Charmed is pre-empted tonight, but it’s
pre-empted for a movie that is fair game for this
site, so here’s a spot to discuss it. (I’ll be
watching the Oscars, instead: expect a full report on
the winners.)

Still no sign of a Treasures collection with
Donald in Mathemagic Land, but I’ll keep my
eye out.

In the 1930s and 1940s, Universal Pictures released
some classic horror films, including
Dracula, Frankenstein, and the
Wolf Man. When I learned of the Legacy
collections coming out April 27, I was tempted to
shell out the $80US MSRP for the box set for those
three movies. Well, I’ve just learned that the
Legacy sets include more than three films. They have
four Dracula films, five
Frankenstein films, and four Wolf
Man films. That’s 13 classic movies in a very
fancy box for a very reasonable price. The total
running time is over 1000 minutes. It’s a six DVD
set, with loads of extras. I’m going to have to
redraw my budget for the summer. You can pick them
up here
and elsewhere.

Anonymous Coward writes, Hi there! I came up with the idea to put sci-fi movies in a chronological order. The problem is that there are many movies that don’t really refer to a specific point in time whereas others mention a concrete date. I’ve tried to put those that show a certain specified time in my list here. You’re welcome to contribute more to that list by either filling out the form on that page mentioned above or write an email to [email protected]! Thanks! Hannes

Anonymous Coward writes, The writers of X-Men 2
screenplay (Dan Harris and Michael Dougherty) have
been hired
by Warner Brothers to write the second draft of the
script. The first draft was written by Orson Scott
Card, based on both Ender’s Game and Ender’s
Shadow. These guys will also join Bryan Singer
for a 12 issue stint on Ultimate X-Men after
Brian K. Vaughn’s 6 issue run, which starts in May.

It’s a short film, but it’s being reviewed under the
“movie” criteria, because it’s a single,
self-contained story with the same technical aspects
as a movie.

This was heavily requested from this
list of potential reviews in last week’s
column. If you have any suggestions about what I
should review next, post below or e-mail me.

I’ve recently managed to create a catalogue
of my DVD collection, and it includes some titles
that may or may not be Bureau 42 material. Rather
than guessing, I’ll just ask you: do you (eventually;
I’m not promising any timelines) want to see reviews
for The Complete Goofy (every short starring
Goofy), George Lucas In Love,
Hackers, The Messenger, some NASA
documentary footage, Pi, Real
Genius, Stan Lee’s Mutants, Monsters and
Marvels, Tomorrow Never Dies,
WarGames, or The Complete Wallace and
Gromit? (We’d need to create a non-fiction film
category if you want the NASA or Stan Lee stuff
reviewed.)

I really should be studying for Wednesday’s final
exam, so naturally I chose to watch and review this
little film.

The classic has been reviewed. There’s a spoilerish chunk in there in the “film vs. movie” rant, so if you haven’t seen it yet, you may not want to read that part. Also, shame on you! Go rent or buy it right now!
