New DVDs

I just added a few more DVDs to my collection:

  • Looney Tunes Golden Collection : a 4 DVD set containing 58 uncut Looney Tunes cartoons. Lots of good ones, but plenty good ones missing, like What's Opera, Doc. Guess I'll have to wait for the Golden Collection II.
  • Master and Commander : I'm a huge Aubrey & Maturin fan, having read the entire series, and am working my way back through it. The Books On Tape version, with Patrick Tull reading it, is simply amazing! This was the last movie I actually saw in the movie theater, and the sound and picture was completely immersing. Probably going to lose a little on my TV, but hey, it still should be a good demo disc.
  • The Sopranos Second Season. A friend of mine just gave me this. We watched the first season together after gaming was over for the evening, so we'll work our way through this one too. Great stuff.

Masters of Cinema

Masters of Cinema - HOME

Here's what The Scout Report has to say about it:

While it is relatively easy to find information on the latest romantic comedy vehicle from 20th Century Fox or the latest apocalyptic disaster from Warner Brothers, finding substantial material online about quality foreign films and classics of various cinematic movements is a bit trickier. Fortunately for cineastes, there is the Masters of Cinema website, which provides links to information about DVD releases of such films, along with articles about their technical specifications and clarion calls to the companies providing such releases. From their mainpage, visitors can learn about upcoming releases, read articles about such auteurs as Bruno Dumont and view wish lists from well-known film critics as Jonathan Rosenbaum of the Chicago Reader. The site also has a nice links page, which is divided topically into areas such as directors, online cinema writing, and DVD review pages.

Long time

Yup, it's been a long time, no post. Too busy at work to even watch movies, never mind write about them! But I do have a few more reviews to get to, and I did finally watch a Netflix movie last night, Perfect Blue

Also, be sure to read about the cool link I just posted: Masters of Cinema
