pessoal,

neste site tem um excelente review da nova caixa do Hitchcock

http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film/DVDReviews17/Alfred_Hitchcock_ Masterpiece_Collection_DVD_Review.htm

ao que parece as novas transferências são bem melhores... e, além disso, nos EUA está saindo por 90 dólares - o que daria mais ou menos uns 200 reais - por 15 discos... Tá de graça praticamente...

Alguém sabe se há chance de sair por aqui?

Não sei se vai sair isto por aqui, mas o site CD POINT está vendendo a versão americana por R$ 458,00. Particularmente, é caro, mas não tanto, eu estava pensando que o valor da caixa, caso esta saísse aqui seria em torno disto ou mais. Já que as duas anteriores lançadas pela Universal (com estes títulos) custaram na época, respectivamente, R$ 224,00 e R$ 227,00.

Judy Garland as Dorothy in the Land of Oz

By John J. Puccio (October 27, 2005)

"There's no place like home. There's no place like home. There's no place like home."

It's remarkable to think that the 1939 movie classic "The Wizard of Oz" we all know and love wasn't always as popular as it is today. At the film's opening, observers gave it mixed reviews. "As for the light touch of fantasy," wrote critic Otis Ferguson, "it weighs like a pound of fruitcake soaking wet." And critic Richard Mallett said, "I don't see why children shouldn't like it, but for adults there isn't very much except Bert Lahr."

Although the film enjoyed a profit at the box office, being re-released in the U.S. in 1949 and 1955, it would not realize its current status as a cultural icon until it began appearing as an annual special event on TV, premiering on network television in 1956 and beginning its historic run in 1959. After that, there was no stopping it. When MGM made the film, they had hoped it might achieve the success of Walt Disney's "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs." Little did they know it would take more than a quarter of a century to d

...one of the most enduring musical fantasies of all time.

o so.

Now, after issuing several previous DVD editions, Warner Bros. have released the movie in their biggest and best sets yet, the one reviewed here a "Three-Disc Collector's Edition," with a totally restored picture, improved sound, and ton of extras. Who'da thunk?

You see, it's a wonder "The Wizard of Oz" got made at all. Based largely on the first book (1900) in a long series of children's novels by L. Frank Baum and his successors, the 1939 movie followed a handful of silent versions that never achieved great distinction. MGM went through a number of directors, including Richard Thorpe, George Cukor, and King Vidor, with Victor Fleming receiving the credit, to get the thing done. The studio had originally wanted W.C. Fields or Ed Wynn to play the Wizard, but they got Frank Morgan, who, coincidentally, wore the author's own coat in the film (the coat had been discovered in a used-clothing store). Also, the studio had wanted Shirley Temple to play Dorothy, Ms. Temple being the leading child actress of the time, but she was under contract to a rival studio, Fox, who wouldn't loan her out. Sixteen-year-old Judy Garland had to have her chest bound to look more like an eleven-year-old, a discomforting ordeal. Ray Bolger was unhappy as the Tin Man and asked to exchange roles with Buddy Ebsen, who was to have been the Scarecrow, but then Ebsen became allergic to the silver paint, and Jack Haley came in to replace him.

What more could go wrong? Well, the studio almost cut "Over the Rainbow," which won an Academy Award for composers Harold Arlen and E.Y. Harburg, because they thought it slowed down the action. Thank heaven common sense prevailed. Then, some of the veteran troopers--Bolger, Haley, and Bert Lahr--were afraid Garland would upstage them, Garland later saying she was unhappy during the shooting because of the way her costars subtly snubbed her. Bolger always denied the fact. What they all agreed on, though, was that they suffocated in their costumes under the hot studio lights, and everyone was probably getting pretty edgy. To add to the misery, Margaret Hamilton as the Wicked Witch (who, amazingly, was only in her thirties at the time but looked older) was severely burned in an accident involving the fire and explosion of her scene leaving Munchinland, and she couldn't work for the next six weeks. Furthermore, the little people playing the munchkins were said to be partying extensively every night at a nearby hotel, and the studio was glad when they finished their parts in the movie and left. The stories go on and on. Nor did the film stick entirely to the Baum classic, changing the Wicked Witch from an old crone afraid of the dark to the archetype we now recognize, Dorothy's adventure from a reality to a dream, her silver slippers to ruby, and so on. None of it mattered.

