Just got back from that Fox Home Video place. Picked up my copy of Deep Red on DVD which i’d ordered like… a month ago or something. Also picked up a copy of Pi. Darren Aronofsky’s first movie.
You know. That guy who made Requiem For A Dream.
Only like one of the best movies ever.
If not only for the fact that Jennifer Connelly’s in it.
Specaking of Jennifer Connelly, she actually once starred in one of Dario Argento’s movies. The guy who made Deep Red.
Much like how Takeshi Kitano is known for his silence and violence movies, Dario Argento is known for all his giallo movies. Suspense thriller/slasher movie. Just so happens that Deep Red is one of his better ones if not the best.
Two other movie that you might wanna check out are Tenebre and Suspiria. I probably would’ve gotten Opera (another one of his better movies… there are a coupla stinkers in there… the one which Jennifer Connelly being one…) but they didn’t have it in stock so i got Pi instead.
I was thinking of getting Blood Simple (old Coen Brothers movie) but it was a pretty bog standard disc. The same can be said about Deep Red but it’s an Argento movie. But that alone makes it worth buying.
If i’d known that there was a double feature DVD with Deep Red and Tenebre included in one package, i probably would’ve ordered that version instead. But i didn’t so i’m stuck with the bare bones edition of Deep Red.
Two trailers, talent bios and a 10 minute 25th Anniversary featurette. Bleh.
Well at least the movie’s presented in it’s uncut, uncensored, full length director’s cut.
Oh and i also picked up the DTS Collector’s Edition of Jurassic Park.
Aaaaannnd…
…the two disc set 60th Anniversary Commemorative Edition of Pearl Harbor!
The only thing that really sucks about getting Pearl Harbor now is that i’m gonna have to buy it again… two more times… next year.
Because:
“Buena Vista is releasing not one but three versions of Pearl Harbor on DVD … well, two and a half, actually. The edition reviewed here is the two-disc 60th Anniversary Commemorative Edition (of the attack itself, not the film) which is a two-disc set with a few worthwhile though not extensive extras. Buena Vista is also releasing a special collector’s pack that contains the Commemorative Edition along with the National Geographic special Beyond The Movie: Pearl Harbor bundled as a bonus disc. Due next spring is the real crown jewel, the Vista Series 3-disc set that includes a new director’s cut of the film, and tons more extras. Oooh, can’t wait!”
Buena Vista is evil.
Anyway, i guess it’s time to update that darn list again.
Blah. I’m too lazy. I’ll do it tomorrow. Nobody ever checks out that page anyway.
