Games

Newly corrected disc!!
Now for some good news: the Universal/Amazon MOD disc of GAMES (1967) has been corrected by Universal Home Video. The new revised edition surfaced in early November of 2011. I can now heartily recommend it to fans of the film. The pixilation that marred the final chapter has been corrected. The film is presented in anamorphic widescreen (2:35-1).

Games, The ultimate thriller
This is the one of the BEST thrillers I've ever seen. The plot is written to keep even the most intelligent viewers guessing to the end. The movie takes a little time to build steam, but watch out when it does, these guys play some powerful mind, and realistic games.

Unwatchable Quality
This video-on-demand Universal Vault Series DVD looks like it was produced in a fog through a gauze filter, dark, grainy, as if the print used for the copy was completely worn out. It's not watchable. TCM recently showed this film and it looked pristine, so clearly this is a manufacturing problem. It's an interesting, stylish film but its not worth watching in this Amazon on-demand offering. $17.99? You must be kidding. I want my money back.
