Warner Archives releases Urgh!, Bad Ronald, Mike's Murder and more
Though we don't intend to turn Newswire into a promotional arm of the DVD industry, some home video news is too good to let fall through the cracks. Five months ago we told you about Warner Archives, a service through which Warner Brothers is getting some of the less-mainstream titles in their vaults to fans who've been clamoring for them, by burning DVDs on demand. Warner Archives has been adding roughly two dozen new titles a month since launching, and in the program's latest wave, they've moved beyond little-known movie classics of the studio era and have added more TV movies and cult films--including some titles that have been on "Why isn't this on DVD yet?" wishlists for years. For example: Urgh! A Music War, the 1980 New Wave concert film that this very website clamored for last year. Also: the controversial 1974 teen horror TV movie Bad Ronald, the 1984 "Ozploitation" favorite Razorback, the 1983 neo-noir Mike's Murder, the Jodie Foster/Robbie Robertson/Gary Busey oddity Carny, the Michael Crichton thriller The Terminal Man, and more. Check out the full list (and ordering options, if you're into that, no pressure) here.
