Treasure of the Sierra Madre (Blu-ray Review)    25 Oct, 2010

The Blu-ray replicates the content of the 2003 'Treasure' DVD, which was one of those whoop-de-doo affairs of a classic title that Warner brings out a few times a year. This means the new release also includes an excellent John Huston documentary and a 49-minute grabber about the movie’s...More>>
