Echo Bridge Blu-ray Wave II

[Guydowood]

I suppose we have to proceed with caution but on July 5th look for

From Dusk Till Dawn 3: The Hangman's Daughter Blu-ray
Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood Blu-ray
Hellraiser: Hellworld (part 8 for those of you still playing)

Three more passes. If Wal-Mart ever has a $5 for BD it will consist of Alliance and Echo Bridge titles.

I might get then first 2 if I can find them cheap.

[Arkadin]

there's really no point in worrying about anything.
we all know exactly what the quality will be--the only question is will they be totally awful or just downright dreadful?
will they really suck or only be a completely pathetic?

[DaleDark]

If I were a betting man, I'd say Hellworld will be servicable, but nothing to rave about, Don't Be A Menace.... will be bad, and FDTD 3 will be shovel-ware (to borrow the gaming term). That said, if you're a fan, you may as well get 'em as the likelyhood that any of these titles will get better treatment anywhere, anytime soon is about the same as winning the lotto, getting struck by lightening, while getting hit by a train all at the same time (glad I can live w/o these discs, but you fans are fukt).

Hope they add more to it,they released so many in the past two weeks seems weird that they would only do three this time.

[SethRex]

I may pick up From Dusk Till Dawn 3. I have to find and buy the double feature of the first 2 though.

OrlandoEastwood, you certainly do have the right to spend money on whatever you choose. I just wish you would reconsider patronizing Echo Bridge. And, for the record, I also like B-movies. I just wish they would get better treatment from EB. For me, the Blu-Ray format should be the LAST word on a film for home video consumption. We've been getting some truly stellar releases from other studios and company's. I've written EB and got zero response. Echo Bridge just dosen't seem to get it. Or want to get it. I do hope you give it some thought...Thanks.

They better do a great job with Don't Be A Menace.......

[illini2000]

i saw a dvd copy of Don't Be a Menace and there were no extras listed on the back. I don't get it. The Miramax special edition dvd had extras. Being SD, they would take up little space on a blu-ray.

I actually like From Dusk Till Dawn 3. It's still a cheesy, direct-to-video flick, but it blows the first sequel right out of the water.

Again, it's sad to state, that even with a weak second wave as announced (more will come), Echo Bridge won't treat them properly.

I'm surprised Lionsgate didn't take Don't Be A Menace... as I feel that would've been a big catalog seller.

I'm curious as to how these were handled. I assumed that Echo Bridge took the "bad" ones. But why would Lionsgate have not taken THAT movie?

It's definitely one of Miramax's biggest movies..

Why wouldn't they have taken From Dusk Till Dawn?

....or Halloween CoMM/H20?

Considering they've released a number of second (or third) tier genre films like The Monster Squad, My Bloody Valentine, The Phantom, Cujo, and The Relic, it's hard to believe they wouldn't see the value in getting their hands on a couple of well established slashers from one of the big four franchises of 80s horror and the first Rodriguez/Tarintino collaberation.

here is a list of what Miramax titles they have released and ones that are coming. The current bluray crop is at the bottom of the page and all others are DVD releases. But one can wonder which ones of the Horror genre will get blu releases.

most likely EB demanded some of the better titles as part of making the deal.

That list of titles just makes me sad for all the films I would otherwise have interest in that will likely be of such poor quality that I will never be able to see in a worthy HD release. Many that I don't have on DVD so won't even be able to experience a quality DVD release for them (since even their DVD re-issues fail in comparison to the previous DVD releases). One knows their in trouble when they start longing to just buy a previous DVD release over the BD.

I count over 50 I would if they featured typical unmolested encodes from even average recent masters in their intended aspect ratio, lossless 5.1 audio and carrying over any extras. One can only hope there are some people involved with the companies that realize there is still similar profit to be had with these titles by even doing a halfway decent job (these aren't titles that require restoration, expensive clean-up).

Unless Echo Bridge (and/or Miramax) step up their game immediately, I fear nothing but poor masters with additional incompetent tinkering, 2.0 tracks, modified aspect ratio releases, double features crammed on a BD-25 (because the goal should be to make HD DVD's 15 GB discs look even less obtuse?).. what else am I missing?

I sincerely hope the future yields some glimmer of hope from the Miramax, Dimension Films, and Hollywood/Touchstone Pictures catalog. Devaluing the Miramax brand in one quick swoop and making it synonymous with $1 public domain type companies is probably not the way to go for Miramax or Echo Bridge for these titles.

I actually want to buy lots of those DVDs as i dont own them not to sure if I would pick them up if they were released on blu though. Sad to say that but its true.

[miller_time22]

I would be interested in FDTD 3 and Hellraiser 8, but not from Echo Bridge.

Luckily, there's not much there that I'm interested in.

I'd like to get Don't Be A Menace, but considering the poor quality of their Blu-rays thus far, I'm not keeping my hopes up.
