Have any of you seen “Night watch”? It’s a very good Russian Sci-Fi / Fantasy movie. It’s been out on DVD for some time, but since Fox bought all American distribution rights, they have mandated to stop making NTSC formatted dvds of it. The disk has been slowly disappearing from even Russian stores in America. And Fox kept postponing the release (next week), while sequel “Day Watch” is already out in Russia. Ain’t US movie studios great 😉 :(
Is anyone interested in talking about Russian Cinema in general?
