The new Cohen Blu-ray of the WWII era film COME WHAT MAY unfortunately only has English subtitles for the hearing impaired. Sound effects and off-screen noises are noted. I think the subtitle "horse whinnying" appears about a dozen times. The film is primarily in French and German (with some...

Just rewired with all new HDMI cables into a new Pioneer receiver. All has worked great for a week. Worked fine earlier today. Now, nothing. I am not getting any picture, nothing, when I try to watch Blu-ray's. Nothing comes up. Just get a blue screen. "HDMI" is flashing on the front...

I know HOUSE OF WAX has been discussed previously, but having only had 3-D capabilities on my Epson 5020UB projector for a short time, I'm having issues with lots of crosstalk with this and a few other titles. Making adjustments to the "3D Depth" field, I can eliminate ghosting in either...

I noticed last night over at Vudu that the price of the majority of their 1080p HDX Warner Bros classic titles are on sale. They now range in price from $7.88-$9.99 each to purchase. Usually they are $17.99, so this is quite a savings. Warner Bros, MGM and RKO titles are a part of the sale...

Rumor has it that Kino will be releasing the excellent (and rare!) Film Noir TIMETABLE starring Mark Stevens later this year on DVD. I'll definitely be buying it!

Use code TAXDAYSALE at checkout. Works with both in stock and pre-order items. Was able to pickup the new Criterion Blu-rays of THE FRESHMAN and RIOT IN CELL BLOCK 11 for under $20 each, among others.

I recently noticed that titles are disappearing off of the Warner Archive Instant streaming site. Titles like WILD BOYS OF THE ROAD, FOOTLIGHT PARADE, THE MASK OF FU MANCHU, MARK OF THE VAMPIRE and some others are gone. Yes, DVD's exist for these films and I have them all, but it was nice to...

I've been having an issue in the past few days with Netflix. I've been watching the recent season of DEXTER in "SuperHD" but the picture quality has been all over the map. Unlike Amazon and VUDU which stream in full HD when you launch a title, Netflix takes some time to "warm up." At least...

Just received the new noir set from TCM and unfortunately all of the pressed discs in the set, SO DARK THE NIGHT, JOHNNY O'CLOCK, WALK A CROOKED MILE, BETWEEN MIDNIGHT AND DAWN and WALK EAST ON BEACON suffer from an extreme case of jaggies and motion judder. These defects have been present in...

I bought a new Panasonic AE8000 projector, after owning the AE4000 for the past three years. Great picture quality boost with the 8000, though I noticed some distracting motion artifacts on horizontal pans and movement. Not all of the time, but it's definitely there on some shots. The...

Has anyone seen the new Image release of season one of COMBAT and if so, how's the quality? Any better than the previous releases?

It would be wonderful if the above studios would license some of their catalog titles to companies like Olive Films or Twilight Time. Where Warner Bros is concerned, just look at all of those WB, MGM and RKO titles that will likely never see a Blu-ray release. It's taken this long just to get...

It seems that the studios are providing 1.78 pan and scan masters with more regularity to streaming sites like Vudu and Netflix. Vudu will let you watch the first 2 minutes for free and I've noticed there are many classic CinemaScope titles like LES GIRLS and AUNTIE MAME that start in 2.35 (or...

The audio quality of the new BIRD OF PARADISE blu-ray is really disappointing. Almost sounds as if someone was playing back an optical soundtrack negative on equipment that was calibrated for positive. It's full of distortion and it sounds like someone went overboard with digital "fixes." I...

Does anyone here know why Netflix is having issues with the picture quality of some of their films. Recent HD releases, including CAPTAIN KRONOS VAMPIRE HUNTER, DAYS OF HEAVEN, THE NEXT THREE DAYS and THE LINCOLN LAWYER all have motion artifacts whenever there's movement or if there's a camera...
