Those were British releases. Different licensing. And, by the way, El Cid and The Fall of the Roman Empire were released by Anchor Bay in the UK in 2011.
In the US, El Cid and The Fall of the Roman Empire were released back in 2008 on DVD by the Weinstein-owned label The Miriam Collection...
You seem to be reading that "noir", meaning "black", in that context is the literal color. To me, and I think to many (if not most) people it means "black" in the sense of a dark tone or mood or feeling. The French critics who saw parallels from German Expressionist films were certainly aware...
Maybe that's the hold-up. They've already upgraded five of their Eastwood BDs to UHD; it may be they are considering releasing Paint Your Wagon as a UHD/BD combo (or a simultaneous release of separate UHD and BD releases) instead of doing BD now and UHD later.
Funny thing. I just picked up a copy of You and Me at Bull Moose today. In fact, I picked up nine discs there, only two of which weren't Kino (or Kino-distributed) releases.
Funny. In previous sales, when I put a title in my cart, it would say if right there in the cart if it wasn't in stock. I found that useful, as I'd then put those titles back in my wish list, checkout with the titles that were readily available, then create a second order with the backordered...
Was the missing item still listed on the enclosed packing list? If not, pull up the order number under your account at the website, and it should tell you if any title was held back because it was out of stock.
I think we all understand that. The thing is, Kino has been in business for several decades, distributing films to the theatrical and educational markets, as well as home video. They've released LDs (and likely VHS tapes before that) and DVDs before Blu-ray came along. For Blu-ray, they already...
Yeah, that's why I explained that not all Kino announcements are specifically for their "classics" brands. It has become something of a tail wagging the dog.
Any number of possible reasons. First, they might be waiting on the production of extras. In one case recently, they had to delay a title by a few months because one of the planned extras fell through. Second, they might be waiting on the studio to provide them with an upgraded master. Third, it...
Maybe, maybe not.
Double Trouble: I wouldn't think of it as a "classic", but I can imagine other people thinking it is. It is 30 years old...
Deliver Us: If you're talking about the Danish TV release, no, I wouldn't consider it a classic. But they aren't calling it one. It's one of those pesky...
Not all of the Kino announcements are under the "Kino Lorber Studio Classics" brand. Kino has a few different brands of their own -- "Kino Lorber Studio Classics" is largely just what it says; "Kino Classics" tends to be foreign titles (like the ones from Murnau Stiftung) or early silents; "Kino...
It's not clear who owns it these days. Warner distributed it, but the rights for the source novel were bought by the producer, Alex Gottlieb. The NYT obit for Gottlieb doesn't mention any surviving family (his wife died quite a while before he did, and they don't seem to have had any children)...
If you mean The Thousand Eyes of Dr. Mabuse (and are Region B capable), this is still in print...

In general, my tastes lean towards pre-1970 movies. But that doesn't mean there aren't plenty of post-1970 movies that I will happily add to my collection.
It comes and goes in waves, largely, I think, based on what kinds of studio deals they make, and what films they are able to get rights to. When KLSC started, they were releasing a lot of classic films, and I was buying most of them. After about six months, they seemed to move into releasing a...
When Kino announced Return of the Musketeers a couple of years ago, the Insider said that someone else had the first two. The way he put it --something like "we'll probably get our Musketeer film out long before they get theirs out" -- sounded like it must be Criterion, who is notorious for...
I try my damnedest to not only open the package right away, but also to spin the disc up, and chapter-skip through it. There have been any number of discs that had frozen up doing that. Fortunately, more often than not, it can be fixed with a swipe of a microfiber cloth over the surface. But...
Perhaps, but keep in mind that when a title is Out of Print, and no longer offered, it's removed from Kino's site. Check, for example, Duel in the Sun. That the Sirk double-feature is still listed tells us that it's still being offered.

Kino Lorber is now Cohen's distributor. This release is listed as "Temporarily Out of Stock", which likely means they just need to have more units pressed.
Oh, and it's Cohen Media Group, not "Cohen Bros."...
