Got some new releases for BR and HD:

Black Rain 1/23/07
Failure to Launch 2/06/07

They both appear NOT to be combos. So good news for all.

I got the street date info from our stores distributor. They are pretty reliable when it comes to this. They've been accurate so far with all of their announcements.

Let's just hope that Paramount will release more than one catalog title a month during 1Q 2007!

here's all the info they gave for the Black Rain as of right now:

Paramount Black Rain 01/23/07

That's pretty much it. Here's the UPC #097363222019

That's about it. They just put this info up on their site for preorder. So i'm sure they will be adding more info in the coming days.

Aw, too bad. I suspected as much, but I held out faint hope...

I have the Japanese Black Rain on DVD, and it's a much more interesting movie.



It's directed by the same guy who directed Unagi and The Pornographers (which has a Criterion release).

Might be a bad idea. There are a couple of japanese language scenes in the movie. Since the jap. HD-DVDs don´t normaly have english subs, you won´t understand a thing during these scenes (unless you speak japanese of course )

...no different than watching my Kill Bill Japanese DVDs.

Seen the film quite a few times to know what's going on.

As usual, I would most likely buy the HD DVD versions of both, unless the HD DVD is the combo version.

Paramount pulled the title for unknown production reasons in January. Most likely it has to do with the Blu-Ray release more than the HD-DVD release, this is the same issue with Warner Bros. not releasing titles. Both Paramount and Warner Bros. want to be neutral now, so if the Blu-Ray version doesn't work then the HD-DVD version is delayed until the Blu-Ray is ready. Right now we're hearing April for "Failure To Launch", but of course that can change if more problem arise.
