The Duke Says - Had there been any extras on this, it would've been one of the picks, for sure. We'll just have to hold out till a decent one arrives. What this is, is a criminally underrated flick concerning Danny DeVito is a monster-movie TV presenter type, and next thing he knows, there's a nazi living next door. Brilliant is what this is.

The Duke Says - Not to be confused with the recent boxset comprising Goodfellas, Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore and so on, this is just a collection of a handful of otherwise available discs. If you don't own any, though, this is a must motherfucking own. Boxcar Bertha, The Last Waltz, New York, New York and Raging Bull are all here. The weakest link is probably the Corman produced Boxcar Bertha, but it still rules. The Duke would advise waiting for the proposed special edition of Raging Bull, though. Also, I can't find info on whether New York, New York is the full-length directors cut, or the butchered theatrical version. The VHS I have clocks in at just over three hours, so I'll have to check this shit out.
The Duke (Aaron McMullan to his parents and the clergy) is a Northern Irish writer, performer and insomniac currently residing in London. He is the creator of Mondo Irlando, wherein his scribblings and hollerings can be found. He is currently working towards the completion of his first novel, and his debut "punk / country / folk / whatever" album has recently been released by Ex Libris Records . You can also pop by His MySpace Page and maybe have a coffee and a biscuit.

I'm a sucker for annotated lists of cool shit, so you've signed yourself up one more (at least) dedicated reader here.
I'm surprised (amazed?) that the Scorcese collection doesn't include Mean Strets. Mean Streets = Masterpiece.
I need to add Zoolander to my Netflix list -- always heard good things about it.

Shelob, Frodo & Bilbo - Steely Dan would be cast aside.
Neat reviews, Duke - did The Yakuza Papers help you in your travails?
hey folks.
No, The Yakuza Papers helped not one damn jot, even though there's like six thousand of them.
Matt, thanks for the Godzilla details. Sounds cool as hell.
And Eric, it is somewhat odd that Mean Streets hasn't mde either of the boxes (i thought it made the first region 1 affair, but may be wrong. certianly not on the region 2 edition). There was a sepcial edition of it released not so long ago, i'm pretty sure, or was scheduled, anyhow, with a scorsese commentary. That'd be worth looking out for. And yes, Zoolander is brilliant.
Yakuza is Japanese, not Korean. Korean is dogs. You not call Yakuza dogs, or Yakuza make you sorry you born.
Maybe the Duke intended to call dem dogs dogs
But, even the Korean mafia are called Yakuza - ref crimelibrary
The Korean yakuza are a powerful presence in Japan, despite the fact that Koreans suffer discrimination in Japanese society. Although Japanese-born people of Korean ancestry are a significant segment of the Japanese population, they are still considered resident aliens. But Koreans, who are often shunned in legitimate trades, are embraced by the Japanese yakuza precisely because they fit the group's "outsider" image. The man who paved the way for Koreans in Japanese organized crime was the Korean yakuza godfather Hisayuki Machii.

I'll chime in here with one:
Godzilla Tokyo SOS: A sequel to 2002's Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla, this one has just about everything. Even Mothra. It's fast, has a surprsing amount of human drama, and it even has 21-minutes of bonus footage! Sony gets better with these discs every release. As for the video and audio, well, you'll just have to wait for my full review (end shameless plug).
