LIFE OF PI has the original theatrical trailer but you must buy the 3-D version in order to see it along with some other cool stuff in both 2-D and 3-D. None of these extra features are on the regular blu ray. -Claude

I thought the first season and it's prequel were excellent and I was expecting the same from season two but I agree with Everything Mr. Harris said about the current season. Visually and sonically, the current season of SPARTACUS is awesome but the story is extremely boring and I find it very...

I saw HIGH TIME at the Arlington Theatre in Santa Barbara when I was enrolled at Brooks Institute of Photography back in 1960. The CinemaScope four track mag stereo presentation was excellent and I remember enjoying the movie very much and I am glad it is finally available on Blu ray and I am...

unless there is no store in your area, why are you having it shipped from Best Buy when you can easily drive to the nearest BB and have it in your hands right away, Eric? I went to the nearest BB store here in Honolulu this morning and they had four more digibooks after I grabbed mine. For...

Thank you Kevin for your response. I will consider everything you said when I decide to purchase the set. As far as the loss of picture resolution from a Passive HDTV 3-D process , I knew about the fifty percent loss and I do not think that will be a problem because I heard the glasses are...

I watch my movies and television in a average size room on a Samsung with a 1080p display and I am very pleased with the set. The screen size is 26 inch and it could be a little bit larger and I think I have found a great replacement. I have always loved 3-D and planned to get a HD set with it...

I got BLUE-WHITE-RED (Three Color Trilogy). THE 39th STEP and THE SAMURAI TRILOGY by Hiroshi Inagaki. So far I had watched the Alfred Hitchock movie and the first two of the three color trilogy. THE 39TH STEP was excellent but the b&w image was a little lacking and not as striking as A NIGHT...

I know IT CAME FROM OUT OF SPACE was release in 3-D with stereo sound and I think MISS SADIE THOMPSON did too. Was the stereo sound used by the other studios the same as WarnerPhonic Sound.? I would assume it was -Claude

If that is so Travis, why are B&N and some other retailers who sell DVDs and BDs selling their discs at full retail most of the time when they are not having special sales? -Claude

The B&N at the Ala Moana Centre also had OUTLAND on the day it was released. This store is very reliable regarding major catalogue releases but the only problem is their prices. Everything is sold ar full MSRP price if one is not a member. Members always get ten percent off the retail price...

So WarnerPhonic sound was a double system,. As I had mentioned at the Film Tech Forum, I saw HOUSE OF WAX in dual projection 3-D at the Liberty Theatre in Honolulu during it's first run engagement in 1953 but sadly, it was not in stereo. Because I did not know anything about stereophonic...

I had no problem picking up a single disc edition of SINGING IN THE RAIN at the Barns & Noble store at the Ala Moana Centre store in Honolulu this morning. They had both the single as well as the special edition boxed set. I wanted to buy it at Best Buy because it would have been cheaper than...

Bob, Was. WarnerPhonic Sound a sound on film process or was it a double system like theatrical DTS is? if is was sound on film, I assume it used magnetic tracks and if so, how did it differ from the right-centre-left--surround tracks of CinemaScope's four track mag? -Claude

Will HOUSE OF WAX have the original WarnerPhonic stereo sound or will it only have a mono track? I asked because I had heard the stereo tracks were either damaged or no longer exists. I still have the 2-D version on DVD and do not remember if it featured the stereo track. -Claude

Thanks, nealg. I will be placing an order for the disc early next week with the information you had provided. Can't wait to receive the disc. I have a couple of CDs by the SFO and Michael Tilson Thomas but this will be my first video by that great orchestra. Although the SFO is celebrating...

i never saw the concert when it was shown on PBS and want to get the BD but the $70.00 price is too rich for my blood. Can anyone tell me why this disc is so expensive? Most of the operas, ballet and symphonic concert discs I had purchased so far has never exceeded more than $45.00. Most...

I was at my Costco in Honolulu and was able to purchase all four seasons of MAD MEN in Blue Ray for about twelve dollars each just before Christmas. The store also had the complete Mel Brooks collections of movies on Blue Ray for about forty dollars. Beside MAD MAN and the MEL BROOKS...

I was only thirteen years old when I saw THE STARS & STRIPE FOREVER in a theatre when it was first released and loved it. This is a movie I had waited forever for it to be released on DVD because I never forgot it after seeing it. It never was released on DVD but imagine my surprise when I had...

Are you sure the Magnetic Video of THE SOUND OF MUSIC was VHS, Rob? I recall TSOM was among the very first home video tape of a complete theatrical film on BETA at the time when VHS was not yet introduced. The movie was panned and scanned and I was one of the 'suckers' who paid almost a hundred...

Eric, After checking the laserdisc and the DVD, you are correct, they also did not have the exit music but I am almost positive, the theatrical presentation did. It was soooo long ago but I recall all of the road shows I have seen did have them because I used to listen to them before...

I have seen THE SOUND OF MUSIC many time starting with the 70mm theatrical showing when it was first released and it has been one of my favorite movies all these years. I still have the deluxe laserdisc set as well as the 40th anniversary DVD and the new Blu-ray release comes the closest to...

I felt the same way Luis did when Warners announced a Similebox version of HOW THE WEST WAS WON was going to be a exclusive on Blu-Ray and Fox's decision of releasing the restored special edition of THE ROBE in that format only. I wanted HTWWW in Smilebox and THE ROBE so badly, I went out and...

My original copy of GREATEST ADVENTURE as well as the duplicate Warners sent me instead of HIDDEN JUNGLE were fine and I had no problem with it when I watched it in it's entirety. My copy of LOST SAFARI however was defective with the same surface defect others reported with their GREATEST...

I saw this film during it's first run in scope in a theatre and again in widescreen on a United Airlines DC-8 flight from Los Angeles to Honolulu many years ago when the airlines were using 16mm films for their inflight movie service instead of video tape. Yes, I agree Universal should do it...

When I called customer service this morning and told them they had shipped two copies of GREATEST ADVENTURE and I wanted HIDDEN JUNGLE instead of the duplicate, the nice lady immediately put the order through and and gave me a confirmation number and said the disc will be shipped within three...

I received my Gorgon Scott Tarzan DVDs yesterday after all. It was delivered by another mailman about two hours later after my regular carrier made his rounds on my street. Except for the fact that they shipped two copies of TARZAN's GREATEST ADVENTURE and no TARZAN'S HIDDEN JUNGLE, I was very...

I called Warner customer service this morning when I did not get a shipping notice yesterday and I was told the discs was shipped last Friday. This is very odd because that was the exact day I was told I would get a shipping notice by yesterday (Monday) by email. As it had turned out, Warner...

They really must be having problem with TARZAN'S GREATEST ADVENTURE because my discs did not ship today as I was told it would. It has now been ten days since I had placed my order. Did anyone wait longer than me before you got a shipping notice for your Gordon Scott Tarzan discs? For those of...

I am now really confused about the Target exclusive of GWTW. I belong to the Film Tech Forum and there is a discussion about the Target BD being a two disc set instead of the a single disc everyone is reporting here. One of the members even posted a Target ad advertising it as a two disc. To...

Yes, the people at WB Archive customer service are wonderful. The nice lady I had talked to on Friday took the time to research my order and told me if there is no last minute problem, my Gordon Scott discs will be shipped tomorrow and I can expect the package by the week end. I hope I will not...
