i recently watched a documentary series from the UK on JACK THE RIPPER. Nobody knows who Jack the RIpper was as it was all guess work. Unfortunately all the suspects were men. Never was a female suspected as the killer in any stories about who the Ripper might be. A female...

My least liked news on t.v. is the nightly ABC news with David Muir in NYC. I have no problem with David as a reader but my complaint is that after having an ad break, David returns with a brief news item for about10 seconds and then there are more commercials. When returning...

Sylvia Syms -The famous British female actor has passed away aged 89..

Why don't cinemas install jamming devices in their auditoriums? This will stop those ignorant morons from annoying other patrons by using their mobiles during the movies. With cinema - going audiences getting smaller each year, jamming devices will restore people's faith in returning...

Here is a complete list of films that I have seen in 70mm.This list does not include numerous 70mm shorts that I have seen.Neither does it include Imax 70mm films. It also includes blow- ups as well as those filmed in 70mm. RIGHT STUFF REMAINS OF THE DAY GREYSTOKES - THE LEGEND OF...

Next year will be the 60th anniversary of this Polish epic.This 3 hour film was later reduced to 2 /2 hours .I saw it when it was originally released. Watched it again yesterday on dvd and the film was still the masterpiece that I remembered it to be. A cast of thousands,no...

It can be very frustrating when Warner's and other companies will not post dvds and other items overseas. Now AUSTRALIA POST has come up with a brilliant idea where they will give you a U.S.A. postal address . You can then have your items ( regardless of what they are) sent to...

Saw WEST SIDE STORY on local television last week in Sydney and it was the same version that Fox put out on Bluray with the offensive language inserted into the early scene with the cops. All my friends watched it and heard the same dialogue. It was never in the original film. Had...

Why do television channels have to always have canned laughter in their comedy shows. When they emerge on dvd we still have to endure this appalling and stupid procedure. Nothing irritates me more than having to listen to canned laughter .I now find myself avoiding any show that has it.

THE LUNCHBOX is a great movie but don't watch the dvd from India. I recently imported a copy from India and was stunned to see that whenever an actor smokes , the words 'smoking kills ' are shown on the screen. How stupid is this?

If 20th Century Fox manage to become the new owners of Warner Bros then perhaps we may finally get to see all those Warner's owned titles that we are desperate to see released - incl THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF THE BROTHER'S GRIMM Rupert Murdock has made an offer to take over Time-...

Decent magazines about cinema and dvd are hard to find. My favourite magazines about cinema are the following: SIGHT AND SOUND (U.K.) Truly the most brilliant magazine about cinema that has dozens of the most comprehensive reviews of new films ,brilliant articles and all...

I have seen WEST SIDE STORY numerous times over the past 50 years,in 70mm,on stage and on dvd. Recently I rewatched the 50th anniversary bluray disc and was surprised at some of the words used by one of the characters. In the opening scene when the Police arrive to stop the...

Last night I saw THE AMAZING SPIDERMAN 2 on our local Imax screen. Although it was shown on the world's largest cinema screen, the picture only covered 2/3 of the full size screen . Had it been projected on 70mm film the quality would have been fantastic and it would have covered...

With SEVEN WONDERS OF THE WORLD due out on Bluray later in the year,it would be great if some of the unused footage could be included as an extra.It was originally to have been the second film in Cinerama and several scenes were already filmed before it was abandoned and CINERAMA...

Why is it that so many stage musical actors wear facial microphones today? This is an abomination that never used to happen. There is NOTHING worse than seeing a musical where the entire cast wear microphones on one side of their faces. This is a great distraction that is not...

In the USA there are many Broadway shows that are televised towards the end of their run but if you live overseas then the only way that you can see these great shows is by buying an illegal dvd from the pirates who sell them in both the USA and UK..Why don't the copyright owners of...

Flying Clipper was Germany's answer to windjammer,but much less successful at the box office. It was also released in 70mm Cinerama in most countries.The film was very enjoyable and the music was memorable. A new print of the 70mm film has had limited screenings in Europe...

I saw 174 feature films in 70mm (excluding Imax). plus numerous 70mm shorts. Can anyone beat this record?

After seeing the magnificent job done in converting THE WIZARD OF OZ into 3D,I would love to see 2001 A SPACE ODYSSEY in the same format. That would be mind ..blowing

Isn't it about time that that The Student Prince was released on dvd and bluray? The last release was in the days of VHS. Also SEVEN BRIDES FOR SEVEN BROTHERS would be very welcome on bluray.It is truly one of the most memorable musicals ever. What also happened to the Rogers and...
