Ok, so I have 2 sections I'd like to get through today before the week is out, something to keep your interest piqued.

Paramount
: This just in, although it may have been mentioned before but Paramounts titles for June and July are as follows:

June 8, 2001
• Breakfast at Tiffany's
• Days of Thunder
• Clear & Present Danger
• Patriot Games
• An Office and a Gentleman
• The Naked Gun
• A Civil Action
• The Out of Towners
• The Ghost and the Darkness
• Star Trek 6: The Undiscovered Country

July 6, 2001
• Mission: Impossible 2
• The Presidio
• The Hunt for Red October
• Black Rain
• Barbarella
• Naked Gun 2 1/2
• Witness
• Star Trek 5: The Final Frontier

Looks like there is a Trek trend happening here so we may be able to assume movies 4, 3, 2 and 1 will appear in each subsequent month, enough for the entire collection to be available by Christmas. The 3rd installment of the Naked Gun may appear aswell. Tom Cruise fans will have their allocated dosage fulfilled with Harrison Ford and Sean Connery making a splash, which begs the question, Where is the Indiana Jones Trilogy Paramount?

True Lies?
One of my favorite movies cut? Well, reports from many region 2 UK DVD sites are stating that they will be receiving a 'cut' version of this Arnold classic which is infuriating to say the least, particularly after the recent Fox/MGM titles to suffer the same fate.

I took it upon myself to quiz Columbia Tristar, the local distributors of the DVD here in region 4, and they assured me that our release will be UNCUT. I have faith in them but the evidence will be confirmed once the reviews are up and this reviewer knows the movie back-to-front if my laserdisc is anything to go by. Our release is also delayed from the last word so I'm going out on a limb here and assuming this is because they are sourcing an alternate cut. Kudos to Columbia on that one.

Cheers,
Steve
