I don't really want the steelbook either and wish there was a keep case release.

There'll no doubt be an Amaray release shortly.

Mona Lisa is out June or July.....

I did my MA in International Film with Johnny at Newcastle University – it was good to see him at the Spaghetti Cinema Festival in Luton last year.

Arrow announcement:

Just 24 hours to go until we reveal our August line-up, so how about some teasers? Tomorrow’s announcement will involve nine directors, eleven features (spanning the years 1939 to 1987), two Arrow Academy releases, three US titles and plenty of horror!

11 releases for August? Assuming nothing is a multi-film set. Never thought i'd say this, but they need to slow down.

11 releases?

That's the equivalent of 11 years Shameless releases...in just one month.

11 is a huge amount, maybe their trying to clear the decks so they can concentrate on the dual region titles? 11 titles and 9 directors, hmm I wonder if the Bava Box is possibly coming?
