Updates for existing entries:

The film currently listed as Night of the Devil's Bride should actually be given as NIGHT OF THE DEVIL BRIDE (1975).

The international title of STEP UP: REVOLUTION (2012) is now STEP UP 4: MIAMI HEAT.

The original on-screen title of Korean film STOP EARTH! I WANT TO GET OFF (1974) is 지구여 멈춰라 내리고 싶다, not the transliteration currently provided.

Updates for existing entries (all but one supplied by S Martin - thanks again!):

ADRENALIN RUSH is the international English title of Korean film QUICK (2011).

AFTER (2012) is now confirmed as having been shot with J-D-C anamorphic lenses. The earlier blog entry which first queried this title has now been amended. Same thing for SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK (2012), now confirmed as Techniscope.

The copyright date of Massy Tadjedin's LAST NIGHT is 2009, not 2010.

Claude Berri's UNE FEMME DE MÉNAGE (2002) is currently listed with a grave accent over the 'E', but it should be an acute, as given here. Also, the film was shot in 'spheri-crop' format, not anamorphic Technovision as currently given.

Sadly, LES MISÉRABLES (2012) - which you'd think was an obvious contender for scope status - has been framed for 1.85:1 and will be released as such later this year. Just to confuse things, the various trailers which recently appeared on-line were all framed at 2.39:1. Can't imagine why this epic story wasn't given the more expansive visual treatment...

Also, CONCEIVING ADA (1997) is confirmed as spherical 1.85:1 rather than anamorphic Panavision, as currently listed, and has now been dropped from the filmog altogether.

Updates and corrections for existing entries:

The original Cyrillic title of ANDREI RUBLEV (1966) is Андрей Рублёв.

BLOODTHIRSTY EYES (1971) is currently listed as having been shot in Panavision, though there is no such credit on the film itself. I've revised the entry so it reflects the film's uncredited anamorphic status.

Gary Couzens writes to let me know that I made a mistake whilst correcting the entry for CROCODILE DUNDEE (1986) in the posting for 21 June. The director should be listed as Peter Faiman, not 'Peter Fairman'. That blog entry has now been revised.
