    Thanks for the review- will be picking this up eventually then since it sounds like a significant improvement over the already nice bluray.... such a great time to be collecting movies- we are really spoiled.

    Thank you. I would be very interested to hear your thoughts as your 'few words' are always a big factor in me deciding to buy a title or not... ...and also a reason why CC Vol.4 is still in my thoughts- even though I had originally ruled out a purchase.

    UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - Columbia Classics Volume 4 -- in 4k UHD

    I agree with what you say about standard bluray quality- recent ones I have watched on my 75" display that blew me away with their great video quality are 'The Master', 'The Hateful Eight' and 'Sound Of Freedom'. I am a huge Steven Soderbergh fan and love his film 'Contagion' but I have a...

    Regarding the Italian Eagle release, members on another site say early copies from Amz Italy were missing the lossless audio and that there were also some sync issues early on in the film. Eagle re-issued the disc (V.2) with the sync issue fixed and lossless audio included. (reports say other...

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Blade Runner -- in 4k UHD Blu-ray

    When talking about discs freezing/skipping/stopping etc during playback, it may be worth mentioning the exact model 4k disc player you are using as the player itself is often the problem, not the disc.

    Blu-ray Review International A Few Words About A few words about…™ Sabotage – in Blu-ray

    Sadly I think I read elsewhere that Network are going out of business so grab this now while you can. In addition to so many other great titles, they also released the definitive restored bluray boxset of the classic WWII documentary 'The World At War' narrated by Laurence Olivier. And it is...

    They may have decided to use Guy Richie's name in title so as not confuse the film with another film with same title...'The Covenant' from 2006.

    Network Goes into Liquidation

    The Network bluray release of the classic WWII documentary The World At War narrated by Lawrence Olivier is fantastic...and the only release anywhere in the original aspect ratio. (Not sure if region B UK locked or region free- can check if anyone interested)

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ The Titfield Thunderbolt - in Blu-ray

    Sounds like it could be a player issue? I have owned numerous Region 'A' and Region 'B' bluray disc players over the years and would highly recommend next time, in your case, to buy a dedicated Region 'B' disc player and simply use a 'step up' transformer to deal with the different voltage...

    Atmos audio has been been given a boost according to some... Some quotes... "This is the first Sony Atmos track I've seen where they used the full 16-channel object cluster stream container for TrueHD" "Not much of a bump in video bitrate like Air Force One (55841 kbps on the old release) but...

    Is it do or die for 4k UHD in 2023?

    'Alien' looks fantastic on 4K congrats (just hope you won't be showing the grandkids that one tho :lol:) Best way to support the format is to actually buy some discs so well done on your collection so far :thumbsup::thumbsup:

    Is it do or die for 4k UHD in 2023?

    Disc sales are actually increasing worldwide. In the UK alone for example, in 2021, home entertainment revenue was up 13% to US$5 Billion...with more than 21 million discs sold....and the home entertainment market there is set to top $6 Billion in revenue by 2025. You'll be glad to hear out...

    Is it do or die for 4k UHD in 2023?

    Maybe on release day...there are always dozens of sales at HMV, Zavvi and Amazon UK all the time. If you wait a short while those new releases drop in price very quickly.