What was important was the result, and who can deny that the combination of stars, music, and fantasy in "The Wizard of Oz" doesn't still enchant almost everyone who watches it? Judy Garland elevated herself to the level of Shirley Temple as one of the world's best-loved movie youngsters; Ray Bolger endeared himself to audiences everywhere; Bert Lahr always made us laugh; Jack Haley was a commendable Tin Woodman; Frank Morgan, in all the parts he played as Professor Marvel, the Wizard, and various citizens of Emerald City, could hardly have been topped; Billie Burke as Glinda the Good Witch was beautiful and charming; Clara Blandick and Charley Grapwin as Aunt Em and Uncle Henry were as loveable as any kinfolk could be; Toto became everybody's favorite little dog; and, of course, dear Margaret Hamilton positively embodied the Wicked Witch of the West and would thereafter often be typecast as an old grump or gossip (in a career that lasted for the next forty years, all the way up until 1979).

Interestingly, I used to show "The Wizard of

Oz" to my film classes every year because most of the students hadn't seen it since they were children, and I wanted them to see it with newer, older eyes. Afterwards, when they wrote about it and analyzed it, most of them expressed amazement at how different it was. For instance, many of them didn't realize that the characters at the beginning of the film--Professor Marvel (Frank Morgan), Miss Gulch (Margaret Hamilton), Hunk (Ray Bolger), Zeke (Bert Lahr), and Hickory (Jack Haley)--were the same people who would show up in Dorothy's adventure as the Wizard, the Wicked Witch, the Scarecrow, the Cowardly Lion, and the Tin Man. Likewise, many of them had no idea the movie was filmed almost entirely in a studio (only the opening clouds were real). "Why, the Emerald City is just painted on a screen!" many of them would exclaim. "When I was little, I thought they were really in the Land of Oz!"

No, it's world of soundstages, backdrops, and matte paintings, even the celebrated tornado a muslin wind sock hooked to an overhead scaffold. But does it matter? No more so than knowing that the dinosaurs in "Jurassic Park" are computer animations. It's the magic of movies that the best of them force us willingly to suspend our disbelief and enjoy them in spite of themselves.

Video:
The big news in video is that WB engineers newly restored the film, meticulously frame by frame, and it now looks probably as good as it did at its 1939 première. A high bit rate helps clarify the greater resolution, making for sharper image delineation and stronger contrasts, and, of course, the restoration engineers eliminated almost all signs of age--blemishes, scratches, specks, and the like. However, the greater resolution also increases the visibility of grain, particularly noticeable in the opening sepia sequences. When the Technicolor opens up, the grain becomes less of a factor, and the hues are so glorious we wouldn't notice, anyway, without any of the colors being in the least bit garish or overbearing.

Audio:
The big news in audio is that the engineers remixed the soundtrack in Dolby Digital 5.1. They explain in a separate feature that they started with a restored mono track, two different orchestra tracks, and a specific, edited music-and-effects track, combining them judiciously for the outcome we now hear. For those purists who want the original mono only, it is also available.

The DD 5.1 mix opens up the sound quite a bit but never draws attention to itself. It simply appears natural and realistic. There are only some occasional effects in the rear channels, though, the surrounds mostly working to reinforce the film's musical ambiance. You can also notice some small degree of background noise or hiss at times, especially during quieter passages, if you turn the gain up too high, but it's hardly an issue.

Extras:
The big news in extras is that Warner Bros. have issued the movie in several new special editions, the one reviewed here being the big "Three-Disc Collector's Edition." Disc one contains the restored feature film presentation; with English and French spoken language options; and English, French, and Spanish subtitles.

Additionally, disc one contains a new audio commentary by historian John Fricke, hosted by director Sidney Pollack, with selected archival audio comments by Barbara Freed-Saltzman, daughter of associate producer Arthur Freed; stars Margaret Hamilton, Ray Bolger, and Jack Haley; actor Buddy Ebsen; orchestral and vocal arranger Ken Darby; Bert Lahr's son and daughter, John and Jane Lahr; Margaret Hamilton's son, Meserve Hamilton; make-up artist William Tuttle; producer Mervyn LeRoy; uncredited writer John Lee Mahin; and uncredited cast member Jerry Maren. The commentary reveals a wealth of background information and pure trivia, a delight of its kind.

