Two Paul Newman titles from the recently released Paul Newman Tribute Collection (pictured right) I mentioned on Tuesday, a look at a film I watched in preparation for one of last week’s screenings and a reminder of a Blu-ray I recently reviewed make up this week’s list.
On top of everything below, on Saturday I went to a screening of the Toy Story and Toy Story 2 3-D double feature, which ended up being a lot of fun as I am pretty sure it was the first time I actually saw Toy Story 2 on the bigscreen. The 3-D is quite good and the opening moments of Toy Story 2 lend themselves so well to the format it’s almost surprising it wasn’t originally intended to be released in 3-D. Of course, as with all quality films, the 3-D does nothing for the story. These films were never considered classics for their visual appeal as much as they were for their ability to tell a story. Sure, the gimmick is sorta fun, but not at all necessary. I’m curious though, how many of you plan on checking out the 3-D double feature during its two-week run beginning October 2?
