Air Force One deluxe

Last month, Varese Sarabande unveiled a killer trifecta of CD Club titles that featured their most requested expansion, a repress of one of their most beloved reissues of the decade, and the premiere of a classic Western score. The CD Club began some 30 years ago, but since its original soundtrack release in 1997, fans have yearned for a more complete presentation of Jerry Goldsmith's score to Air Force One. The hit action film stars Harrison Ford as an American president fighting a band of

Desmond Davis' Greek myth epic Clash of the Titans was part Hollywood throwback, part modern action film for 1981. Harry Hamlin, as Perseus (the son of the god Zeus, as portrayed by Laurence Olivier), fights a brilliant array of monsters created by stop-motion animation
