I picked up the Region 2 Special Edition last year and enjoyed it truthfully a lot more than SHAUN. I don't know why they don't do a DVD over here, but it's possibly the fact that Brit-coms don't sell as well on this side of the Atlantic, sadly. Certainly a worthwhile and often uproarious show howev...

Still no date Roman on the US ALEXANDER...the specs and date have yet to be confirmed. I'm guessing sometime in July by this point, possibly early August.

Im suprised that there is anybody willing to give Stone some extra money to recut the movie... it bombed so badly, why even lose more money??? Those who didnt like it wont give it a second chance, and if Iam in a store and have to chose between "original version" and "recut version&q...

Until he puts the original cuts out on DVD though, he won't be getting any money from me. The old CAV LD boxed set (with the films transferred to DVD) more than satisfies me now. I'm with you Eric, I did the same thing late last year. That cut footage was one of my hang-ups with the DVD box he rele...

Oliver Stone has apparently confirmed that he's re-cut ALEXANDER, streamlining the structure of his original version. He claims both his original version and the re-cut edition will be released on DVD, though overseas, only the theatrical cut will be available (which I assume for bad movie lovers wi...

What a surprise!! ;) George Lucas confirmed a few things at the Indianapolis comic convention he attended over the weekend, namely: -There's a 6 DVD set of the whole series coming out with a possible bonus DVD showing CUT SCENES from the original Trilogy. No surprise here, as their absence was one o...

or it just got Lynch`s attention and he doesn`t want this to happen, like that incident with the LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS DVD... But the deal is that DUNE really isn't "his" movie -- it's Dino DeLaurentiis'. He owns it, and that TV cut has been released EVERYWHERE else in the world except f...

Universal must have been MUCH further along with their new DUNE DVD than we thought. There's a full-color ad insert for it in the new 12 MONKEYS DVD I received today stating "Extended Edition" with "all-new bonus features." It also states that it's "Also Available," mea...

A couple of items of note: Roman mentioned to me that ALEXANDER is coming out overseas in a variety of Special Edition DVDs (davisdvd.com has specific details). There's supposed to be a 3-disc HK DVD edition but apparently it's been pulled (at least no websites carry any info on it anymore). If anyo...

Michael Bay is the man bringing back THE HITCHER. He hopes to make the lead a female, and once again Jessica Biel's name is being thrown around. After TEXAS CHAINSAW and AMITYVILLE HORROR, I have absolutely no hope this movie will turn out well. http://www.moviehole.net/news/5477.html The original r...

Scorehead, I opted to carry it over as a capsule for the magazine column, which I literally just finished. The set was nice, but I was never really a big aficionado of the series...kind of seemed stuck between X-Files leftovers and its own intentions. Then again, it wasn't all bad -- something that ...

deseveredly so!!! I hated the japanese original already and thought bringing in the director of that is not a good idea and now eveybody knows why. How on earth anyone could like the japanese RING and say the US remake is crap is beyond me. I found RINGU the Japanese version to be dull. The pacing ...

OK I think I've gotten to the bottom of this. Talk about confusing, though it ultimately sounds like what we were thinking.... Here's an excerpt from Stellan Skarsgard's website (http://www.stellanonline.com/exorcistschrader.html), with Paul Schrader commenting on the score: -------------- "I w...

I agree about Angelo. He's done some interesting, weird work -- along with some nice conventional scoring as well (Christmas Vacation, Cousins).

Let's see if it turns out to be true.

Angelo Badalamenti is listed now on the IMDB (along with Tevor Rabin)...it's weird that the movie has been screened but nobody has commented on it.
