Chicago – Welcome back to the Round-Up, a safety net to catch the DVD titles that fell off the mainstream tightrope. The titles this week have virtually nothing in common other than coming in two waves from two studios - a pair of classics from Paramount’s Centennial Collection and a trio of indie films from the great Magnolia Pictures.

All five titles were released on May 19th, 2009.

“Centennial Collection #8: The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance”

Photo credit: Paramount Synopsis: “”This is the West, sir. When the legend becomes fact, print the legend.” Behind the camera? John Ford, a director whose name is synonymous with “Westerns.” Gathered in front of it? An ideal cast – James Stewart, John Wayne, Vera Miles and Lee Marvin. Now presented on two discs, with all-new special features, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance rides into town as classic entry in the Paramount Centennial Collection.

IGN Movies has premiered the U.S. trailer for the French sci-fi horror film Eden Log; you can see it below. The movie begins its limited theatrical run next February as part of Magnolia Pictures’ 6-Shooter Film Series.

Directed by Franck Vestiel, who scripted with Pierre Bordage, Eden Log is about a man (Malefique’s Clovis Cornillac) who wakes up in a deep cave next to a dead body with no idea how he got there. As he tries to make his way to safety, he discovers the ruins of an underground civilization and has to evade a strange creature that’s pursuing him.

Magnet Releasing gave Fango the final U.S. release poster for Eden Log; check it out below. The movie opens in January as part of the company’s Six Shooter Film Series, which also includes Let The Right One In (debuting today in New York and La), Timecrimes (coming in December) and Donkey Punch (February).

Directed by Franck Vestiel from a script he wrote with Pierre Bordage, Eden Log is about a man who awakens in the middle of a subterranean cave system and tries to figure out where he is and how to escape—while being stalked by strange, threatening creatures. Clovis Cornillac, from Eric Valette’s much-praised Malefique, stars. You can check out the official Six Shooter website, where an Eden Log trailer will soon be posted, here.
