I was about to post in the Vinegar Syndrome thread when I realized this label is on their own now (or at least not with OCN, anyway). I'm not sure how well their stuff sells compared to the previous arrangement, and I doubt we'll ever see them do decent sales, but they do have some interesting stuff slated for the months ahead, so I figured it might be worth having a dedicated thread.

BAD COMPANY (1972) comes out in August:




Canada's own aerobics-fest HEAVENLY BODIES (1984) follows in October:




And the Phoebe Cates skin-fest PARADISE (1982) another Canadian production, also comes out in October (trailer below is NSFW):

Yes!!! Finally!! This one is long overdue ... my Willie Aames collection will now be complete!

This was announced back in September and I guess it’s available now. It’s a trailer comp (plus other stuff) with a New York City bent: WELCOME TO FUN CITY. I like their editions but can’t do their pricing unless they grow enough to have better sales (some standards editions are discounted to $22 right now, but still a bit steep for me). For those interested in trailer comps, though, this might be cool.

They’ve also added RACING WITH THE MOON and LIFEGUARD in recent months.

Baby It’s You next year.

I'll snag that. We need more John Sayles on physical media period.

Agreed. Last year was nice with Lonestar and City of Hope getting releases.

Baby It's You already had a release from Olive, but I assume this will have a better a transfer.

I watched Joyride the other day and found it pretty entertaining. It’s one of those it only could have been released in the 70s film. But I did like it enough to where I’d consider buying it when it goes on sale/discount.

I got this one for a decent price in Unobstructed View’s post-Christmas sale, mainly to watch the film again but with bonus features. The old MGM DVD was barebones (and non-anamorphic, I think), but I did unload it ages ago for a nice sum. I was planning to wait until VS put out a standard edition, but some of these Cinématographe titles seem to be such slow sellers (and odd choices for such fancy over-packaging) that that might not necessarily happen.

Oops I totally blanked out that Joyride was a Cinematographie release and not a FCE release.

I did see one film that was featured on Fatal Femmes release. I saw the film starring Isabelle Huppert (The Bitch). It was a solid film, I’m partial towards Huppert and am a fan of hers.

Didn't realize City of Hope had been released on BD, and from Sony.

I'd get the CC BD of Matewan but have a feeling it's gonna get a 4K release. The CC BD is already taken from a 4K source, so...

Wow, so did I when I replied! And I even called it a Cinématographe release without realizing what thread I was in! Too many partner labels. And to be honest, the kinds of titles on FCE and Cinématographe are totally interchangeable.
