Why is Paramount releasing a Dreamworks/WB coproduction? Odd...

Paramount is not releasing this. Here is the statement from DavisDVD:

"Paramount's Hustle & Flow and the box office dud The Island street on December 6th."

Same date, different studios.

I'm surprised they are annoucing the DVD, considering the plagarism lawsuit and all.

I liked the movie enough to get the DVD. Hopefully more people will check it out after having a chance to actually KNOW what the movie is about.

I thought that might delay the dvd release, although I am very happy it didn't. I really liked the movie and can't wait for it to come out.

I thought this was a great, enjoyable summer movie. In fact, much better than I expected. Of course, I had no expectations because there had been next to no marketing for it.

Here's to hoping for a great transfer and a DTS-ES track.

Yeah, even with 24 screens at my local AMC, this one disappeared pretty quickly, so I never got a chance to check it out, eventhough I was quite interested in checking it out. Michael Bay tends to disappoint on a lot of levels (and I'll probably never forgive him for Pearl Harbor), but I actually did want to see this one. I'll most likely rent it first though.

I probably pick it up if there's a commentary by Bay. They're better than the movie itself.

Yep, that's what Bad Boys 2 was lacking.

The ad in the latest edition of Video Business says:

"A Behind-The-Scenes Look At The Creation Of The Film's Incredible Action Sequences And Harrowing Stunts"

"Commentary With Director Michael Bay"

"And More"

I hope there's a Michael Caine/David Warner commentary!

OK, stupid moviegeek jokes aside, I thought this was a damn entertaining movie, and this is coming from a guy who'd rather sit through novocaine-free root canal than watch Bad Boys 2 or Pearl Harbor again.

I'm not surprised the movie "bombed" in the U.S., but I liked it a lot.
