Hey everyone, just wanted to give you all an update on CriterionCast. We’re currently producing the podcast on a weekly basis, we’ve worked out most of the audio quality kinks, and have had a couple of guests on our show.
You can check out our blog at http://criterioncast.com/ where you can find our schedule of movies we’ll be discussing, links to our iTunes page, and other various Criterion-related articles.
Let us know what you think, send us feedback via e-mail/voicemail/twitter. (follow us at http://twitter.com/criterioncast)
We all love film as much as you guys, but we’re obviously doing this in our spare time. We’re all working pretty hard on getting this whole podcasting thing down, so stick with us.
Hey everyone, I just wrote up a post on http://criterioncast.com on all of the additions from today. It is complete with links for all of the films, check it out when you have a chance. http://criterioncast.com/2009/12/21/criterion-on-netflix/
I just wrote up a post for criterioncast.com with all of today’s additions, with linked images to their Netflix pages, along with a few trailers.You can find the post at http://criterioncast.com/2010/01/22/more-criterion-on-netflix/ Hopefully you’ll find it a useful post to bookmark.
I’m watching the Lionsgate Blu-ray right now, and switching back and forth to the Criterion DVD to figure out the changes. There are english subtitles, but they have been changed from the Criterion subtitles. At some points the subtitles seem less edgy, contain more slang, while at others, the Lionsgate Blu-ray actually has subtitles at parts where the Criterion DVD doesn’t even translate the french (specifically, the scene where we first meet Jack Palance’s character, it actually creates a totally different mood). The image quality is not leaps and bounds better than the Criterion DVD, so if you can hold out, I would suggest renting this before making the purchase. I’m working on my review for criterioncast.com.
Netflix added another 11 Criterion films today to Watch Instantly. Included among them is todays DVD/Blu-ray release: Revanche, as well as the newly restored print of the Red Shoes! I wrote up a post about the additions over at CriterionCast.com: http://criterioncast.com/2010/02/16/netflix-watch-instantly-adds-some-more-criterion-films-powell-and-pressburger-david-lean-laurence-olivier-and-gotz-spielmann-criterion-on-netflix/
It looks like they snuck Oliver Twist in there over the past few days, since the latest announcement. I’m updating the post on CriterionCast right now.
There are actually more films contained within the Criterion Collection, available for free on Hulu. I just wrote up a post on CriterionCast with 7 other films: http://criterioncast.com/2010/02/23/criterion-on-hulu/
Yeah, it looks like we’re going to get: night and the city, jeanne dielman, that hamilton woman, lola montes, and breathless in April on Netflix Watch Instantly.
@Tron, I updated the post several days after I wrote it, saying that Netflix has taken many of the films have been extended, which I have to assume is because of the number of people who went and added these films to their instant queues.
The Time Bandits, Withnail and I, Long Good Friday, and Mona Lisa Blu-rays were released in August by Image Entertainment. The DVDs that are coming out next February are the same releases, just in standard definition, meaning they are all fairly barebones releases.
Handmade Films is the company that produced all of those titles, and Image is distributing. I doubt the Criterion releases will go out of print, but I don’t think Criterion has the option to release Blu-rays themselves.

Why did we change our name to MUBI? about 2 years ago
This feels very similar to when The Sci-Fi Channel went SyFy.
