I got detoured so I'll try again today to watch a 3-D Blu-ray. However, I did watch the German BD release of "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence" this morning. With a Region A BD release coming out on October 13th, I got the urging to watch this great film again in 1080p. I hope the Region A...

It's been several months since I last viewed a 3-D Blu-ray in any of my home theaters. This weekend, I'm going to be make a concerted effort to change that, I just got to make up my mind which of those 3-D titles I'm going to watch in the next couple of days. :) It's probably going to be a...

Wow!

Damn, I forgot how much I liked the 1944 version of "Jane Eyre". I actually watched this Blu-ray three times, without the commentary and then twice more with the two different audio commentaries. I've never been a big fan of Joan Fontaine, though, I do adore her sister Olivia de Havilland...

Next up on my viewing list is the TT Blu-ray release of "Jane Eyre" with Joan Fontaine and Orson Welles.

I would never tell another person to buy or not to buy a video release. From my personal perspective, I've decided to wait a bit longer before buying this Carlotta release.

I got done with watching "House of Bamboo" Blu-ray for the third time with the Silver and Ursini audio commentary. A couple of tidbits were offered in their commentary as they talked about some of the insightful comments that Fuller made about this film, when interviewed years later. It seems...

I have HD Digital copy from iTunes to hold me over so I'm going to wait in hope of Criterion or TT to release Cowboy onto Blu-ray.

I tend to stay away from releases from Spain for that reason.

I didn't even know that title was available. I tend to stay away from imports from France.

Today, I received my replacement disc for the German DVD release of "Night People". This 1954 film from Fox in CinemaScope and color is a Cold War espionage film starring Gregory Peck, Broderick Crawford and Buddy Ebsen that takes place in Berlin, Germany which was a divided city at that time...

Yesterday, I watched the Blu-ray of "These Amazing Shadows: The Movies That Make America". It's an outstanding 2011 documentary about the National Film Registry and how we need to preserve the America's 20th Century art form "Film". Several actors, filmmakers and film restoration experts...

Yep, those guys were good too especially Libertini.

Walter, Amazon is selling it for $8.99

Anybody else like Sharky's Machine? Warner finally released it on Blu-ray back in April and I watched my disc this afternoon. A good action/crime film from 1981, that Burt Reynolds starred in and directed it. Of course, my favorite reason for liking this film is because of Rachel Ward. :D...

This morning I watched the Blu-ray of "The Imitation Game" an AA nominated film from last year about Alan Turing, who broke the code for the Enigma machine that the Germans used in their military operations during WW II. Turing, a mathematics genius built a machine that decipher the coded...

Almost a year too late, but I finally got around to watching the Kino Blu-ray release of "Taras Bulba". A 1962 film starring Yul Brynner and Tony Curtis about the Cossacks fighting the Poles and Turks in the 16th century in what is now the Ukraine. Another film I loved from my childhood with...

Today, I watched the Olive Blu-ray release of The Slender Thread. A 1965 black and white film starring Sidney Poitier, Anne Bancroft, Telly Savalas, Steven Hill and Ed Asner. This was Sidney Pollack's directorial film debut with a Stirling Silliphant screenplay and Quincy Jones score. The...

I finally watched "Straight Outta Compton" at my local cinema. A damn good film about some kids from Compton, California that became some of the founding fathers of Gangsta Rap. A rags to riches story about Dr. Dre, Ice Cube and Easy E. Also, I viewed the UK Blu-ray of "The Eiger Sanction"...

I haven't paid attention to the trailer, but the movie was fun to me and can't wait to buy the Blu-ray.

Tonight, I watched the Twilight Time Blu-ray of "The Blue Max" with the audio commentary by Nick and Julie. A beautiful Blu-ray that helps this movie stand out even moreso with the terrific filmmaking that was required to make this movie. Tremendous camera work! This film is a lot better than...

Do you agree with me about her nose or am I imagining it?

My most recent film viewings are the following: I watched the TT Blu-ray of "To Sir With Love" with the audio commentary with Nick, Julie and Pamela Dare/Judy Geeson. A delightful commentary and of course, the Blu-ray presentation was excellent. A personal favorite of mine as it's the only...

It's been years since I last watched "House on Haunted Hill". Viewing it today brought back some good memories from my childhood in which my siblings and I would watch this classic horror film in the dark and cracking up with the camp fun on display in this film. Vincent Price and Elisha Cook...

Garfield gave a very strong performance in his last film "He Ran All the Way". What a superb actor that left this world much too early. No wonder other great method actors that came after him studied him. The Kino Blu-ray presentation grade is 3.5 on a scale of 1-5 with 5 being the highest...

Today, I had a VUDU double-feature westerns. "The Bravados" and "The Last Frontier", two CinemaScope westerns. The first film has always been a Gregory Peck favorite of mine about a man that relentlessly tracks down the men he thought were responsible for raping and killing his wife. The...

A lot better this week than last. I see the Doctor in a few days, hoping to get out of the fracture boot for my left foot and ditch those damn crutches. A bit of advice to anybody that needs to get a cortisone shot in their knee. Rest the leg after the shot and keep it elevated with some ice...

Both, The Young Lions and Guess Who's Coming to Dinner Blu-rays looked and sounded fabulous. Twilight Time, Fox and Sony should be proud of their work here. Furthermore, the audio commentaries on both discs are outstanding. Next up, Hellfighters starring John Wayne on Blu-ray and He Ran...

I just got done with the House of Bamboo Blu-ray from Twilight Time. A beautiful looking disc! I really enjoyed the Nick and Julie audio commentary. Next time, I'll watch it with the Silver and Ursini commentary. Also, watched Wee Willie Winkle in 1080p from VUDU today. It looked pretty...

When they do I'll be buying it again as I'm sure some improvements will be made with the presentation along with some bonus material. Hopefully, a good commentary track with Nick and Julie.
