Bitter Dregs

It's feeling like deepest winter here in MN. Damn it's cold! Good weather to stay indoors and watch movies...so let's take a look at the stuff coming out this week (pretty slow):

Aqua Teen Hunger Force: Vol. 6

Bottle Rocket (1996) Criterion releases their first set of BD releases this week. One nice thing: the prices are the same as the DVD versions.

Burn After Reading Also on BD.

Mamma Mia! Also on BD.

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008) Also on BD.

Petticoat Junction - The Official First Season

The Third Man (1949) Another of Criterion's initial BD offerings. It's mostly the same features as the 2006 DVD set. It sounds like they did a great job on this one and since I didn't pick up the 2006 version, I'm very interested in this; one of my favorite films. Check out DVD Savant's review here.

Finally, you film geeks might want to check out this site: http://www.flickr.com/people/nfig/ It's a Flickr group called the Nitrate Film Interest Group. Archives put up scans of film frames that they have not been able to identify and invite people to give them comments as to their origin. Interesting stuff.
