This isn't the first new Hammer film. There's at least three others that precede it, including the theatrically released Let Me In.
Another one I saw on DVD was Wake Wood, which despite it's inability to resist a lame "twist" ending, was actually a pretty decent throwback to Hammer's past English village-set thrillers like The Witches, Plague Of The Zombies, and The Reptile.

Is this the same Joe Carnahan who not that long ago compared white conservatives to Jihadists? Now he's calling himself a right winger! Does have a split personality or something?

Glenn Ford was excellent in Cimarron.
Unfortunately, when his character began to go away for long stretches, before disappearing entirely, the whole movie went down the drain!

A Boy And His Dog is another of those rare movies that's actually better than it's printed counterpart, with more action and a sharper wit, a real surprise being that it was written and directed by a cowboy actor!

I haven't seen many Muni films. The three I did watch (Chain Gang, Scarface, Commandos Strike At Dawn) were excellent.

Recordable media has a typical lifespan of about ten years. After that the ink in which the content is encoded begins to decay. What I'm saying is that they're gouging the public with something they know is an inferior product.

Now it's my turn to name-drop! Instead of shelling out $26.99 for what I'm sure is an excellent and hard to see movie, I took my money to Big Lots and bought drilled copies of better known Warner Bros. pictures, Marked Woman, The Roaring Twenties, I Was A Fugitive From A Chain Gang, Dillinger, The Informer, Angels With Dirty Faces, Key Largo, The Narrow Margin, and The Petrified Forest.

Please quit calling those crappy, overpriced DVD-R's a "DVD release".
It costs the studio less than a dollar to press a real DVD and they want to charge twenty bucks for something they burn on a computer. Also, I'm a bit sceptical as to if they would hold up to multiple viewings.

I'm not surprised Tower Heist underperformed.
From the TV spots I saw, it looked like agitprop BS, masquerading as a lightweight heist comedy.

You're right about Guillermo Del Toro.
He lost me when he began to relentlessly glorify the communists of the Spanish civil war. God only knows the horrors that would have been unleashed if "his side" had won.

I don't understand the defensiveness against colorized movies, dubbed movies, subtitled movies, theatrical versions, or extended versions.
They're all fun as long as they don't become the only option on the table.
Besides, what's wrong with having the choice of experiencing a movie in a different way than you're used to?
Something that might help parents coax young children into watching something of quality is a good thing in my book.
