Harry's DVD Picks & Peeks - 1st week of Nov DVDs: Apes, Peck, Panda, Get Smart, Randolph Scott + more

Hey folks, Harry here… This past week has been crazy for me. I’ve been recovering from a crazy Halloween party, an awesome Election night and working on a lot of stuff regarding Forrest Ackerman. But the hardest part has frankly been concentrating. My liberal brain has been in overkill with Election mania since Obama got elected and I have been absolutely addicted to reading every article every where.

Moriarty’s DVD Shelf! An October Ozploitation Triple Feature! DARK FORCES! THIRST! And PATRICK!

Hey, everyone. “Moriarty” here.

I’ve got more Fantastic Fest reviews still coming. I have a feeling I’ll chip away at those for a while. One of the films I really adored, though, is the new documentary NOT QUITE HOLLYWOOD, which is a loving look back at a whole wave of filmmakers who revitalized the Australian film industry using sex, violence, and a whole lot of stuntmen who seemed perfectly willing to die on camera.

Vern Decides To RETURN TO SLEEPAWAY CAMP!

Okay, let's say it's the year 2008, you are a horror fan, and the one thing that would really hit the spot for you in the near future would be a low budget FRIDAY THE 13TH (part 1) rip-off with a unique brand of in-your-face FUCK YOU AND YOUR MOTHER New York attitude. But not SLEEPAWAY CAMP, you already saw that one. Well then November 4th is your lucky day, dickwad, because that's when original SLEEPAWAY CAMP director Robert Hiltzik returns to Sleepaway Camp with his sophomore directorial effort, RETURN TO SLEEPAWAY CAMP.

On The Eve Of IRON MAN's DVD Release, Mr. Beaks Reports Back From Stan Winston Studio!

A few weeks ago, I had the rather mindblowing opportunity to tour Stan Winston Studio out in Van Nuys, California. To say that I was "overwhelmed" when I entered the showroom is a gross understatement. As I stood at the entrance, the first creatures that caught my eye were the Commando Elite and the Gorgonites from Joe Dante's smart, subversive SMALL SOLDIERS. Pretty cool. Then I made my way into the room, and completely lost my ability to process visual information for a few minutes.

Disney announces it's Platinum Blu-Ray DVD Releases of Classic Animation Titles!!!

Hey folks, Harry here... I don't know about you, but I'm an animation super junkie. I love classic Disney animation - and I'm insanely excited to be getting SLEEPING BEAUTY on Blu-Ray here shortly - but today I got the below press release announcing that we'll be getting PINNOCHIO, SNOW WHITE, FANTASIA, FANTASIA 2000 with DESTINO! and BEAUTY AND THE BEAST afterwards. Of course the bummer is that this announcement is their schedule of releases through 2010. But hey... at least we know the schedule! Here ya go...

Moriarty’s Movie Journal: Amy Adams, Spike Lee, Giant Crocs, Surfin’ Jews, ‘70s Hoffman And A Buncha Blu!

Hey, everyone. “Moriarty” here.

You know who’s a badass?

Quint. Quint is a gen-u-wine badass. That boy announced a column with a punishing publication standard, he started it, and he has stuck to it. Bad. Ass.

I am not a badass. I’m a distracted dad of two who is lucky he remembers where his computer is these days. Doesn’t mean I’m seeing less films... it’s finding the time to write about them inbetween other things that has become increasingly difficult.

Hey folks, Harry here with a host of fun titles! The greatest being LA GRANDE BOUFFE and Orson Welles’ DON QUIXOTE – but then there’s the wild insanity of something like the remake of THE WIZARD OF GORE starring Crispin Glover and the Suicide Girls! My brain wasn’t prepared for the fucking joy that brought me!

Los Angeles Area Geeks! INGLORIOUS BASTARDS Is Screening On Wednesday Night! With The Director!

Hey, everyone. ”Moriarty” here.

"Holy crap! I didn't even know he was done casting it yet!"

No, no. We are, of course, speaking of the original. Which is about to get the Nerd Boner 3-Disc Edition treatment (cannot wait to pick one up), hence the scheduling at the always great, genuinely grindhouse New Beverly Cinema.

Here’s what shows up in the inbox through official channels after an unofficial nudge had been sent in:
