Week-In-Review, Vol. 006
Last week was a hectic one here at c, vt headquarters, so we got a little behind in our updates. Please bear with us as we play catch up. A result of all of this tardiness is that we’re bringing you a slightly late, mini edition of WIR, where we’ll only look at the top 5 stories of the week. Things will be back to normal by next edition, but in the meantime, check out our slightly truncated, but still zesty version of Week-In-Review!
5. Let The Right One In Subtitles Suck – This was terrible news until it became begrudgingly-acceptable news. Magnet/Magnolia’s DVD/Blu-Ray release of last year’s excellent Let The Right One In launched with crappy newly-written subtitles, but have since been changed to incorporate the much better theatrical ones. The only catch? Fans who bought early copies won’t be offered any sort of exchange program. Shame on you, Magnet!
4. Warners Bros. Opening Its Vault…On Demand! – Nothing incredibly exciting has been made available yet, but the prospect of Warners, and maybe even other studios, opening up their vault to share their forgotten classics is pretty sweet, no? Let’s just hope they streamline this service to also include digital copies.
3. Anne Hathaway Happy As Judy Garland – The effervescent actress signs on to protray the legendary singer/actress on the stage AND the screen! I’m down to travel over that rainbow.
2. The Coen Brothers Show Their True Grit – The Coen brothers doing a super-violent spaghetti Western? I’m onboard! I mean, how can you not be?
1. Journey To Where The Wild Things Are! – Undoubtedly the most exciting thing to happen to the blogosphere last week was the debut of the trailer for Spike Jonze’s much-anticipated adaptation of “Where The Wild Things Are.” And it wasn’t just movie blogs that were in a fervor–EVERYONE was! So if you haven’t seen this thing yet, go rectify that massive oversight and watch it now!
