    Thanks for the tip, ordered! I've only seen SHADOW ON THE WINDOW, which is.... well, not awful but not great. For that price, though, it's worth a gamble on the other four.

    The candy box is a Repo Man clue. It's the same generic product design used throughout the film.

    Sony/TCM Glenn Ford: Undercover Crimes DVD Set for 3/18/13

    I've seen FRAMED, CONVICTED and UNDERCOVER MAN. None of them are that great, but they're okay-to-good. I'd probably buy the set if it was $30 or less.

    So... has anyone bought the new Vertical Ray of the Sun release? I'm wondering if there's any reason to buy it if you already have the old release. Can't find a review (much less a comparison) anywhere.

    Criterion Blu-ray titles!

    Boy, I have to disagree. ALL THESE WOMEN and THE TOUCH are two of his worst movies. As a Bergman completist, I'd still buy them, but having seen each twice I'm in no rush to see them again. Top 5 Bergmans I want most on DVD/Blu: In the Presence of a Clown Brink of Life Dreams Secrets of Women...

    Criterion Blu-ray titles!

    Sansho the Bailiff is nothing like a Kurosawa samurai picture. For one thing, there are no samurai in it. It's an incredibly depressing drama. You also see and spend perfectly good money on movies you don't like at all. No one can like every single film released by Criterion. But...

    I haven't seen Koyaanisqatsi in about 20 years. I liked it at the time, and I do want to see it again, but not too interested in buying it (I love Baraka, though). Also, I saw Powaqqatsi and pretty much hated it. Pina: very interested, but I haven't seen it yet so it's a try-before-I-buy...

    Case Against Brooklyn, The Criminal Lawyer Crooked Web, The Escape From San Quentin Shadow On The Window, The The only one of these I've seen is Shadow on the Window, which is... not terrible, but not great. Case Against Brooklyn is on my watchlist, I might risk a blind buy of the set.

    I wonder if anything will be different with Vertical Ray. I have the old DVD already. I deeply wish a Blu-Ray was coming, it's one of my top 100 films. I guess I shouldn't hope for the "making of" featurette from the European releases. Sigh.

    Is "The Time Machine" (1960) ever coming to Blu-ray?

    IMHO, Mother Night > Slaughterhouse Five

    Film noir and Carole Lombard - 2 new collections from Tcm vault collection

    My ratings for the noirs: The Blue Dahlia - 7/10 The Glass Key - 7/10 Phantom Lady - 8/10 I think this will be a "wait until I have some extra cash" set for me, if not a "pass" entirely. Definitely not a must-have. Very rare for a noir set not to have at least one title I'm dying to own. Some...

    Blu-ray Review The Flowers of War Blu-ray Review

    City of Life and Death is a far, far better movie. As is the documentary Nanking. What we really need is Under the Hawthorn Tree on Blu-Ray, it's Zhang's best movie in years.

    I've seen all of the top 50. SATANTANGO is a top 100 film for me. JEANNE DIELMAN is tough but very interesting. HISTOIRE(S) DU CINEMA was an utter chore, but I'm not a Godard guy.

    Criterion Blu-ray titles!

    I've seen Eraserhead probably a dozen times and I'm nowhere near done with it. If Criterion does release it, they NEED to include the "Stories" feature from the DVD. One of the best special features ever.
