Willie Wonka 40th Anniversary Boxset

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:

Irish Director Jim Sheridan’s Dream House
Image via Wikipedia
Irish director Jim Sheridan is probably best known for films like My Left Foot or In The Name of the Father.
His most recent film, which got a very negative review in this weekend’s Sunday Business Post is much more commercial and stars Daniel Craig and Rachel Wiesz.
Dream House is a horror – but with this film it’s pretty clear that the horror refers not only to the film’s genre but the film itself. According to the LA Times, Sheridan was so unhappy with the cut that the studio released that he wanted his name removed from it!
Even the trailer (below) was met with negative reception, as it gives away more of the film’s plot and twists than many would be comfortable with

Harry Potter Wand Boxset
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):
