Our friends over at TVShowsonDVD.com have scored some great pictures of the upcoming complete series release of ‘The Flintstones’ on DVD.
For those who may not know, The Flintstones was originally a prime time animated show like ‘The Simpsons’ today… and was just as ‘adult’. It’s amazing what we now consider kid-friendly…
Well, the cat is out of the bag. Yours truly and my good friends and partners Michael Matessino and Daren Dochterman have recorded an exclusive commentary for our film Star Trek: The Motion Picture – The Director’s Edition.
As of today, it’s posted and available exclusively from startrek.com.

Enjoy! If you have any questions, feel free to post them here.
Just as everyone is offering this upcoming Tuesday release for $79.99 in their Sunday advertisements (including Circuit City), it WAS available for pre-order at Circuitcity.com for $19.99 plus $1.25 for shipping.
The three discs are double-sided, and offer over 25 hours of bonus footage. Great deal, grab it now!
Sorry folks… This promotion has ended, and the discs are now available for $79.99.
However, it was just announced on xbox.com that if you purchase the “Complete Matrix Trilogy†on HD-DVD, there will be a coupon inside the box that will allow you to download additional content to you Xbox 360 hard drive including “The Animatrix†which is included in the more pricey “Ultimate Matrix Boxâ€. While “The Animatrix†is in standard definition in the Ultimate box, it is still unknown as to its hidef status from the Xbox Live Marketplace.
When you purchase The Complete Matrix Trilogy, you will also receive a token in the box to download the entire Animatrix series from Xbox LIVE® Marketplace.
There will also be great content available on Xbox LIVE Marketplace from The Complete Matrix Trilogy and Animatrix.
From May 15 through May 25, download free content like HD trailers from all three Matrix movies and some of your favorite scenes in HD like “Bullet Time in the Subway” and “Morpheus fighting Agent Smith.” You can also purchase and download themes for all three films plus Animatrix.
Don’t forget, you can still rent the original Matrix movie in standard definition as a download from Xbox LIVE Marketplace.
So if you want to find out the difference between knowing the path and walking the path, get The Complete Matrix Trilogy—and get on Xbox LIVE Marketplace.
So, if you consider the price plus shipping for $.99, you get both films for $13.86 delivered (tax not calculated), then subtract the full price of the ticket (at least in California and New York) you get both movies for $3.36 delivered, and already have your ticket for Ocean’s Thirteen. (If you split $3.36 in half, you arrive at $1.68 each).
It’s always a pleasant surprise to uncover past works that have been re-released by the studios. Today, Columbia Pictures Home Entertainment re-released The Guns of Navarone as a 2-Disc DVD Set which features all of the original special features from the original release, plus more new and unique features for this one.
A number of years ago I had the great pleasure of producing an enjoyable documentary entitled “Memories of Navarone”. It was a great experience to talk both on camera and off with Gregory Peck, Anthony Quinn, James Darren, and Director J. Lee Thompson. Each man was warm, energetic, and brought a unique perspective to the camaraderie, professional, and personal experiences making the picture. I’m sad to say that three out of these four great men are no longer with us. Whenever I think about the history and talent behind the making of a great motion picture, I get a little choked up, and proud of the people who took the time to record these artists so that we can forever remember them and their work behind-the-scenes.
For me personally, it was my two hours talking with Anthony Quinn that I will never forget.
Spider-Man 2.1 is clearly the movie the way that Sam Raimi wanted it to be. Compared to 2.1, 2 has some continuity problems. It’s clear from 2.1 that a better assembly of the film existed before the film had to be shortened prior to it’s original release.
Okay, before going any further, who came up with this 2.1 concept?! Does this mean that there’s going to be a 2.2? 2.3? 2.4?! Will Spider-Man 2 ½ be a story that takes place between the two films? Honestly, 2.1 is a very poor title for this project.
We’re in a time when the ‘Mighty Dollar’ rules the world. Unfortunately it also can ruin the edit of a movie, for financial gain (i. e. Lost World: Jurassic Park). It can either force a film to be shortened to allow for an additional daily showing–or in its worst case–the film can be re-edited just to sell another copy of the film on DVD. Rarely, there’s a pure motivation behind the recut of a film… completing it the way it was originally intended. What a unique concept.
