I have always loved Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy and wish someone would release their incredible play, "The Gin Game," directed by Mike Nichols, on DVD. It is an amazing play thanks to their incredible performances.
I saw "The Hobbit" today in IMAX 3D, but not in HFR. I don't know if it was deliberate or not, but it seemed like the studio may have done something to stick it to the GEEKS, by putting the 9-minute "Star Trek Into Darkness" preview in one IMAX theater in town and putting the HFR in a different...
I went to my Best Buy this morning to pick up the three exclusives, which now completes my entire Bond 22-movie series. I had the nine steelbook cases and didn't want to buy the box set and end up with duplicates, and also didn't want to get rid of my steelbooks, so I just bought all the...
The two different aspect ratios must be a typo. Both the 3D and 2D Blu-ray versions are 1.78, as is the previous Blu-ray Extended Edition. On the Extended Edition, the bitrate for the opening few minutes often bounces around in the high 30s, even going as high as 41.4 and rarely dipping below...
I picked up "I, Robot" on Blu-ray 3D today. I do not know what possessed them to put both the 3D and 2D versions of the movie on the same disc. The Blu-ray 2D version of the movie already exists, so why not just include the already pressed discs and leave the 3D version of the movie on a disc by...
Rob Reiner: This is Spinal Tap, Stand By Me, The Princess Bride, Misery, A Few Good Men, North, The American President, Ghosts of Mississippi, The Bucket List (2007) ... If he never makes another movie, that's a pretty impressive string. His legacy is quite secure, no matter what he does or...
Went to Wal-mart, Best Buy and Target today. Could not find this anywhere. I was hoping to get Best Buy to price match the Amazon price. Guess I'll have to order for Amazon. Hope they don't tear up the box.
My Wal-mart had them out last week when they put out the 50 box set. My Target had the strange pricing already posted, with "The Living Daylights" at $14.99. They also had a re-issue of "License to Kill" at $14.99, but the other two exclusives were both $9.99. Some store clerk told me it had to...
Since you were going to be offended by anyone pointing out your lack of follow-up or follow-through, exactly how should one have said that in order for you to not receive it as rude? Since it's voluntary, it's OK that it isn't up to par?
Does any Reviewer ever bother to proofread their reviews before posting them? This one is just filled with typos and incorrect information; mainly just sloppy writing that could have easily been fixed. Flipped release and review dates, 17:8 aspect ratios, etc. Show pride in your work.
I believe I can help you here. What you are seeing is not just a 4x3 image and black bars for negative space. You are seeing a 16x9 image filled with a 4x3 image and black bars on the sides. You cannot stretch the picture, because it is already 16x9. In effect, the 4x3 image is "Baked" onto the...
Having just this week bought a 65" Panasonic VT50, I already had the following 3D titles:
The Adventures of TinTin
Alice in Wonderland
Avatar
The Avengers
Beauty and the Beast
Cars 2
A Christmas Carol
Creature from the Black Lagoon
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1
Harry Potter and the...
Very disappointing that "The Color of Money," directed by Martin Scorsese, earned an academy award for Paul Newman, and also starring Tom Cruise, who is still a very big star, is touted as a "25th Anniversary Edition," but doesn't contain ONE SINGLE EXTRA.
At such a minor price point difference, it seems more likely that the single disc you picked up is simply sans DVD and Digital Copy. The slipcover on my Blu-ray/DVD/Digital Copy doesn't list any special features either, although the actual blu-ray case insert does.
This forum got me thinking about the Best and Worst Ridley Scott films. Please provide your own lists. These are my Top Eight BEST and Top Five WORST. 1. Alien 2. Blade Runner 3. Kingdom of Heaven: Director's Cut 4. Gladiator 5. American Gangster 6. Legend 7. Thelma and...
Putting Gladiator in the same category of G. I. Jane and Hannibal is absolutely ridiculous. If you don't think it deserved to win Best Picture, fine (I disagree), but it is certainly a helluva closer to the Alien/Blade Runner end of the spectrum than it is G. I. Jane and Hannibal.
While I absolutely LOVE Aliens and Blade Runner, to say that Ridley never achieved that level of filmmaking I simply must disagree with. I know that Gladiator has its detractors, but I think it's a marvelous film, and the Director's Cut of "Kingdom of Heaven" is an absolute masterpiece.
Has "Heavy Metal" on Blu-ray gone through any kind of clean up? The previous DVDs, including the Superbit, have always used a very dirty print. I was going to pick it up on release date regardless, but my city (Tulsa, Oklahoma) received record snowfall on Monday night and the snow is piled up 13...
While its themes can apply to all peoples of all ages, "The Color Purple" is about a certain time in African American history and a particular group of African Americans (though ficticious) representative of that time and culture. "The Color Purple" is a very important film, but to none moreso...
Saw this yesterday. Loved it. Thought it was excellent. There are a few things from the original I missed and would have liked to have seen here, such as the poker game between Rooster and the owner of the Chinese store, as well as John Wayne's line reading of "Fill your hand, you sonofabitch!"...
