You mentioned the six Pacino movies - all of which are good except for Scarface - but I think his best performance is Dog Day Afternoon. Godfather Part II, Scarecrow, Dick Tracy, Serpico, Sea of Love, Donnie Brasco...he gave Oscar-worthy performances in all of those films.

Except Scarface? Dude, are you higher then senor Montana? Scarface is awesome; Not the "only", but definetly memorable and true representation of those life and times. The real-dealin' "coke" culture of the early 80's. Miami Vice at full throttle. Pastels, Art Deco, guns, 100proof nose-whisky and rich cuban accents meng. Pacino made a character that can never be duplicated, only imitated. To say that it wasn't a good acting job is such a wasted statement. I thought it was *beep* for a long time also, but then I turned 3 and realized that good acting can exist within' something that seems to the uninitiated/elightened like immature trifle. PUSH IT TO THE LIMIT!

Now Amazon is saying they don't know when it's going to be released???? What the hell!!!!

I was just on Amazon and noticed that myself. Netflix has also been saying the same thing for weeks. Anybody know what the deal is?

If the U.S. release really has been delayed, and you don't mind watching it on your computer, you can get a DVD version from Amazon.uk, and it's pretty inexpensive.

According to Amazon, the release in now 1/10/2010 which is quite a ways off. I pre-ordered i August, but don't think four years is all that reasonable.

I've been waiting for this DVD to come out for a while. What is the UK site to go on where you could oreder the DVD NOW, or is there no way to get it until 2010 (which would suck!)

reply

Amazon now says it'll be released on January 1, 2010. I am pissed off.

reply

That's what Amazon.com says when there is no release date yet. It should definitely be sooner than 2010.

reply

It's been rescheduled for February. This, Author! Author!, and a 4 disc Pacino Boxset are all coming out at the same time.
