Well, this is my little story on this movie. Back in 1995, when I was a Fire Inspector with the the LAFD, one of my overtime days was being a Uniformed Fire Safety Officer on the 20 year reunion on being filmed in dowtown LA, I'm not sure what old theater was used, could have been the Mayan...
This is the 2nd piece of garage out of TV Land! What ABC against FOX? I guess I feel like doctors when they see a show about them and almost everything is wrong with it.
Lets see, start off the show with commenting you can't/don't like to slide a pole in the engine house, a goatee so you can't...
Another garbage show about the fire service and wholly about the LAFD. The worst movie that did a lot of damage to the fire service was BACKDRAFT. Everything they did in that movie was so totally out in left field, that it took months to live down that bomb!
This new show is written as if they...
Just ordered DVDs of INVASION, THE TERRORNAUTS, TIMESLIP and DEVIL GIRL FROM MARS all from Studio Canal @ Amazon UK. These are Region 2 DVD discs. Luckily I had my Samsung K8500 converted to REGION FREE @ 220 Electronics.
I've only watched INVASION and the print was excellent!!! Upscaled to 4K...
I have an older AV receiver (Onkyo 608) that does 7.2 It has connections for 2 front highs, really making it 9.2. My set-up now is 7.1. and am using my Sammy K8500 (3D/4K) for pass through. My question is, could I connect 2 Atmos in-ceiling speakers to those front highs and will I get 7.2.2...
That's right, the city I live in, Menifee, CA (just north of Temecula) will be getting the largest screen in the USA put in within the next year and it just received city council approval last night. The average IMAX size is 72' wide x 53' high. The largest IMAX screen is 117 'w x 96' h and...
PLEASE CALL EPSON 562-981-3840 and ask for Cortney. Tell him of the problem with the 6040 showing ****ty 3D!!!
They have to be advised of the problem to be able to fix it. As of right now, I am the only person (IN THE ****ING WHOLE WORLD) that they have heard from about the ghosting/crosstalk...
I bought a Epson 5040 and didn't have a ceiling mount. This mount was for sale on eBay last week so I bought it. Things changed and I returned the 5040 and purchased the 6040 instead. Now I have 2 ceiling mounts. I'm using the mount I bought from eBay and am selling the new one (unopened) for...
Finally upgraded and am selling my baby. $500 includes PJ, extra new Epson OEM lamp ($275) cable cover, remote and manual. Lamp is at 1370 hrs. on ECO. PJ works great. You can pick it up or I can mail it to you. I'm in the I.E. in So Cal. Not sure of the shipping charge, but I will split the...
Just bought the "Christopher Lee Collection" from Retromedia. It contains "I, Monster (variation of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde) 3-D and 2-D, Secret of the Red Orchid and Sherlock Holmes and the Deadly Necklace."
The last two are in B&W and are between VHS and DVD quality. This is probably the...
A Columbia Picture pressed DVD released thru Mill Creek in Sept. 2015. Very good B&W print in 1.37:1 open matte for showing at 1.85:1. A few scenes with boom mic shadow high up on the walls and lots of head room.
Great looking picture upscaled, with no EE, good contrast, good blacks and...
Just received my 2 discs, one for each package (4 movies to a disc.) The first is Sci Fi Classics and contains:The Man from Planet X-The picture is darker than the Midnight Movie print, same AR.Beyond the Time Barrier-It's a step up from the Cheezy Flix print and both are 1.37:1.The Time...
Well, I couldn't find this topic anywhere, so here is the info. I went to the first one back in 2003, so the movies I missed but will be seeing are:
The Maze
Phantom of the Rue Morgue
It Came from Outer Space (this I want to see again and again)
The Mad Magician
Here is all the info...
I have The Complete Restored ESSANAY & Mutual Collection by Image. My grandson bought The charlie Chaplin Collection by TGG (never heard of this company) at Ross, Dress for Less. This box set contained 4 discs with 36 shorts and a few longer ones. I compared The Fireman from each, and of...

$74.99 and some are selling for $68.99

Tonite at 1235 PST (35 minutes after midnite), MGM HD cable is playing "It! The Terror from Beyond Space!"
The reason why I'm telling you this, is because last week they showed "The Monster that Challenged the World" in 1.85:1..which was the scope it was filmed in. We only have the crappy...
Just watched "Planet of Vampires" on MGM cable HD! Great to see it as it was meant to be seen, instead of that dreadful non-anamorphic SD.
Also, as an added treat plus many horror films, they showed "The Monster that Challenged the World" in 1.85:1!!! It was much brighter and was so much better...
I remember two episodes from this series and they were both pretty good. One episode was about army toys coming alive on a farm. The second takes place now/then and is about a man buying his son an old WWII radio that he builds. Somehow the son contacts his father's father who's on a boat off...
Tonight was the first time the show was made and shown exclusively in HD and 1.78:1. I switched to my regular digital channel upconverted to 1080i and it looked squeezed in full frame. The show looked great in 1.78:1 and show really sell the show. Maybe they'll go back and reissue all the...
I picked up last month from DeepDiscount for $24 "Hopalong Cassidy-The Complete Television Collection (52 episodes) w/bonus of 10 movies" which has a MSRP of $80. It's now $56 at Deep, $52 at DVDPlanet and $79 at Amazon. Wow, these prints are great looking and a real joy to watch. Too bad...
Just put in the newest anamorphic version of "Phenomena" from the Anchor Bay Collection Tin of 5 Films by Dario Argento. My question is, "What causes parts of the picture to move independently of the static parts?" It makes it look 3-D. Is it poor authoring, using sub-par equipment or...
Just finished watching "Earth vs the Flying Saucer" on BD and noticed they inserted a scene from the original "War of the Worlds!" On the BD at 1:17:35 when one of the saucers blows up a tall building, they used the scene from "WOTW" (1:15:48) when they blow up LA City Hall. In all the...
I hope they take these from the souce and not some 10th generation...and I hope they don't come out like "The Cisco Kid!!!" From DVD Review Celebrating the Western icon’s 75th Anniversary, Genius Products has added a 13-disc DVD Collector’s Edition of The Lone Ranger to their fall...
Just picked this up for about $9 and the money was well spent. The 8 movies on 4 discs from Crown International are: The Madmen of Mandoras (FF) They Saved Hitler's Brain (TV version of the above)(FF) Terrified(FF) Bloodlust(FF) The Creeping terror(FF) Land of the Minotaur(Anamorphic...
Just watched the last disc in the set and it had an Irwin Allen look like it was made for TV pic from 1976 called "Time Travelers" written by Rod Serling. Which, by the way, was pretty good and a unaired pilot from 2002 called "The Time Tunnel." This one should have been picked up, or better...
Just a heads up that all the movies are ported over exactly from the Midnite Movies. That means: Tales of Terror.....Anamorphic Twice Told Tales.....Non-anamorphic Theatre of Blood/Madhouse-Non-anamorphic Dr. Phibes/Roses Again...Both Anamorphic Witchfinder General is Anamorphic...
Just bought this and I wanted to warn you that the prints they used are not much better than VHS quality. I got burned one other time and that was for "War of the Worlds-The TV Series", which was even worse condition. I told myself that I would wait for a review first before I bought another...
