| Into the Woods: Stephen Sondheim | |||||||||
| Amazon | |||||||||
|
|||||||||
| Comments | Alex: Blu-Ray release of the performance of the Original Broadway production of the musical that was featured on Great Performances back in the ’90s. Definitely worth watching (particularly since it sounds like the film is dropping the very important character of the Narrator, so it’s nice to know what you’re missing), not sure what Blu-Ray will add that the DVD doesn’t have. | ||||||||

| The Quatermass Xperiment aka The Creeping Unknown | |||||||||
| Amazon | |||||||||
|
|||||||||
| Comments | Alex: This film, a Hammer Films adaptation of one of the earliest SF serials put out by the BBC (and one which was lost in the purges that also lost us much of Patrick Troughton’s run), was in the GSSFT tournament, though it failed to advance to the Round of 42, likely due to the fact that the movie was mostly out-of-print at the time. No longer. | ||||||||
| Queen’s Blade OVA: Beautiful Warriors | |||||||||

| Rightstuf | |||||||||
|
|||||||||
| Comments | Alex: I’d ask why this show got an additional 6-episode OVA, when Tiger and Bunny doesn’t get a second season, but to tell the truth, I know why. | ||||||||

Finally, the picks of the week. Blaine says, “Star Trek: The Next Generation – Season Seven is one I’m really looking forward to.” Alex says, “Agreed, though I’ll also be picking up The Quatermass Xperiment.”
The Emerald Forest is one of those movies I remember from my childhood. Yes, because of the unrealistically attractive naked Amazon tribes women. But I recently watched it again and it is actually a fairly good movie, if you’re into Environmental Tree-Hugger “Based On a True Story Well you Know Kinda” movies.
That horror collection could be fun, but ‘horror classics’?!?!? Yeah, who can forget that all-time horror classic, ‘Bride of the Gorilla’?
