Nominated for 19 Emmy Awards and winner of the Golden Globe for
best miniseries, HBO's Band of Brothers makes it way to
DVD on 11/5. Spread over 6-discs, this mega-collector's set includes
anamorphic widescreen transfers, Dolby Digital and DTS tracks,
lots of extras, and more. Check out the press
release for the full scoop...
'Spy' games - 12:04am
Even though Spy Kids 2 has yet to arrive in theaters,
and before anyone even knows if the film will be a hit, it hasn't
stopped director Robert Rodriquez from already planning the third
in the "trilogy," as well as an eventual DVD box set
once all three are done. As fans are painfully aware, the current
Spy Kids DVD is devoid of extras, so when is the special
edition finally going to arrive? According to Rodriquez as quoted
in Latino
Review, not until at least Christmas 2003. "I think
I'll wait until then to do a triple box set that has all the making
of's," he stated, adding that he'd rather "do just one
big thing, so I don't have to sell the people the same movie twenty
times." Well, ain't that nice to hear for once? Now, only
a little over a year to go...
In search of 'Dogma' - 12:04am
Speaking of lost documentaries, remember that "Judge Not:
In Defense of Dogma" doc that fans never saw? Pulled at the
last minute from Columbia's otherwise-excellent two-disc Dogma
special edition released last year, now fans can finally see what
all the fuss is about...if they don't mind getting a little Vulgar.
Lions Gate will release the View Askew film in separate R-rated
and unrated editions, the latter featuring an extra 3 minutes
of footage, and both versions will include anamorphic widescreen
transfers, a Dolby 5.1 surround track, audio commentary with director
Bryan Johnson and producers Kevin Smith and Scott Mosier, deleted
scenes, a gag reel, and... the full Judge Not: In Defense of Dogma
documentary. Retail is $24.95 for either version.
Street date alert - 12:04am
Just announced from Koch Releasing is a 9/24 street date for
Carl Sagan's highly acclaimed and influential masterwork Cosmos.
This 7-disc set will include the entire miniseries plus extras,
with full specs still to be announced. Retail is $129.95, and
stay tuned for more...
