JMK just posted a review for Hawaii.

It's good they're starting to get new-to-Blu titles now

[JustMarv]

American pimp, yes.

Some of these titles like Hawaii, Posse, and Under Fire were also quietly released as 'remastered' dvds this year and are showing up in Dollar Tree. Obviously it will not be in the league of blus, but I still found it pretty nice to casually check them out. Definitely curious on what all will be offered from this company and hope they also put these movies on sale from time to time as they release more stuff. At first I thought they were only going to re-release former Twilight Time titles and now it's kind of exciting to see unique stuff that hasn't been released on blu before.

The "It's My Party" DVD from MGM was a 'Special Edition' with a lot of extras. I'm assuming we'll probably just get the trailer here. Will still upgrade.

I watched Salsa last night and the video quality was okay but didn't wow me. Looks like an old master.

[hammersmith]

Does the Sandpiper release of Hawaii have the Overture and Exit music like the MGM DVD?

I believe they are somewhat connected to Olive Films, or Olive Films rebranded themselves.

Two more previous TT titles arriving on May 31st. Oliver Stone's Salvador (1986) and Eye of the Needle (1981).

Director Oliver Stone’s Salvador is an unflinching depiction of the Salvadoran Civil War as seen through the camera lens of Richard Boyle, a down-on-his-luck photojournalist played by James Woods (Once Upon a Time in America) in a searing performance. What begins as Boyle’s attempt to rehabilitate a career slump soon transitions into a compassionate and soul-searching endeavor that will bring to light the atrocities of war. Cast alongside Woods in supporting roles are Jim Belushi (Thief), John Savage (The Deer Hunter) and Michael Murphy (Manhattan).

Donald Sutherland ( M*A*S*H, Don’t Look Now) portrays Henry Faber, a nefarious German spy alongside Kate Nelligan ( The Prince of Tides) as Lucy Rose, a stoic English woman caring for her wounded husband (Christopher Cazenove, TV’s Dynasty) on a remote Scottish isle. Directed by Richard Marquand ( Jagged Edge, Return of the Jedi), Eye of the Needle features a lush score by the renowned Miklós Rózsa ( Ben-Hur).

You'd be better off with the BFI release of Richard III as that has extras whereas this looks like it has none.

[Paul.R.S]

Interesting that there's an "Alternate Ending" on the Sandpiper The Eye Of the Needle. That's not on the TT. And so it begins. Again.

[rdodolak]

SP is also releasing DVD releases of The Fabulous Baker Boys and At Close Range. The former which is receiving a Blu-ray re-release through MVD.

Surprised Severin didn’t grab Equus.

[MifuneFan]

Nice to see they're increasing their output, at least for August.
