The column returns as Moisés looks at Criterion's February releases and offers his advice on what to buy in the Barnes & Noble 50% off sale.

Moisés wraps up his Soderbergh retrospective.

Moisés continues our first experiment in long form retrospectives, taking us from Soderbergh’s third feature, KAFKA, to OCEAN’S ELEVEN a full ten years later.

Welcome to Badass Digest’s week-long Steven Soderbergh career retrospective.

Moisés finally picks a name and regular format for his Criterion column and digs into a bunch of recent news, discs, rumors, and idle speculation. He’s also started re-numbering at #1 just like a comic book reboot (just to frustrate continuity nuts).

This is easily the second best news of the day behind that amazing Drew Struzan FRANKENSTEIN print.

He’s the new boss’ new boss. No one on Twitter reads for context. Read on for (gasp) context.

More Kubrick and Polanski join the Collection, along with a great modern Korean film. They pay tribute to Jean Vigo and Koreyoshi Kurahara with a pair of box sets. Cocteau’s Orpheus, Battle of Algiers, and If… get Blu-ray upgrades. Read on for more details.

The Playstation Network (PSN) was supposed to be back up by now after a major outage and security breach, but it’s still offline. I can’t help but think of Fantastic Fest 2010 fave SUMMER WARS.

Last year, Criterion started licensing films from MGM for DVD and Blu-ray release, and these two are great examples of why that’s a good thing.

In July, Criterion is adding three new films to their Collection alongside three major Blu-ray upgrades, spanning various genre and countries. Criterion also announced that they are offering Charlie Chaplin’s Modern Times at a 50% discount with coupon code MODERN as supplies last through April 17th.

It was only a matter of time…and money.

We don’t usually cover “hey, movie X is gonna be on Blu-ray” press releases so as to not clog your RSS feeds. A notable exception occurs when a studio licenses 25-year-old commentary tracks from Criterion that include Martin Scorsese.
