    UHD Review Run Lola Run UHD Review

    Good points, Robert Harris! I didn't know about the standard def TV parts. Still, I've heard the 4K transfer is well-done. Maybe worth a look, even if it's not a traditional 4K showcase.

    Netflix TEACHERS LOUNGE (2023) Oscar Nominee Best International Film

    Great review, Joe! I completely agree with your assessment of the film. Leonie Benesch's performance is indeed outstanding, and she brings a lot of depth to her character. The themes of free speech, privacy, and the rights of the accused are timely and thought-provoking. I also appreciate how...

    Thanks for the explanation! So, the 1.85:1 version is the original element, and the 2.00:1 version is a recreation of the theatrical release.

    Medical Marijuana

    I've been dealing with chronic back pain for years, and after trying various treatments, I found that CBD really helps. Since starting CBD, I feel more at ease and comfortable throughout the day. For those who use it, do you guys feel the same? And where do you get the CBD from? I get mine from...

    Looking for a new Universal Remote Control Recommendations

    If you have an iPhone or iPad, I recommend a universal TV remote app I have used for the past three months. It works very well and smooth.

    Films in which the opening theme or song bleeds into/plays over the opening studio logo(s)

    The the 1940s, Twentieth Century-Fox often eliminated the Fox fanfare at the opening and let the score begin over the traditional Fox searchlight logo. It was a sign of prestige to show that what was to follow was somehow special. Examples that come to mind are The Song of Bernadette, Leave...

    A Few Words About A few words about…™ Star Wars: A New Hope — in 4k UHD Blu-ray

    Yes, the Windsor had a deeply curved Cinerama screen and those comfortable rocking seats you would sink into. I wish STAR WARS had played there, but it was at the Galleria Cinema. EMPIRE played at the Alabama, another theatre that holds fond memories with me.

    The Sound of Music on 4K Disc?

    None of the above were ever recorded for the film, as they were eliminated long before the recording sessions.

    When are the Vintage Technicolor Movies Going To Be Released ?

    I remember seeing it at Cinecon in the early 90s and, later on, at UCLA's Melnitz Theatre. Both times there was a audible collective gasp from the audience at Nancy Carroll's introductory closeup, showing her large, expressive brown eyes and that luscious red hair.

    Warner Archive Announcements Thread

    I scooped up as many of the 30s and 40s Warners Archive second and third tier titles that I could when they were releasing them by the truckload on MOD DVD and I'd still be collecting them today if they were offered. But I can't complain. I have enough of them in my collection to last me for...

    Would Killing DVD Improve Blu-ray and 4K UHD’s Fortunes?

    You are underestimating DVD's ability to present a very pleasing picture to budget-conscious consumers. Will any given movie or series look better on blu-ray? If properly mastered, of course! But a well-mastered DVD will still look very nice when played on a high-quality player. I have an...

    I too am still on disc 3 of Season 1 and watching two episodes per week, which is twice my normal pace. I just watched "The Safecrackers" featuring Joseph Kearns again as Mr. Dunkle. Watching these chronologically, I can see the slow evolution away from the radio show. The earlier episodes...

    Your thoughts on Kino-Lorber Blu-rays

    I know I would! I saw this at a Cinecon years ago and loved it. Those Universal musicals would make a great boxset, similar to the recent Maria Montez-Jon Hall set.

    Your thoughts on Kino-Lorber Blu-rays

    SIX OF A KIND is one of my favorite Paramount comedies, not just for Fields, but for Charlie Ruggles, Mary Boland, Alison Skipworth and Burns and Allen as well. All are at their best here, although a little bit of Gracie Allen can go a long way.
