Those titles were announced without a date this past fall.

I understand that but now they have dates and are up for pre-order. Surely that should be a temporary appeasement. It's like wanting more food when you haven't even bought your dinner yet!

Understand but responding to a post that I assumed they thought the titles were part of the new Universal deal, which we know is not.

Posting this Blu-ray release brought back memories of a near empty movie theater with perhaps 2-3 people in a rundown downtown movie theater in 1983. The movie was terrible, but I enjoyed it then because I was going through my Irene Cara phase.

There is one particular scene on a railroad track that I can still remember laughing out loud as it was pretty funny to me.

I was at a vinyl record convention a few months ago and came across this soundtrack, brought back some memories. This is a fun release.

Universal trying to repeat their success with Car Wash. A failed attempt, but funny in parts. I’m hooked. I’ll order it.

Yes patiently waiting for kino to put those titles on their site so i can preorder as they will be a couple dollars cheaper per title. Also If amazon is same way as they are with warner archive titles it will take them a month after release date to get them in stock.

This is actually a low point for pre order and ordered titles. Nothing on amazon and four titles ordered on amazon uk cloak and dagger and gaslight original british version bfi on way and preorder master of cinema buster keaton three films vol 2 and rio grande. Ill be preordering bunches as soon as kino puts new titles up. No criterion until july barnes and noble.

There's usually a 1 Day Flash Sale at Criterion's website in mid-February. It's only for in stock movies though, so I don't know if that helps you or not.

There is not a problem with Amazon shipping Kino titles. I always revive them release date and if the gods are favorable then the day before. Also the titles usually are lower than Kino site unless there is one of those fantastic sales. Which I have taken advantage off many times.

Coming April 14th on DVD and Blu-ray!

Time Limit (1957)
• Brand New 2K Master
• Optional English Subtitles
• Dual-Layered BD50 Disc
• Theatrical Trailer

How long can a man withstand torture... before he cracks? That's one of the probing questions asked in this tense and compelling Korean War drama starring screen greats Richard Widmark (The Secret Ways, Backlash, Judgment at Nuremberg) and Richard Basehart (The Satan Bug, Moby Dick, He Walked by Night). Former POW Major Harry Cargill (Basehart) has not only been charged with collaboration with the enemy, he’s even signed a confession. His court martial should be an open-and-shut case, except that his judge advocate, Colonel William Edwards (Widmark), is suspicious of its ease. Cargill refuses to answer questions or defend himself, but as Edwards investigates, he uncovers a horrifying truth that will shake the Army to its core. Directed by actor Karl Malden (his only directorial effort) and co-starring Dolores Michaels (Warlock), June Lockhart (She-Wolf of London), Carl Benton Reid (In a Lonely Place), Martin Balsam (After the Fox), Rip Torn (Extreme Prejudice) and Khigh Dhiegh (The Manchurian Candidate), Time Limit will hold you in suspense until its shockingly explosive climax!

It's too bad there isn't an audio commentary on this Blu-ray release as this movie project really tested the friendship between Star and Producer Richard Widmark and Director Karl Malden. Thankfully, they reconciled by the end of the movie and remained best friends throughout their lifetime. Anyhow, very happy to have this movie on Blu-ray, so thank you Kino.

Hoping for more 30s, 40s, 50s and early 60s titles from the Universal & Paramount libraries.

We said earlier that we have over seventy-five confirmed 30s, 40s and 50s titles in the new Universal deal. Do we need to hear this every time we announce something from the 70s and 80s?

And we have over twenty 60s titles.

Jenny (Marlo Thomas, TV’s That Girl and Friends) is unmarried, pregnant and alone in New York City. Delano (Alan Alda, Sweet Liberty, TV’s M*A*S*H) is a young filmmaker trying to avoid the Vietnam War draft. A chance meeting in Central Park leads to their friendship and mutual concern for each other, and they soon agree that the perfect solution to their problems is a “marriage of convenience.” Jenny will have a father for her baby and Delano will escape the draft.

Song of Norway (1970)

• NEW Audio Commentary by Film Historian/Author Lee Gambin and Film Historian/Author John Harrison
• 5.1 Surround and Lossless 2.0 Stereo
• Optional English Subtitles
• Dual-Layered BD50 Disc
• Trailers

142 Minutes Color 2.35:1 Rated G
From Andrew L. Stone, the acclaimed director of A Blueprint for Murder, Julie, Cry Terror!, The Last Voyage and Stormy Weather, comes this romantic musical based on the life of Norway’s greatest composer, Edvard Grieg (Toralv Maurstad, Black Palm Trees). Impoverished after graduating from a music conservatory, Grieg causes controversy by marrying his cousin Nina (Florence Henderson, Carol Brady of TV’s The Brady Bunch). Soon afterward, he has an affair with a former schoolmate, Therese Berg (Christina Schollin, Fanny and Alexander), a wealthy woman who makes a deal with her influential father to end the romance if he’ll arrange a concert for Grieg in Stockholm. Though his significance as an artist begins to find appreciation, the road to success proves to hold many personal compromises for Grieg. Screen legend Edward G. Robinson (Scarlet Street) leads a strong supporting cast that includes Robert Morley (When Eight Bells Toll) and Oskar Homolka (Billion Dollar Brain). Based on the successful operetta of the same name and gorgeously shot on location, Song of Norway is a breathtaking epic filled with Grieg’s magnificent music.
