Wow.
I actually saw both Mr. Wrong and Holy Man in theaters.
... how do they get a Blu-ray release before a thousand other titles deserving of one is beyond me.

I didn't see that disc. I'd imagine it's poor, but is it at least marginally better than DVD?

I'll probably be okay with my BU dvd of Keoma (which I love) over a Mill Creek blu unless they pull a miracle.

Ha, I bought Mr. Wrong on laserdisc just because I thought it had no chance of ever being released on DVD! Will have to watch it again soon and decide if it's worth the 5 bucks for the Blu-Ray upgrade (from what I remember, it was hardly worth buying on LD. The concept was good but it just really fell apart fast.) There's a few other titles on there I'll pick up.

In my mind, Mr. Wrong is the reason why Ellen DeGeneres is a lesbian.

Wow, I haven't thought about Terminal Velocity in years. I was watching this in the VHS days and almost fell off my chair when I saw a guy I knew in high school playing a supporting role. He was a big debater in school, and went on to act in some movies and TV but mostly did writing (Tonight Show and ESPYs, according to the usual online sources).

Rights update for the following (DVD triple features listed on their site). No BD releases for them yet but most should make an appearance before the end of the year it would seem.
A little troubling that 2.0 audio tracks and the wrong aspect ratio is listed for some of them. Hopefully those are either erroneous tech specs again or the BD releases won't duplicate those mistakes.
Big Trouble (2002)
Billy Bathgate (1991)
Blaze (1989)
Color of Night (1994)
Crew, The (2000)
Deceived (1991)
Doctor, The (1991)
Father Hood (1993)
First Do No Harm (1997)
Green Card (1990)
Hello Again (1987)
Hope Springs (2003)
Kazaam (1996)
Life with Mikey (1993)
Mr. Destiny (1990)
Mumford (1999)
Oscar (1991)
Playing God (1997)
Prefontaine (1997)
Rich Man's Wife, The (1996)
Roommates (1995)
Simple Twist of Fate, A (1994)
Spaced Invaders (1990)
Stella (1990)
Summer of Sam (1999)
Taking Care of Business (1990)
Two Much (1996)
Unstrung Heroes (1995)

With that announcement, I think everyone should prepare to add Kazaam to their collections.

I also noticed Mill Creek got the rights to Nixon and Swing Vote.
It looks like Swing Vote is already OOP based upon availability. I would assume we might see these getting Mill Creek releases in the future too.

I like Nixon and have the Hollywood Pictures BD already. I wouldn't mind seeing Billy Bathgate come to BD also.

The Camp Nowhere DVD had nothing on it. The Blu-ray is practically just the same, just now in 1080p and carrying DTS audio.

No love for any of the others? Is there much left in the catalog Mill Creek might have access to you are hoping for (Cradle Will Rock, Noises Off, Shoot to Kill, Captain Ron, etc.)?
At Mill Creek prices, I'm in for most. Some due to cast (like Blaze and Billy Bathgate which I remember being mostly meh but still worth revisiting). Some just for some lazy day entertainment as I find a number of them appealing with that in mind.
A handful that I thought were pretty good films/genre films (Mumford, The Doctor, Summer of Sam, Big Trouble, Green Card, Mr. Destiny, A Simple Twist of Fate, Oscar, Taking Care of Business, Unstrung Heroes).

Nice to see Terminal Velocity in that mix. That's a fun show. It's such a polished production that it seemed unlikely it was written for Charlie Sheen. I still watch the ending on occasion for kicks.

- Nostalgia warps any perception one has.
- It's cheap enough that our nostalgia would make us purchase it.
Super Mario Bros. would move more titles than fucking Mr. Wrong... and that's coming from someone who saw Mr. Wrong during its original theatrical release.
