DVD Express a pretty good track record so far, with new
releases arriving the day before or day of the release date.

"Comin At Ya!" is being distributed by Rhino's home video dept,
and will be presented in full color anaglyph 3-D. Dimension Three
is in charge of the 3-D transfer to anaglyph, and has a still from
the DVD on their website. http://www.3dcompany.com/news.html
..while you're there, check out the nice anaglyph screen shots from
the film "Jaws 3-D". (Which is to air in Poland)
Rhino home Video is also preparing Arch Obler's "The Bubble"
for a DVD release, but no firm release date has been set. Ditto
for Obler's last 3-D film "Domo Arigato", which is currently
being planned for VHS only.
Universal has been releasing their horror classics on DVD and
have been using DVD's 'second layer' to provide extras like
alternate versions, specials, etc.. along with the film. I'm hoping
they provide a 3-D version of "Creature from the Black Lagoon"
as well, which is unofficially slated for a release late this year.
(And "Creature.." was shot in B&W, so we wouldn't have to
deal with the side effects of 'full color' anaglyph 3-D conversions.)
