As much as I love the New Beverly and the classic themed revival double-bill, two (or sometimes three) of the exact same type of film can be a bit much. <BR/><BR/>"The Odd Couple" and "Rosemarie's Baby" is, in fact, close to my idea of a perfect night at the movies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795280.post-14903267600061599102007-08-08T14:04:00.000-07:002007-08-08T14:04:00.000-07:00I love the Odd Couple/Rosemary's Baby pairing, esp...I love the Odd Couple/Rosemary's Baby pairing, esp. for the way it implies that RB is a sequel to that Neil Simon smash: "It has Lemmon's eyes!

Here’s the word from <A HREF="http://tinyurl.com/3cxrm6" REL="nofollow"><I>Fangoria</I></A> magazine and the <A HREF="http://tinyurl.com/3bj87m" REL="nofollow"><I>Cinema Blend</I></A> Web site, both confirming the bad news with near identical reports that came out last week.<BR/><BR/>Of course, the way to have seen <I>Grindhouse</I> as a double feature concept was definitely in the theater—reports of those poor folks walking out after <I>Planet Terror</I>, not realizing the movie was only half over, were apparently not rumors. But it would have been nice to have the DVD reflect that experience. Instead, the Weinsteins are gonna try to soak the movie’s fan base for twice the cash this fall. And who will be surprised when that giant five-disc set, containing the separate, extended features AND the original 195-minute double feature (with trailers) comes out sometime next year?<BR/><BR/>I definitely want to see the Cannes-extended <I>Death Proof</I>, but I’m not much interested in Rodriguez’s elongated <I>Planet Terror</I>-- that movie was just the right length as is.Dennis Cozzaliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01954848938471883431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795280.post-20378238408163644692007-08-08T09:52:00.000-07:002007-08-08T09:52:00.000-07:00Speaking of double bills, I thought I read that Gr...Speaking of double bills, I thought I read that Grindhouse will definitely be split in half for DVD.

I suppose my favorite was "1984" and "The Slugger's Wife." Another good one was "The Terminator" and "Falling in Love."Robert Fiorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06357467040644448167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795280.post-16110243679766062472007-08-07T18:10:00.000-07:002007-08-07T18:10:00.000-07:00One of the most infamous of double features was ME...One of the most infamous of double features was MEXICAN SPITFIRE SEES A GHOST with THE MAGNIFICENT AMBERSONS.
