    UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - True Lies -- in 4k UHD

    Pre-ordered months in advance from Amazon.ca and just received an email they don't know when they'll be able to ship. Noticed its not even shown on their website in the USA and Canada to order anymore. Retailers habitually under estimate the demand for physical media. Ditto for The Abyss and Aliens.

    Blu-ray Review Looney Tunes Collector’s Choice Volume 3 Blu-ray Review

    The only possible explanation for the complete exclusion of a single Robert Clampett directed cartoon in Volume 3 and Volume 2! is that Warner Archive is planning a Tex Avery style series of Blu Rays devoted to Robert (Bob) Clampett. He certainly deserves it. Arthur Davis inherited Clampett’s...

    A few words about...™ - Nope -- in 4k UHD

    Was a little disappointed with the 4K Blu Ray image. IMAX day scenes look great, but night (Day for Night?) have exceedingly low contrast. My image setup is reflective, projected, so no Dolby Vision. Didn’t see it in the theatre so no frame of reference. Still enjoyed the movie.

    A few words about...™ - Scarlet Street -- in 4k UHD

    A 4k production line bottleneck isn't the issue, its the suits at Warner Brothers Discovery that are holding things up. Do you think the camera negative still exists? Can't remember what studio originally released this one. I'm a big Edward G. Robinson fan so this one has been on my list for a...

    UHD Review Hugo 4K+3D Review

    Totally agree with the assessment of Neil’s well written review. The 3D image is stunning viewed with my Benq X3000i. For those readers who are still on the fence about going with projection, it isn’t as hard or expensive as you think. The reward Is a theatrical experience that can rival or beat...

    Press Release SPHE Press Release: Columbia Pictures’ 100th anniversary

    Single 4k discs from their Big Box Of Completely Unrelated Movies sets 1 to 4 would be a good start. 4k singles of Dollars, The Anderson Tapes, The Chase, Lady From Shanghai, The Face Behind The Mask would be great. Glenn Ford made many great movies at Columbia, how about some of those. A Blu...

    Thanks, typo error, 70mm is correct, but 15 not 5 perf is correct.

    UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - Oppenheimer -- in 4k UHD

    Was surprised how effective IMAX 75-15 Perf worked with a dialog driven drama. Nolan proved IMAX isn't just for action movies. It was the shortest 3 hour movie I've ever seen. Glad to read the 4K UHD got your seal of approval. The focus of this forum is obviously on the home theatre experience...

    UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One -- in 4k UHD

    Saw about 20 minutes of it in the theatre before I walked out because the patron in front of me wouldn't stop using her cell phone. I really missed not seeing genuine IMAX sequences. Marketing it as an IMAX movie was a little dishonest. Fan of the series but like you stated it was up against a...

    UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - The Way We Were -- in 4k UHD

    Amazon in Canada is working overtime to kill physical media sales. They never made it available for pre-order. When it did briefly became available it sold for the bargain price of $67.38 tax included.

    Hello Robert, just wondering if you will be reviewing The Man Who Knew Too Much. Looking forward to your thoughts. Thanks.

    Why is it becoming more difficult to obtain new 4k releases?

    As bad as the situation is in the US it's even worse in Canada. Amazon.ca didn't make THE WAY WE WERE available for pre-order. I have a pre-order of SLEEPY HOLLOW 4k UHD that they seem to have no interest in shipping. My last order from Amazon.co.uk was shipped via DHL instead of Royal Mail...

    Why is it becoming more difficult to obtain new 4k releases?

    Consumers typical shop at big box stores and industry feeds that market. Unfortunately consumers are typically lazy when it comes to research. If they had done their homework they would have realized they can buy a 4k, 3D Blu Ray ready DLP projector for less money than a flat panel display with...
