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

    Absolutely agree. It includes a lot of the dance music. It is a lovely score, the book is only fair. I like the film version but does exclude some of the best songs in the show.

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

    Sadly these Fathom events in my experience have been disappointing at least in the theaters here in Richmond, Va. I would have to agree with vintage films I am happier with my 4K system and surround sound at home (and this is none too fancy) for watching things like MY FAIR LADY. Even sadder my...

    UHD Review Hugo 4K+3D Review

    Sigh.... wonderful review. When I went with a Sony OLED four years ago I gave up 3-D which I had on a Panasonic plasma. Projectors are not possible here unfortunately. I do still own the HUGO 3-D disc and was lucky enough to see it in a theater. Not sure if and when new displays will be...

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ The Searchers -- in High Defintion

    Glad to see THE SEARCHERS and NORTH BY NORTHWEST being restored. For those of us who cannot make it to the festival can only hope 4K discs of both are in the offing. Ah.... VistaVision!!!!

    Will Around the World in 80 Days ever get a special deluxe edition like The Wonderful World of The Brothers Grimm?

    Mr Strohmaier--- Thanks so much for all that you have done to preserve not only the Cinerama films but in being an advocate for film preservation over the years. I was recently reading Ron Haver's book about A STAR IS BORN and was pleased and surprised to find your name mentioned as having a...

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Barry Lyndon -- in Blu-ray

    Given that most of Kubrick's films have now been released on 4K disc, is BARRY LYNDON on 4K a possibility? Even if the film itself, given the way it was shot, is not fully 4K, certainly HDR or Dolby Vision carefully applied would be an upgrade. Thoughts? Rumors?

    Pre-Order South Pacific (1958) 65th Anniversary Edition (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    One of the tragedies of her career was not getting to play Nellie in SOUTH PACIFIC. Gaynor is OK, but I think Day would have given the role more depth.

    The Beatles "Now And Then" Single released November 2nd. Remixed 'Red' and 'Blue' Albums due out November 10.

    Meh to the tenth power. As a 70 year old boomer of course I loved the Beatles. But the endless repackaging and reselling of the group gets more and more ridiculous every year. From the Anthology cds several years ago to the endless Peter Jackson version of LET IT BE and now this they have...

    Rather more important to me at least---how does the disc look and sound?

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

    On Blu Ray.com they mention that the 4K MWKTM disc will have 3.0 audio option. Is this Perspecta Sound or what? Or is this just incorrect?

    3D Meet Bob Furmanek: HTF Golden Age 3-D Consultant

    Mr. Furmanek---just sampled the new ROBOT MONSTER disc and was very impressed. When I still had a plasma tv I was able to view 3-D movies with active shutter glasses and the results were spectacular. I enjoyed the discs you created with archival footage as well as things like KISS ME KATE and...
