Re: Non-MoC Eureka titles?
We bit off more than we could chew (and it wasn't cooked properly). Sorry.
All hope is not lost, but we thought it best to take it off the schedule completely instead of continuing to muck about.

Isn't that the Spanish horror film? I've been meaning to see that and am glad if it is the title I'm thinking of.

Re: Non-MoC Eureka titles?
I included "Who Can Kill A Child?" in my annual horror movie-a-thon this past October. I highly enjoyed the film and was quite surprised that it had taken me this long (33 years) to get around to watching it. I felt the Dark Sky Films DVD release was adequate, and I would snatch this up in a hurry if it were being released on blu-ray from Eureka but I guess it's not meant to be right now.

SYNOPSIS:
One of the best films from Italian genre master Sergio Sollima (The Big Gundown), Faccia a Faccia (Face to Face ) is a gangbusting western saga and a gripping parable of the rise of fascism. Upstanding history professor Brad Fletcher (played by the incomparable Gian Maria Volonte) is forced into retirement by his poor health and moves west for the warmer climate. Almost as soon as he arrives, however, he is taken hostage by famed bandit Solomon Bennett (the great Tomas Milian) in an accidental confrontation, and by necessity is forced to take up with his cohorts. But the learned man's growing identification with the gang encourages him to stage a takeover from Bennett, and a new crueller system of leadership is put into place.
Produced by Sergio Leone's longtime partner Alberto Grimaldi, featuring stunning Techniscope cinematography, and a pounding score by il maestro Ennio Morricone, this long-requested Italian western makes its first appearance on Blu-ray anywhere in the world from a beautiful high-definition master, with both English and Italian soundtracks.

Blu-ray? Should at least be cheaper than the Fox Twilight Time.

Sweet deal, out of curiosity do you have any other Fox titles in the wing particularly any that are also coming out through their Twilight Time branch? I'd love to see an anamorphic Violent Saturday.

Re: Non-MoC Eureka titles?
Over at Blu-ray.com, Kevin dropped a hint about two upcoming theatrical and DVD (possibly Blu) releases from Eureka. After a little searching, I found that the two films in question are Guilty of Romance by Sion Sono and The Yellow Sea by Na Hong-jin (see MOC/Eureka discussion over at Blu-ray.com and this Twitter page).

Re: Non-MoC Eureka titles?
Sono's new film and The Yellow Sea are excellent purchases for Eureka, and I hope that both titles get released in HD. More of that, please! How about Saya Zamurai (by Hitoshi Matsumoto) to be released in Japan in June, or the new Koki Mitani pic Once In A Blue Moon/Suteki na Kanashibari due in late 2011? Koki Mitani is woefully underrepresented in the West and it'd be a timely reminder that the Japanese can excel at smart comedy.

I wouldn't mind, if we're looking at Japanese comedies, some Yamada either. What little of his massive amount of work that is available in the west suggests one of the greatest talents alive today.

Eureka confirming theatrical release dates for the Sono and The Yellow Sea in their press release:
Maybe Kevin will be able to confirm if there's going to be a 6 months window between the theatrical release and the home video release (hopefully Blus for both)?EUREKA ENTERTAINMENT to distribute Guilty of Romance and The Yellow Sea in the UK & Eire
EUREKA ENTERTAINMENT would like to announce that they will be distributing the Japanese film Guilty of Romance & the Korean film The Yellow Sea (Hwanghae) in the UK & Eire.

Re: Non-MoC Eureka titles?
No big deal for me. But I placed my order back in October. Since then I received two emails I believe delaying the release. But there was no other explanation.
