Re: DVD Talk review of 'Hero'

Note that a BluRay edition of Hero is coming out 9/15. I have no further information, but maybe Boba should wait and see what the new edition holds.

Early Scorsese trio

The three are THE BIG SHAVE (1967), ITALIANAMERICAN (1974) and AMERICAN BOY (1978). I just stumbled across them on eBay so I can't tell you if they're any good. But it's Scorsese…

I'm envious. The Emigrants and (especially) The New Land were really great films, and any laserdiscs of them are snatched up at (for me) wildly unrealistic prices.

How about the three early...

I have the laserdisc of Caligula, and am not going to pour any more money into that hole. But there's one thing running through the entire film that convinced me it was done by an absolute amateur....

The new Olevia 37-incher got a rave review from Consumer Reports. (They even gave a Best Buy to a larger model.) I don't know whether to trust them or not, but thought you might be interested.

"Black Rain"—no, not *that* one!

By a ridiculous twist of fate, Black Rain (1989) was released the same year as Black Rain (1989). The one I'm talking about is Shohei Imamura's quietly ironic look at the fallout (both literally and...

Yeah but it's "Song of the South"!!

This is irrelevant, but I'd just like to point out that "Song of the South," in any of its manifestations, goes for a hefty premium on eBay. So you might be able to unload your PAL tape and come out...
