I bought this ALEXANDER several months ago along with several other SoulMedia titles. All around, I'd say it looks pretty damned good. Of course, it's not up to the restored stuff like BEN HUR or THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, but if you have...

Quote:Originally Posted by Professor Echo I never said the Timeless release of PETER GUNN will look any better, only that the A&E sets looked terrible. It wasn't just the prints that looked bad, but the quality of the transfers....

I would hope that they will be using the prints and/or transfers utilized for the Season One and Season Two sets of PETER GUNN released in the UK a couple years ago by Liberation Entertainment. Of course, those are long OOP, but the...

One crazy question, why on earth would Filmedia release CIRCUS WORLD with forced subs and then release others like BANDOLERO with a no French sub option? Usually a company would have a particular way of doing this, Carlotta France or...

Some good news for folks who mention THE LION IN WINTER. A BD will be released soon by the Danish SoulMedia company, with a subtitle free option. Their stuff is usually very good. I also wonder about SOLOMON AND SHEBA, since my...

Screened my DESIREE BD last night. It was truly gorgeous and a joy to watch. I thought Brando did a wonderful job in his role. Jean Simmons and Michael Rennie were flawless. God, I hope Twilight Time puts out more stuff like this...
