New releases, 31 May 2005

Full (maybe) list at DVDJournal.com. Here are some highlights. Listen to the podcast for even more.

Boogeyman (2005)

Such a memorable movie. I had to look it up on the IMDB and still had no clue what movie this was.

The Complete James Dean Collection (6-disc set) The Essential Steve McQueen Collection (7-disc set)

There. That’s for you fans of films before 1980. I hope you’re all happy now. ;-)

Danger Mouse: Seasons 1 & 2

And now there’s word leaking about a Count Duckula release. . . It’s Nickelodeon at 3:00 p.m. all over again.

The Dukes of Hazzard: Season Three (4-disc set)

Get it now before the movie ruins the prestige and glamour of the TV series. :: cough cough ::

Harper Valley P.T.A. (1978)

This wasn’t out on DVD already? Hunh.

Jamie Foxx: Straight from the Foxxhole

Cashing in on RAY a bit late, aren’t we?

Jules and Jim: The Criterion Collection (2-disc set) (1962)

I know we have a couple of Criterion junkies reading this…

Moonlighting: Seasons One & Two (6-disc set)

It’s the release of the week, and on sale at Amazon for something like $35. I can’t wait.

Next week: MacGYVER, LOIS AND CLARK, ALIEN FROM L.A. (sadly NOT the MST3K version), and a bunch of re-releases in new special edition form.

    I really want to want Moonlighting enough to buy it, especially at that price. But, I’m worried that the series might seem horribly dated 20 years from birth. I loved it during its original run, but then again, I loved Dukes of Hazard, too.

    I’m on the fence about this one.

    I actually saw BOOGEYMAN, and even I had to look it up to remember what it was.

    If you’re looking to buy “Moonlightning,” you should probably know that at least one reviewer has said that it appears to have the edited, syndicated versions of some episodes.

    Caveat emptor, and whatnot…

    Thanks for the link, Loren. I had only seen one other review of the set, and they didn’t mention anything about that.

    And I could have sworn “Atomic Shakespeare” was in Season Two. It’s episode 3 – 7. Crud. Now we NEED another release of the series.

    Count me among those Criterion junkies, Augie. “Jules and Jim” is one of my two or three favorite Truffaut movies, and the current DVD that’s out there, on WinStar video (or something like that), is dreadful. Can’t wait to get my hands on the Criterion!

    Danger Mouse, Superfriends Vol. 2, and Batman Vol. 3 are all on the way to me this week. I’ve never seen Moonlighting, but considering the good words I’ve heard online I may have to check it out. I’m going to try and get MacGyver next week, but I may have to put it off so I can preorder some Marvel Masterworks.
