Unfortunately it's not very good- Arkin is definitely trying to balance tones in a manner similar to Little Murders but it doesn't work where that film is a masterpiece, despite a few promising setpieces

Their edition of Red Rock West is up for an August release!

Looks like The Paper Chase made it out the door (beaver).

Wonder if they'll finally get around to Houdini as well…

Diabolikdvd tweeted that this is getting a US release from a "respected label." Since they are not carrying this UK release I suspect either Vinegar Syndrome or Arrow will be the label releasing it in the US.

Yeah, Signal One can’t catch a break. Hopefully this means more than just the old master will be getting reused.

I think they still have Houdini and Villa Rides on the way as they posted this as part of a reply on their Facebook page: "Then we are moving on to some Paramount classics. Watch this space!"

I also think they still might have Talk Radio left from their Universal deal (the other being Red Rock West, which was recently put up for pre-order). In fact they've taken their time but made good on most promises - AFAIK, the only two they've dropped from the Fox deal was The Inspector and Moving Violations, so they've actually done pretty well!

Worth mentioning they have a sale on at the moment too...

If any is tired of waiting for the region 1 Red Rock West to materialize, I just received my Plan B disc from Rarewaves and can confirm that it is, as the cool kids all say, sans regione.

Looks great to my eyes, and a nice slate of extras.

I just noticed Signal One is putting out Paul Bartel's Death Race 2000, for anyone that doesn't want to pay $100+ for the OOP Shout release
