For me, the most important of Twilight Time's April '15 releases, is James Ivory's The Remains of the Day.
This is one of those beautiful films that, over a two-hour span, exists within itself, not only telling a story, but almost having a life of its own.
The film was photographed by Tony...

<b>Man in the Dark 3D Blu-ray Review</b><p>Shot in just a few days to get its 3D images on the screen before any other major studio of the era, Lew Landers’ <em class='bbc'>Man in the Dark</em> is only a mediocre noir drama but a wonderful 3D experience. Those looking for in-depth...

I've mentioned here before that Columbia Blu-rays are boring to review.
There's never anything interesting to report.
Color levels, shadow detail, grain structure and resolution are always spot on, perfect.
So here we go...