If that weren't enough, we also get on disc one "Prettier Than Ever: The Restoration of Oz," eleven minutes; "We Haven't Really Met Properly...Supporting Cast Profile Gallery," narrated by Angela Lansbury, twenty-one minutes; "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" storybook, a ten-minute story adaptation read by Angela Lansbury; optional music-and-effects and original mono tracks; and an amazing fifty-five scene selections!

Disc two contains more than any mere mortal could possibly absorb about the movie. It's like getting lost in the Land of Oz itself. Things begin with "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz: The Making of a Movie Classic," hosted by Angela Lansbury, a fifty-minute, twenty-five chapter documentary made for Turner Entertainment in 1990; followed by "Memories of Oz," a twenty-seven-minute, 2001 TCM television special. Both documentaries use surviving cast members and filmmakers plus vintage and archival footage to make their points. Next come a pair of all-new, 2005 documentaries, "The Art of Imagination: A Tribute to Oz," twenty-nine minutes, narrated by Sidney Pollack and including comments from any number of today's composers, actors, directors, and production designers praising the film; and "Because of the Wonderful Things It Does: The Legacy of Oz," twenty-five minutes on the film as a pop-culture phenomenon.

Next, we have four minutes of on-set home movies taken by the film's composer, Harold Arlen; followed by about fourteen minutes of outtakes and deleted scenes, five them in all, including "If I Only Had a Brain" in completed form, and "If I Only Had a Heart," "Triumphal Return to Emerald City," a reprise of "Over the Rainbow," and "The Jitterbug" supplemented by production stills and rough footage. After those items are "It's a Twister! It's a Twister!," eight minutes of tornado special-effects tests, and three vintage featurettes: "Another Romance of Celluloid: Electrical Power," ten minutes of studio news from 1938; "Cavalcade of Academy Awards," two minutes from the 1939 and 1940 Oscar ceremonies; and "Texas Contest Winners," a little over a minute about a busload of Texas contest winners on the studio lot, who were made part of a studio promo.

Then, there are literally hours of audio-only items, like an "Oz Jukebox" of recording session materials, underscoring, and promos, and several complete radio shows like a 1950 Lux Radio Theater broadcast. Finally, the second disc includes an extensive stills gallery, six trailers covering the years 1939-1998, and about four minutes of cartoon segments from a 1967 television series called "Off to See the Wizard." Whew. And that's not all, folks!

Disc three is devoted to "Oz" creator L. Frank Baum, who published his first "Oz" book in 1900, and some early adaptations of his work. First, there's an all-new, 2005 documentary, "L. Frank Baum: The Man Behind the Curtain," twenty-seven minutes long, that features interviews with some of Baum's grandchildren, U.C. Berkeley's Bancroft librarian, and assorted "Oz" historians and authors. Then, there are five early "Oz" movies: "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz," a thirteen-minute, 1910, live-action silent movie with piano accompaniment; "The Magic Cloak," a thirty-eight minute, 1914, live-action silent movie with organ accompaniment (and bearing only a passing resemblance to the "Oz" we know); "His Majesty, The Scarecrow of Oz," a fifty-nine minute, 1914, live-action silent movie that L. Frank Baum himself wrote and directed; "The Wizard of Oz," a seventy-one minute, 1925, live-action, restored silent movie featuring Oliver Hardy and Larry Semon, with a new, fully orchestrated score by Robert Israel; and "The Wizard of Oz," an eight-minute, 1933 cartoon that was the first dramatic treatment of the story to show Kansas in black-and-white and Oz in color (Technicolor).

As well as all of this, the "Three-Disc Collector's Edition" includes two packets of memorabilia reproductions related to the film. The first packet contains an invitation and ticket to the movie's 1939 première at Grauman's Chinese Theater; a copy of the original program; a copy of "MGM Studio News"; a copy of "Photoplay Studies" devoted to the movie; and a campaign poster page. The second packet contains ten glossy, 5"x7" reproductions of original Kodachrome publicity art. Short of resurrecting Dorothy herself, I can't think of anything more Warner could have done to make the "Wizard of Oz" fan happy.

