    What do you think, is there a chance for Arthur(1981)?

    Personally speaking it's only Dudley Moore and John Gielgud's performances that make Arthur watchable. Take those performances out and all you have left is a tepid romcom. Nice to have it on BD as I never did get around to buying it on DVD. Probably should do it as one of the Double Feature...

    Redbox is going to start renting Blu-rays

    Well if I was a shut in and never left my house then yeah driving the quarter mile to the Redbox inside Walmart or the one across the road in the HEB grocery store would be a huge bind. Fortunately I'm not a shut in. In fact I make frequent visits to both these stores multiple times in one week...

    Redbox is going to start renting Blu-rays

    Quote "I get a laugh watching people stand in line, in the cold rain, just to rent or return a disc! All for renting a disc for a buck! I must be to old to "get it". You know every time I go to Redbox as I approach the machine all of a sudden it's starts pouring with rain and people from out...

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Presumed Innocent & Frantic -- in Blu-ray

    Do we know yet whether the Kelly's Heroes/Where Eagles Dare set will be single disc or 2 discs like the Dirty Harry set? Amazon has it listed as a 2 disc set. I agree with your assessment Mr Harris. Both films look really good. As someone who waited many years for both of these movies to show...

    Blu-ray Review HTF BLU-RAY REVIEW: Funny Farm/Spies Like Us (Double Feature)

    Just picked up my copy of Funny Farm/Spies Like Us from BB $14.99 + Tax. Just glancing through them they look pretty good. A little soft but that's how I remember them theatrically. Funny Farm shows some signs of compression artifacts but nothing too intrusive. For @ $8 per movie they're a nice...

    Blu-ray Review HTF BLU-RAY REVIEW: Funny Farm/Spies Like Us (Double Feature)

    I got the Presumed Innocent/Frantic disc a couple of days ago. I am more than happy with both presentations. Both prints are very clean and grain is intact on both and a good level of detail. Huge step up from the DVD versions. I hope when I get Funny Farm/Spies Like Us (as soon as Amazon has...

    The Taking Of Pelham 1-2-3, anamorphic?

    Apart from the fact that they both have the word "Man" in the title I can't see any connection or "intertextuality" between these two movies. Totally different in every respect.

    Which has been the best decade for music?

    If you were going to judge which decade I prefer purely by looking at my music collection then you would probably assume that it would go like this 1. 80's 2. 70's 3. 60's 4. 90's 5. 50's and you'd be right. The trouble with the 50's is I only really like the Rock 'n' Roll part of the...

    Original Opening Logo WB / United Artist etc.

    Enter The Dragon was one of those WB movies that had the Saul Bass logo replaced but then they put it back on the last SE.

    Circuit City closing all stores -- watch for bargains coming soon

    The CC sale is a joke. Even with 40% off their prices on Blu Ray are still higher than Amazon. Add the TX 8% sales tax all I could do was laugh.
