03/27/2003 Archived Entry: "Criterion DVDs"

IF YOU OWN A DVD PLAYER, CRITERION IS THE ONLY NAME FOR DVDS: Truly Criterion are the masters in restoring and presenting the classics on DVD. Their current featured DVD is Henry V, a movie I discussed some months back on this blog and one I can hardly wait to get my hands on.

For an unemployed guy it might be a questionable action, but I ordered Criterion's version of Akira Kurosawa's The Seven Samurai. It had to be done. I'm fighting the urge to get Rashomon, Inagaki's Samurai trilogy, Yojimbo...heck, even Alexander Nevsky.

If, that is, you have no wife and kids and don'yt have to justify spending $36 a pop for them. :)

Ha ha, true enough. But for the classics a wife should cast an understanding eye.
