America Lost and Found: The BBS Story
B&N has America Lost and Found: The BBS Story boxset at 50% off right now. Not sure if these codes are still active D4M4X9Y and C3N8F7W, but I used the first one for an extra 15% off the sale price. My favorite Criterion release of the year. | | Monday, November 8th, 2010 | 1:27 pm

Has this community been dead or what? Anyways, B&N is doing another 50% off sale on all Criterion titles until Nov. 21st. In-store and online. Good time to get some new release or pick up a few old ones. I pre-ordered Antichrist, Night of The Hunter, and Modern Times. Then picked up House, Paths of Glory, Breathless, and The Magician (awesome Bergman film) on bluray for $17.99 each using the Library check out for Barns & Noble. | | Monday, July 12th, 2010 | 5:39 pm

Alphaville Carlos Saura’s Flamenco Trilogy (Eclipse Series 6) Le corbeau Coup de torchon Diary of a Country Priest The Fallen Idol Forbidden Games (Criterion and Essential Art House editions) Gervaise (Essential Art House edition) Grand Illusion (Criterion and Essential Art House editions) Le jour se lève (Essential Art House edition) Last Holiday (Essential Art House edition) Mayerling (Essential Art House edition) The Orphic Trilogy Peeping Tom Pierrot le fou (DVD and Blu-ray editions) Port of Shadows Quai des Orfèvres The Small Back Room The Tales of Hoffmann (Criterion and Essential Art House editions) Trafic Le trou Variety Lights (Essential Art House edition) The White Sheik confirmed via Criterion's latest newsletter. all titles are marked down in price by $5.00 on their official site, until all titles are sold out. I already own Pierrot le fou on blu-ray, but are any other titles worth picking up before the market price is driven waaay up? | | Sunday, November 22nd, 2009 | 7:16 pm

Borders sale
Sorry for the late notice, but Borders is again having their 40% off single and double disc DVDs (including Blu Ray). The sale ends today, so that leaves a lot of people with around five hours... but if you read this in time, I hope you can get a deal on some Criterion or Kino discs! It's good on Borders.com as well. coupon linkOh, in order to receive the discount on up to three films, you need to be a Rewards member. Here's the link to sign up. If you're going to a store, you can do it there also. | | Saturday, July 19th, 2008 | 11:58 am

Alex Cox's Walker
Hello, I just blindly purchased Walker (since Borders had a 40% off DVD sale for the past two days). However, after reading several reviews, I've determined that perhaps this was one of the worst Criterions to do that with... but I'm still hopeful. If similar to Jodorowsky's El Topo or Jarmusch's Dead Man, I'm sure I'll enjoy it. Has anyone in this community seen it? Please share your thoughts. Thank you! | | Sunday, May 18th, 2008 | 3:54 pm

New Releases
Criterion has a lot of good stuff coming out this summer. Finally some Canadian films, too: Claude Jutra's Mon Oncle Antoine and Guy Maddin's Brand Upon the Brain. I know that Jutra's film has long been recognized, by critics, as the greatest Canadian film ever made. Still, even here in Canada, hardly anyone has heard of it, let alone seen it. It's also a very pleasant suprise to see a Maddin film released by Criterion - he's a great, truly creative director who, finally, is starting to get some recognition. I also want to get The Thief of Bagdad. A blind buy, though. Has anyone seen this? Is it worth getting? | | Thursday, May 15th, 2008 | 9:51 pm

two questions; one direct, one tangential
Takes on Criterion's releasing practices lately? Would you rather see more good-but-already-available movies get the treatment, like Two-Lane Blacktop or The Last Emperor, or is the part of the cycle we're in now with the small, fascinating obscurities like Mafioso or Walker more to your taste? If you couldn't tell from the loaded language I prefer the latter; no question some of the films they've redone have been deserving, but I just don't get the sense of progression from that as I do with unavailable films. Which leads in to my next based-on-wild-rumors question: Last Year at Marienbad. On the way, potential future release, totally impossible, or what? Anybody? And while we're at it:  Thoughts? I got nothin'. | | Tuesday, April 8th, 2008 | 9:42 am

eclipse recommendations?
I'd like to Netflix some titles from the Eclipse series, but I don't know where to start. Can anyone provide some recommendations? I've heard great things about the Samuel Fuller box, and I love Bergman, so I'm thinking that I would like the Bergman edition. Speaking of Bergman, Max Von Sydow came into the Borders where I work last night (in Boston). I helped him find a Leonard Bernstein DVD box set. Seemed like a very nice guy. He's in the upcoming Scorsese film that's being shot here ("Ashcliffe"). |
