Wish I'd known. I'd have finally bought it.
This past year I've picked up a lot of Dark Shadows stuff. Each month a little more of this and that. Books, soundtracks, and all kinds of memorabilia. I've never collected movie and TV memorabilia before, except for buying DVD's, but Dark Shadows...
If you liked Frankenheimer's Seconds, you'll like The Brotherhood of the Bell, Jon. The two films have a lot in common. It's shot on 35mm film like a feature film and in color. It's literately written by novelist David Karp, artfully photographed in deep focus and wide angle, and directed by...
Paul Wendkos' THE BROTHERHOOD OF THE BELL (Columbia / CBS, 1970).
A brilliant thriller, acutely paranoid, and the finest movie ever made for television.
Wish I had a still or a poster or the admat from TV Guide.
Glenn Ford and Paul Wendkos considered it the finest work they'd done.
It is...
The audio has certainly improved. Bright and punchy. The old DVD had a muffled audio.
I'm so pleased Warner Brothers finally upgraded The Haunting and released it on blu-ray, but I wish they had included a slip-cover, inserted a booklet with an essay written by someone who knows what's what...
I haven't seen the Wild Side Video DVD. I'll hunt it up.
The Intergroove blu-ray looks like sh it on a shingle. When the wood is blue and the leather holster is green and the sand on the street is white you know something is wrong even though the fleshtones are fleshy. It's actually worse than...
Twilight Time might want to investigate the possibility of releasing One-Eyed Jacks (1961), a much-admired western starring Marlon Brando and Karl Malden with both general audience appeal and a strong cult-following. Possibly TT has looked into this film already and knows about its ownership and...
Warner Brother's new blu-ray of THE HAUNTING arrived today.
The audio is significantly improved, brighter, punchier and more present. This is how the film should sound.
The transfer is also improved. It has more detail and texture, and is more film-like than either the laser-disc or the DVD...
Gunman's Walk has never had so much as a DVD release. A much-admired, hardboiled western about family conflict with a first-rate Van Heflin performance and direction by Phil Karlson (Walking Tall). Western buffs have been clamoring for this one.
My sentiments exactly insofar as ZULU is concerned. I have the British blu but since this is a different transfer I'm buying it. The thought of not buying it never entered my head. An exceptional film on every level and very entertaining.
If we must pick on Twilight Time let's pick on them for...
