Lou Lumenick of the New York Post has interviewed George Feltenstein of Warner Home Video. Feltenstein reports that the company is going to be setting "a higher bar for quality" for Archive releases due to fan complaints.

He always worked with such conviction that it seems downright strange to see him break character.
(By Edward G. Robinson III, robinson@newsobserver.com) A student of history, Duke football coach David Cutcliffe knows adversity can give way to extraordinary accomplishments. So with the Blue Devils facing their own minor depression, Cutcliffe turned to the history books to provide some inspiration for a team knocked off track by a 19-6 loss to its rival North Carolina on Saturday. After a little...
Everyone has that moment in life when they wonder why they're walking around in a monkey suit. Legendary actor Edward G. Robinson had that epiphany in 1966 while shooting a test for The Planet of the Apes movie. Good Serling...
On another thread (best movies of all time or something similar) I put forward the film 'Soylent Green' for consideration. I do not necessarily think it is the best ever but it is certainly a very commendable piece of work. Anyway, it is on TCM 2 this Friday and I would be most grateful for the Word massive to cast a critical eye over it. It is a dystopian vision of the year 2022 and unlike some future...
