Thanks! That's the actual Imprint release?

Re: This Week's Aisle Seat: Imprint New Releases

Is it possible to order the Bounty release from someone other than Imprint -- i.e. someplace that isn't charging $30 shipping? :shock:

Re: rate the last movie you saw

FAMILY PLOT is a cut above those, mainly because of Williams' score and the cast (Barbara Harris especially), but I don't think it's "great" by any means and has a lot of the same "fatigue" issues. I think once we're past the convoluted "info dump" (that takes-up most ...

Re: This Week's Aisle Seat - A Smashing CONAN 4K Double Bill

He noted in an interview he didn't love the score and expected the movie to be different and more like the first movie -- and he was right. It needed more of a lightness of touch, something a little more sprightly and romantic. Instead he recycled sections of the first score but they're not well ap...

Re: rate the last movie you saw

The Sound of Freedom (7.5/10) A polarizing film, hailed by some as an important exposé of the most heinous criminal industry of all -- yet pilloried by others as right wing propaganda. Child trafficking is among the lowest, most venal acts imaginable, so I don't understand why a film which spotligh...

Re: Harriet...another film critic who Doesn't Get It

Going back to your original post tho, I've since seen Harriet , and have to admit that Blanchard's score did not serve the dramatic interests of the film very well, and was its weakest link. However, Gleiberman's description of the score as "Jerry Goldsmith-meets-Aaron-Copland" was way-off...

Re: rate the last movie you saw

The Gauntlet (7.5/10) Not one of Clint Eastwood's best, but a solid thriller with some satisfying action. I was never a fan of Sandra Locke, but she was Eastwood's muse for a long time and you kind of have to take her along if you want to enjoy any of Clint's work from the mid 70 to the 80s. The pa...

Re: Shout releases Unlawful Entry

I don't remember anything about the score. Was it really even worse than Where The River Runs Black?

Re: New Star Wars director

I wish you have the guts to admit your backlash is because of the gay characters. When you say "It's not the presence of gay characters that annoys people," it absolutely is. Basically you are saying, "I am ok with gay characters unless someone say something about them. Keep their im...

Re: Maestro -- Leonard Bernstein biopic

Is this going to get a Blu-ray release?

Or is Netflix going to prevent one so we have to pay $22 a month to watch it? :|

New Star Wars director

I am all for women directors (Sofia Coppola has done great work), I'm all for non-white directors (Antoine Fuqua is awesome), and in fact I consider Akira Kurosawa the greatest director of all time. But -- again -- this is Lucasfilm hiring a director with negligible experience in "high concept&...

Re: Changes to Amazon Prime Video (i.e. ads)

How about the option for turning off all end credits pop-ups shilling other stuff on Prime or that horrible "Next episode" thing for the extra surcharge? :? That would be nice too. I get so tired of being redirected to another movie (which is of no interest to me — and which amazon is cle...

Re: SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES and WATCHER IN THE WOODS Finally on Blu-Ray Via Disney Movie Club

The pacing needed more energy, it needed the narration and those shots of the fall and the Midwest landscape in Autumn, and to be honest, it needed Horner's score. According to Cinefantastique Magazine, Clayton and Bradbury were very unhappy about Disney's removal of the "house climbing" ...
