Matilda Back On Slate – Still Full Screen
03/30/2005
Columbia Tristar has issued a new date for the much delayed Matilda Special Edition. It is slated for release on June 7th, but it’s still being released in a modified aspect ratio, according to Sony’s web site . This is indeed a travesty, as this film makes fine use of the widescreen frame. This is a slap in the face to the films many fans, and to those who complained about this release when it was first announced in late 2003. Knowing the history of this DVD, I’ve almost given up on ever owning this title on Reigon 1 DVD. I imported the proper widescreen R2 DVD months ago, and I have enjoyed it immensely.
