Looks like another long awaited UHD winner from Arrow UK. The specs and features are great. If there’s no US release, I’ll definitely import. UK street date is July 19th for ‘True Romance’. Here’s the post from Blu-ray.com https://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=28522

When Blu-ray was introduced, I expected big things from the concert genre, since the format seems a natural fit. But it seems to me that there were comparatively more and better releases during the DVD era. What happened, or was I expecting too much? Seems that in addition to the usual trials in...

Perhaps responses here can help me to better understand the differences between what's deemed worth distributing in Europe, as opposed to being not "market worthy", or whatever you want to call it, in the U.S. A particular difference that comes to mind is 3D titles, but also Blu-ray as a whole...

Greetings, I'm wondering if you've considered showing the pertinent remarks themselves, in the body of email notifications. I'd love being able to read the remarks without clicking a link that opens a new window and takes me to the forum, whether I want to or not. My strong preference is for a...

I hope you'll forgive if this is inquiry is heard too often, but a brief search turned up little if anything. Are there any substantial rumors about The Curse of the Were-Rabbit coming to Blu-ray? I'm a certified stop-motion freak, and would love to have this title above all others in its...

The topic spells out an issue that I find especially annoying, and I hope that knowledgable people can give answers that at least inform my aggravation. I recently watched Darren Aronofsky's 'The Fountain', and the milky black levels were pronounced enough to be distracting. There are many...

I found this one for a very good price and took the leap. I'm not at all happy with the transfer. To say that skin tones are a bit rosy is an understatement. There's too much red in the entire run, along with murkiness and lack of detail. Substantial disappointment, even for the low price.

Fresh from a post at High-Def Digest, Polanski's 'Chinatown' will arrive 04/03/12. Link below. http://www.highdefdigest.com/news/show/Disc_Announcements/Paramount/Chinatown_Dated_for_Blu-ray_/8482

A quick search here didn't show anything. Do any of you have knowledge of a "Coen Brothers Collection", showing an Amazon release date of August 30th? The product screen is bare bones and completely faulty, showing a disc count of "1". They're also showing 'Miller's Crossing' with an...

According to High-Def Digest, five catalogue titles from Fox/MGM/UA will be re-released in Digibook on May 10th. Interesting selection, with at least a couple of them bound to raise questions about re-mastering. They include 'Patton', 'The Usual Suspects', 'Rocky', 'The Terminator', and 'Master...

Here's a link to an article about the plans Netflix has for steering customers away from discs. The article only mentions DVD's specifically, but the implication is for all physical media, I'm sure. With these kinds of policies by mass purchasers of discs, and the already obvious shelf space...

Though there hasn't been an official press release, according to High-Def Digest 'Rob Roy' will release in BD on January 11th. For a long-time fan of this title, such news is music to the ears. Being a FOX/MGM title, I'm hoping for a stellar transfer that does justice to Scottish Highlands and...

I'm wondering if any HTF members have watched Roland Joffe's 'The Mission', which is for the time being an Amazon exclusive offering. The only review I've seen online is from Blu-ray.com and it's written by an individual reviewer I'm not familiar with, and some of the wording leaves me suspect...

Looks like 'The Player' will arrive in BD on September 7th. No specs yet. This is one of my all-times faves. Hope they do it right. http://www.highdefdigest.com/news/show/Disc_Announcements/New_Line_Cinema/The_Player_Dated_for_Blu-ray/4712

Per High-Def Digest, Netflix has signed an additional deal with Fox and Universal, to add their BD releases to the 28-day delay program. Deal gives Netflix added streaming content. Link, below...

I don't always agree with reviews at DVD Beaver, but this time there seems little room for doubt, given the nature of the material. Their review is up for 'Toy Story', with a good selection of screen caps, and they look stunning. The color might seem a bit warm in a couple of shots; maybe not...

Well, here goes...I have a history of redundant posting, but a quick check shows nothing. Looks like 'Gangs of New York' will get a makeover, releasing on February 2nd. Follow the link. EDIT: Never damn mind, the link isn't working. No more posts for me. It's listed at High-def Digest, if you...

Per High-Def Digest. Not sure how I feel about this, after all, it's arriving via Lionsgate. Sounds quite ambitious, with plenty of bonus features and a 20-page booklet. There's plenty of time to feel anxious about it. Perhaps Studio+Canal will help see this through to satisfaction...

Good news for all us Leon fans. It appears that we'll be treated to both theatrical and extended cuts. Unless they muck it up, I'm all in. http://www.highdefdigest.com/news/show/Sony/Disc_Announcements/Léon:_The_Professional_Targets_Blu-ray/3391

It appears that 'Fight Club' will arrive on November 17th, according to this link from High-Def Digest. No specs, and no actual press release yet, but HDD has a good track record for accuracy in their early announcements. I'm all the way onboard, shy of their really botching-up the potential...

My Samsung BD-P1400 will NOT play 'Ghost Busters'. Anybody else had this problem? There have been several reports about this issue over at AVS, and the behavior is identical. FW is up to date. The disc loads, to the point that the disc is recognized, via the front panel as a "BD", "1080p"...

According to the fine folks at HDD, the Monkeys that are twelve in number, will arrive July 28. One less HD DVD make-up title to wonder about. '12 Monkeys' Will Swing Onto Blu-ray this July | High-Def Digest

According to HDD, 'Watchmen' will be coming to BD day and date with the DVD. One catch: only the Director's Cut will come on BD, which is 25 minutes longer than the theatrical release. Warner Announces 'Watchmen' Blu-ray | High-Def Digest

High-Def Digest is proclaiming a July 14 release date for 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon', but...possibly available only as part of a 3-title set. No confirmation yet about stand-alone status, but I must admit wanting the other two titles as well. Check it out. Sony Bundles Up 'Crouching...

Here they are, from every HTF'ers 2nd favorite web site. :crazy: I know about the misleading nature of screen caps, but the comparison shots from the SD are promising. Fargo Blu-ray Steve Buscemi William H. Macy Frances McDormand EDIT: After looking again, on my bigger and better home...

It appears that importing BD's is becoming increasingly common, what with Amazon (U.S.) and others now offering such titles for sale. The domestic option can be very appealing, so far as simplifying returns, and will likely increase impulse purchases. I've ordered a few imports in the past...

Looks like a 5-disc set of the Batman movies, 1989-1997. No news on stand alones. Times are tough. Where's the love? Batman 'Anthology' Announced for Blu-ray | High-Def Digest

Great news for all us Capote fans. Sony has announced a February 17 release date for a bundled release of 'Capote', starring Philip Seymour Hoffman, and the 1967 classic 'In Cold Blood' starring Robert Blake and Scott Wilson. I don't ordinarily like package offerings, but both of these...
