Undercurrent is currently streaming on The Criterion Channel as part of their "Gothic Noir" bundle of films, but there is no A/V upgrade (TBH, it's a bit of a downgrade) from the mediocre SD DVD presentation.
While it may not have constituted a complete series, Sony did manage to include a complete "mini" series of "From Here to Eternity" on their previous Columbia Classics volume.
Android TV Vudu app on my Sony TV has the SE in HDR10 and 5.1. Theatrical cut plays in Dolby Vision and Atmos.
Still no HDR of any kind for the SE via the Movies Anywhere app.
And of course, "because Google", the Play Store, YouTube, etc. don't even recognize that the film is in my Movies...
Thought it was pretty mediocre overall. The most interesting character is an android voiced by Anthony Hopkins who the plot abandons after the first act. Everything else is kind of paint by numbers with not enough variety in characters other than their appearance.
For the sake of your personal...
I like Frenzy better than any Hitchcock film produced after The Birds and am glad it is well represented on 4k disc. Anyone claiming this is his worst has clearly not seen The Paradine Case. :)
If only the steelbook had been encased in a slipcover, this would have been the release of the century. Fear not collectors, I sense this technological collectability breakthrough is just around the corner.
...pays off hilariously in the end. Won't say which character, but when they say "...I am radiant and vitalized by the blood of the ferocious baboon!", I felt like 1/3 cheering and 2/3 laughing. :lol:
Gemini Man and Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk were both shot in high frame rate 3D. Both had 3D Blu-ray releases. Billy Lynn...had a combo 3D 24 fps Blu-ray/ 4K 60 fps UHD release in the US. Gemini Man had a 4k 60 fps UHD release in the US and a separate 3D 24 fps Blu-ray release in other...
Here is a capture from the previous digital video appearance as a bonus feature on the DVD of Barbara Stanwyck's "My Reputation". Not really adding to the evidence as the source was probably the same 480i master used for the Golden Age of Looney Tunes laserdisc, but as you said, the fact that...
Although for some reason, every Marvel movie from Black Widow through Ant Man & The Wasp: Quantumania has received a 3D Blu-ray release exclusive to Japan (except for the Sony-distributed Spider-Man: No Way Home)
As "Elseworlds" adaptations go I liked this a lot better than the "Gotham By Gaslight" DTV animation. The attempts to shoehorn the "Criminals are a superstitious and cowardly lot" from mainline Batman motivation (at least twice) landed with a thud given everything else they reshuffled about...
For those interested in such things, the included digital copy code only redeems at HD quality. None of the major online digital retailers appear to have the "Long Long Halloween" version in 4k.
Even if they did not make the most of it, the premise of a world where humans and animals have to adapt to a new order where Ollies are roaming free was chilling and thought provoking.
Thank you for this. I was a little worried that we would not get it after the moderators were forced to close the controversial "While we wait for 'A few words about ... ™ Back to the Beach on Blu-ray'" thread a few months ago due to the cineastes all fighting about whether certain sequences...
I think the point was that they could have gotten a better result by actively doing less digital processing, so the only way money figures in is if they think the extra effort will result in more sales and streams.
Mine arrived a few days early, so I will be enjoying it this evening.
Quick question, though. There does not appear to be an included digital copy, so how am I supposed to watch this on my phone?
...and it has certain advantages over the broadcast master recently used by TCM such as the absence of flash frames. (This appeared late in the film in an important flashback scene between Richard Widmark and Anthony Perkins). It was kind of cool that if they had to do it, they at least used...
Received this for Christmas. Previous viewing was via streaming when I was a FilmStruck subscriber ("Gather around children as Grandpa Ken regales you with tales of the mid-late 20-teens!"). This was head and shoulders above that. Bravo, Warner Archive!
