Battleship Potemkin | |||||||||
Amazon | |||||||||
Comments | The listed format is HD-DVD, but the cover scan has the DVD logo on it, and HD DVD is all but dead. Alex: This is an import release from Europe (specifically Germany), so it’s entirely possible HD-DVD is still alive-ish (or perhaps undead) in Germany. | ||||||||

Comments | Blaine: Be wary of this one. The packaging greatly emphasizes “The Quiet Man” over “John Ford: Dreaming” in the title. People may not realize that they are buying a documentary about the film, and not the film itself. | ||||||||

Finally, the picks of the week. Blaine says, “I haven’t actually seen the major releases this week, although the last chapter of The Hobbit will be viewed eventually. I have seen Battleship Potemkin and Mr. Bean, but I’m not sure they’re really worth trumpeting in these editions.” Alex says, “I’m going with The Hobbit, with Into The Woods being a close second.”
