    Blu-ray Review A Few Words About A few words about…™ Invaders from Mars – in Blu-ray

    Will this ever be available outside the US? I saw this on TV when I was a kid in the 60s, and it scared the crap out of me. I really want to see it in 4K!

    Blu-ray Review A Haunting in Venice Blu-ray Review

    The movie looks great, but I found the story and some of the acting a bit underwhelming. It's still a bit of fun. It's one of the few times that I picked the killer within about 5 minutes of the main characters being introduced.

    UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ -The Godfather(s) 50th Anniversary Restoration -- in 4k UHD

    Damn, they are both magnificent creations. When seeing Part II - sans Brando - I remember the anticipation generated in the family flashback scene where the Don comes home from hospital...

    UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ -The Godfather(s) 50th Anniversary Restoration -- in 4k UHD

    Part II is the stand-out for me. I saw it theatrically when it came out in 1974. Not many films had the impact on me that Part II did. The scenes of old New York, De Niro's performance, and the transformation of Michael Corleone give it the edge over Part I.

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

    I've always thought Frenzy is an excellent Hitchcock film. It's gruesome and disturbing, with a generous helping of very black humour. I wonder whether a film like it could be made now...

    While I would appreciate more Clampett and Tex Avery on bluray, I am very happy to see Arthur Davis included in the forthcoming volume.

    International Via Vision Entertainment announces new premium Blu-ray label IMPRINT

    Yes, I am in Australia. I made a special trip to a suburban JB-Hifi store to pick up a copy, as my local store didn't have it in.

    International Via Vision Entertainment announces new premium Blu-ray label IMPRINT

    I bought 'Save the Tiger' last week and watched it on the weekend. It looks a bit rough, but better than the DVD. I think it's probably the best we'll get, unless Paramount sees fit to revisit it. It doesn't seem like the sort of film that will benefit much from a 4k scan, but I am no expert on...

    Pre-Order Peter Falk 4-Film Comedy Collection (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    A shame that the likes of Alan Arkin and Jack Lemmon get 'greyed out' on the cover art! :confused:

    Pre-Order Spider (2002) (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    One of Cronenberg's very best. It'll look great on bluray, I'm sure.

    Blu-ray Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - The Strange Love of Martha Ivers -- in Blu-ray

    This is a great noir, IMO - it has a certain level of restrained hysteria about it that makes it compelling. Everyone in the cast is at the top of their game,

    Press Release Criterion Press Release: Arsenic and Old Lace (1944) (Blu-ray)

    I'm sure Boris Karloff would have been good in this movie, but I have always thought Raymond Massey was terrific in it. As was Peter Lorre. I'm looking forward to this disc.
