I just watched it tonight MJ. Loved the score which is really one of Herrmanns best. The story...let's just say it was something you could only do in the 70s lol. Watching THE FUNHOUSE now...with thanks to Arrow for sending off the first review discs I have ever gotten from the UK.

Been on an Arnold kick of late... CONAN THE BARBARIAN 9/10 This isn't just '80s nostalgia -- this John Milius film is seriously, absolutely good in every sense. Dynamic action, a story that actually pauses for character beats, James Earl Jones brilliant in every scene he's in, Arnold surprisingly co...

Andy, I've just heard on FSM that the Blu-Ray for Mad World doesn't have the Entr'acte. Is that correct? If it's true, then I'm afraid it just became a no-sale because if they can't keep something that's always been part of even the standard cut, then that's just a bad presentation. It's how MGM tr...

There's a really good discussion about DNR at about the 40 minute mark, particularly how Warners threw out their first transfer of CHARIOTS OF FIRE. The LEGEND material is in there too.

Some interesting tidbits in this 50-minute conversation from Comic-Con last week, talking about the distinct lack of BD catalog titles and the future of the format. Charlie de Lauzirika mentions the upcoming Fox overseas Blu-Ray of LEGEND will be the best of all three versions and that it looks &quo...

I liked that scene.

Me too -- but you can get it on the overseas Fox region-free BD disc.

You just wonder why stuff like this happens!

OK so it turns out the CONAN US Blu Ray is the 129 min. "international version." It's missing one 90 second scene where Arnold and Gerry Lopez talk while the princess is chained up: http://www.conancompletist.com/EN/moby01.htm That scene which Milius wanted back in was previously on the Sp...

CBS has done a real nice job with their recent catalog titles (Man Called Horse, Big Jake, Rio Lobo, Le Mans) so I'd expect SCROOGE to be fully worth the price.

Hopefully THE REIVERS will follow soon...either way I can honestly say THANK YOU VERY MUCH to CBS!

Full numbers...looks like CAP is going to just miss THOR's opening by a very small margin. Still an excellent opening since some analysts thought HP7 was going to beat it. 1. Captain America 3D (Marvel/Disney/Paramount) NEW [3,715 Runs] Friday $25.7M, Saturday $21.9M, Weekend $65.8M 2. Harry Potter/...

Agree MJ on the color scheme. 3-D made it worse, darkening the print obviously -- and what's worse for me, the local Showcase WAS showing it in 2-D, but their online listings had the 2-D show designated as 3-D! We went at 10:00 and I couldn't wait for the 2-D at 10:30, it was just too late for us. S...

So just to be clear about the different Blu-Rays: Conan the Barbarian Universal US release: 129 minute theatrical cut + commentary, deleted scenes, documentary, Conan Archives, special effects comparison (trailer?) Fox International Release: 131 min. extended, same extras as Universal release plus a...

Apparently only 39% of CAPTAIN AMERICA's gross was 3-D -- another sign of fading popularity for the format.

Any doubts that CAPTAIN AMERICA was going to suffer from "super hero itis" seem to be falling by the wayside tonight...they're looking at $65 million or just above which would place it ahead of THOR as the biggest super-hero opening of 2011. (That number is far above X-MEN and GREEN LANTER...

Captain America 8.5/10 As much as I liked THOR, Joe Johnston really nailed this film: confident, exciting, backed by a very strong Silvestri score, Chris Evans was terrific and the story was just pure, simple comic-book entertainment. The ending (and by that I mean the very last scene) was a bit odd...
