Does anyone have info on the Blu-ray mastering for the Audie Murphy Collection, vol. 2? (Sierra, Kansas Raiders, Destry). Usually the announcement comes with info like “New 2K scan from the original camera negative“ but I can’t find that info for this set.
They’re also releasing Revolt at Fort Laramie on April 25, listed by Amazon as MGM MOD. So maybe the program has been revived…? I’m guessing they’re going to use whatever master they have on hand, though.

The Shout! Factory Shaw Bros. box does not duplicate any of the films in the two Arrow sets. The box is swordplay films from the late '60s -- several starring the divine Cheng Pei=pei. :)

This spectacular box set comprises 11 classic martial arts films from the famous Shaw...
There’s one way to guarantee they’ll release this set in Blu-ray, and that’s by buying the DVD set. The Blu-ray no doubt will be announced as soon as I crack the plastic wrapping. 🫤
I remember seeing The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra at the Landmark Midtown Art theater here in Atlanta with a friend, and boy, did we have a great time. We still talk about it all the time. I met Mr. Blamire at a Monsterama con a few years ago (great little Atlanta con for monster fans), and he...
Maria Montez/Jon Hall set (White Savage/Gypsy Wildcat/Sudan) -- blu-ray info says 2K scans, but nothing about the elements used. Anyway, if you measure by the standard used by another company releasing three-strip Technicolor films, these won't be in that league. Color nice, but not...
Y’all left off Random Harvest from your lists. 😁 We need a Blu-Ray of Random Harvest!
Would also like The Student Prince in Old Heidelberg (and anything else with Ramon Navarro), Tol’able David, the remaining Judy Garland titles, how about some Jane Powell (nice to have Athena but it’s pretty...
There are listings on Amazon France for 4Ks of The Last Picture Show and It Happened One Night, so perhaps those two titles will be in the next set too.
Everything Everywhere All At Once is my favorite movie of 2022 (so far) and as much as I'm looking forward to watching the 4K disc (arrived yesterday), it really is the kind of visually eye-popping experience you need to see in the theater. And it still is in theaters, so go now! Besides, who...

I watched Summertime streaming in 1:37 aspect ratio on the Criterion channel, and to my completely untutored, layperson's eye, the shots that were mostly just of Venice cityscapes looked fine in 1:37, but most of the shots with the characters obviously had too much headroom. It would be...
Got my Godfather set today. Put in the first disc. Looks really gorgeous all right. Though it looks weirdly too contemporary. So I know where RAH is coming from, even though I'm your average viewer and no expert.
Major problem though: The Godfather (disc 1) keeps freezing in chapter 8 (I...
Heard from KL again. They're fixing the Blue Skies master and will redo the discs, and should be able to send them out by late April or early May. They'll be sharing replacement disc links soon. Thanks so much to Kino Lorber!
I messaged KL regarding the muffled taps audio problem on Blue Skies and they responded that they're looking into this and if the issues are confirmed, they'll set up a disc replacement program.
I just watched Blue Skies and you’re absolutely correct. The taps are missing! I just sent KL a message about this. I hope we hear back from them soon.
