    Netflix Maestro

    Agree very much with Jake's review. Took a bit to realize this film was not going to focus on the creative process of Bernstein, but rather his relationship with his wife. I was a little disappointed with that angle. However, it is a well made movie with great acting. Mulligan in paticular...

    The Abyss (4K special edition) in theaters 12/6/23

    Saw it at a large theatre here in Toronto with a big crowd. My first time in a theatre since seeing it in 70mm blow up in 1989. I thought it held up very well and the audience was really into it, applauding at the end of one scene and again at the conclusion. Only the effects in the latter part...

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

    Watched this recently and enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. Definitely worth a look.

    Press Release Warner Archive Collection Announcement: Tarzan, The Ape Man (1932) (Blu-ray)

    Has to be an improvement over the pretty sorry print they show on TCM.

    A New Receiver

    My old Panasonic receiver is finally giving up the ghost so I am in the market for a new one. I am trying to decide between The Marantz Cinema 60, Yamaha RX-A6A and the Denon AVR-X4800H. Most of my viewing is either on television (streaming through my cable company), the occasional blu-ray andI...

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Sweet Charity - in Blu-ray

    The intermission comes when the lights go out in the elevator and they strike some matches and start to yell, "Help". That's where the intermission comes as on the screen it says..."To be continued". After intermission we see them exiting the elevator.

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Sweet Charity - in Blu-ray

    Had the good fortune to see the 4K of this screened at the Lightbox here in Toronto yesterday - home of the Toronto International Film Festival. The screenings are always of stellar quality. They actually moved the film to one of their two largest theatres due to the crowds and showed it with an...

    Press Release Warner Archive Collection Announcement: Land of the Pharaohs (1955) (Blu-ray)

    Watched this recently on TCM. The book scenes are laughable, but it is undoubtedly a spectacle - particularly in the earlier scenes.

    Gordon Lightfoot Dies at 84

    A true Canadian icon. I grew up on his music.

    Titanic (1997)

    I saw the 3D conversion on an Imax screen. It was very impressive. It really gave you a sense of how high the upper decks were from the water and what a jump down it was for people.

    Babylon (2022)

    A big budget film for adults getting a theatrical release. I am hopeful because if many more of these fail they will disappear from theatres completely.

    Disney+ Disenchanted (2022)

    Enjoyed the first movie mainly for Amy Adam's performance. Watched this last night. It was pretty terrible. Can't think of any redeeming features other than the baby was cute...and that is grasping at straws.

    UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ Elvis -- in 4k UHD Blu-ray

    Not only dubbed but Zsa Zsa does one of the worst jobs of lip synching ever seen in the movies.

    Favorite Old School 70mm Cinemas

    I particulary loved the University and saw many films there such as STAR, SWEET CHARITY, FIDDLER ON THE ROOF, APOCALYPSE NOW, a reissue of WEST SIDE STORY, THE RIGHT STUFF and many others. The Eglinton was a nice theatre but didn't have quite the same impact. Of course, for almost three years...
