Hard to find movies, either on disc or streaming. Here are some examples of why you should hang on to physical media
You know I love doing these, so here goes! (interlocks fingers and cracks knuckles) OK, so the list this time is as follows.
Panic Room
They are correct, Panic Room has sadly never had a physical HD release anywhere. I remember getting the original US three disc DVD, which was excellent. Full of bonus features.
28 Days Later
Very easy to find on DVD and lots of Blu-ray copies on eBay, usually a double pack with its sequel 28 Weeks Later. However, due to the out of print nature of the original film, prices range from one copy at £10 with the rest currently around £50+. Also, it should be noted, the film was shot with standard definition cameras, so maybe a Blu-ray isn’t such a great upgrade from DVD?
Dogma
The JoBlo article is correct. As convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein personally owns the rights to Dogma, not Miramax, there’s not much chance of seeing a reissue of this one on Blu-ray. It depends on how badly you want it, lots on eBay, but you’re looking at £50+
Shoot to Kill
JoBlo correct on this one, easily available to buy on DVD but never been available in HD in any form.
The Devils
Once again, an issue with availability in North America, as they explain. I think the film is available uncut on DVD in the UK. There is also a Spanish bootleg Blu-ray available, but the quality is dubious, with obvious scene insertions from other sources.
Wired
If the film is as bad as they describe, are they now just trying to prove a point by including terrible films? They’re right though, if you want to see this, you can find US VHS copies on eBay and that’s yer lot.
Well, until the next JoBlo article on physical media, that’s all, folks! Don’t blame me, blame my autism! 😁
What TV series? I have TYFS, Dogma and 28 Days Later
