"How can a train be lost? It's on rails."
So, did any of you watch the Oscars last night? I skipped them again this year. Just couldn't get too excited about it somehow.
Here's what we have coming up this week:
30 Days of Night (2007) Also on Blu-Ray.
Beowulf (2007) Also being released on HD-DVD: there are some titles that were already in the pipeline when the format's demise was announced.
Death at a Funeral (2007)
The Last Emperor (1987) Criterion issues a new version (and the old one really stinks) of this epic, complete with theatrical and extended versions. There is some controversy over this one since the director and DP asked Criterion to transfer the film cropped to a 2.0:1 aspect ratio (the film was shot and projected 2.35:1). Check out a review thread here.
Newhart: Season 1 (1982)
Silk (2007)
Slipstream (2007) Anthony Hopkins acts, writes, and directs...
The Smurfs: Season 1: Vol. 1 (1981) All you children of the 80s have been waiting for this, haven't you?

You didn't miss much. We bailed after 2/3 into it. The best part for me was when they showed one of the clips they supposedly, due to the strike, assembled in anticipation of a writer-less version of the ceremonies: "The Academy's Tribute to Binoculars"…a montage of famous POV shots through figure-eight shaped binocular shots! That was followed by a montage of people bolting up in bed awaking from nightmares.
