​ CELEBRATING ITS 25TH ANNIVERSARY

​ DEBUTS ON 4K ULTRA HD™ OCTOBER 15TH

​ SYNOPSIS The hit of the 1999 Sundance Film Festival, AMERICAN MOVIE is the hilarious and intense story of one man's obsession to make movies. Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, is a long way from Hollywood, but Mark Borchardt has a dream. Armed with a driving ambition and nothing to lose, the fast-talking Borchardt enlists friends, local thespians and unwilling family members to help him finish his no-budget horror film, COVEN. The camera doesn't flinch as it captures every emotional crisis and financial pitfall in his two-year odyssey. What emerges is a bizarre, yet surprisingly heartfelt, documentary portrait of a true American character.

Will I buy this yet again, even though the improvement from Blu to 4K is likely to be minimal? Yep, one of my faves.

 

[Jeffrey D]

Not familiar with this one. Sounds interesting.

 

[Bryan^H]

Well…this sucks.
I didn’t really want to buy this again so soon after the Blu-Ray release.

But it is one of my all time favorite films, so more money to Sony it is.

That Blu-Ray release must have sold like hotcakes in March for Sony to have streamlined another disc release So soon.

Will COVEN ("coh-ven") also be remastered in 4K? Probably not.

 

[Worth]

Well, that’s an odd choice. Not exactly a title that screams out for a 4K release.
