The claim that the two-series set would only be available for 24 hours must have been Fox "hype" because it remains on sale in stores. As does E.T. which I recall was also to be withdrawn at...

The new Wellspring release of Ran is region-free

The transfer for the new release is one big improvement on the Fox Lorber copy, thank heavens. It's already - I think - been documented that it isn't perfect but I'm very thrilled by what is now...

One of the worst packages must be the sleeve for King of Comedy. It looks as though it's been designed by Rupert Pupkin. It's a shame this has just been thrown out on the cheap because the movie is...
