    UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - Train to Busan -- in 4k UHD

    A lot of praise for this film among horror fans, of which I am one, but it was one and done for me. Every zombie film that cops the end of "Night of the Living Dead" gets a demerit.

    Only RAH could manage to sneak Lee Marvin into a review of this middling film.

    Blu-ray Review A Few Words About A few words about…™ The Last Tycoon – in Blu-ray

    Orson Welles on Elia Kazan: “He is a man who sold to McCarthy all his companions at a time when he could continue to work in New York at high salary. And having sold all of his people to McCarthy, he then made a film called On the Waterfront which was a celebration of the informer. And...

    UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - The Abyss -- in 4k UHD

    My copy came from amazon today. I remember enjoying the film despite the preposterous moment when it really jumped the shark (for me) when Did I miss something? How is something like that even remotely possible? Seems like typical Cameron's typical weak screenwriting to me. Other opinions...

    One From the Heart: Reprise 4K UHD

    Hit my mailbox today. Spinning the disc tonight. Saw this film on the first day it played Radio City Music Hall. Beautiful to watch.

    A few words about...™ - All That Money Can Buy -- in Blu-ray

    Mr. Harris, the apostrophe police are on your trail! :) "own's" is neither a contraction nor a possessive.

    The Terminal Man (1974)

    I remember reading the novel before seeing the film, and admiring the former while yawning during the latter.

    UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - Aliens -- in 4k UHD

    I well remember watching the laser disc of Aliens in horror. You could barely see the actors for the grain. Looking forward to this.

    Press Release Scream Factory Press Release: The Island of Dr. Moreau (1996) Collector's Edition (Blu-ray)

    It's fun to play "spot Brando's double" on this film. Any time you don't see Brando's face, it's not him.

    The Fall Guy (2024)

    Excellent chemistry between both stars on a hot streak in the trailer

    Review of the Tim Burton "Planet of the Apes" film (2001) on Blu-ray & my take on the ending

    First: Mark Wahlberg? Big dumb hole at the center of the film. Two: I'll take "Big Fish" any day.

    Did Robinson ever give a bad performance? I can't name one.

    Argylle (2024)

    The most recent trailer was certainly more promising than the earlier ones. I'll bite.

    Madame Web (2024)

    When your star is not hiding her negative feelings about her film before it comes out, you are in trouble (Sony).

    UHD Review A Few Words About About A few words about...™ - Conan the Barbarian & Conan the Destroyer -- in 4k UHD

    These were one and done in the theater for me. I am mystified by their ongoing appeal.

    Netflix Leave the World Behind (2023)

    An incredibly tedious film.

    The Holdovers (2023)

    A very fine piece of cinema with ace work from Giamatti. The film stays with you.

    A few words about...™ - Staying Alive -- in 4k UHD

    It would make a good double bill with Exorcist: Believer because then my nap would be almost four hours long!

    Godzilla: Minus One (2023)

    Godzilla Minus One really feels like it's in the same universe as the original. Saw it last night in a full(!) theater. Great all around. Puts Shin Godzilla to shame. It helps to understand a bit about Japanese culture so the characters' behaviors make sense. I'd love to see this in black and...

    The Holdovers (2023) blu-ray

    Beautiful film. And, yeah, it looks just like that tired '70s prints I used to see as a teen.

    Rumpole of the Bailey TV Series on Blu Ray...when?!!

    That blu of Quartermass and the Pit shown above is miles ahead of any other presentation, and in my opinion as good or better than the film. Andre Morrell is a superb Bernard Quartermass.

    Rumpole of the Bailey TV Series on Blu Ray...when?!!

    A tragedy Rumpole won't receive a restoration and release on blu-ray. The series embodies much great humanity, and it is McKern's finest hour.

    UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ The Exorcist: Believer -- in 4k UHD Blu-ray

    Mr. Green has become a very bad filmmaker. Halloween 2 and 3 were truly abysmal. Exorcist is terrible. We can take bets on his next film.

    One From the Heart: Reprise 4K UHD

    I recall seeing "One from the Heart" when it opened at Radio City Music Hall in New York. After it ended, I pondered its problems. The thing that struck me immediately was that all four leading characters were unlikable, which made it hard to like the film.

    Captain America: Brave New World (2025)

    With a film in this much turmoil, they will do anything, and spend any amount of money, to try and fix it. The only actor Marvel has stated is never coming back is Robert Downey, Jr.
