    Pre-Order Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning Part 1 (4k UHD) (4k UHD SteelBook) (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    I don't recall when they started this trend of not including the Blu-Ray with the UHD purchase. For these type of releases, are we expecting the to be barebones (meaning no special supplements), or is it the case that both the Blu-Ray and UHD versions contain the same supplements. If the latter...

    Laurel & Hardy: Year One

    Newbie here on L&H films. Have the silent films ID'd in this release been released previously? Trying to determine if it's worth the investment.

    Press Release Warner Archive Collection Announcement: King Solomon's Mines (1950) (Blu-ray)

    When will they release this for sale? I don't see it listed anywhere, including Amazon.

    The 100 Greatest Action Movies on Blu-ray

    One thing I have a difficulty with is determining whether a film is an action movie, as it can also be categorized as a borderline thriller. Also, a lot of the films that are sequeled should probably be lumped into their own: Mission Impossible, Die Hard, Alien, Fast and Furious, MCU movies, DC...

    For the love of movies: The Past, Present, and Future of Cinema and what makes us fans

    Entertainment. I believe this word has different meanings for us when we choose to watch or grade a movie, regardless of how we heard about it. I'm pretty sure nowadays we have the benefit of watching the trailer to see if it even elicits our interest, despite the word of mouth through social...

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

    You wouldn't by chance have the previous Blu for comparison's sake? I'm just curious if the new Blu is also a better buy than the previous incarnation.

    Should "Classic" Films be released on 4K/UHD?

    My take is that it depends on the studio and who performs the 4K transfer. I end up reading the reviews before deciding to plunk down the hard cash. Movies like Lawrence of Arabia, My Fair Lady, Ten Commandments, and Jaws (if that can be considered Classic) received rave reviews for their 4K...

    UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ Pirates of the Caribbean - The Curse of the Black Pearl -- in 4k UHD

    Do we even consider this as a foreshadowing of the similar quality for all the other POTC 4k releases?

    From The Digital Bits some Paramount 4K titles in 2021!

    They should've targeted May 20th for MFL's release, since that's when Eliza Doolittle's Day is (if you watched the movie).

    Weekly RoundUp 11-24-2020

    Curious, does the Monty Python's Flying Circus: The Complete Series Bluray that comes out also on the 24th not count as as a new release? Here's the Amazon link: Amazon.com: Monty Python's Flying Circus: The Complete Series [Blu-ray]: Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry...

    Pre-Order The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy (4k UHD Steelbook) Available for Preorder

    I think he meant consolidating the Extended version into 1 disc. The past bluray versions had each single extended version into 2 discs. Given that these are now UHD, and a larger capacity, I was hoping this iteration of the Extended versions would fit into 1 disc. Based on Bill Hunt's info...

    I think I am done with Sony.

    I could be in the minority here, but so far my choice to go with the XBox One S as a 4K disk player has been working flawlessly since there's been firmware updates for the player app. I feel Microsoft has to beef up the drive and keep the player app updated to keep the player community happy...

    Disney Complete Animation 57 disc set 5 still DVD only

    It's just sad that they still choose to ignore that Song of the South as one of their animated classics.

    Weekly RoundUp 9-3-2019

    Ok, do any of these Ealing comedies by KL come with CC (subtitles)? Anyone know what the specs are if they do come with them? Only reason I ask is that thick English accents can be challenging at times to understand.

    Weekly RoundUp 3-27-2018

    Funny how Amazon shows there's a 3D version of Last Jedi. Is that a typo, or is it something that's probably only a non-US release?
