Before I left earlier to check my local BB, I checked their online availability and it was listed as "UNAVAILABLE" to all surrounding locations. But I decided to go anyway and thankfully there was a copy, though it was the only one. This happened to me...

I don't recall Daniel Day-Lewis looking like this in My Left Foot. and the Transamerica cover is a lenticular one..

Ah, I hope that's true! I didn't even think about checking previous chats for news on this release, so I guess that makes sense why it wasn't mentioned in this years. Can't wait...

As would I, but unfortunately it won't be. Kind of a shame it could only been seen in 1 theater over in L.A. Can't wait to pick this up!

The re-release of this last year was only a cover change. Other than that it remains the same old non-anamorphic dvd.

Oh great, I thought it was just my copy that did this. It only happened to me during Chapters 18-19, infact I couldn't even watch the ending without it freezing/skipping. I did try it on an older player I had and it seemed fine, though I only tried the above chapters real quick. I'm going to...
