'Pop' goes the world - 12:09am
Just announced over at The Criterion Collection website
is The Complete Monterey Pop Festival, a new 3-disc set

Welcome to Sing-Sing - 12:09am
Coming on 11/12 from Columbia TriStar are the first-ever DVD
releases for a couple of largely forgotten B-flicks, the John
Candy and Eugene Levy comedy Armed & Dangerous, and
the Brad Davis and Sharon Stone actioner Cold Steel. Each
is presented in anamorphic widescreen (Dangerous also includes
a full frame transfer), English 2.0 surround, and extras that
include only bonus trailers. Retail is $24.95 each.
And those anxiously awaiting that Mad About You: The Complete
First Season set, you're going to have to wait a little longer...the
street date has been bumped back a week to 10/22. Features and
