GOTTA CATCH EM ALL!!!
This is pacing myself. I only do two big sprees a year. A lot of that money was XMas money from my mother, so that knocked out quite a few. Additionally, I was able to use the 30% off coupon on almost all of them, putting them at about $13.50 a piece.
Yeah, I'd somehow never even heard of the series before, but wow. Best blind buy for me in a long, long time.It's cool you took the 'gamble' and blind bought them all, glad you're enjoying them
All I can wonder now is if Arrow would be able to put out the "New Battles" trilogy that Fukasaku did shortly after these five. I need more!
Speaking of Japanese cinema we really need some Nakagawa blu-ray releases, namely Jigoku and The Ghost of Yotsuya. Onibaba would be nice too, since they've already released Kuroneko. And while I'm on my old-school J-horror tangent, I also want Synapse to release Horrors of Malformed Men on blu-ray, since they currently only have it on DVD.
I also don't understand what the holdup is with Dreyer's films. I know there's a Region B collection but come on. Anyway, the BFI collection doesn't include The Passion of Joan of Arc or Vampyr, though MoC has a Joan of Arc blu-ray. Criterion's only Dreyer blu-ray is Master of the House. What's up with that? Licensing issues?
It is my dream to see Vampyr on blu-ray. Can you imagine?

Does anyone have any knowledge of these three films? http://www.arrowfilms.co.uk/nikkatsu-diamond-guys-vol-1-dual-format-blu-ray-dvd/

I remember seeing a couple of these mentioned briefly in Mark Schilling's No Limits Nikkatsu book, and apparently Red Pier is a spin on Pepe le Moko.
Nice to see there's a second volume already in the works at Arrow, too.
And their second title for February has been revealed:
Arrow has released their (disappointing) UK only slate for March: Two stand alone releases from their Fassbinder boxset (Fear Eats the Soul, and The Merchant of Four Seasons + Beware of a Holy Whore) as well as Richard Linklater's Waking Life (no packshot)

My birthday is on the 23rd and then there is Christmas. Just going to throw that out.
So uh, I guess we're not that interested in Arrow's offerings for March then:
US Only:
UK & US:
Also since Studiocanal managed to produce another great cover in their Vintage Classics line, I feel that it's warranted to include it:
edit:
Almost forgot, Arrow also announced that they're making a book

When was the last time we actually got a Criterion announcement on the 15th?
Going off a schedule Criterion has to show off A Brighter Summer Day and The Manchurian Candidate at the Wexner, it looks like those should get announced tomorrow for March releases. We may also be getting Paris Belongs to Us, A Poem is a Naked Person and Boyhood going by pages found on the site.

If this doesn't happen kitty we are going to fight.
This is so stupid. I hope the rumors I posted are true which will make this even dumber.
4/5 ain't bad and Bicycle Thieves is a much better film
I'd post covers but I'm driving home, but that Manchurian Candidate cover is superb.

Dude. Do you know how long I have waited for this? Hopefully they bring over his other stuff.

Watched 3:10 to Yuma, very light on the supplement but I enjoyed it. Amazing villain, enjoyed how lean the film was. No fat.
I'm going to make a new thread here in a few days, but I wanted to change it from just being the Criterion thread to something that includes all of the art house cinema releases now since the market is much different now than it was a few years ago. Any thoughts on a good title?

The latter does pretty well encapsulate Criterion's tastes(and I love them for it). What other 'art house' label is as likely to do Kurosawa and Fellini as Bay and Verhoeven?
Lol, it's a quote from some episode of The Office that I remember made me laugh my ass off.
Ah, here it is.
Can't post it from where I'm at, but the New Year's teaser is up!
So glad to see that they got their hands on the Lone Wolf & Cub films. I figured it was only a matter of time after they secured all of the original Zatoichi films and are just about to put out the Lady Snowblood films, but still, no need to try and spend whatever the hell the AnimEigo set goes for these days for interlaced transfers.

Three Kings is about as obvious a clue there as actually drawing McCabe in front of them, but it does have some rather exciting implications for the WB deal if they can nab something that recent. Valley of the Dolls is a bit more subtle, but it's still some dolls sitting in a valley. Hopefully, they got the far superior Beyond the Valley of the Dolls in that deal.
I think I saw people looking at the sparkling planet as an hint at Fantastic Planet, which would be fantastic news (hah), but it seems like one of those clues that could also go in another direction.

Dr. Strangelove? Please be true, if only we could get all of Kubrick on Criterion.
It's possible, but I'd be surprised since WB themselves put out a fully loaded Blu-ray not that long ago and is still very much in print. I guess there might be some merit if they wound up offering both the theatrical cut and the extended version, but other than that, it'd be a weird get.

Secretly hoping the angel is Fallen Angels since the Kino Blu Ray is now OOP.
