Eat your heart out, Rog, my daughter found "Johnny Cash at Montreaux, 1994" DVD concert, $10, 25 songs, two with June, the original band plus John Carter Cash, unbelievable. Best concert album of Johnny's I have ever seen. Look for this. It was in a regular slot in Wal-Mart.

This week brought me the Busby Berkeley Collection, The Ten Commandments (silent original and big-budget remake), and Capote. Oh, and from Sinister Cinema I got some cheap horrors, including Monster of Piedras Blancas and From Hell It Came.

Can anybody tell me what the extras are on the 3-disc WIZARD OF OZ?

Paul: I'm not sure about all the extras but there is a map to where my house was before the cyclone.

Well, for one thing, it has four (I think) silent versions of Oz tales, including the one with Oliver Hardy.

Look for the disc on Amazon.com. They list all the extras there.

I laugh at you, sir! I bought that about a year ago. You'd expect no less from Johnny Cash's biggest fan, right?

Picked up The Ten Commandments 50th Anniversary Edition. Not may favorite title but the 1923 silent version makes a heck of an extra.

I thought the 1956 version was the extra!

------

The vintage extras on The Wizard of Oz are:

The Wizard of Oz (Selig 1910)

The Magic Cloak (3r 1917 American Motion Picture re-release of original 5r 1914 "The Magic Cloak of Oz" Oz Film Co. production)

His Majesty, The Scarecrow of Oz (1914 Oz Film Co.)

The Wizard of Oz (1925 Chadwick – the Oliver Hardy version)

The Wizard of Oz (1933 unreleased cartoon by Ted Eshbaugh)

Another Romance of Celluloid: Electrical Power (1938 MGM short)

Any chance they will release the silent version of THE TEN COMMANDMENTS by itself? I already have the 1956 on disc and I don't really want to repurchase the new set just for the silent version. It is the only new extra on the new set.

Probably not.

If the 1956 version was the extra then it would have been the 83rd Anniversary Edition.

Well the new release of THE TEN COMMANDMENTS was only $18.99 at my local DVD shop, so I may bite the bullet and pick it up later this week. I would like that silent version, and it has a commentary as well, so the price is pretty reasonable.

While I was there, I did pick up the Alpha version of BURN 'EM UP BARNES; as well as the new release of the classic STALAG 17 and the first season of HG WELL'S INVISIBLE MAN.

This week's picks included Astro Boy: Ultra Collector's Edition DVD Set, Vol. 1, the Del Tenney Double Feature (Horror of Party Beach and Curse of the Living Corpse), and a couple of films I found at the local used DVD jernt, Criterion's Diary of a Chambermaid and the 1960 gangster fave Pretty Boy Floyd.

I got a quartet of Randolph Scott westerns this week. They're probably not his best work but only one of his movies with Budd Boetticher is available so far. The ones I got were A Lawless Street, Man In The Saddle, The Stranger Wore A Gun and Ten Wanted Men.

I think you'll be happy, rogmeister. I've seen all but one and liked 'em. Of course the best Scott western is HANGMAN'S KNOT, which isn't a Boetticher either.
