I have a lot of DVDs and Blu-rays from a variety of regions. I need a player that can play them all. There are 4K players which have been modded to play all regions, I’ve seen them on eBay.

I’m not against doing it, but then I need a 4K QD OLED set (That’s the kind I want), a region-free 4K player, and for once in my life, I’d like to have a surround sound system. That’s a lot pieces and money. Plus I’m into retro gaming, so I’d probably need some sort of RCA-HDMI adaptor :p.

So Cameron just broke the Internet? Now if only we could get T1 with the mono track and T2 without DNR… God, I need to go 4K soon!

I’m not watching this just because of my crush in Sydney Sweeney. I have much more sophisticated reasons. Like….like….give me a minute.

Wonder how long it’ll be before they lock me out of the relative’s account I’m using?

Is this one still legally tangled? The rest of the Ranown films have gotten HD releases.

Tales of Terror from the Corman-Poe cycle.

Putting aside my feelings about Netflix’s new “one user” policy, which would bother me a lot less if they weren’t charging the exact same amount of money, I recently went on the Criterion Channel to find a cropped movie! Criterion! I e-mailed them and they said “That’s the master MGM gave us.”...

Where is Dragonslayer, Paramount?! And don’t tell me there’s no HD master, because I’ve seen it on Vudu.

This ran on TCM last week, and unfortunately, it’s definitely not an HD master. It really looked rough.

What a blanking tragedy. There goes all of that great original content like the Criterion extras in it too. Just ok small a service for big old AT&T. Hope this doesn’t mean that TCM will need commercials to survive.

Figures. I finally go HD, and now the only decent release is in UHD :(. Ah, well, I am glad that Fox FINALLY went out of their way too fix the unqualified mess of the previous version, anyway. I’ll hang onto my old first edition BD in the meantime (low bitrate, but doesn’t look TOO bad), and the...

Now there's something you don't see every day!

This doesn’t look great, and the reviews are middling, but I can’t pretend that “Jason Statham vs. a giant freaking shark” isn’t the great elavator pitch I’ve ever heard.

Damn limited editions. I only get paid once a week :p.

I was a toku FREAK in my youth. Some of the Big G films are better than others, but there are definitely high points if you like this sort of stuff. This trailer is kind of the fulfillment of my childhood dreams in that regard. The dialogue is atrocious though. Still, seeing Toho’s classic...

I quite enjoyed the first film. Rowling was definitely a first-time screenwriter, and it had some flaws, but I had fun with it. As an HP fan, the prequel aspect is immensely fun fan service.

One can only hope this will get us T1 with the mono and T2 sans DNR, but I’m not holding my breath on either.

IMDB lists Kevin J. Anderson as a “creative consultant.” This does not encourage me. Otherwise, this is long overdue for a big, Peter Jackson-style adaption again, some right this time.

This wasn’t too bad. It mostly costs on Johnson’s charisma, and Die Hard it certainly is not; it lack the memorable villains and set pieces, and the Hong Kong setting uneasily calls to mind the countless action classics for there (almost none of which have gotten proper home video releases, but...

I’d like to imagine that this moves our chances of getting the original trilogy remastered from 0% to 0.001%, but I’m not holding my breath on that any more than I am finally seeing The Abyss or True Lies finally come out.

I had quite a bit of fun with this. It’s not top-tier Spielberg, but he’s clearly enjoying the hell out of himself and inviting you to as well. It has little of the gloriously analog white-knuckle thrills of say Raiders or the intelligence of Minority Report, but it’s lots of fun. My tolerance...

I’ve always been morbidly curious about this film, but I’m not sure I have the stomach for it, and there really isn’t any place to rent it anyway. Which version should I watch if I ever do?

Their stock is apparently a little low, so they haven’t shipped it yet; I got on the e-mail with the guy and he said they should have it soon.

I throughly enjoyed this. Like pretty much all blockbusters these days, it’s a little too long (Why must everything be two-and-a-half hours now?), but McQuarrie shoots everything cleanly, uses no shaky cam, and the set pieces are all a blast. Say what you will about Cruise, there’s no doubt that...

What a damn disappointment. Cameron is reaching Lucas levels of revisionism. The sad thing is, this is probably the best we’ll get for the foreseeable future. And don’t even get me started on T1 not having the mono.

Finally got my order to process! Luckily, one of the higher-ups at the website spoke English and helped me out. Now it's just going to be a good few weeks before it even gets here.

I have the 1994 Japanese thriller Angel Dust on VHS. To my knowledge, it’s never even an SD DVD release with English subtitles.

HD streaming on Vudu looks better than I'd ever have imagined streaming could look, and it does beat an SD disc, but there's no excuse for it not being on Blu. I wish they'd at least license it to Twilight Time or something.

I don’t think Amazon does; it’s the Scandinavian release with the lossless audio. I’m trying to order through the links provided, but having trouble navigating the site.
