    WHV Press Release: The Wizard of Oz 70th Anniversary UCE (DVD/Blu-ray)

    I was tempted to buy this at first, but after reading all of your comments I have to agree about the extra junk. This a no-sale for me.

    Any new news on the Seven Year Itch? After all, it's coming out in two more weeks and I have been counting down the days.

    DVD Review HTF DVD REVIEW: Vertigo Special Edition - Highly Recommended

    I still don't see why they didn't just release this on Blu-ray. After seeing what an HD transfer of Vertigo looks like I can't settle for anything less. See for yourself... Flickr: Search

    Blu-ray Review HTF BLU-RAY REVIEW: Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas: Collector's Edition

    After having seen this update (EXCL: The Nightmare Before Christmas Bonus Clip & Photos! - ComingSoon.net) and seeing extra behind the scenes footage (such as an interview with the guy who did the voice of Oogie Boogie), I was led to believe that these would be included on the new release. But...

    Has anyone seen a movie that uses the "Real 3D" process?

    I think you are refering to Real D technology. As far as I know its never been called Real 3d. I work as a projectionist at a theater that has a 3d screen, and I have seen all of the 3D films since The Nightmare Before Christmas. I don't know how to compare it to older 3D films (since I...

    Does the Vertigo DVD represent the restoration accurately?

    Sorry no Rear Window Screencaps, but I was able to find a few more for "Vertigo" and "Family Plot" in 1080p. The detail is incredible, especially in the wallpaper at Ernie's. Flickr: Search Dave & Bry's photostream Be sure to view in original size.

    Does the Vertigo DVD represent the restoration accurately?

    I have provided screen-caps of both DVD verisons and a 720p version for comparison. The difference is quite clear. It's the last post on the first page of this link. Alfred Hitchcock Wiki Forum :: View topic - Hitchcock on HD DVD? It is posted under my same user name.

    HTF CD Review: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

    I have to dissagree in regards to this soundtrack. While its better than most it hardly deserves comparison to the scores for the original three movies. Compare the theme for the crystal skull with the theme for the ark. "Miracle of the Ark" is one of the most memorable songs in movie...

    What Paramount Universal and DreamWorks titles are you waiting for to go Blu?

    Vertigo is also the one I am most looking forward to. After seeing how well it looked in 720p, I can't begin to image how beautiful 1080p will be (can we also get more bonus features on this?).

    Will there be another "Vertigo" release soon?

    You could always speed up McNeely's tracks on a pc (some programs will let you do it without changing the pitch). On a future release of Vertigo, I think they should do a digital restoration. Don't gt me wrong though, I have seen the 70mm restoration done by Mr. Harris in 1996 (and it is...

    Alright, when are we going to see this one in HD. Anyone have a clue? It seems to me to be the perfect cantidate.

    Will there be another "Vertigo" release soon?

    I have been putting off buying the Hitchcock set for one reason... I want it in Hi-Def. It will be just my luck when they announce that it wont be out for quite a few more years. I love Vertigo to death, but this has lead to me watching too many times, maybe it's best if I wait.

    The rest of Universals '07 slate...no Hitchcock?

    What do you suppose the chances are of other studios releasing Hitchcock titles in HD. If we don't get the Universal line-up, it would be nice to get something like North By Northwest in HD (possibly in BR?)

    A Few Words About A few words about... the image and audio restoration of "Vertigo" and DVD

    The Hollywood Bar & Filmworks has unfortunately closed now, but that's interesting that you were able see Hedren. People don't get a lot of chances to meet Hitchcock's collaborators. Kim Novak made an appearance at Hollywood’s Egyptian Theater in 2004 during a Vertigo screening, but I doubt she...

    A Few Words About A few words about... the image and audio restoration of "Vertigo" and DVD

    I first saw the movie in it's restored form and wouldn't have it any other way. I tried to go back and listen to the original mono track, but it just couldn't compare to the image. I was finally able to see it in 70mm here in Los Angeles, and I couldn't help but notice how beautiful it sounded...

    Do you ever become obsessed with famous dead people?

    I became interested in Ernie Kovaks after finding out the details of his short life, but I wouldn't say I was obsessed.

    Any info on Hitchcock's Psycho DVD in Sept?

    I was comparing frames between Vertigo's single and anamorphic release and noticed that the color is more vibrant. Did it receive any additional work besides the anamorphic upgrade, or was this just a by-product.

    Any info on Hitchcock's Psycho DVD in Sept?

    Does any one know if there was a difference in quality for the "To Kill A Mockingbird" legacy edition compared to the collectors edition? All I know for sure is that it got a boost in bonus features.

    Any info on Hitchcock's Psycho DVD in Sept?

    While I enjoyed the special features in 'Vertigo', it didn't get the attention that it deserved. While many of the Hitchcock DVDs got brand new features, Vertigo re-used an older AMC documentary (that focuses heavily on the restoration). I would hope that if they did do a 'Vertigo' legacy, they...

    A Conversation with Universal Studios Home Entertainment

    Any news on the Hitchcock HD DVDs yet? So far I have only heard that Psycho is going to be released.
