Stanley Kubrick: The Warner Home Video Directors Series

by Steve Rogers

Much of the controversy surrounding the less than stellar representation of acclaimed director Stanley Kubrick on DVD will be put to rest with the release of the new Stanley Kubrick box set, the first in Warner Home Video’s Director’s Series. The set contains five of the renowned director’s most well known films including 2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange, The Shining, Full Metal Jacket and Eyes Wide Shut. All have been remastered and bundled with a wealth of special features, and all are available individually, with the exception of Full Metal Jacket. The set also includes the previously released documentary “Stanley Kubrick: A Life in Pictures”. Read More

Beatles For Sale? Please Please Us

by Steve Rogers

The announcement for the DVD re-release of The Beatles 1965 classic film Help! has been greeted with a fair amount of delight and skepticism among the band’s fans and videophiles alike. To say that the video catalogue of the most important rock and roll band in history has been horribly underserved is putting it lightly. And don’t get me started on the band’s CD catalogue remasters (at the rate Apple is going, Axl Rose may well produce a recording before we see those long delayed Beatles CDs).

But the arrival of an official two-disc release of the remastered version of Help! should be enough right now to warm the hearts of Beatlemaniacs everywhere. In addition to a 5.1 remastered soundtrack, it will include a bundle of bonus features, and there’s even a deluxe edition with original poster reproductions and a hard cover 60-page book that will retail for the tidy price of $134.95 (talk about trying to cash in on the devotion and hunger of loyal fans desperate for all new things Beatles). Whether or not Apple/EMI gets it right remains to be seen, and DVDProfiles.com will most certainly be on the case with this important release. But all this begs the question: Where the heck is the rest of the Beatles filmed legacy? Read More
