You should, if you’re a Clint Eastwood fan. Because Warner Brothers has announced the forthcoming release of a massive retrospective box set of his work at the studio.


http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g1...arsatWar-1.jpg


Clint Eastwood: 35 Films, 35 Years at Warner Bros. is set to hit stores Feb. 16 at $179.98, and will cover a large swathe of the squinting icon’s filmography, from 1968’s Where Eagles Dare to last year’s Gran Torino (which is 40 years of the icon's film journey).

It will also include Eastwood Factor, a documentary on the filmmaker by Time magazine critic Richard Schickel.

The 19-disc set will, of course, comprise the Dirty Harry pentalogy, as well as his Oscar-festooned works like Unforgiven and Million Dollar Baby. It also has some of his not-so-classics, like the geriatrics-in-orbit Space Cowboys and the orangutan buddy comedy Every Which Way But Loose.


http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g1...rsatWarner.jpg


But the real gems that make this set worthwhile are the truly excellent films scattered throughout his career that weren’t made during his much-revered Philip Rothian late-life burst of creativity. Like Bird, his beautiful biopic of Charlie Parker; White Hunter, Black Heart, his thinly veiled biopic of John Huston; the emotionally draining A Perfect World; and The Outlaw Josey Wales, which demonstrated an interest in deconstructing the genre that made him famous, the Western, way before Unforgiven.

It’s a hell of a deal for any Eastwood fan. The only negative is it’s not available on Blu-ray.

It's being touted as the largest ever DVD box set featuring a single artist. But it's not the biggest DVD box set ever. For info about that, you have to go here :-

In an interview with the L.A. Times over the weekend, actress Sigourney Weaver revealed that she's going to be recording brand new audio commentary tracks for each of the four 'Alien' films - tracks that will be added to Fox's nearly complete 'Alien' Anthology Blu-ray box set.

We've confirmed this news with our industry sources, who have also informed us that the box set is going to blow away fans of the previous DVD Quadrilogy.

Not only have all of those previous extras have been included, but TONS of new material has been added as well exclusively for the Blu-ray release - extras that should make the BD WELL worth upgrading to.

The set will be released in mid-to-late 2010.

House (Hausu)

DVD, Eureka

To get a good idea of just how unhinged and bizarre this lost 1977 classic is, one only needs to look at the DVD's chapter headings. They start off quite innocently - "Summer Holiday", "Journey", "Supper" - but for the closing quarters of the film they are reduced to: "Not Good", "Blimey", "Indescribable" and "...!!!". When you watch the film you'll see these descriptions are perfectly accurate.

Director Nobuhiko Obayashi managed to convince producers that his debut movie would be as entertaining as Jaws, hence the vogueish one-word title. Instead of a shark, though, he relied on suggestions from his 13-year-old daughter as to what would supply the scares. Her list included a piano that bites fingers off and a severed head dropped down a well. He did the right thing listening to her. The story concerns a group of schoolgirls with names that sum up their character traits – Prof, Melody, Kung-Fu etc – taking a summer holiday in an aunt's country house. The house then tries to kill them. Simple as that.

Stylistically, it starts off over the top, then continues upwards. It's the kind of film that can have a man turn into a pile of bananas or a creepy painting of a cat spew blood everywhere without breaking its stride. It revels in artifice, with painted backdrops, excessive bloodletting and animation all over the place. The girls are attacked by lampshades, clocks, furniture, anything really. It's far too giddy and jaw-dropping to actually be scary but then you can't have everything. And everything is very nearly what this film delivers.

Quote:

"Dazed, bloodied and speechless with trauma, Sarah Carter emerges alone from the Appalachian cave system where the events of THE DESCENT took place. Local sheriff Redmond Vaines forces her back underground to help the rescue team which is desperately searching for her five missing girlfriends. AS the team moves deeper into the caves, Sarah's flashes of fractured memory intensify and she begins to realizes the full horror of the would-be rescue mission. Only Sarah knows the terror which lurks in the shadows of the caves. But they are about to encounter a new tribe of crawlers, inbred, deformed and even more viciously feral than those Sarah faced before."
