    A Few Words About A few words about…™ The Alfred Hitchcock Classics Collection - in 4k UHD Blu-ray

    Just sampled the Psycho Blu Ray replacement disc. The replacement Blu Ray disc's original mono audio option is different from the one on the faulty Blu Ray disc that was included in the recent boxset: a consistent 384 Kbps on the new replacement disc vs 447 Kbps on the faulty boxset disc. I...

    A Few Words About A few words about…™ The Alfred Hitchcock Classics Collection - in 4k UHD Blu-ray

    I received my replacement discs today via FedEx. I haven't sampled the discs yet but I was very upset to find that both the UHD and Blu Ray discs were simply thrown loose together inside an oversized brown paper envelope with absolutely no protection...both discs are riddled with scratches.

    Press Release HTF EXCLUSIVE! Twilight Time November 2017 Release Announcements

    Fantastic selection of titles for November. Being a Sandra Dee fan, I'm really looking forward to purchasing "Gidget" in all its HD widescreen glory. It's sadly often forgotten how popular Ms. Dee was at the box office back in the late 1950's through the mid 1960's, this in addition to being a...

    Little Women (1994) (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    Curious to know if anyone knows the current status/fate of this Blu Ray? I was thrilled when the announcement/pre-order went up last year but nothing ever materialized. Such a beautiful film that will no doubt look amazing on Blu Ray, given that it's a Sony/Columbia title.

    EXCLUSIVE! Twilight Time July/August 2015 Announcements

    Just received my copy of "The Best of Everything" today and it looks fantastic. Nice fine grain levels and a robust bitrate throughout make for a very filmic viewing experience. My untrained/unqualified eyes are very pleased with what they see and a very special movie is made all the more...

    RAINTREE COUNTY on Blu?

    I'm VERY happy and excited about the prospect of finally being able to own a restored version of this long-neglected & important movie on Blu Ray! IMHO, Raintree County is a beautifully made film with a stellar cast, lush production design, and a phenomenol score. Could Elizabeth Taylor have...

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Warner Bros. Home Video & The WB Archive Collection -- in Blu-ray

    Mr. Harris's mention of Minnelli and Sinatra makes me wonder if "Some Came Running" will make its debut on Blu Ray next year. In addition to Garbo and Davis, Blu Ray releases of Elizabeth Taylor's, Judy Garland's, and Joan Crawford's WB & MGM classics would be fantastic. "Mildred Pierce" will...

    USHE Announcement: Fried Green Tomatoes (Blu-ray)

    It's the extended edition. It's my understanding that one of the earlier Region 2/'B' Blu Ray releases (possibly German?) of this excellent film also included the theatrical edition in standard definition as one of the extras. Again, a favorite movie of mine and I'm personally very pleased...

    USHE Announcement: Fried Green Tomatoes (Blu-ray)

    Anxiously waiting to read other member's thoughts on this recent Blu Ray release. Purchased this and the new "Somewhere In Time" Blu Ray on Tuesday. To my untrained/unqualified eyes, the picture quality looks pretty darn good. There is a lovely defined "lushness" to the overall image and I'm...

    2001 A SPACE ODYSSEY - IN 3-D?

    3-D would definitely be interesting. I'm anxiously waiting for the day when WB announces a new special edition Blu Ray containing (only as a supplement) the 17-19 minutes of footage removed after the film's premiere, which was discovered within a Kansas salt mine vault a few years back and...

    Criterion Press Release: It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World (Dual Format)

    Really looking forward to this very special release. My favorite moments in the film are those dealing with Ethel Merman's character. Could any other actress have better potrayed the cliched stereotype of the overbearing, loud-mouthed, irritating Mother-in-Law? I smile every time she is on...

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ The James Dean Collection -- in Blu-ray

    I absolutely love GIANT and I couldn't be more pleased with the new Blu Ray. The picture quality is amazing, particularly when compared to the previous DVD version, and the single digibook edition is beautifully done-it is quite large and has a nice substantial feel/look to it. I personally...
