Three reasons:
1. Max
2. Von
3. Sydow

I guess it would be a decent special feature.

Doesn't MGM own the video rights to it now?

Never Say Never Again was not a EON related bond film. It was made after a legal battle over the writing of Thunderball. Fleming originally didn't give credit to Kevin McClory who later won the rights to the story and made his own version.

I was assuming that everyone was already well aware of this.

Yup, and there already is a blu-ray out, US region locked.

Mill Creek is now offering an exchange program for the Gamera 3 Blu-ray.

I ended up passing on the Lionsgate "The English Patient" and going for the Japanese Warner Bros. disc, which has all the Lionsgate extras (some were not on the UK or European discs)

Can't comment on the color scheme yet, but the disc is region free, quite cheap at 1500 yen, comes with Japanese menus only.

"Cold Mountain" was released in Japan the same day, but this one only carries deleted scenes as supplements, and none of the other extras.

Cronenberg's underrated eXistenZ is coming out on Blu May 01! Hooray! But from Echo Bridge... along with Malevolent and B Monkey... all on one Blu-ray... "Hooray"

I guess that means that porting over eXistenZ's extras are out of the question, even with the extra space of Blu! (Also as a big fan of B Monkey - Michael Radford's best film, just edging out Ninteen Eighty-Four in my affections, though it is a close thing - it is a shame that this film is not being treated better too. Have never heard of Malevolent!)

Poor eXistenZ...

I thought Malevolent was the slasher movie, but that's "Malevolence". Apparently, Malevolent is a Lou Diamond Phillips action "vehicle" directed by the guy who kept cracking wise in Deathstalker II. The other two are enticing, but considering they are probably DVD level transfers, all of this discussion is probably pointless.

Frank Capra's "Lady For A Day" (1933), from no-name company "Inception Media", suprisingly looks REALLY good.

Whoa, and it's got almost five minutes extra footage. It's a great film, I don't mind more of it!

I had this Blu-ray on my radar, but I was leery, as I expected it would just be another washed-out and soft-as-hell PD job. Now I'll definitely have to keep an eye on this company's future releases!

The extra footage is great news, and quite a surprise.


While I share your skepticism of no-name labels releasing classics on blu. I've had high hopes for this release since it's announcement because Lady for a Day isn't in the public domain. But speaking of Capra and the PD, can't anyone release a version of Meet John Doe that doesn't look like it's sourced from an old VHS? Few great films have been treated to as much contempt as that one. I guess no one thinks people will pay for a better version of a film available in cheap PD versions, but I would snap up a competent Blu-Ray of John Doe in a heartbeat.

Another one of my personal favorites is hitting Blu, Martin Ritt's the Long, Hot Summer, courtesy of Italian label Medusa

4 more Woody Allen BDs: Small TIme Crooks, Everyone Says I Love You, Mighty Aphrodite, Bullets Over Broadway from Kadokawa (Japan) May 11th 2012

One of my all-time favorite horror films, The Ring, arrives at Best Buy only on March 20th. Best Buy exclusives have become a bit of an obsession for some home media collectors, so I would order from their website now to lock down a copy for in-store pickup (beware: the lenticular slipcover will be covered in awfully difficult-to-remove stickers if you order for shipping, if such things are important to you.

Dread Central has scans of the cover art - pretty snazzy!

Remake or no remake, Yellow Submarine is supposedly coming in May.

Good to see it's making it's anamorphic debut.

And it's a great package!

Update: official press release also lists: Audio Commentary – Heinz Edelmann (Art Director) and John Coates (Producer)

Wish they had some of his uncompleted works as an extra or even just a mini-doc.

I just noticed that Alliance in Canada will be releasing BDs of Atom Egoyan's Exotica and The Sweet Hereafter next month. What's this company's track record?

If it's a port of an American release they're fine.

If it's their own you can count on it to at least border on disaster. Either the aspect ratio will be wrong, or it will be interlaced, or it will be upconverted, or just really, really suck overall.

Aren't all of their Blu-ray transfers 1080i?
