By the Power of Greyskull!!!
I was just joking, sorta, last week when I said my list of films that aren't on DVD but should be actually influenced the announcement of the release of "The Wizard." But after great news I got yesterday, I'm starting to reconsider and believe I do actually have some mystical power that makes studios release long forgotten films from my childhood.
The animated masterpiece "The Secret of the Sword" (1985) is due out July 18 as part of the two disc "The Best of She-Ra Princess of Power."
In case you either don't remember or never had the pleasure of seeing the film in the theaters, "The Secret of the Sword" is possibly the baddest-ass cartoon flick of all time, combining sword-wielding superhero cousins He-Man and She-Ra, against the evil Hordak and his aptly named Evil Horde.
The highlight of the movie is the belted-out cheeseball duet theme song "I Have the Power" by Erika Scheimer and Noam Kaniel. When I was 6 years old, that was my favorite song in the world, and "The Secret of the Sword" the greatest film I'd ever seen. Now I'll get the chance to re-experience those relics of youth to see if they still hold up.
OK, DVD masters, I now command you to put Richard Linklater's "Suburbia" on DVD. Don't make me come over there.








I know you
Osama, is that you??
