Sunday Morning Notebook

October 18, 2009

Couple of DVD accounts in today's Beacon Journal. A discussion of a new Rock and Roll Hall of Fame set is here. As I indicated, the set is something of a nightmare organizationally. But it is full of cool stuff, and what I thought would be brief checks of this or that disc usually turned [...]

More Notes: "Say Anything" Anniversary Edition, "Community" Stuff

August 21, 2009

"Say Anything" is memorable, I think, even for people who have not seen it, because the boom box scene has been so often invoked. (If memory serves, "Drop Dead Diva" did an homage to it not long ago.) Details of the new release, due Nov. 3, are after the jump. The release is also of [...]

Sunday Notebook

August 2, 2009

I have a few thoughts about movies involving cooks and cooking, related to "Julie & Julia," which premieres Friday. I'll have a review of the movie later this week. Needless to say, the topic of my column could have included a lot of other things; there were scenes that I ended up cutting from my [...]

Monday Notebook, New "90210" on DVD

July 6, 2009

(Not a bad weekend for Koreans, in fact, between Choo's achievements and Korean-American golfer Anthony Kim's performance.) [...]

"Husbands" on DVD

June 8, 2009

I'm a longtime fan of the work of John Cassavetes, up to and including ownership of the box set of his films. And was disappointed that the box did not include "Husbands," one of his more famous films. That gap is about to be filled. From Sony:
Sony Pictures Home Entertainment will release Husbands, written and [...]

"Fringe" on DVD/Blu-ray
