    Kino-Lorber Insider Announcement Thread (Read Guidelines Post #3)

    I saw it when it came out, at the First Avenue Screening Room. It didn't have much of a release. It's an interesting film, gritty in both style and substance and very 70's, also very DYI indie, closer to WANDA than ON THE WATERFRONT. The performances are loose and improvisatory, as is the...

    Pre-Order The President's Analyst (1967) (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    I loved it when it came out. Haven't seen it since, but I'll be picking this up as well. I saw it second run at the Bleecker Street Cinema on a double bill with Breathless, and got a huge kick during that scene in the film when Coburn is being chased in the West Village and runs past the...

    One From the Heart: Reprise 4K UHD

    As I stated earlier, I prefer both Cotton Club & Apocalypse Now Redux. I think the re-edits are much superior, a better expression of the original footage, in terms of both character motivation and structure. Also, for me, they're more watchable. They pull you right in, and keep you there, in a...

    Not to divert the thread, but I believe Portia was part of that as well.

    One From the Heart: Reprise 4K UHD

    I believe the UHD is all region. I have the Blu-Ray, which is Region B.

    One From the Heart: Reprise 4K UHD

    Studio Canal releases are in Region B, in the UK, France & Germany. They usually license stuff out in Region A a little later. I imagine this will eventually turn up in the US. Like you, I imported this because I wanted to see it right away. Most of Coppola's re-edits have been coming from...

    One From the Heart: Reprise 4K UHD

    Yup. Just got mine too. I'm going to watch the theatrical version first. I loved it when I saw it at Radio City, thought it was perfection, so I see no reason to "fix" it. THE COTTON CLUB, on the other hand, had all kinds of issues in its theatrical release, and I thought Coppola's "redux" went...

    I've been waiting so long to see these! Maybe not exemplary masterpieces of cinematic art, the technical lapses of early sound film-making get in the way occasionally, but these are wonderful in so many ways.

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

    A funny line, considering the schedule and budget, but compared to TITANIC & AVATAR which followed, TRUE LIES is quite modest and intimate.

    When I was a kid, they had them in an arcade at Sylvan Beach. As I recall, there was quite a pronounced flicker.

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

    Managed the theater where it played in both a 70mm blow up as well as 35mm, and can confirm that. When we switched to 35mm at the end of the run, I thought the grain would be less prominent, but not so much.

    I believe Jamie Lee Curtis, the co-star of TRUE LIES also says, "I looked it up", in A FISH CALLED WANDA.

    UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - The Roaring Twenties -- in 4k UHD

    I watched this last night too. I was only checking to see what it looked like, and got completely caught up in the film. As Raoul Walsh notes in that brief interview excerpted as an extra, both Cagney and Bogart have this quality, that when the camera is pointed at them, it involves the...

    Kino-Lorber Insider Announcement Thread (Read Guidelines Post #3)

    It was intentionally cringeworthy. For me, it was the funniest and most charming part of her performance, because the character she played clearly adored doing it, the singing that is. Her character put everything she ever loved or cared for into that horrendous screeching, and though it might...

    Yeah. I've been waiting for this one for a real long time. And yes, this is the film where Candice Bergen came into her own as a comic actress. But though Mr. Reynolds and Ms. Clayburgh may have less showy roles, I think they're amazing in it. The thing about slipcases, they puzzle me. They're...
