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

    I believe the included Blu-rays are the old transfers, as they all have the exact same menus as the 2012 Masterpiece Collection, and the Blu-ray discs all have a 2013 copyright, whereas the 4K discs have a 2023 copyright.

    Gay-Friendly Blu-rays

    I saw it when it first came out. Though I don't remember too much about the story, I do remember liking it at the time, and it was the first gay-themed picture I had ever seen in a movie theater. In addition to Rupert Everett, it also stars a very young Cary Elwes and Colin Firth. I've...

    I felt the same way when watching it on my 77" OLED from a distance of 14'. Though I could tell it was an older transfer, I thought it looked far better than it ever has on home video. I was completely happy with it.

    My Bogart box set arrived in California this morning! :banana: I'm debating whether or not to order their upcoming Universal set, as I already have 3 of the 6 titles from Kino.
