Particularly for Sony catalog titles or non-mainstream releases. Welcome to the Dollhouse, The Rider, The Last Supper, and Sleepless in Seattle come to mind. Preordered from Best Buy!!! One of my favorites from the day. Haven't seen it since high school. Curious to see how it holds up.

I think you will be pleasantly surprised. Very solid thriller that has aged wonderfully

I've been waiting for this for a long time.

Indeed, same with Dick and Young Guns 2. For reliability, looks like you have to do Best Buy for these Sony catalogs for some reason

Somehow I missed this announcement!

The problem is and always has been - it really doesn't help calling it '2.0 stereo' - it should be '2.0 surround'. Yes, the theatrical system is Dolby Stereo but I don't think that moniker was ever applied as standard to home video media. From the VHS and laser days it was referred to as Dolby Pro Logic, somewhere during the dvd phase it was modified depending on studio to 2.0 surround or, annoyingly, 2.0 stereo and it's the latter that has been carried over to blu-ray. Regardless of what enthusiasts either know or assume, based on the age of the film, it's misleading.

Been waiting for this one I was hoping Shout could get their hands on it and add some interviews with the big cast but oh well. Still a fun action movie with a premise that sadly is relatable today and holds up when watching it.

Werdsniper2 · 12-08-2018, 08:13 PM

Is this one of those movies that I liked as a kid but as an adult I might dislike?

It feels like it could be. I honestly forgot that it exists.

Morsoth · 12-08-2018, 09:09 PM

I missed this announcement too, very happy to know it's getting released, I love this movie!

Why does it feel like every single one of your posts reads like this?

I honestly don't know what you're talking about. It's a movie involving talking action figures. I was simply asking if it's one of those movies that you remember being good as a child, but watch years later and realize it's not.

I'm not bashing this release or anything. Just asking for opinions. Don't make something out of nothing.

It's not about talking action figures, but about a group of terrorists holding college students and professors in hostage.

You, sir, are correct. I got confused by the title and the 90's release date. Apologies.
