Aisle Seat 9-17: Season 28 Premiere! 4K Debuts & New Release Wrap!
Posted By: Andy Dursin 9/16/2024 - 10:00 PM
It’s unfathomably hard to believe I wrote the first Aisle Seat column for the internet way back when I was graduating from college in 1997 – since then we’ve been through more movies, home video releases, and format changes than you can count! Yet throughout it all, I’ve had a blast covering an industry that’s shifted from small “boutique labels” (in the earliest days of DVD) to major studios (the heyday of that format and Blu-Ray) and now back again to a lot of indie labels and distributors keeping physical media alive across Blu and 4K UHD (and DVD too for that matter – the format that simply will not die). We’ll still be here as the marketplace shifts, changes and adjusts to post-COVID viewing habits and a theatrical marketplace that has never recovered from “the pandemic” – and invite all of you to join me on our message boards for always-lively discussion about movies both new and (especially) vintage in nature.

Film Score Friday 9/6/24
Posted By: Scott Bettencourt 9/5/2024 - 10:00 PM
La-La Land has announced two new releases due next week -- Lorne Balfe's score for Netflix's recent sequel BEVERLY HILLS COP: AXEL F, which incorporates Harold Faltermeyer's classic theme from the original 1984 film; and an "ultimate cut" edition of Harry Manfredini's score for FRIDAY THE 13TH PART V: A NEW BEGINNING.


The latest release from Music Box is a two-disc, expanded edition of Gabriel Yared's Oscar-nominated score for THE TALENTED MR. RIPLEY, the 1999 remake of Patricia Highsmith's classic first novel in her "Ripley" series (previously filmed as Purple Noon, and recently remade as the mini-series Ripley). Ripley was the second of four theatrical features Yared scored for writer-director Anthony Minghella, and starred Matt Damon as Ripley with a remarkable supporting cast - Gwyneth Paltrow, Cate Blanchett, Philip Seymour Hoffman and an Oscar-nominated Jude Law. Disc One features the full film score, while Disc Two features alternates and demo cues.


The latest release from Caldera presents the score to HAUNTED HEART, a new romantic thriller from director Fernando Trueba (Belle Epoque, Chico & Rita), with music by Zbigniew Preisner (The Double Life of Veronique, Damage).
