...according to the usual news 'n scoops sites. Can't say I'm surprised, and I don't really understand why it's a big deal, either. LAST CRUSADE scored a PG-13, and the other Indy films were PG (okay, so Temple of Doom started that rating in the first place, but it's still technically a PG!), so wha...

Eric -- welcome aboard. Good to see you here.

One thing to look out for is if Universal's mono track on the new JAWS DVD....is taken directly off the stereo re-mix, just downmixed for mono. Stranger things have happened...

Very strange. Can you send it back? My 2nd disc definitely has unique episodes on the two sides, no repeats for sure.

Scorehead --
They're there on my review copy. Is this a widespread problem, or did you just get a copy that was defectively manufactured?

While it will be great to have the full-length, 2-hour Laurent Bouzereau documentary preserved on DVD (it's one of the best ever done), the real reason to applaud this double-dip is that Universal is finally providing the film's original mono soundtrack (which earned one of the film's three Oscars,...

Shades of the SWAMP THING DVD recall! Looks like MGM might have another recall on their hands -- the DVD of C.H.O.M.P.S. they're putting out next week has the G-rating on the packaging but the movie is definitely the original PG-rated version where one of the dogs spouts four letter words!! (Leonard...

More rumors (and confirmation rumors) from the IMDB: "Producers of the forthcoming James Bond sequel have refused to comment on reports British star Daniel Craig has won the coveted superspy role. Craig, 37, was in competition with Closer star Clive Owen for the part of the spy, after Pierce Br...

I've been down on 007 since the dawn of the Brosnan era. Not that a few of the movies haven't been entertaining in a mindless American action movie kind of way, but rather that the atmosphere and aura that is "James Bond" has been increasingly diminished throughout the course of his films....

Mike, I'm with you. JAWS is one of my all-time favorites. In fact, growing up, I was more into JAWS than even STAR WARS...maybe it's because I live in New England (same as you did growing up) and feel a connection with the film, and also because I've been to Martha's Vineyard a handful of times, par...

http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/afp/20050406/ennew_afp/afplifestylefilmbritainbondpeople_050406114945 Since this is running on Yahoo's front page I'm more likely to believe it than the usual online "news" sites (which yesterday had Brosnan returning!). I know nothing about Dan...

Elia Cmiral?? There's another WHATEVER HAPPENED TO... flash in the pan

Just got caught up on a few news items: -Kal Penn & Parker Posey are playing Lex Luthor's hench-people in SUPERMAN? Sounds good to me. Penn was really funny in "Harald & Kumar" and Posey is goofy enough to pull that off. I was thinking more along the lines of Valerie Perrine but I'...

Damn! Eric's right, NOW we're talking!! :) This is really good news. I think Lynch at this point in his career probably figures "why not?" Really, why not try and salvage the movie -- if anyone CAN make semblance out of it, it's definitely him. I'm guessing this may not happen now until 20...

Just ran through MGM's new AMITYVILLE HORROR box set and saw the free ticket for the April 15th remake. The "sneak preview" of the remake actually looked promising...though admittedly it wouldn't take much to top the original film, which was OK but kind of silly. The best element of the DV...

We'll see this sooner or later.

Maybe they'll add a Politically Correct opening statement like Kiefer Sutherland did on 24 a few weeks ago when it comes out.
