    The Blu ray presentation is also superb.

    Gay-Friendly Blu-rays

    This series certainly deserves greater recognition as does Showtime. When HBO was still choking on the word 'gay' Showtime was running this series; when the Republicans refused to fund any gay content via NEA Showtime stepped right up to finance and produce the 'Tales of the City' series when...

    Oppenheimer (2023)

    The non IMAX 70MM presentation at the Music Box theatre in Chicago is superb.

    The most disappointing films you have ever watched in a theater.

    'West Side Story' 2021......Dull, unimaginative and grossly overpraised by critics. The (sparse) audience I saw it with in Chicago was lethargic throughout the entire screening. I don't think I read one review of this film without numerous labored and predictable references to the original...

    Great Movies Almost Ruined By A Single Performance

    The indiscriminate love and loyalty for Julie Andrews on HTF never ceases to amaze me....and I say this as a fan.

    Blu-ray Review A Few Words About A few words about…™ Romeo and Juliet (1968) – in Blu-ray

    That's an interesting site, but not the same one. The post I found was written in narrative form and focused more on the liability of both sets of parents. Apparently they (parents) were fully onboard and gave consent for Olivia and Leonard to do whatever was asked of them. It also explained...

    Blu-ray Review A Few Words About A few words about…™ Romeo and Juliet (1968) – in Blu-ray

    I knew I'd be asked that and unfortunately I can't remember. I googled the lawsuit a day or so after it was filed and it was one of many that came up. It was either a law school website or a firm that dealt primarily with entertainment issues. It also said the suit would be thrown out due to all...

    Blu-ray Review A Few Words About A few words about…™ Romeo and Juliet (1968) – in Blu-ray

    Both Olivia Hussey and Leonard Whiting required their parents' permission to star in 'R&J'. Both sets of parents agreed in writing. Because Paramount is an American company, it was required to adhere to American laws and standards re: employment of minors. Olivia's mother was present during the...

    What was 'creepy' about Roy? Unless you're privy to some information no one else is I think another adjective might be more charitable.

    The racism on display is supposed to bother and make the viewer uncomfortable. Obviously it makes its point.

    What racism? This film is clearly anti racist.

    Pre-Order Tina (2021) (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    Not sure.....none of the sites I usually visit have reviewed it. I did re-purchase and the issue was present on the second disc as well. I emailed Warner but never received a response.

    Pre-Order Tina (2021) (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    I'm a huge Tina fan so I purchased the blu ray and was very disappointed with the transfer. The concert footage transfer is particularly egregious..It looks much better on HBO.

    A Few Words About A few words about…™ Lawrence of Arabia - in 4k UHD Blu-ray

    When I posted my comment I was actually going to say 'late '70 or early'71'. I remember the announcement in the NY Times, and purchasing my ticket during the week for a weekend screening. Thanks for researching and clarifying this for us.

    It was, indeed, a brief Roadshow presentation. I saw it as well and agree with you....this cut was incomprehensible.

    A Few Words About A few words about…™ Lawrence of Arabia - in 4k UHD Blu-ray

    This cut played the Rivoli Theater in NYC in late '70. It was shown on a 'reserved seat' basis, though the engagement was short-lived. NYC critics who reviewed this re-release all made mention of the cuts and subsequent shortened running time.

    RYAN’S DAUGHTER: Discussions for a BD Release (2015 - 2024)

    It was shown on a 'reserved performance' basis with general admission seating at the Ziegfeld. It was run twice daily. I had purchased my tickets at the box office about a month or so prior to the premiere.

    Rita began to disparage her husband about 15 minutes after he died, and has been dining out on her mistreatment by Marlon Brando for 62 years. She now has begun to opine on Jerome Robbins' internalized homophobia/self loathing, espousing her theory that this is behind his sadistic treatment of...
