Bad Taste DVD
Lewman @ 17:14 EST

Almost forgot, The Bad Taste DVD I've been talking about has finally got a proper release.

Morningstar Entertainment have announced a Canadian DVD of Bad Taste, to be released on February 8th. Full-frame and movie-only, but it's on the way.

Well look what I came across today.
It's seems as if there is a better version of Heavenly Creatures on DVD! This one is indeed in 2:35:1! and yup it even has teaser trailers :) It's a region 2 DVD and it's from a french DVD site. But there is one little flaw.

More on that Heavenly Creatures DVD
Lewman @ 4:38 pm EST

Well I've been informed by a visitor to the site that the Heavenly Creatures DVD that I mentioned a few days back, is indeed out.

It is apparently a Canadian only release (well officially that is) and unfortuantly is in 4:3 pan and scan. You may not think much of that, but if you tie in the fact it has no extras whatsoever to speak of, then it's a real piss poor dvd.

The LD that was released a couple of years back (it's still available now if you look hard enough) comes in a rich 2:35:1 print. So if you have the equipment this really is still the choice to watch PJ's greatest film :)

It's worth bearing in mind that the US version of Heavenly Creatures has a considerable shorter running time than say the NZ version. So again it's still worth waiting for a more complete HC to come out.

If you still want to get it then the spec for the dvd is as follows:


FEATURES

Biographies of filmakers

VIDEO

Widescreen Credits/Full Screen Movie Format


AUDIO

English: Dolby Surround 2.0

French: Dolby Surround 2.0

Whats this then eh?
Lewman @ 4:25 pm EST

Well look what I discovered. Heavenly Creatures is on DVD. Okay I'm not sure whether this is 100% official, but it looks pretty genuine.


I've also learnt that Bad Taste is now available on DVD too.

This makes all of Peter Jacksons films (bar Forgotten Silver) available on the DVD format. But remember that these are un-official releases, and as a result dont have any extras and other things like remastering.

Have a look at Sazuma for Meet the Feebles, Frighteners and Brain dead.

Check out Ebay for Heavenly Creatures and Bad Taste (note: there's only a couple left on there)

I love Joanna :)
Lewman @ 5:28 pm EST

Well guess what! Joanna has sent in another great entry for BOB.

It's a poem that Wobert from Meet The Feebles would have wrote. It's espertly written in his tongue, and fairly amusing.

Another MUST download!
