    Fox/Lorber's Ran?

    Unfortunatley, no, I don't work for Wellspring or any other studio. But I do have friends who work at other, rival studios who find the whole furor over Wellspring quite funny. When everyone says it would require no effort to have made the transfer, what everyone fails to realize is that it...

    Kurosawa documentary DVD - any good ?

    I mean no disrespect to anyone in the forum, maybe I just don't understand. It just seems to me that everyone here is so focused on negatives and would rather moan about something than appreciate it. Do you see any other company willing to put out this title? No, becaue the profit margin is...

    Fox/Lorber's Ran?

    I don't understand the bellyaching about the KUROSAWA doc. It was shot in HD for TELEVISION! This was not a feature film, it was a TV program for PBS. We're lucky they shot it on HD. Once again...this was shown on TV!! I agree and understnad the complaints about Wellspring's DVDs when it is...

    Akira Kurosawa's RAN - Masterworks Edition (street date: September 9th, 2002)

    Agree..the YI YI DVD is crap....and no, I haven't done a side by side comparison of THE 400 BLOWS. Obviously most everyone here is pretty knowledgeable so I as a relative newbie will take your word for it. In the meantime, I'll continue to tell you guys what I learn from the people I know who...

    Akira Kurosawa's RAN - Masterworks Edition (street date: September 9th, 2002)

    I fell like "Deep Throat"; I have very, very reliable sources within the Wellspring circle (see my earlier post about the deal with Criterion http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htfo...=&pagenumber=2) and from what they tell me they really are trying to upgrade their releases on DVD. As for...

    Criterion will start releasing Wellspring (Winstar) library!

    Also should have mentioned after reading through the posts that we should be careful about what we hear from Anchor Bay; they claim to have rights to movies when they actually are only in negotiating stages. They at one time recently posted they had acquired the rights to RAN but the rights had...

    The Killer and Hard Boiled were not part of the package to Criterion. I have info from a VERY reliable source that MIRAMAX has licensed all rights from wellspring.
