    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Cleopatra (1963) - U.S. Release -- in Blu-ray

    Cleopatra has been a fixture on Disney+ since the streaming setvice lauched, so perhaps it will eventually get a new 4K remaster, if not a 4K UHD disc release.

    Your thoughts on Kino-Lorber Blu-rays

    I'm hoping that the rights issue holding up the Paramount film Ash Wednesday (1973), starring Elizabeth Taylor and Henry Fonda, can be resolved and the film released on Blu-ray by Kino. It might have something to do with the Ray Charles song Ruby, which was replaced on the VHS, the last time it...

    A few words about...™ - A Haunting in Venice -- in Blu-ray

    I nearly didn't see this film based on the trailer but I went anyway and loved it. It's as loosely based on "Hallowe'en Party" as it could possibly be, but a lot of fun and wonderfully atmospheric. Easily my favourite of the three Branagh Poirot films...
