Movie Reviews of White Dog
Movie Review: [Revised Title] Criterion #455 *WHITE DOG* December 2008 Release!
Summary: 5 Stars
* ADDENDUM * 10-16-2008:
Well, better late than never!!! Criterion is FINALLY releasing White Dog December 2008!!! Not in Blu-ray but that's okay, this will be the best release ever available in any format to date. Highest Recommendation!
* ADDENDUM * 08-28-2007:
Well, apparently Televista releases mostly VHS quality rips without any thought to quality, so this release of White Dog may turn out to be a real dog after all. Too bad. I'd change my rating but it doesn't appear to be an option.
Hopefully Criterion will release White Dog soon.
* Original review * 08-26-2007:
DISCLAIMER: I don't believe in rating an item that hasn't even been released yet, but since Amazon insists on a rating before allowing a post and since several people to date have already rated it ONE STAR without actually seeing the product, I can only in all fairness give it FIVE STARS in an attempt to balance out the inequity at play.
Why does the Televista release of White Dog get slammed (before it's even released) and not the only other version currently listed on Amazon - which does seem to be a bootleg (search on 'white dog' to see it) and has 5 stars based on 1 review from the vendor themselves.
The Televista is advertised as uncut but the 1.33:1 aspect ratio disturbs me a little since the film was 1.85:1. At any rate, I haven't seen any *official* word from Criteria as to a release date for White Dog, and the last thing I did see was the following response by them to a member of the Criterion forum: "We do hope to get to 'White Dog' at some point, but there isn't a release date scheduled at this time."
Searching the Internet on 'Televista' reveals a checkered past with several hits and misses, but it seems legit and then searching on 'White Dog' and 'Televista' together gets a lot of hits of the title currently being available for pre-order on *many* reputable sites in addition to Amazon. I'd say the Televista should be worth a rental, at least, and that Criterion should jump on releasing White Dog ASAP given the Samuel Fuller 'revival' and all the great Fuller releases that have been coming out lately.
