    UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - The Alfred Hitchcock Classics Collection - Volume Two -- in 4k UHD

    A note from abroad: The European Vol. 2 sets I've seen have proper digibook packaging, so no glue issues. Some may find it a drawback that they don't come with download or streaming codes (personally I avoid further compression). As for the old BDs, I am among those who wouldn't have any use for...

    International BLU-RAY DISCS FROM GERMANY

    Paramount have brought out so many fine Blu-rays but this 9 Movie Western Collection is very disappointing. The packaging touts "full Blu-ray image quality", a claim that's simply too far off the mark and untrue. I got my copy, took a close look and had to initiate its return. The upshot is...

    THE LONG VOYAGE HOME

    European home video rights to this title are held by Studiocanal. They released The Long Voyage Home on Blu-ray both in Spain (last year, ASIN B01M24BH3Z) and in France (2015, ASIN B012E9VFLC). Apparently theirs is an older master. The generally positive review at...

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ The Bishop's Wife -- in Blu-ray

    Hi LeoA, she always does. I sent my query on 6 August 2015 and received her reply on 4 September (requesting a contact number for the courier service). To be honest, I don't think that four weeks is an undue amount of time. This is not a buyer/seller situation where speed leads to revenue, it's...

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ The Bishop's Wife -- in Blu-ray

    My request was granted in late September 2015, less than three months ago. So Warner Brothers are definitely still on the ball regarding this issue, they're just not actively pursuing a recall. In my view that's a reasonable and pragmatic approach. Last year a DVD from the outfit I work for...

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ The Bishop's Wife -- in Blu-ray

    Count me among the contented ones who had a defective disc and received a corrected replacement. I was needlessly worried for two reasons: I'd had the faulty one for quite a while without checking it, and being an international customer I was afraid of possible shipping cost (which I offered to...

    USHE Announcement: Alfred Hitchcock: The Masterpiece Collection (Blu-ray)

    In my case it's listed on both the static main menu and the pop-up menu (in the latter under "special features"). You see four columns, each with the respective features: BEHIND THE STORY – EXTRAS – TRAILERS – AUDIO The right-hand column lets you check "Music-only track" and there you are (avl...

    USHE Announcement: Alfred Hitchcock: The Masterpiece Collection (Blu-ray)

    As has been pointed out, the numerous mis-spellings and changed typography which Nick Wrigley spotted in his check disc of FRENZY were fixed before the release. You can see some of it on his blog http://enthusiasm.org/post/31104514441. One big big difference: the TOPAZ disc in the German box...

    USHE Announcement: Alfred Hitchcock: The Masterpiece Collection (Blu-ray)

    While my stance is very similar to yours, Yorkshire, two minor points carry great weight for me, especially with international orders (I'm in Germany): Firstly, I find it difficult to determine "the last minute" as pre-orders are usually filled before the street date and the advance is...
