    Blu-ray Review Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1931) Blu-ray Review

    I have read that the studio wanted Irving Pichel, but Mamoulian insisted on March.

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ The Quiet Man (Olive Signature) -- in Blu-ray

    You are correct. The real question is why the Olive Signature is OOP while the 2013 Olive (and MoC) are still readily available. This Spanish blu-ray is regions A, B and C. Fathom Events is showing The Quiet Man in theaters for a couple days, so maybe that means it'll come back in print soon...

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ The Quiet Man (Olive Signature) -- in Blu-ray

    Would anyone by chance know if this 2017 Spanish Blu-ray is the same transfer as the OOP (and *expensive*) Olive Signature disc? I suspect it is - it's got the same extras and is from around the same time. Any confirmation would be appreciated.

    Very interested in this. Remember seeing this in college and liking it quite a bit. And with the workprint included - ! Knew this was Cagney's final bow, but did not know about O'Brien.

    When Will New Ran Restoration Have a Region A Release ?

    Count me as another that would like the Ran restoration released to region A. Hopefully Criterion, as Brad1963 mentioned...

    When are manufacturer imperfections "acceptable" ?

    This is an edge-lit LED; aren't they supposed to be worse for screen uniformity? I assume you went for this model 'cause of the 3D - ?

    Blue fringe following moving figures when showing b/w movie on new LED TV

    Okay, let me ask another question: is there any way to go into the service menu and turn chroma completely off, so I'm just getting the b/w portion of the picture? Anybody know?

    Blue fringe following moving figures when showing b/w movie on new LED TV

    Adjusting the gamma setting didn't appear to make much difference. I adjusted the backlight down which *I think* did lessen the effect. Watched the Criterion ISLAND OF LOST SOULS and pretty much only noticed it on fast pans through the jungle, on the black trees. Can't believe no one else has...

    Blue fringe following moving figures when showing b/w movie on new LED TV

    After having a Vizio M55-D0 for about 10 days and deciding I couldn't stand the judder of 60hz and realizing I wasn't yet ready for 4K (it made DVDs literally look like VHS), I traded it in for a 1080P LED set. I got a Sony KDL60W630B/2 that RTNGS spoke fairly high of. Everything looks fine...

    blue fringing when playing b/w movies on new 1080P LED set

    Not sure this is the right forum for this, but since it pertains to my new display... After having a Vizio M50-D0 for about 10 days and deciding I couldn't stand the judder of 60hz and realizing I wasn't yet ready for 4K (it made DVDs literally look like VHS), I traded it in for a 1080P LED set...

    Blu-ray Review Gamera Trilogy Blu-ray Review

    There is a problem with the subs on Gamera 3. Some are incorrect, and some lines are not even subtitled. I've watched G3 on DVD (from the subtitled R2 box) quite a bit and am pretty familiar with the subtitles, and was disappointed in the errors on the Mill Creek blu-ray. The picture quality is...

    Star Trek films on Blu-Ray... what we know so far

    Is this the region-free blu of which you speak?: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Star-Trek-Picture-remastered-Blu-ray/dp/B002XISFGS/ref=sr_1_6?s=dvd&ie=UTF8&qid=1304998516&sr=1-6 I'd like to pick this up on HD, but don't really want any of the other films in the box-set.

    Metropolis on Blu Ray in 2010

    Man I hope this is region-free! The MoC Blu definitely looks to be the one to beat.

    HTF BluRay Review: The Thing

    Ya' gotta think with the prequel coming out soon that this will be getting another blu-ray release, like Predator. Let's hope the results are better than that fiasco!

    DVD Review HTF DVD Review: Gamera Vs. Barugon

    Watched my copy of Gamera vs. Barugan last night and was very pleased. A beautiful disc! And the movie, as Todd points out in his review, was a lot better than the first (no annoying kid for one thing). Would be terrific if Shout! could license the Heisei Gamera trilogy and release it on...

    A few thoughts about.....LET THE RIGHT ONE IN

    Considering that the UK edition is region-free, has the correct theatrical subs and an audio commentary with the director and novelist/screenwriter (absent on the US disc), I know which edition I'm picking up. Take that, Magnet...!

    Warner announces blu-ray titles for 2010

    Hopefully, when and if this gets released on Blu in the U.S., it'll have both theatrical (my preference) and director's cuts.

    Warner Archive Discussion Thread (FEEDBACK)

    (I posted this on Classic Horror Forum as well) I got Abe Lincoln in Illinois today and it's definitely an older transfer. The credits are incredibly window-boxed, meaning they're really protected for major CRT over-scan. Have only watched a few minutes on my computer monitor (had no trouble...

    Warner Archive Discussion Thread (FEEDBACK)

    Well said, John. I ordered two films I've been waiting to be released for a while (Abe Lincoln in Illinois and Too Hot to Handle). Those were worth 20 bucks each to me. I'm interested in some of the others (Adventures of Mark Twain, Doc Savage, a couple others) but not at 20 bucks a pop.

    Just a heads-up: the Digital Bits is reporting Magnet (the co. that released the DVD and Bluray) is coming out with another pressing that corrects the subs to as they were in the theatrical version. No exchange for those who've already purchased, however. Check out the Bits for details.
