    UHD Review 2001: A Space Odyssey UHD Review

    It was indeed the entire movie. Probably around 10 reels, I don’t remember the exact number. It was in a nice vinyl case with the poster artwork. It was pan & scan, unfortunately. It was the only complete movie I had. I had two-reel, condensed versions of Star Wars and The Empire Strikes...

    UHD Review 2001: A Space Odyssey UHD Review

    I had a Super 8 film edition of 2001 back in 1981. Cost me $300 at the time. It's long gone, but I've had pretty much every other format since then.

    1941 (1979) (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    I was 17 when this came out in 1979, and saw it several times in the theater. I loved it. Over the years, my opinion has slipped. It's now more of a guilty pleasure.

    Amazon Affiliate Links Not Working

    I've had the same issue crop up in the past day or so, and I haven't changed any settings.

    Pre-Order Young Sherlock Holmes (1985) (Blu-ray) (Blu-ray SteelBook) Available for Preorder

    Count me among those that find this disc acceptable. Not great, but not nearly as bad as some have been describing. I'm watching on a 65" Panasonic plasma.

    In case it hasn’t been mentioned, the UK edition of the TMP-DE box is five discs, with the DE and theatrical versions also on Blu-Ray, whereas the US version is UHD only. EDIT: And it’s listed as region-free.

    Press Release PHE Press Release: Star Trek: The Motion Picture Restored Director's Edition and Six-Movie Collection (4k UHD)

    Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but the box set of I-VI is 15 discs. 3 discs for TMP, then 2 discs each for II-VI adds up to 13. What is on the other 2 discs?

    Some Twilight Time Discs No Longer Playing

    I recently took the cellophane off of my TT copy of Zardoz and gave it a spin. It stuttered to a stop about 5 minutes in, then eventually skipped a minute ahead. I tried a careful cleaning of the disc with no change. I'm running a scan on it using the VSO Inspector recommended above by David...

    PHE Press Release: Star Trek: The Motion Picture: Fully Restored Director's Edition (4k UHD) (Paramount+ Streaming)

    I was fortunate enough to see this projected on a big screen at the Star Trek Mission Chicago convention last Friday, with David Fein providing a lengthy introduction and visiting with fans after the showing. Although it wasn't an actual movie theater, they did the everything they could to...

    Press Release Edge of Darkness (Warner Archive Collection) (1943) (Blu-ray)

    Somehow this one slipped by me until now. Ordered! I've never seen it, but I'm looking forward to it. Slightly off-topic, can anyone recommend a good Errol Flynn biography, or comments on My Wicked, Wicked Ways?

    UHD Review A Few Words About While we wait for a few words about...™ West Side Story (2021) -- in 4k UHD

    I've seen it twice, once in IMAX and once in Dolby Cinema. I wanted to see it in the highest quality presentation before it's pushed out of those premium auditoriums later this week. I was only casually familiar with the 1961 original, but I very much enjoyed this new version. Highly...

    UHD Review Halloween (1978) Shout! Factory UHD Review

    Forgive my ignorance, but can someone elaborate on the original color timed version on the second Blu-Ray? Does this match the look of the original theatrical release?

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

    I cannot wait to own this next week! Enjoyed it in the theater (my first post-COVID screening), and I've been listening to the soundtrack almost daily since then. Absolutely love this movie.
