I had the pleasure of being one of the judges for the CE Week 2017 TV Shootout in NYC today. I flew in earlier in the week to be part of the calibration of the 6 UHD HDR 65” TV sets on Tuesday. The TV Shootout originated from our friend […]

Song to Song UHD Review
Told in a series of visual and auditory fits and starts, Terrence Malick’s Song to Song is arty, pretentious, unsatisfying, and ultimately pointless.

The Sea Chase Blu-ray Review
The Sea Chase, one of two John Wayne films to be released on Blu-ray by the Warner Archive this month, is a strange one. For one thing, it is difficult to wrap one’s head around the idea of Wayne portraying a German (albeit an anti-Nazi German) captain of a freighter […]
Life UHD Review
Another malevolent alien does away with a spaceship full of crew in Daniel Espinosa’s Life, an effective if painfully derivative sci-fi horror picture released within weeks of Ridley Scott’s next Alien adventure.
Blow-Up Blu-ray Review
Director Michelangelo Antonioni takes a rather jaundiced look at the London swinging singles scene of the 1960s in Blow-Up, the director’s tenth film and a great international success critically and at the box-office, his first full length feature in the English language.
