I completely agree. Recently watched him in "Sorcerer" a few weeks back, and he was fantastic in that as well.

This is a decent month. Tie Me Up! is one of my favourite Almodovar's, and I'll also be in for All That Jazz and Love Streams.

Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down
Midnight Cowboy
Y Tu Mama
Trouble in Paradise Blu
M Dual-Format

First month of official guesses and I get two right. I'll pat myself on the back for that.

Love Streams - It's Rowlands & Cassavetes day one purchase.
Y tu mamá también - Never seen, but it's on my Netflix list. Will watch it later.
Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down! - Never seen, will look into it.
All That Jazz - currently have no interest in.
Vengeance is Mine - Already have the UK blu.

Three of the five titles are listed in the They Shoot Pictures, Don't They list of 1,000 greatest films:

Love Streams #285
All That Jazz #525
Vengeance is Mine #775

and Y Tu Mama Tambien used to be on the list and made it as high as #797.

Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down is the only one not listed, but it certainly sounds interesting. Thank you Criterion for a very strong month!

It's interesting the cover for ALL THAT JAZZ basically uses the original poster artwork, which is something relatively rare for Criterion, right?

No they've done a lot - Mad Mad Mad World, Rosemarys Baby etc etc

I'm glad the Cuaron finally got a release.

There's nothing I need immediately from this round. I'll hold off until a sale.

I would probably pass out. Somebody call 911 if that happens.

and for me! XD

I'll be in for all but Vengeance is Mine, for which I've already got the UK disc. Other than the Almodovar film though, I'm not much fussed over any of these films like I have been the last few months.

[bwdowiak]

so now that Mama, Scanners, and Life Aquatic have been released, what is the next: "OMG, where's my <insert title here>?" film ?

is it Mulholland Drive?

[Scottie]

All of the August releases are three-disc sets except Vengeance is Mine, so expect DigiPacks unless they decide to put the new case into play.

These come to mind.

Brood
Devils
Eraserhead
Grand Budapest Hotel
Moonrise Kingdom

I'm not doing cartwheels over anything right now but I have a feeling I'll talk myself into almost all of them by November.

If 'meh' means 'I dunno, I guess I'll get them all eventually' then yeah, this is a pretty meh month.
