    Blu-ray Review Flamingo Road (1949) Blu-ray Review

    I over spent my budget this month due to Kino sale, but in May, grabbing this because Sydney Greenstreet is the best Brit as Southerner since Laughton, in Advise and Consent. I think he steals the whole picture.

    I recently paid 230 dollars for mine. (30 dollars shipping and taxes and such) and have been enjoying them for the last few months, watch about six eps per month. But...if Kino offers up some great extras, as they did with Night Gallery, the extras were amazing...I gotta admit. I will..painful...

    Blu-ray Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1931) -- in Blu-ray

    First time I "watched" March version of Jekyll/Hyde was in the Richard Anoble book, wherein he used still frames from the film to make a "comicbook" ,if you will, of the film. Back in the seventies I never thought I'd actually ever 'see the film" and the book was a cherished possesion to me...

    The "Guilty Pleasures" Movie Confession Thread

    ON DEADLY GROUND, mainly because of Billy Bob Thornton, who plays "one of the horde of bad guys." BBT steals every little scene he is in. My favorite, he has a mini routine [about his machine gun]...

    I am grateful for every morsel they give us. Was so surprised by the blus of FURY..ANGELS WITH DIRTY FACES...MAD LOVE. I'm living hand to mouth, just one year away from retirement, so pennies are limited. But I grab as many as I can while I can. I believe in FOMO. Fear of missing out. I...

    Definite must have for me. Mitchell Ryan was one of the last great characters actors, from where back in Dark Shadows was where I first discovered him. He always delivered.

    RBM has always been a great advocate for physical media and always does promote it. And very excited for the March Jekyll/Hyde. Love the Tracy version. This is reassuring for now. And glad George F got a better office. The guy deserves a palace.

    To state the obvious just to get it out of my system.... I share your trepidation considering that the new boss of the newly purchased Warners is referred to, by (some) giggling YouTube pundits as “The Ax of Zaslov”. These pundits ( some of them) giggle with glee and admiration because it is a...

    Blu-ray Review You Can’t Cheat an Honest Man Blu-ray Review

    Radiola made alot of the records where I think I first heard the Fields/Bergen recordings, and then there was a company called Mar-Bren that custom made cassette recordings of classic radio shows. It was ten dollars for one custom made sixty second tape. You picked the shows you wanted out of...

    Don Siegel "Babyface Nelson"

    Would love to see that happen. All that exists now are clearly pirated versions. One guy told me it was "public domain" which always means bad dupe. Hope someone finds this orphan and gives it a new birth!

    Don Siegel "Babyface Nelson"

    I've actually always loved this great early Siegel picture. And though I think Rooney's performance owes more then a bit to Cagney as Cody Jarret I remember it as a very strong picture. Having said that I've only seen it as a bad vhs/tv rip. Its never been on either a true vhs or dvd release...

    The era of TV shows on DVD is coming to an end

    very simple, very insightful, very true, and if I were still teaching "mass media", remember when that was a real class? I'd use that thesis as the basis for the class.
