Fantasia (preferably with multiple cuts and mixes) Around the World in 80 Days '56 Help! The Fall (Tarsem Singh) Playtime

Finally got my hands on this and watched a few bits and pieces. In actual playback, I thought this looks excellent. It's weird seeing this in anything better than SD as this was the very first DVD I owned back in 2000. Would I have preferred the "dial" to be turned more in the direction of this...

I just checked the Olive Signature Blu-ray and the unrated cut is approx 1:48:19 minus the Olive and Paramount logos, which aren't on the theatrical cut (which is 1:48:18). Seems like the only difference between the two cuts is the use of more explicit takes in the unrated, but otherwise...

Great news to see The Ladykillers make it to UHD from Kino Lorber! I was worried it was stuck with Lionsgate as they did the old Blu-ray. Worth noting that KL did release three other big Alec Guinness/Ealing films a few years ago: Kind Hearts and Coronets, The Man in the White Suit, and The...

Looks like all the Olive extras are ported icer, but not what Artisan produced about 20 years ago.

I voted for Disney for the utter lack of meaningful releases in the year besides the excellent UHDs of Snow White and Cinderella. They recycled a terrible Blu of The Sword in the Stone when a 4K Dolby Vision master exists on Disney+, didn't license a single title (other than Mill Creek DVD...

The US edition of The Exorcist has such a laughably bad cover, I was compelled to order the UK release with the poster art and all the supplements intact.

These are extraordinary films and it's easy to see why Ray stood out as a filmmaker. Somehow, these are beautiful films in terms of naturalistic visuals and acting, while not in the same league of artifice like a Lean or Kubrick. These feel like cinema that just "happened" in front of the...

Grandeur is about 2.10:1 as seen on the Fox Blu of The Big Trail

While I felt this was underwhelming overall, the animation and visual design are quite lovely. Worth pointing out that it was 2.55:1 theatrically.

Would be nice to have something along the lines of a "Henson Rarities" collection with his early experimental film and television work like Time Piece and The Cube, as well as his ads and industrial films.
