First two films announcements for May via The Extras Podcast:

• Border Incident (1949)
• Clash By Night (1952)

Jerry Beck also joined George and Tim to announce Looney Tunes: Collector's Choice (Volume 1).

The rest of the May slate will be announced in a future episode of The Extras.

I wonder which of us guessed those two movies. Hell, George gave us enough hints during that Prince and the Showgirl podcast.

Based on this podcast, I think “Clash by Night” is coming soon on Blu-ray.

With only 2 days left in February, do you think we are scheduled for April Bluray announcements either Monday or Tuesday ? For Mr Fs well being I hope so - that poor man gets more grief (not saying here) some one posted on the Warner Catalog page that Tim Milllard does that even getting review...

Yup, but it could be Border Incident. Both titles will make this Noir buff very happy.

Well, this is only Part I of the May announcements, so we’re pretty much guaranteed more releases for May, as Robert noted. Hoping we get official announcements for the two epics in Part II.

As most of you probably already know, movie zyng is having a sale on many Warner Archive titles. These are the titles I picked up today that I've never seen before: Million Dollar Mermaid, Moonfleet, Ride the High Country, and Summer Stock. The two titles I've already seen that I got are Night Moves and The Frisco Kid, both of which I like quite a bit.

"Clash By Night" and "Border Incident". A pair of extra-fine titles. Not the two Ancient World epics (from Mr. Wise and Mr. Hawks) I was expecting. But it's still excellent news. And I'll be grabbing both "Clash" and "Border" the minute they're grabbable. Tomorrow I'll have to run out and buy more incense to burn to Isis or Zeus or Mr. Feltenstein in hopes of fast-tracking Blu-ray releases of those antiquity blockbusters from the 50's.

So far so good. Two good films.

Well, I'm absolutely nuts about the Looney Tunes Blu that's upcoming - not May, but soon, apparently. 1940s and 1950s titles, all new to Blu, some never on DVD. Volume 1 with more if sales justify, contents already being planned.

Great!!! Another Anthony Mann title!!!

Looney Tunes: Collector's Choice (Volume 1)

I'm gonna need to see what shorts they have planned for that and how many per release.... but the Vol 1 gives me hope that maybe some true hidden gems may finally arive

Beanstalk Bunny and Catch As Cats Can are the two that Jerry Beck mentioned on the podcast.

3rd times a charm, Maybe we could get Lumber Jack-Rabbit is a 1953 3-D in it's proper aspect ratio and DEPTH. come on it's their only 3D cartoon in the LT/MM group,

Or is that something that you think they would save for a possible future 3D Feature release as one of the bonus features because WB still has some wanted 3D titles that have yet to a 3D BD release.

Warner has shown no interest in releasing 3D titles and I don't expect that stance to change -- especially when format adoption is not increasing.

I'm not sensing much enthusiasm for Border Incident or Clash by Night, both worthy but not top tier, although the latter will appeal to Stanwyck or Monroe completists. I'm in no hurry to upgrade these but have been buying other WA titles recently. Interesting that they are MGM and RKO titles though.

Both DVDs are mediocre at best. These Blu-rays will be a significant upgrade unlike some prior Blu-ray releases of films in which the previously released DVDs were really good too, but at 480p.

I can't speak about The Cisco Kid but I have the other five titles, and I can assure you that you've chosen well: five really good discs.

I'm enthusiastic and I'm buying both discs.

I'm a bit disappointed there was no talk of the epics. Not really interested in film noir anymore, I do like a bit of bling in my old movies (but that's me).
