    UHD Review The Exorcist UHD Review

    Warner Bros has been replacing logos for home video releases since the 1980s. This is nothing new from them.

    Pre-Order The Alfred Hitchcock Classics Collection: Rope / The Man Who Knew Too Much / Torn Curtain / Topaz / Frenzy (4k UHD) Available for Preorder

    Now that all of the major Universal owned titles have been remastered for UHD can we hope for upgraded Blu-Ray releases for those of us who passed on the current Blus and never intend to upgrade to 4K? It sure would be nice since they are dumping current stock into these releases.

    A Few Words About A few words about…™ Spartacus - in 4k UHD Blu-ray

    All good scores, indeed. However all of them but Psycho were pretty traditional. Psycho was a groundbreaking sound the likes of which hadn't really been heard before, and it was also extremely effective. It should have been Psycho.

    Every one of the WB discs I have that "rotted" are pressed. Not a single MOD disc from them in my collection has failed.

    It's probably the scan made for the LaserDisc.

    Movies shot without sound (dialog dubbed)

    It's called looping and the number of films that have dialogue recorded live on set is minimal.

    Blu-ray Review Song of Norway Blu-ray Review

    Well, of course NORWAY got a 60 week run. 70mm was a dead horse by then and there was nothing to replace it with. Lol

    Notorious (1946) and Spellbound??

    Sounds like the all too common layer change failure.

    Press Release Warner Archive Collection Announcement: Land of the Pharaohs (1955) (Blu-ray)

    I would hope the BluRay doesn't look like the TCM cap which is vertically squeezed, and whose color reminds me of that terrible DVD of The Opposite Sex from WAC in which everything black was midnight blue.

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ On Her Majesty's Secret Service -- in Blu-ray

    I'm aware of your pointing that out as well. It just seems more likely to me that people are remembering it from the mass marketed home video releases than a review from 1964. Here it is on the VHS from 1984.

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ On Her Majesty's Secret Service -- in Blu-ray

    This 1982 Laserdisc was time compressed and ran 108m. Perhaps this early home video master is what muddied the memory waters.

    UHD Review International A Few Words About A few words about...™ - Picnic at Hanging Rock -- in 4k UHD

    Thank you for posting this excellent and informative video. It was especially nice to hear, however briefly, the modern teal and orange grading fad addressed.

    UHD Review International A Few Words About A few words about...™ - Picnic at Hanging Rock -- in 4k UHD

    "Director approved' and "Cinematographer approved" transfer is called puff marketing and collectors eat it up and then use it to argue for decades.

    HD DVD's Any help please!

    My Toshiba purchased in 2006 still works just fine, but my HDDVDs were all dead within 5 years with IMAX The Dream is Alive being the sole exception.

    I don't need a whole box. I would be quite pleased with a double feature BluRay release of All the Fine Young Cannibals and The Subterraneans.

    Pre-Order The Long, Long Trailer (1954) (Warner Archive Collection) Available for Preorder

    Good news! This hasn't had a fresh scan since the 80s. Here's hoping the aspect ratio is correct.

    NEPTUNE'S DAUGHTER would be a welcome release, as my DVD is one that failed and it is the only place one can find the Betty Garrett outtake titled, ironically, "I Want My Money Back."

    King Kong (1976) 4KUHD (Studio Canal)

    I think the simple fact that computer generated teal processing didn't exist in 1976 is enough to answer your question.

    OSCAR BEST PICTURE WINNERS NOT YET ON BLU RAY

    I'm aware. Of course; you know I meant dialogue scenes and such from the actual 30fps version.
