    Perfume: The Story of a Murderer UHD

    For those who think they can't watch another one of these bombastic Hollywood super hero/action films, silly comedies or overblown fantasy orgies on UHD, and that there are not nearly enough substantial films out there here's a potential alternative for the cinéphile with a "refined" taste and...

    International The Comfort of Strangers

    This Paul Schrader film is now available on Blu Ray, but only in Germany. I fell in love with the score back then and had to check this out. The film is very dark, and morbid. Even more so now that the leading lady has passed prematurely. Not a blind buy at all even if the tech specs were...

    La double vie de Véronique BD

    has been released in UK at bargain price. Bargain price BDs can be just fine or nasty rip offs. There are companies who upscale DVD masters (or worse) to 1080p and sell them as low price BDs. And there are companies who sell technically dated but acceptable older HD transfers at attractive...

    Farinelli il castrato BD

    has been released in France. Is it worth picking up? I say yes if - you like the film - know French (no subtitles) - can play region B locked material - don't mind 4% PAL speed up (it's 1080i50 but deinterlaces correctly to 1080p50) 2 supplements, the better of which goes into a lot of detail...

    The Day the Earth Stood Still

    I watched the Blu Ray and I have some questions for you, Mr. Harris (and everybody else who has insight). The transfer seems to consist of basically two different kinds of shots. Shots with great clarity and sharpness that seem to have 1080p detail and shots that have more or less DVD resolution...

    Saawariya BD

    The first reference quality Bollywood BD is here: Saawariya! I'm not commenting on the film. Bollywood in general is not for everyone and Saawariya is controversial as well. Bhansali is often accused of style over substance, and Saawariya is no exception. But if you can focus on the style part...

    Danger, Will Robinson, Danger!

    http://www.companynewsgroup.com/comm...p?co_id=110490 I sincerely hope this technology is ignored by all studios dedicated to a quality product. It's as bad as overenhanced edges. How typical of claiming that this is to improve image quality when in reality it's all about lowering bitrates to...
