    Blu-ray Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - The Shootist -- in Blu-ray

    Absolutely wonderful film, which never fails to get me emotionally. John Wayne’s final film could not have been more appropriate. As for Clay O’Brien…while he was cute in The Cowboys, and definitely stole a few scenes, he was not an actor by trade. And unfortunately that come to light in...

    The Brady Bunch 50th Anniversary. Might we finally see a Brady Blu-ray

    Yes, very obvious where the syndication cuts occur on the DVDs, and the 16mm prints were inserted back in…quite jarring, tbh

    I haven’t been this excited for a KL release since Jet Pilot! Here’s hoping they have a BD included with the 4K disc

    Pre-Order Star Trek III: Search for Spock (1984) 40th Anniversary (4k UHD Steelbook) Available for Preorder

    I understand your point about V. When I first saw it in the theaters, I was amazed at how bad it was. But then I got it on LD not long afterwards, and between the surround sound (which the previous movies lacked), and a newfound respect for some of the deeper scenes (revisiting pain from the...

    Pre-Order Star Trek III: Search for Spock (1984) 40th Anniversary (4k UHD Steelbook) Available for Preorder

    Worst movie of the original 6. The new Savak was horrible, the ending was incredibly boring and drawn out, and Nimoy’s direction was not up to professional levels yet. Many will say 5 was the worst, but at least that had more action from start to finish than 3

    SIRIUSXM: Still Lazy After All These Years

    I can’t wait to turn on Classic Rewind in my car today, and hear The Cars “Let’s Go” for the 8th millionth in the past week * (sarcasm off now) *

    Same here. Since Spectrum offers it free, I downloaded the app. But I’d never buy it

    I guess to follow up with your comment…without High Noon, you’d never have Rio Bravo to enjoy

    Meg Griffin and Rachel Steel really annoy me

    SIRIUSXM: Still Lazy After All These Years

    Well stated. The only other thing I could add to your post would be for SirusXM to ditch their DJs. Not only do they interrupt the listening experience, many times they will give you their unsolicited views on world events and politics. And even if you agree with them, no one signs up to...

    Pre-Order Paint Your Wagon (1969) (4k UHD) (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    I saw that particular show, and own the cast album. Absolutely wonderful! Watching the film, you’d have a hard time imagining it was derived from that fabulous 1940’s stage production.

    Naked City: No Longer at Image Entertainment?

    I think my favorite episode (although most were top-notch), is “Today the man who kills ants is coming”. Powerful study of the strain and emotional stress being a patrol officer could cause

    SIRIUSXM: Still Lazy After All These Years

    When SiriusXM removed Deep Tracks, I was seriously considering canceling, as my radio doesn’t pick up channel 330 (or wherever they moved it to). But in trying to find a replacement station, I stumbled upon the Chill station. Have definitely enjoyed listening to it since December, but as with...

    UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956) -- in 4k UHD

    I picked up Vertigo on BD a few years back, and after watching it, was very disappointed in wasting 2 hours of my time on such an awful film. After reading so many positive comments about film, I felt maybe I missed something the first time. I dusted it off once again this past Fall and gave...

    Pre-Order The Tin Star (1957) (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    So true! The only reason I still pay for cable is to have access to the WatchTCM app. Really wish I could just purchase it without having to pay for cable

    Blu-ray Review A Few Words About While we wait for A few words about…™ The Johnstown Flood - in Blu-ray

    Nothing really that hasn’t been discussed in this thread. The one thing I found interesting was the special effects team that created the flood scenes, would work on Hells Angels four years later.

    I just watched the 1930 film “Hell’s Heroes”. While definitely not as good as John Ford’s 1948 version, it was still excellent.

    From what I’ve read, Frankie recorded that, without realizing the film was going to be a spoof of westerns.

    Since this doesn’t appear to be on the WAC release schedule this year, just a heads up that it’s currently on the TCM app thru Christmas. Print looks pretty nice too.

    Fugitive comes to DVD in a 33 disc set on Nov. 1st 2011

    I agree about season 4 not being as strong as the first three. There were only so many predicaments that Richard could be placed in, and as you say, by season 4 the plots were not as captivating. Also, I think the introduction of color film in season 4 took some of the tension out of the show.
