    Turning The Spotlight On...The Intouchables (Blu-ray)

    I had the good fortune to see this movie last year. And I loved it. It's a feel good movie that manages to touch us emotionally as well as intellectually. It deserves a much wider audience than it has enjoyed to date, and I would like to add my voice in encouraging everyone to give it a chance...

    1960s: What Titles Did You Vote For?

    I agree with you, Doug. I think that Can Can would be an obvious choice. It may never be rated among the first tier musicals of yesteryear but it deserves to be properly restored, released on Blu, and to take it's place in the list of major musical productions. To be able to enjoy the Soundtrack...

    Warner Archive Discussion Thread (The Announcements/The Films)

    Ah, yes. The Bramble Bush. He was so very, very wise, He thought that faith began And ended with a spoken word. He trusted every man. And like the man of Our Town Who was so wondrous wise, He jumped into a bramble bush And scratched out both his eyes. But when he found his eyes were out, Unlike...

    The Hanging Tree

    The Hanging Tree is finally coming to DVD on July 17th. It is being released on Warner Archive. This is surprising given it's considered a major Western, stars Gary Cooper, and has been highly desired since the introduction of DVDs. Just saying. Nonetheless, I am a happy camper. It's been a...

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ West Side Story -- in Blu-ray

    It's incumbent on any Studio to provide the best possible audio and picture quality of their major titles when they release them on Blu-ray. They must be prepared to release a product that lives up to the promise of the Blu-ray format. Within minutes of reading of the problems with this...

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Gladiator (redux) -- in Blu-ray

    Gladiator is on sale at local Costco stores here in Canada. Unfortunately, their stock does not include the yellow UPC Code, though it does have the words "two disc set" on the back of the packaging. I would dearly love to buy this disc but unfortunately I have no confidence in the product...

    Ulzana's Raid on DVD

    I feel I must add my two cents worth in support of Ulzana's Raid. This is a superior Western, which if it not make my list of ten best westerns of all time, it would certainly be on my top twenty. It contains an excellent performance by Burt Lancaster and deserves to be in every Western film...

    A few thoughts about...THE WARNER CHAT [Everyone on this forum should read this!]

    Thanks, Ron. That needed to be said. We are very fortunate to be able to have a two way dialogue with Warner Bros and to be able to influence even in a small way their release choices. I think we just have to let them know how grateful most of us are that they take the time to "chat"...

    *** Official 2009 Warner Chat and Discussion Thread

    I was very disappointed by the Warner Chat this year and imho the fault lies with us, not with Warner Bros. Warners was prepared and in their opening statements addressed and defused concerns about the worldwide availability and the quality of their Archive products. Little else of...

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ The French Connection -- in Blu-ray

    The BluRay version of this film has been reviewed by Clydefro at DVD Times and is well worth reading. In his "final thoughts" section of the review, Clydefro Jones has this to say: "The French Connection is perhaps the best film of its kind, but, while keeping things in perspective, it's...