A foldout, plastic-and-cardboard package holds the three discs and lists the contents of each, with the foldout and the accompanying two packets further housed in a handsome cardboard slipcase. Thank goodness, too, WB did not stack the second and third discs on top of one another, a horrid practice I hope the industry has abandoned.

Parting Thoughts:
"The Wizard of Oz" remains one of the most enduring musical fantasies of all time, and WB's new "Three-Disc Collector's Edition," with its restored print, remixed sound, and multitude of extras, makes it better than ever. How much do I like it, personally? When DVDs appeared on the scene in 1997, the very first three discs I bought were "Batman," "Blade Runner," and "The Wizard of Oz." I couldn't be happier than to see "The Wizard of Oz" in its new, improved wrappings. -felipe-38659.0649884259

Robert Redford has recorded his first DVD audio commentary, which will be on the first special edition of All the President's Men. It will be released Feb. 21 by Warner Home Video.

 

 

 

Redford and co-star Dustin Hoffman, as well as the reporters they portrayed, Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, all participated in the bonus features on the two-disc set, being released in the 30th anniversary year of the film's initial theatrical release and timed to President's Day.

 

 

 

The previous DVD edition of the 2-hour and 18-minute movie was one of the first titles issued on the then-new DVD format in 1997 and therefore did not have tremendous sales as few people had DVD players.

 

 

 

Based on the book of the same name by Woodward and Bernstein, President's dramatizes the Washington Post's investigation and reporting of the Watergate scandal that resulted in the unprecedented resignation of President Nixon.

 

 

 

The DVD scored a spike in interest last year when the identity of Woodward's primary source for the story, the man he called Deep Throat, was revealed as Mark Felt.

 

 

 

One of three new documentaries and featurettes on the second disc profiles Felt.

 

 

 

Although neither Felt, who does not remember Watergate, nor Hal Holbrook, who played Deep Throat in the movie, were available for interviews for the DVD, Holbrook does provide narration for the new mini-docs.

 

 

 

The producer of the special edition, Gary Leva, said Redford, who also created and starred in the politically charged The Candidate, chose this movie for his first audio commentary because he and his production company were responsible for getting the film made.

 

 

 

In the commentary, which Redford does alone, he describes meeting with Woodward and Bernstein as they were writing the book. At the time, the reporters were writing the book in third person from the perspective of the Nixon White House. Woodward and others confirm in interviews that it was Redford who persuaded he and Bernstein to write the book in first person from the perspective of young reporters.

 

 

 

George Feltenstein, senior VP theatrical catalog marketing at WHV, said the studio was already beginning work on the special edition when Felt's family revealed that he was Deep Throat. The timing of the news allowed them to also discuss his identity in interviews for the special edition.

 

 

 

Feltenstein said the timing of the release might also work well for those who feel that issues in today's politics and journalism resemble those during the Nixon administration.

 

 

 

Warner has remastered the movie, which Feltenstein said looks a little muddy and grainy on the older disc.

 

 

 

In addition to the three new programs on the disc--"Telling the Truth About Lies: The Making of All the President's Men," "Out of the Shadows: The Man Who Was Deep Throat" and "Woodward and Bernstein: Lighting the Fire"--the special edition also includes a vintage featurette, "Pressure and the Press: The Making of All the President's Men," and an interview with Jason Robards (who played Post editor Ben Bradlee) on the TV show Dinah!, hosted by Dinah Shore.

Warner has announced a two-disc special edition of All The President’s Men which tells the story of the Watergate burglary investigation that ultimately brought down the administration of Richard Nixon. The disc will be available to own from the 21st February, and should retail at around $26.99. DVD extras will include a commentary by Robert Redford, a Telling the Truth About Lies: The Making of All the President’s Men feature, an Out of the Shadows: The Man Who Was Deep Throat featurette, a Woodward and Bernstein: Lighting the Fire featurette, and a vintage featurette entitled Pressure and the Press: The Making of All the President’s Men. Completing the package will be a vintage Jason Robards interview excerpt from Dinah!, hosted by Dinah Shore, and Alan J. Pakula thrillers trailer gallery. Artwork is below:

E olha só a edição inglesa de "OS ESPÍRITOS" - 3 DISCOS. Cheio de extras... Que inveja!

