You may want to check the spelling (or rather word usage) of calvary... I'm pretty sure you mean cavalry.

Mr. Harris, can you elaborate on what was missing? Did Sony already provide disc replacement details? Thanks in advance

Skyfall ranks as one of the top 5, if not 3, Bonds, IMO. That and it landed on a number of year end Top Ten lists and box office aside, proves that the franchise has a lasting appeal. I hope Mendes picks up directing duties for the next film(s), and brings his cinematographer along. He brought a...

Hey all, Just got back from Afghanistan :) What all have I missed in the last none months, lol?

I remember how excited I was to receive the old 2-disc edition with the cloth cover way back when. As it so happens, there is a copy of the same title in our command post here in Afghanistan. Not sure where it came from or who brought it, but its found an audience here. We'll be leaving it...

This will be a Christmas present for me, but a late one as i get back form Afghanistan a few weeks later...but it will be waiting for me when I get there, along with the 4-disc BD of Prometheus and Dark Knight Rises :)

To take a cue from Steen, I agree with the 'non-sensical'. In hte first Alien (and Aliens to some extent) characters at least behaved in a natural, expected manner. The first Alien, while not entirely groundbreaking in its 'Alien stowaway' ("It! the Terror from Beyond Space" is one such...

Had a chance to catch most of this in our small makeshift movie theater here in Afghanistan. I left the movie feeling feeling much like I did with Scott's Kongdom of Heaven...that a better film existed elsewhere. While the DC of KoH was still imperfect, it was a vast improvement over the...

Just happened to drop in on the forum and saw this post (i'm in my office on a base in Kandahar, Afghanistan). Also, i'm currently watching it on blu-ray on my laptop hooked up via HDMI to a 720P LG LCD (the best I can do lol). This improves upnon repeat viewing. When I was home i spun it on my...

Well bad by 1980 standards doesnt mean bad today. Of course, if the film doesnt change in its content from 30 years ago then the best hope it has is to find a new audience in the best format possible. I'm not sure if this is Cimino's original 219 minute version or something that he has gone...

Just recently announced by Criterion. This will be the full, 216 minute Director's Cut. Personally, this is an ambitious and bold move by Criterion, and quite fitting that they would choose this long rumored title for their treatment. I have never seen the full film in any form before, so this...

I wonder if a Criterion treatment is warranted...I'm surprised they didnt do Last Tango in Paris. I was less impressed with how they handled The Last Emperor, hopefully somewhere down the road they might pick it up

Hey all, I've been very behind in recent months in keeping up with posts, just been very busy on this end. I'm heading off to Afghanistan on my third deployment. Should be a quick 9 or so months, looking forward to coming back and catching up on all things HT in the world. Everyone enjoy your...

Wow, I once thought it was dangerous flying 100 feet over Baghdad a few years ago...and then I dropped in here and this is where the real fireworks are at :)

Pick up the Canadian version of Dusk Til Dawn on BD...original aspect ratio (quality is better than i expected), sound in DTS-HD 5.1 (the back incorrectly states just DTS 5.1). No extras, but A/V quality are what you would expect given the age and quality of the source material.
