DVD News

One of the most requested TV Shows ever is finally coming to DVD!!! For years US Consumers had two options to get their Six Million Dollar Man fix – either pick up a bootleg set at a comic book convention (which I’ve been tempted to do) or get the Import Version. Now Time Life Home Video is putting the entire series out. It’s going to contain all 100 episodes, all the TV Movies, Bionic Woman Crossover Episodes (Big Foot) and over 15 hours of additional stuff. Time Life is going to make the set available exclusively through a special website. It’s Time Life so I shudder to think how much they are going to charge for this set.  Check out the full release after the break.

Pinapple Express is coming to Blu-ray, January 6, 2009. It’s going to be full featured disk with an unrated version, deleted scenes, fifteen behind-the-scenes featurettes and a bonus Digital Copy of the movie for playback on PC, PSP™ and iTunes. Also coming with BD Live functionality. Which at this point I could care less about, has there ever been an implimentation of BD Live that wasn’t craptastic? What I want to know is why doesn’t any of the studios support the picture in picture stuff? This why I always thought HD-DVD was a better format, there were actually standards, you always knew what you were getting.  Anyhoo, on paper this seems like it’ll be a pretty nice package. The full press release is after the jumpity jump.

One of the great classics is getting the loving special edition DVD Treatment. Next week, The 7th Voyage of Sinbad, 50th Anniversary Edition hits the streets October 7th (next week).  This colorful adventure is the screen version of one of the classic tales from “1001 Arabian Nights.” It tells the story of Sinbad (Kerwin Mathews) and Princess Parisa (Kathryn Grant).  When they unexpectedly stop on the island of Colossa on their way to Baghdad, they find themselves battling all types of dangers, such as evil magicians, a man-eating Cyclops, a fire-breathing dragon, and a sword-wielding skeleton. Directed by Nathan Juran (20 Million Miles to Earth, First Men ‘In’ the Moon), the newly remastered film stars Kerwin Mathews (The 3 Worlds of Gulliver), Kathryn Grant (Anatomy of a Murder), Richard Eyer (The Invisible Boy), and Torin Thatcher (Witness for the Prosecution). The DVD contains an audio commentary by Ray Harryhausen, visual effects experts Phil Tippett and Randall William Cook, author Steven Smith and producer Arnold Kunert; six featurettes: Remembering The 7th Voyage of Sinbad in which Ray Harryhausen reflects back on the 50th anniversary with a look at the film, drawings, artwork, models, etc., The Harryhausen Legacy; The Music of Bernard Herrmann with Herrmann biographer Steven Smith; A Look Behind the Voyage with interview footage; This is Dynamation; and Ray Harryhausen Interview by Director John Landis, plus the music video Sinbad May Have Been Bad, But He’s Been Good To Me.

"Joel, sometimes you gotta stop being a Pussy and just say ‘What the Fuck.’"  Remember where you were when you first saw the classic Risky Business? This was the film that changed a generation and launched Tom Cruise into the stratosphere. Risky Business was that perfect storm of timing, edge, story, and one of the best movie Soundtracks – ever. In celebration of it’s 25th Anniversary the folks at Warner Home Video are tripple dipping and bring us a brand new DVD Deluxe edition set and a Blu-ray edition. Check out the full press release.
