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:

Planet of the Apes

Comments Off 21 May 2011

With the Planet of the Apes franchise due to get a “reboot” later this year with the release of Rise of Planet of the Apes I thought it would be interesting to look at the trailer of both the 1968 version and the 2001 version.

The 1968 version starred Charlton Heston and went on to win an award from the Academy, though only got nominations for actual Oscars.

The 2001 version was directed by Tim Burton and starred Mark Wahlberg, Tim Roth, Helena Bonham Carter and Kris Kristofferson. It won several awards for makeup and special effects

So will the 2011 “reboot” spawn a full series of films, or will it just be a “one off” like the Tim Burton one?
