- This one’s news to us (dunno how we missed it), but the View Askew production “Reel Paradise†will hit DVD in less than a week – February 14, 2006! Had we known this was arriving so soon, we’d have tried to snag an advance copy and get a review up for you. Luckily, the always thorough DVDTalk has their own review of the acclaimed documentary up for your reading pleasure. Doesn’t look like a project Kevin or Scott got involved with as far as the disc goes, though. Here’s what they list for extras, in addition to the film itself:
Also included are 16 minutes worth of Deleted Scenes, an Alternate Ending, and Filmmaker Biographies of John, Janet, and Steve James.
Split Screen: “The Fiji Stooges†is the segment from that series that inspired Reel Paradise in the first place, while 180 Meridian Cinema: The Year in Pictures isn’t a photo gallery but rather a list of all the free movies that played during the Pierson’s year-long stay. Finally, a 4:3 letterboxed Trailer rounds out the extras.
Unfortunately, we were unable to make it up to the NYC premiere of “Reel Paradiseâ€, so we’ll be watching it for the first time along with the rest of you. We look forward to it, and recommend you pick it up in stores next week. Tell your sweetheart you’ll take it in lieu of flowers and chocolates and stuff.
