    A Few Words About While we wait for A few words about...™ Upcoming projects - in 4k UHD & Blu-ray

    I'm very aware of this release and am looking forward to it. Unfortunately because the nitrate for HANDS UP! wasn't at LoC, it wasn't included in Ben's release.

    A Few Words About While we wait for A few words about...™ Upcoming projects - in 4k UHD & Blu-ray

    Bob, I'm really looking forward to your releases! A suggestion for a possible title would be the great Raymond Griffith comedy HANDS UP! MoMA has beautiful 35mm material on it. All the best.

    Your thoughts on Kino-Lorber Blu-rays

    Such a great Pre-Code treasure and the picture quality is phenomenal. If you're a fan of such films, show some support to Kino for taking a chance on titles like this and buy a copy at their site. It's only $16 bucks and change. I spent over $300 for this on 16mm film years ago and it didn't...

    Will buy GLORIFYING THE AMERICAN GIRL day one and not wait for a future sale. We must show support for titles like this and buy them right out of the gate. Many thanks Kino for releasing this!

    I hope it will be a more straight forward orchestral score than usual from the Alloy folks as this film would suffer with an experimental, bombastic one. Would love the William Perry or Carl Davis scores as an option as they are especially good.

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Baby the Rain Must Fall -- in Blu-ray

    Love the movie. Will have to get the disc at some point. Being a Sony title that Grover Crisp and his team supervised, the disc is sure to look great!

    Paint Your Wagon & Loving You

    Beware of the HD streaming version of PAINT YOUR WAGON on Vudu. It's pan and scan! Didn't find this out until after I bought it.

    The King and I (Blu-ray) Single Available for Preorder

    In the mid to late 2000's, Schawn Belston over at Fox supervised the color grading of THE KING AND I when new photochemical preservation work was being done. A new HD master was created at the time and that version of the film is currently what's available via streaming on sites like Vudu...

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ In the Heat of the Night re-dux (Criterion) - in Blu-ray

    Robert, I remember being at an Academy event years ago and they were saying how the color on the OCN had shifted and they had to call in the YCM's to assist with their restoration at the time. I was surprised too. I can't imagine what may have happened that a 1967 Eastman negative was having...

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ In the Heat of the Night re-dux (Criterion) - in Blu-ray

    There was apparently some issues with color fade in the OCN, if memory serves, which is why the Academy of Motion Pictures did a photochemical restoration a decade or so ago. But the negative was never "lost."

    A Man Alone Blu Ray Review

    The commentary track on the disc of A MAN ALONE, done by Toby Roan, has a factual error that has carried over to the review here. This and other Trucolor films from around 1954 (including the other Ray Milland epic released recently by Kino, LISBON) were NOT shot in Trucolor but on Eastmancolor...

    It's too bad DAREDEVILS OF THE RED CIRCLE didn't sell well. Kino, it would be great if SPY SMASHER could make its way to Blu eventually!

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Dracula aka Horror of Dracula -- in Blu-ray

    For much of the time the Warner Blu-ray does replicate the look of the 16mm British IB Technicolor print that I once had. The one scene where it falls apart a bit is the sequence where Lucy meets the child in the forest. That's a bit too dark, a bit too blue and doesn't have a lot of detail...
