DVD News: The Prowler, America America, everything

long time ago that there was on this DVD news but it certainly does not hurt to revive this little section. The focus is still on "old ham", and I'll try in future, even more responsive to the RC 2 range. Also attention will find the Made-on-demand services, which I welcome but not completely, but I gave up my resistance so far that I have ordered the first disc in order to lack of alternatives.

standard DVDs and Blu-rays:

Start I would like but with old-fashioned, pressed DVDs, and especially since I was an announcement recently very pleased. VCI Entertainment released in collaboration with the UCLA Film & TV Archive and the Film Noir Foundation (become a member, it's me now) Joseph Losey's The Prowler from 1951. It takes you back to a restoration of the Film Noir Foundation and that DVD is hopefully the beginning of a fruitful business relationship. It should be said that Robert Parrish Cry Danger (1951) confirmed, in fact, as part of the agreement.
Now back to The Prowler, 01, from the February 2011 will be available and neat bonus material with them out:

Audio Commentary by film noir expert Eddie Muller
The Cost of Living: Creating The Prowler with James Ellroy, Christopher Trumbo, Denise Hamilton and Alan K. Rode Featurette

On the same day, also by VCI, is also a Pre-Code Double Feature see the light of the world. The main attraction is King Henry Hell Harbor (1930), which will celebrate its DVD premiere. The second film is Jungle Bride (1933) by Harry O. Hoyt, Albert H. Kelley on board, was already released for Alpha, the dreaded label PD. My advice in this double feature is, to wait and Reviews.

Warner, basically from the path of "real" DVDs will be launched in 2011 with a nice surprise. Elia Kazan's so America, America (1963), recently in the large set of Kazan - is released - which unfortunately includes almost only been available in popular films DVDs. On 08 February 2011, however, a single release donated. The only extra is an audio commentary by film historian Forster Hirsch is on board.

Criterion also recently announced the February program. My highlight, and therefore it will also find mention of Alexander Mackendrick's Sweet Smell of Success (1957), which is one of those titles that could license the Criterion of MGM. As might be expected, the full Criterion program is used so that the DVD and Blu-ray from 22 February 2011 is loaded with bonus in stores:

New audio commentary by film scholar James Naremore
Mackendrick: The Man Who Walked Away, a 1986 documentary featuring interviews with director Alexander Mackendrick, actor Burt Lancaster, producer James Hill, and more

Made on Demand DVDs: - can be read on the blog a few thoughts on this from my side -

After Warner last year with their Archive Series was the beginning, the MOD-fever in the United States has spread to almost every studio. While Universal and MGM to offer films about the Amazon, Warner and Sony operate their own websites where you can buy the shares - as non-Americans do not. Meanwhile, however, result in large Internet shops, the MOD discs, so the import is quite simple. The last few days it was announced that MGM is probably right to enter MOD business, so in the coming months and next year will be available up to 400 titles. As soon as there are in addition more news, I blog.
's Most Active Warner continues to offer basically every week new titles to buy, while one in Sony drives a monthly basis. By contrast, Universal was a long time nothing.

New from Warner this week then the following titles (until 1970).
