New Blu-ray/DVD Releases

[Mike...In 3-D!]

While there are some nice little gems in this set, to call it "The Ultimate Collection" of Hammer films is a bit of a stretch. The Ultimate Collection of B-sides would probably be a better description.

It bums me out that the Hammer library is scattered among different companies. I'd love to see a single, massive set.

[Mike Scott]

Coming from Mill Creek on November 17:

I guess this is the complete collection of all the Columbia released Hammer films?

I have everything on there except for the 6 Asian Peril, Pirate and War movies.

The official Voltage Films, Ltd. trailer:

The picture above is a screen capture from the trailer.  Looks like they will be using only the best available quality clips for this effort - unlike many other documentaries.  Besides the participation of Sara Karloff, they must be getting great cooperation from the studios.

[Mike Scott]

Looks pretty good!    He really is underrated as an actor.
