Like most (if not all) Woody Allen DVD releases, this will probably be as bare bones as they come - theatrical trailer and that's it.

Terrific movie, looking forward to seeing it again.

Awesome, and right before finals week, will be perfect when I need study breaks. Hopefully for once they throw some real extras into one of his releases.

Yet another movie from last year that I've been really wanting to see but haven't got around to it. I love Woody Allen, so I'll probably give this a blind buy.

From dvdactive.com:

Title: Match Point
Starring: Scarlett Johansson
Released: 25th April 2006
SRP: $29.99

Further Details:

Universal Home Video has today announced the Woody Allen directed Match Point which stars the likes of Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Rhys-Meyers, Emily Mortimer and Brian Cox. The film tells the story of a man being torn apart by his desire for two very different women. Marrying Chloe (Emily Mortimer) will bring him a life of wealth and success, but his true passion lies with his brother-in-law's fiancee, the stunningly sensuous but ever unpredictable Nola (Scarlett Johansson). The film itself will be presented in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen, along with an English Dolby Digital 2.0 Mono track. Extra material has yet to be confirmed. You'll be able to own this one from the 25th April, priced at around $29.99. Stay tuned for art.

I had several chances to see this, but never did. Will definitely be checking this out. However, the only thing I don't like about Allen releases is he still uses mono sound.

Yeah, but his movies aren't exactly audio demo material. Although Match Point does have one particular scene that could've done with a little LFE action.

His new movies are basically the only ones that are released in mono only. Even talky dramas get a 5.1 mix.

Definitely will pick this up, one of my top 5 of 2005... I can somewhat understand Allen not putting special features on there (maybe he just doesn't like that stuff), but how 'bout DD5.1?

Well, since theatrically the movie was presented in MONO, they didn't ever create a dd5.1 mix. I loved this flick, and any Allen fan shouldn't be let down. Definitely picking this one up.

Funny, but I didn't even notice the mono sound in the theater, and I bet you wouldn't at home either unless you knew about it ahead of time. People get worked up over the littlest things.

I noticed the mono sound in the theater, but only because I knew that's how Wood-yi shot his movies and was on the lookout for it.
