Latest eye-sore:

I've never seen any of these but a line called "Martini Movies" sounds fun to me.
And the cover of THE ANDERSON TAPES looks like a DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER headshot. Because in this movie Sean Connery is balding.
Also be on the lookout and see if you can spot Al Pacino in THE ANDERSON TAPES towards the end in the background. He's wearing a white jumpsuit and walking around looking down.
It's when the police and everybody else is in the complex trying to figure out what happened.

February 3rd will bring us Five, Our Man in Havana, Getting Straight, Gumshoe and Vibes. Figures we'd get fucking Vibes before Husbands.

If you wait 5 years or so the prices will eventually come down. Sony priced the "Columbia Classics" line at around $20 for years and years, many can now be had for under $10. Still a few hold outs, Bell Book and Candle comes to mind.

Great news - Husbands will include some very nice looking extras! From the film's Criterion Forum thread:
Quote:
Special features include a commentary with Cassavetes biographer Marshall Fine, as well as interviews with Gazzara, producer Al Ruban (Faces) and cinematographer Victor Kemper (Dog Day Afternoon).
Glad to see Sony treat a catalog title so nicely.Special features include a commentary with Cassavetes biographer Marshall Fine, as well as interviews with Gazzara, producer Al Ruban (Faces) and cinematographer Victor Kemper (Dog Day Afternoon).

And with extras, just like the recent STRANGE ONES! I am glad Sony is finally delivering their library with extras!

Classy cover! HUSBANDS is probably my least favorite of Cassavetes' films (not counting BIG TROUBLE or A CHILD IS WAITING), but it's still a must have. Thanks, Sony!
Who owns LOVE STREAMS? It was a Cannon title, right? Is that with Warner now, or MGM? Neither choice is very good - if it's MGM, it will never come out. If it's Warner, it will eventually show up on a DVD-R.

THE NEW CENTURIONS disc is disappointing. It looks like they just "slapped it" into the film chain and let it go...the black levels in the night patrol scenes are HORRENDOUS!
I had to pick up the UK PAL release, for a decent transfer.

It is that bad? I was under the impression this was a recent transfer, as Sony is usually exceptional in their transfers, as they usually master it on Hi Definition..
