You’d likely want to pick one where each channel’s volume can be adjusted, as well as being able to adjust the bass/treble — or at least a setting that is intended to improve speech. I used to have a Vizio 5.1 sound bar where this could be done (affordable, sounded good when it worked). I have a...
You’d probably want to email Kino, as I really don’t know. I’ve had the bds for a few years (or whenever they came out).
EDIT: I take it back. The one on their site shows the Horizon one. I imagine you’ll receive the right edition...
There’s some differences between the covers of the two versions. One names Horizon as the company and the other as Kino. The Horizon edition is the fixed bd.
Now, it you really wanna punish yourself, Modern Harmonic, Something Weird Video and The Film Detective joined forces to release a green...
I once worked at a mental health center where an employee picked out THE SNAKE PIT as the movie for the day program clients to watch one day. The employee didn’t know how traumatic it would end up being for the clients to watch. Whoops!
My apologies if this has been posted, my search didn’t turn anything up...
I was at Best Buy for a minute last night and noticed a standee with a bunch of 3D bds on sale for $9.99. Your stores’ selection may vary. Here’s what’s on their site...
Sound bar question (yes, I know which forum I'm at...): has anyone here upgraded from Vizio's sb3621n-e8 or sb3621n-f8m to one of their 5.1 sound bars (such as sb3651-f6). If so, how well do their satellite speakers work? Do they add a worthwhile surround improvement? And are the sound bar and...
I imagine the only other set that this might come close to would be the Herschell Gordon Lewis boxset from Arrow. I bet HG never would’ve dreamt some Swede would dare try to have his cinematic output held up to his...
The first film is excellent. Intense and unrelenting. The opening really takes its time to set things up, but it makes you wonder what’s happening and gets the viewer to really identify with the main characters. Then it becomes a real rollercoaster that doesn’t let up til the end credits. It is...
I’ve asked Network about the runtime and if it’s completely uncut this time, but the response was along the lines of “keep an eye on the listing on our site.”
FACES OF DEATH has an excellent, enlightening commentary from the director. One of the very best I’ve ever heard — truly.
Any commentary with Larry Cohen is also top-notch. A real lesson in filmmaking any time he speaks.
I wasn’t pissed off at Severin over this. Disappointed in the main transfer, yeah. But I’m familiar with their releases, got plenty of their dvds and bds. They range from being excellent to a bit problematic. It’s always been best to have low expectations, that way you end up being happy when...
