    General Discussion Movie Themes and/or Soundtracks you dislike

    Speaking of Bond scores, the entire soundtrack to “Never Say, Never Again” is pretty weak. I never listen to it anymore. ( I also rarely watch the film anymore either.)

    Great Movies Almost Ruined By A Single Performance

    George Lazenby in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. Almost. It’s still one of my favorite Bond films, and I watch it often. But every so often during the film his performance takes me right out of it for few seconds. Considering his complete lack of experience he does an admirable job, but still…

    UHD Review Superman IV: The Quest for Peace UHD Review

    The way I’ve understood it, after they decided to stop shooting part II and just concentrate on finishing part I, they also realized that if Superman the movie was a flop, they would never finish part II, so perhaps it didn’t make sense to end on a cliffhanger anymore. So now they needed a new...

    UHD Review Superman IV: The Quest for Peace UHD Review

    I got the impression (from the extras on the blu ray) that the Donner Cut should be watched as if the first film did NOT include the turning back the world sequence, and ended on a cliffhanger, with the Phantom Zone Villains being freed by the XK-101 rocket Supes hurled into space (which was...

    Press Release PHE Press Release: Star Trek: The Motion Picture Restored Director's Edition and Six-Movie Collection (4k UHD)

    Yes! The sound mix/design of the Director’s Edition is completely new, including all the scenes from the original theatrical version. ( and since they had access this time to the ADR recordings, some of the performances and line readings are different from the ‘79 version.

    Press Release PHE Press Release: Star Trek: The Motion Picture Restored Director's Edition and Six-Movie Collection (4k UHD)

    I got the Complete Adventure 4K set today ( and got the same runaround about delivery date from Amazon that many others have posted about, so wound up getting it at Best Buy). Holy Moly does this film look and sound awesome now! I think I’m most taken by the new sound mix. There’s a lot of...

    Press Release SPHE Press Release: 1776 (1972) (4k UHD)

    Is anybody else experiencing freezing about 51 mins into the 4K disc? I’ve wiped the disc down, but still get multiple freezes between the 51 and 55 min mark, finally just stopping and I have to eject the disc. The special features disc with the theatrical and laser disc version loads and plays...

    Press Release Warner Archive Press Release: The Herculoids: The Complete Original Series (Blu-ray)

    It’s true there are only 18 first run episodes episodes that were broadcast from Sept.’67 to Jan. ‘68, but the show ran on CBS on Saturday mornings through the beginning of September ‘69. I always think of it as running for two seasons, even though it’s just same 18 episodes being run over and...
