Here is this week’s DVD Court where we discuss the following films:
- Taken 2
- The Possession
- To Rome with Love
Pretty boring week for me, but maybe you guys have other opinions on those movies. Or maybe you’re picking other stuff up this week? I’m liking the Criterion releases this week, I’m sure I’ll be getting those. What about you guys?
Since you asked, I just got “The Jazz Singer” ON BLU-RAY!!!! So excited about this! Part of the Warner Bros. 90th Anniversary releases. Sooo happy!
Oooh, I saw that was being released. Have you cracked it open yet? Let me know how the release is.
Taken 2 huh…I wonder how many there will be?
I hear there is a third one in the works right now…
I have a special Al Jolson Jazz Singer on DVD or BluRay too. At work don’t recall which. It has scads of special commentaries, publicity stills and such.
As for DVD court this week I’ve only seen Woody Allen’s To Rome with Love. It was an odd mixture of stories. Only the Woody Allen story worked for me.
The Criterion editions are impressive… expensive to import though. That’s why I’ve only got a couple – Solaris (1972) and… y’know what, off the top of me head I can’t think what the other is… Oh, I think it’s Armageddon.
Nearest we’ve got in the UK is the Eureka series. I’ve got M, Metropolis, Silent Running, Frau Im Mond, Testament Of Dr Mabuse – all on blu, plus a few more of Fritz Lang’s on DVD. Eureka has done a superb job putting these editions together.
As much of a Criterion addict that I am…I prefer the Masters of Cinema series steelbooks. Those are all pure beauty.
Yeh, that’s them, Eureka Masters Of Cinema editions. I’ve got Metropolis & Testament Of Dr Mabuse in the steelbook case. I love the booklets, proper old school, loads of info. Come to think of it, looking at my list above, Frau Im Mond is a DVD not blu…
