How does the video transfer compare to the previous release? Other than the commentary, is it worth a double dip?

The fact is, watching HTWWW in ANY format other than Theatrical Cinerama is a compromise. Just accept the fact that there's no way can Smilebox or Letterbox or any existing home video presentation can possibly recreate the original experience, and live with it. Remember that Cinerama was a...

A few years ago, I had the pleasure of attending a screening of Dave Strohmaier’s documentary about Cinerama which is an extra feature on the HTWWW set, and it's truly outstanding. WB is to be commended for including this in the package -- it's a must see for anyone interested in the history of...

Could someone post an email address of some folks at Warner Home Video to whom we can complain? Let's not expect them to read our postings here, better to inundate them with complaints so they'll better get the message.

The colorized version is indeed well done...after toggling between the two versions, I actually found myself enjoying the color version more. The only thing I found disappointing about this edition is that the original trailer is NOT included. I believe the trailer can be found on other...

Thanks, Ken. I'm looking forward to picking this up. Meanwhile, does anyone have any idea if Warners will be releasing the rest of Tex Avery's MGM cartoons?

Other than the different title, are there any scenes or shots in the "uncut" version that differ from the "Road Warrior" version released theatrically in the U.S.?

Ken, over at DVD Beaver, they're saying that the Hornblower disk was transferred in interlaced mode, causing aberrations visible on high end systems. Here's the link: http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film2/DVDRe...hornblower.htm Did you (or does anyone else) notice any problems in this area? Thanks!

Nice review, Kevin. This is truly Saturday matinee material in the best way, and the eye-popping color restoration is a joy to behold. Of note is the appearance of Shemp Howard who would a few years later replace Curly in the 3 Stooges. Shemp plays Sinbad with a NY accent (!), which is a clear...

The lack of menu access to chapter stops, the lack of special features and the high price for such a bare bones DVD are simply more evidence of the low regard which Sony Home Video has for its library titles. It's almost as if Sony wants to discourage people from buying their library titles and...

I suggest you contact the Manufacturer or whoever sold it to you. Most (if not all) projectors have some sort of switch to flip the picture upside down so that the unit can be mounted on either ceiling or floor. You have to find out whether this was set at the factory or set by the store or...

Two Robert Aldrich movies come to mind: "Attack!" and "Emperor of the North" -- no women in sight.

Thanks, Ron. Sorry if I can't get more excited about this, but buying a Betamax in 1976 and eventually having to throw away all my tapes cured me of being an early adopter. I'll wait until there's one format with reasonably priced hardware and software. Just remember that "Click," "Kingdom of...

I'm with Joseph on this issue as well -- if you want the movie, buy it now so you can enjoy it now. I'm a recovering "early adapter," still in pain after chucking all my old Beta Tapes in the trash, and praying that my Laser Disc player doesn't crap out. With the Playstation 3 now delayed for...
