Willie Wonka 40th Anniversary Boxset

No Comments 08 January 2012

Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory

The original Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was released in 1971 – just over 40 years ago.

 

I’ve always had mixed feelings about the film and in many ways the Tim Burton remake is a lot better, though both versions have their merits.

 

In any case if you’re a fan you can now get a very tasty boxset for your collection

The boxset is pretty impressive, as it contains both blu-ray (1080p) and DVD versions of the original 1971 film, as well as an extra disc featuring a documentary.

There’s also a number of Willie Wonka collectibles and a colour booklet:

The Guard Gets Renamed For French Release

No Comments 08 January 2012

The Guard, which is probably going to be the most successful Irish film in the last couple of years, has been released in France under the title “L’irlandais”.

It makes sense, as The Guard wouldn’t mean a lot to French audiences.

Here’s the poster:

Are All Film Posters Cliched?

No Comments 29 November 2011

Cinema posters can be really interesting and visually impressive, but a lot of them are boring.

You can nearly always guess a film’s genre by a DVD cover (or the artwork in iTunes), but someone has actually analysed this a bit more.

Makes for a good read!

(and yes I know other people have done this kind of analysis – see related links below!)

Amelie is being re-released in UK cinemas on October 14th.

I’m not sure if it will get into Irish cinemas, but if it does then go and see it. It’s probably one of the most refreshing films you’ll ever see!

Harry Potter Wand Boxset

Comments Off 09 August 2011

Since the latest (and last) Harry Potter movie is still showing in cinemas it might be almost premature to be thinking about boxsets .. However it’s 2011, so we can pre-order DVDs and BluRay as soon as we get out of the cinema..

Here’s a particularly nice Harry Potter boxset (currently only available via Amazon France):

The boxset contains 11 bluray discs in total, which is made up of the 8 films of the series plus 3 discs of “extras”. If you haven’t switched to bluray yet you can get a DVD version as well
