Title: ROBINSON CRUSOE ON MARS Gets Deluxe DVD Release from Criterion Post by: Raffine on June 19, 2007, 08:14:30 PM (http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t214/morrisawilliams/404_box_348x490.jpg)
http://www.criterion.com/asp/release.asp?id=404 (http://www.criterion.com/asp/release.asp?id=404) Criterion has announced the release in September of a special edition loaded with extras of 1964's b-movie favorite ROBINSON CRUSOE ON MARS. I hope there's a commentary by Mona the Woolly Monkey. I've enjoyed many of Criterion's "legit" releases, but I'm constantly impressed by their taste in b-movies, releasing the likes of THE HONEYMOON KILLERS, FIEND WITHOUT A FACE, CARNIVAL OF SOULS, THE NAKED KISS, THE BLOB, EQUINOX, THE ATOMIC SUBMARINE, etc. Title: Re: ROBINSON CRUSOE ON MARS Gets Deluxe DVD Release from Criterion Post by: Allhallowsday on June 19, 2007, 08:36:55 PM I like this movie, and most of the others you mention (I've got their CARNIVAL OF SOULS, one of my favorites). I'll be keeping an eye out for MARS.

Title: Re: ROBINSON CRUSOE ON MARS Gets Deluxe DVD Release from Criterion Post by: The Burgomaster on June 21, 2007, 07:03:15 PM They used to show this on TV about once every two months on Saturday afternoons when I was a kid back in the early 1970s. I watched it over and over again. Then I saw part of it on TV about 10 years ago and couldn't believe how bad Paul Mantee's acting was. Can't wait for the DVD.
Title: Re: ROBINSON CRUSOE ON MARS Gets Deluxe DVD Release from Criterion Post by: Raffine on June 21, 2007, 07:41:04 PM I remember seeing this for the first time as a kid and thinking how cool it was they used those neat Martian ships from Pal's WAR OF THE WORLDS.
They're much zipper in this movie!

Out of 400+ titles, I can only think of a handful I did not care for (namely Armageddon :hatred:). But the release of Robinson Crusoe On Mars is great news! I haven't been this excited since Sweet Movie was announced! |
