    UHD Review Everything Everywhere All At Once – UHD Review

    Whenever Shakespeare in Love is brought up, the inevitable complaint is, But Saving Private Ryan should have won that year. No. The Thin Red Line should have won that year.

    Pre-Order A Christmas Story (1983) (4k UHD) Available for Preorder

    Even though I have never (yet) set foot in America, this is one of my favourite seasonal films. Melinda Dillon has rarely received her due as an actress - she's a natural in front of the camera - and she is great here. Darren McGavin gives a fantastic comic performance as well (his interactions...

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

    I liked this show a lot when I saw it some months ago. As Robert says, great performances from a well-cast, er, cast...; I was really impressed by Juliette Lewis as Natalie the "Elder" (saw her and her band The Licks way back in 2006 here in Limerick...good times). Really hope it gets a second...

    UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - Heat -- in 4k UHD

    Which one? I reckon you are referring to "God Moving Over the Face of the Waters", which is used brilliantly for the finale of the film - but Moby's "New Dawn Fades" is also used: it is a version of a Joy Division song, and it is the music used when Hanna is tailing McCauley prior to their...

    INT: COFFEE SHOP “CINEFILE”: Ah…thanks for agreeing to have a cup of coffee with me, Mr. Mann. MANN: It’s fine… “CINEFILE”: Seven years since Blackhat, Public Enemies in 2009, Miami Vice before that…The Miami Vice shoot as tough as they say? MANN: You lookin’ to become a film critic...

    Breaking Bad - Season 5 (AMC)

    So, you would find Jane's dad, coming right out of the blue with a "Gotcha!"-style revenge killing of Walt, as a dramatically satisfying way of wrapping up this incredible modern tragedy? For me, the ending must revolve around the Walt-Jesse relationship.

    Breaking Bad - Season 5 (AMC)

    It seems unlikely that Jane's father will somehow learn about Walt's involvement in her death. How would he meet Jesse (assuming he is, in fact, still alive - Jane's dad that is)? Jesse will want to handle that situation himself probably. I figure the SD card(s) for Hank's camcorder could be a...

    Breaking Bad - Season 5 (AMC)

    With the Nazis now knowing about Jesse's connection to Andrea and Brock, I think they might be the ones who are actually kidnapped to force a cook (from Jesse, or Jesse and Walt). Walt might feel that saving this particular family might make up for losing his own and serve as atonement for...

    Breaking Bad - Season 5 (AMC)

    I don't think Walt is sending the Todd gang after Jesse. Right after that phone call from Jesse - "I'm gonna get you where you live" - Walt looks momentarily baffled before getting that look on his face... He has worked out (as only he can) that Hank has got to Jesse.

    Breaking Bad - Season 5 (AMC)

    By that logic why would all powerful Gus need to steal it? He had all the resources he had, he doesn't need someone else's poison. He gets his own. I guess the logic that Jesse won' t realise this. Walt has underestimated Jesse from day one. Jesse has shown evidence of extreme cleverness...

    Breaking Bad - Season 5 (AMC)

    Try this: At least two times in the show so far Jesse has shown he is capable of, shall we say, "lateral" thinking. He has come up with brilliant ideas even when Walt was floundering. One was the magnet - I cannot recall the other one right now. Could this be laying the groundwork for Jesse to...

    Breaking Bad - Season 5 (AMC)

    Has anyone thought the hair and beard in the first ep of Season 5 is a disguise? It looks like a disguise to me. Don't know how it might factor in though.

    Breaking Bad - Season 5 (AMC)

    Can't wait to see how this pans out. Some scenes that have been playing in my head when I try to predict what'a a-comin': Jesse and Todd have a confrontation. Jesse will intend to kill Todd, but will not be able to bring himself to do it. Todd will shoot Jesse, injuring him very badly. Whatever...

    Blu-ray Review Jaws Blu-ray Review - Very Highly Recommended

    "And the kind of look I get when I say "Don't be ridic!" -- like Jane Wyman in The Lost Weekend." Not Jane Wyman. It was the woman in the bar he frequents who says "Don't be ridic". I use it myself.

    Blu-ray Review HTF BLU-RAY REVIEW: Close Encounters of the Third Kind (Highly Recommended)

    Oh man. Bob Balaban's "Close Encounters" diary was the first book on cinema I ever read. Magic stuff. Still the fondest filmgoing memory I have is the day I saw "Close Encounters" on the big screen. It put my dreams up on the screen. The blu-ray is still my most prized (and, more importantly, my...

    3D Prometheus (3D Blu-ray Combo) (Blu-ray Combo) available for preorder on Amazon with FREE Movie Ticke

    It has the most visually pleasing use of 3D I've seen so far. Loved the film too (and I am a major fan of the Alien franchise). I hope Scott continues with the story - it's an intriguing one.

    Prometheus (2012)

    After the first Alien, Prometheus is the most "poetic" in the series. Yes, it could have been better, but there are many great things in the film. Bring on another installment in this series and I might forget that I live in a world where intelligent sf is laughed at.

    Warner to release Ben-Hur on Blu-ray in 2009 (?), or.....

    Someone reviewing "North by Northwest" talked about Hitch's "audible chuckle" as the train goes into the tunnel at the end and the credits come up... I can hear you Robert.

    "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" coming from MGM/UA to Blu-ray

    That would be a displeasing fade out, to be sure. I once said - on another forum - that I wasn't going to post anymore just to gauge the reaction and "count the love in the room". Eric's posts have made it quite obvious that he loves cinema - and that's enough. He was some kind of man...

    Alien Anthology Blu Ray 2010 Update : Ripley to record audio commentaries for all 4 films

    I'd love to hear her thoughts too. People living in the UK might remember Dennis Pennis... Well, Ms Weaver was the only celebrity - the only one! - I saw on that show who was a match for Dennis's sarcastic jibes (he dresses like a clown, talks like Woody Allen on speed, and pretends to be from...

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Alien Anthology -- in Blu-ray

    I watched "Alien" last night. I'm no expert, but the transfer was top class, particularly the audio - really immersive. The colour is a lot better than the dvds, and there is definitely an improvement in PQ in terms of detail (you can see this even in the computer readout shots; also, I...

    I dunno. "Unforgiven" (1992) is a totally different film from "The Unforgiven" (1960).
