September 12th, 2005 by Cinema Eye

It’s Tuesday! That of course means new DVDs. Here are a few of this weeks highlights…

THE DIRECTOR’S LABEL Volumes 4-7
It’s going to be a very expensive week for me because I have to get all four of these. The first three volumes are easily 3 of my most frequently played DVDs. Each disc comes with a very thick squarebound book of photos and writing about the featured director. If you are a film student and you don’t already have Volumes 1-3, it’s time to start skipping a few meals. If I had to pick just one it would be the Mark Romanek set which has several pieces that I know I will watch over and over.
RUMBLEFISH
This is one of my favorite Coppola films. It kind of got overlooked since it came out in the wake of THE OUTSIDERS, but I actually like this movie a lot more. The cast is spectacular and the black and white cinematography is outstanding. Spielberg got all the credit for black and white with a touch of color in SCHINDLER’S LIST, but Coppola did it here years earlier. I’ve never seen this on anything but VHS, so I am really looking forward to it.

There’s a complete list of todays releases after the jump. If you haven’t been to the store yet, consider using these handy links to add to your collection while helping to support Cinema Eye. Use the comments link to let us know what you bought (or wish you could afford) this week.
