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

    This is a salient point -- I often think, "They just don't know what they're missing," when in fact, that is exactly the point. They (younger generations) don't know what they're missing, don't care, and why should they? It's projection on our part to assume that kids today will like all the...

    Notorious (1946) and Spellbound??

    Does Disney own these now? If so, good luck on getting a reissue.

    Blu-ray Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - Poor Things -- in Blu-ray

    Yeah. College demonstrations, classes abandoned. Moratoriums. Marches. End this f**kin' war! That sort of thing. The "leader" of the SDS in Rochester circa 1969 encouraged violence to make our voices heard. Loads of fun. But, is this movie really good? Worth a purchase? Obviously, in the eye of...

    I'm good with the 3D version. No desire to rewatch in 2D. Too many movies, too little time.

    Awesome news, KIno...thanks so much! The Paramount transfer is nearly unwatchable.

    Your thoughts on Kino-Lorber Blu-rays

    Damn, I wish we could wrest those WW titles from the estate. Is there any recent scuttlebutt about them, post-Wade?

    This may have already been mentioned, but Weaver did not receive an Oscar for this, although she was nominated. Great review, otherwise! Thanks.

    3D Meet Bob Furmanek: HTF Golden Age 3-D Consultant

    Congratulations, Bob. Another Kickstarter victory! Yes there really are still fans of 3D out here! So poopoo to you, Warner Bros, for not allowing a 3D release of DUNE, PART 2. We willingly sat still in our seats for two-and-a-half hours wearing 3D glasses for the first film, and bought the 3D...

    Press Release Scream Factory Press Release: The Island of Dr. Moreau (1996) Collector's Edition (Blu-ray)

    This is an objectively awful movie, but it does feature one absolutely brilliant element: the main titles. This sequence, credited to Vince Abogado, is a marvelous visual freak show, a hyperkinetic and mesmerizing two-plus minutes that build to a breathless crescendo. It's a remarkable...

    The Wind (1928) new restoration

    Would love to see WAC release this new restoration of THE WIND along with THE CROWD on Blu-ray (they were paired on laser disc, and never made it to DVD). GREED would be cool, too. Any one or all three, they would likely be more profitable than THE BOOB.

    Warner Archive Announcements Thread

    I agree that posting the same thing multiple times is kinda useless, unless said posts are spaced out by years and any newer post bringing up the same topic offers something a bit different. However, I disgree that such postings fall on deaf ears. I am firmly of the belief that Mr. Feltenstein...

    Press Release Criterion Press Release: Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio (2022) (4k UHD) (Blu-ray)

    Has anyone the Blu-ray of this, and willing to check its pedigree? I rented this, and saw that the play side looks purple and has noticeable lighter/darker areas, which leads me to think it's a burn. But from Criterion?

    Disney & Sony Ink Deal For Sony To Take Over Disney's Physical Media Production

    If nothing else, I hope the 4K line of classic animation -- only two so far, but so-o promising -- continues. As for SOS, the studio has been under several stewardships, but its stance has not changed on this ridiculous overkill of a film that has been held so dear by so many for so long. I'd...

    Press Release Warner Archive Collection Press Release: Stand and Deliver (1988) (Blu-ray)

    Wasn't this one of the early WB DVDs, in a snapper case, and letterboxed (i.e. not anamorphic)? It's a decent flick, and I'm pleased to see it get a Blu release.

    Again, I agree.

    Anyone join the DISNEY MOVIE CLUB?

    I completely concur. Yet, Disney was a major, major reason why many people got into collecting physical media to begin with (ah, the irony). They induced many of us to invest (heavily) in 3D Blu-rays and equipment, before suddenly abandoning them, first in the U.S., and then -- after having...

    Review of the Tim Burton "Planet of the Apes" film (2001) on Blu-ray & my take on the ending

    That is a good - and certainly reverential - review. Thanks, Jim. I recall seeing Burton POTP theatrically and walking out feeling disappointed, but thinking I'd deserved to. After all, I'd seen the original in 1968, and there wasn't any way I could have imagined it being bested, other than...

    Sony's Missing Columbia Titles.

    This is the first time I have seen anyone mention HIGH FLIGHT. It is an extraordinarily mundane movie with Ray Milland in the RAF. It was, oddly, paired with THE 7th VOYAGE OF SINBAD in 1958, which is the only reason I saw it -- twice, once in White Plains, NY, and the other in NYC).
