    UHD Review Event Horizon UHD Review

    Was anyone able to actually find this release? None of the physical stores have it and every online store was sold out on release day. Prices after market are already triple retail.

    UHD Review Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory UHD Review

    Another poster posted this in the RAH thread about this film. I think it helped me understand the framing issues from the previous BD and how the UHD release is probably more like the intended framing than the BD was.

    UHD Review Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory UHD Review

    In the screenshots in M. Enois Duarte's review on HighDefDigest suggest a dramatic shift in framing from the 2009 BD to the current UHD. Do we know what the intended theatrical framing might have been from previous home video releases or is this something that was left up to projectionists...

    Lord of War: 2-Disc Special Edition 1/17

    On my 2 Disc set, yes.

    Lord of War: 2-Disc Special Edition 1/17

    Agreed. That's why I waited till now to pick up the revised version. I just find it interesting how this movie was composed. With an anamorphic lens the only composition would be the right image.

    Lord of War: 2-Disc Special Edition 1/17

    I just picked up the new disc with the scope tranfer. Since this was shot Super35, in some scenes on the "revised" transfer there's more image available and in others there's less. In the first image, the new DVD (lighter) actually has less image than the old 1.78:1 DVD (darker) In...

    It comes with a DVI cable and power cable. You shouldn't need anything more.

    Jarhead 2-disc OOP Already!

    Reminds me of the whole Shawhank Limited fiasco. That disc was OOP shortly after its release.

    Do you invariably associate a studio logo/theme with a particular movie?

    For me, the Columbia logo reminds me of Ghostbusters.

    DVD Security Tape is a Nightmare!

    I've damaged too many Amaray cases to mention doing this. It doesn't hurt as much when it happens with one of the now standard el-cheapo keep cases because I promise myself I'm going to replace it with an Amaray even though I never do. :frowning:

    Lord of War: 2-Disc Special Edition 1/17

    I'm glad I waited for this. If true, it's the best news of the day. :D

    Macrovision plugs the "digital hole"

    I heartily agree. DVDs are the biggest cash cows the studios have. In order to wring a few more dollars out of it, this new copy protection scheme is likely to make our lives more difficult as evidenced by "copy-protected CDs" getting stuck in certain slot-load drives of PCs because they're not...

    Hoosiers, Graduate, Spaceballs, Leone SEs in 2005

    I can't wait for these to be released. I waited for years wondering how MGM could release Spaceballs and the Graduate as non-anamorphic, esp. the Graduate since it's a classic. Perhaps it's true, Good things come to those who wait :) (and all the while you're getting older)

    The Incredibles 2-Disc Collector's Edition: Easter 2005!

    I loved this movie and can't wait til easter. I, too am anxious to see whether we get a 2 disc SE full of "vaporware" extras, like Nemo :frowning:, or something we can covet, like A Bug's Life Collectors Edition :). I tend to think that if Disney has more of a say in the DVD process, we will get...

    Frasier Final Season not in widescreen?!!

    The problem was it looked really good in widescreen, especially the last season. Watching it on my widescreen set, it will always feel that I'm missing out on something with those big empty spaces on the sides, especially since widescreen was how I first experienced it. A fullscreen/widescreen...

    Frasier Final Season not in widescreen?!!

    Despite announcements by DVDFile and others sources, including a discussion in another HTF thread (can't link to it-forum rules), Frasier's final season set is not in widescreen! Even though the last two seasons were filmed in HD, why did Paramount in its infinite wisdom choose to not release...

    DVD Review HTF Review: Love Actually - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! MUST SEE!

    I completely agree with Ron. This was my one of my favorite films of last year. Some may categorize it as a "chick flick," but I really enjoyed it and am really glad they didn't wait until Christmas to release the disc. I just wish there were more extras. Sigh. Also, it's mentioned in the...

    Ghostbusters Special Edition (Merged)?

    In the new issue of Premiere Magazine, it mentions that a 20th Aniversary edition of Ghostbusters will be available in October from Columbia Home Video. As much as I hate double dipping, I would gladly do so on this title. Hope the new features, if any, are substantial and does not follow the...
