A little off topic, but if you're a fan of "A Matter of Life and Death", try to see the South Korean afterlife fantasy "Along with the Gods: The Two Worlds". Lots of imagination and a great sense of fun. Not many films remind me of the Archers but this one did.

I'll watch absolutely anything with Lee Marvin or Toshiro Mifune in it, so to watch them together is a no-brainer for me. Glad to hear the Blu is worth a buy.

It's actually 128, which is less than I would have guessed. This chart breaks it down nicely: https://www.visu.info/john-wick-2-kill-count/

^ Yes, I went back and skipped through different scenes and didn't have any problem with sound synchronisation. And I didn't get any English subtitles for the first song either, although the main title is subtitled in English after selecting "sans" subtitles from the menu. And again the image...

That's odd, Robin9. I didn't notice any issues with the sound sync playing back on my Oppo 93, although it was only a quick run through and I wasn't paying as much attention as you obviously did. I was also able to remove the subtitles at the menu stage, first by selecting the English version...

I hope your patience is rewarded, OliverK. Even if they do turn out to be the same transfer, you can at least take comfort from the fact that it's nothing like the Sidonis "Comanche Station" release. Those caps all look like recreations of movie scenes by Madame Tussauds!

Yes, looking closely at the disc (and getting right up to the screen) there might be a little edge enhancement/digital manipulation, which isn't unusual from Universal. But in motion the film looks excellent. And don't equate this Elephant release with others from Sidonis. I agree that Blus and...

Can't speak for Alvarez Kelly, but received my copy of "Night Passage" from Amazon France and can report there are no forced subtitles on the English-language version. There are three "versions" you can select from at the man menu: two with French audio (stereo and mono), and one with English...

Came here to share in the excitement over "Ride the High Country" only to find out "Junior Bonner" and "The Rounders" are coming too! "Junior Bonner" is one of my favourite Peckinpahs and the letterboxed DVD transfer is awful so the Blu can't come quickly enough. And I probably like "The...

I really like the film, too, Reggie. The interplay between the characters is excellent. Unfortunately, the DVD is pretty horrible, and coupled with the earthy colour palette (very different to the Mann/Stewart films), that makes it difficult to watch. Judging by the screen shots there is some...

It's been released in France by Sidonis. https://www.amazon.fr/Charge-tuniques-bleues-Édition-Spéciale/dp/B01KKJW3SM/ref=sr_1_1?s=dvd&ie=UTF8&qid=1487049770&sr=1-1&keywords=La+Charge+des+tuniques+bleues Review (in French) here...

^ Screenshots at the Beaver look stunning. Every frame is just beautiful.

For fans of Gloria Grahame, I can highly recommend this book, "Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool": https://www.amazon.com/Film-Stars-Dont-Die-Liverpool/dp/0802100422 Track down a copy if you can.

^ Keach did a great job with "The Killer Inside Me" (directed by Burt Kennedy, of all people) in 1976, again with Susan Tyrrell. Really worth seeing if you can track a copy down.

Some absolutely great recommendations here. Of the films listed, don't miss "Ulzana's Raid" (I think Universal did an "On Demand" pressing of this, which is excellent), "The Friends of Eddie Coyle" (Criterion), "The Seven Ups" (almost as good as "The French Connection") and "Junior Bonner"...
