Has Lionsgate released Discreet Charm yet?

[knives]

Nope.

One From The Heart Bluray.com review gives PQ 1 star...

[hearthesilence]

Nope.

The Euro BD is one of the main reasons I got a region free mod for my Blu-Ray player. I just sold my (still sealed) Criterion DVD and used that money to order the BD. The money that was left over was more than what I paid for the mod kit.

[Michael Kerpan]

Nope.

Apparently there is BR released in Canada -- I wonder if this is the same as the Euro releases?

Looks on the face of it like a direct port...at least of the disc artwork. I have the StudioCanal disc and it is oh-so-worth-it.

One From The Heart Bluray.com review gives PQ 1 star...

A different take from Robert Harris. Maybe because the release didn't come from Olive. See the last post where he mentions blu-ray.com review

[captveg]

Sounds very similar to the issue some people had with Criterion's Howards End Blu-ray.

Like Water for Chocolate (1992)


Can never figure this company out...

[knives]

What's to figure? It's an extremely popular film adapted from an extremely popular book.

[domino harvey]

You need past-tense at least once in that reply

[knives]

What do you mean?

[captveg]

What's to figure? It's an extremely popular film adapted from an extremely popular book.

It's just that their releases are so infrequent and seemingly random. And there would be other titles in the Miramax catalog that would seemingly be more profitable for them that go unreleased.

September 30th



It was between this and all of those OOP Criterion films they have...

[domino harvey]

Finally, Leprechauns 2, 5, and 6 in glorious hi-def. Will be tossing all the other coasters in the set

[PfR73]

YESSSS "Lep In The Hood (Come To Do No Good)" in lossless audio!!

[EddieLarkin]

The new one is a reboot and doesn't even have Warwick Davis in it, so seems out of place in this set. It's getting a stand alone release as well anyway! Coaster indeed...

[domino harvey]

The new one is a reboot and doesn't even have Warwick Davis in it

The first line of Wikipedia's entry is a wild ride:

The Leprechaun returns in the horror reboot starring WWE wrestler Hornswoggle

[EddieLarkin]

First line? It's the only line! I've never seen "Hornswoggle" perform but if this means that the characters after his pot of gold will be punished with wrestling moves, I'm all in.

[CSM126]

I have seen Hormswoggle perform and I am certain he doesn't know any wrestling moves.

[domino harvey]

It appears LionsGate have licensed some of the former Echo Bridge Miramax titles, as evidenced by pre-orders being up for the Faculty, the Prophecy collection, the Hellraiser collection, and the Children of the Corn collection
