    Man´s Castle and other new Borzage restorations screening at MoMA

    The restoration of Man's Castle premiered at last year's TCM Classic Film Festival. Don't have a memory of a racy nude bathing scene but that's what happens when you see five films per day....

    Oppenheimer (2023)

    Gratuitous ? They didn't bother me at all - in fact, if in reality Oppenheimer was the womanizer he's portrayed here it made him a fully-rounded character rather than deifying him.

    Oppenheimer (2023)

    I know Nolan's excuse was that he didn't intend every bit of dialogue to be audible, but while realistic, it shatters the artificial world that has been created between the film and the audience. Every time there is a bit of dialogue that I assume should be clearly heard but isn't, it...

    Oppenheimer (2023)

    My recollection is that the trailer for the film started the complaints about Hardy's dialogue and Nolan may have factored that in to the final sound mix.

    The book included in the set points out that the link between all of the titles is "an exploration on the formation and dissolution of the romantic relationship".

    Press Release SPHE Press Release: Columbia Classics 4k Ultra HD Collection: Volume 4

    I recommend catching Colin at the 1 a.m. show in the lounge - that's when he "goes blue ".

    Theatrical Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024)

    I'm the exact opposite of Jake ; when I heard the official title I thought it was brilliant and would instantly connect with the millions of fans the film has developed over the decades. I hope the film itself is half as clever.

    UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ My Fair Lady-- in 4k UHD Blu-ray

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this basically a non-issue with digital projection ? My understanding is that much like our widescreen televisions, with digital projection, the aspect ratio of a film is programmed within the basic 1:85 container which is the "full frame". A film can be...

    Joe is in Calgary, I believe. Canada's only 15/70mm run is in Cineplex Vaughan, in the northwest zone of the Greater Toronto area.

    Hardware Review EverSolo DMP-A6 Music Streamer/DAC Review

    I have this unit and love it despite the occasional frustrations, such as the iOS app that has terrible lag between the app and the unit while trying to scroll through things. Using an Android tablet with the Android app also has the same issues . Unlike the Apple TV, this will play high-res...

    UHD Review The Train – UHD Blu-ray Review

    I think it's misleading to suggest 1:66 is the original aspect ratio, as 1:66 was obsolete in American theatres for many years before this was released and no major American theatre would have shown it in any ratio but 1:85 by then.

    A little late responding to this, but the Paris went through a major upgrade recently which included a new Dolby Atmos audio system.

    TCM's January 2024 Schedule

    The Abyss (4K special edition) in theaters 12/6/23

    Saw it tonight on one of the few scope screens in the city with actual masking on all fours sides of the frame, rather than letterboxed on a 1:85 constant width screen. Haven't seen it since the laserdisc years but enjoyed it more than I ever had before. People applauded several times and at the...

    Killers of the Flower Moon (2023)

    DiCaprio was originally slated to play the FBI agent eventually played by Jesse Plemons, but had reservations when he saw the first version of the script, which told the story as a procedural from the perspective of the agent. He told Scorsese he felt the focus of the story should be on the...