 

The Frighteners SE (R2) in December

Universal Pictures Video have announced the UK Region 2 DVD release of The Frighteners: Peter Jackson's Director's Cut (3-Disc Special Edition) for 26th December 2005 priced at £19.99. A mixture of horror and comedy, this was Peter Jackson’s first big budget Hollywood film, though not made in Hollywood and the Director’s Cut can now be seen in this three disc collection. Originally conceived as an episode for Tales From The Crypt, Robert Zemeckis (Back To The Future) loved the script so much he decided it had to be a movie in its own right. He even let Jackson make it in his beloved New Zealand.

Starring Micheal J. Fox (Back To The Future) as a not too straight ghostbuster. The Frighteners mixes real scary stuff with out and out comedy as Fox and his ghost helpers have to deal with a deadly serial killer that comes back from the grave to continue his killing spree. Fast, funny and totally original.

Peter Jackson's Director's Cut includes 12 minutes of extra footage and comes in a spectacular, extras heavy, three disc edition with commentary and special introduction by Peter Jackson. Also included is full-length, goodie filled documentary ‘The Making of the Frighteners’ featuring interviews with Michael J. Fox, Trini Alvarado, Dee Wallace Stone, Jake Busey and Chi McBride.

Eu particularmente duvido que a Universal lançe esse box, mas pode vir a acontecer. No entanto acredito que esse lançamento dificilmente seria antes do fim de 2006, começo de 2007. A Universal já anunciou mais edições especiais do Hitchcock pro próximo ano e provavelmente vai passar os primeiros meses do ano as lançando. Depois disso deve haver um periodo de no minimo 6 meses SE eles forem realmente lançar o box. E além do mais, me parece que o box não vem com todos os extras que virão nesses dvds duplos.

[Gi Cinéfila]

Nina, na verdade são os filmes lançados naqueles boxes da Universal que você citou, a diferença está no formato do box (ele é de veludo com letras prateadas, com os 14 filmes + 1 disco de extras), os filmes foram todos remasterizados e ainda acompanha um livreto de 36 páginas com textos e fotos sobre a filmografia do Mestre. Quanto as extras de cada disco, não tenho certeza, mais acho que são os mesmos lançados nos boxes anteriores. Olha a foto para você ter uma idéia melhor:

An epic tale of forbidden romance, Ryan’s Daughter stars Sarah Miles as Rosy Ryan, a lovely, headstrong Irish lass who cannot forsake her passionate romance with a handsome British officer (Christopher Jones). When her illicit affair leads to a charge of treason, it is the devotion of her reserved schoolteacher husband Charles (Robert Mitchum) that proves to be the greater love. Academy Award®-winning director David Lean (Lawrence of Arabia and Doctor Zhivago) and screenwriter Robert Bolt frame this brooding romance set during the 1916 Irish Rebellion and within the expansive beaches, craggy cliffs and heathered hills of Ireland’s Dingle Peninsula. Freddie Young’s lush cinematography and John Mills’ memorable portrayal of the town simpleton won Academy Awards.

Olha Nina, quando eu comprei os dois primeiros boxes lançados pela Universal, eu paguei, respectivamente, R$ 224,00 e R$ 227,00. Eu até comentei há algum tempo atrás que eu acreditava que se esta "preciosidade" chegasse em terras brazucas deveria sair por mais de R$ 500. Mas, eu estive dando uma olhada no site CD Point, que vende dvds, cds importados e nacionais, e este box (importado) está custando R$ 458. Olhando por este prisma e considerando que os produtos importados recebem um aumento de 60% (valor dos impostos brasileiros) em cima do seu valor original, talvez este boxe custasse na faixa dos R$ 300. Mas sei lá...

All titles and bonus materials are the same. However, every film is getting a remastering, including the previously non-anamorphic widescreen presentations of Vertigo, Psycho, etc. All new anamorphic transfers for those puppies makes Hitchcock fans happy campers!
