Night Passage -- definitely.

I wish it were just a matter of plugging in a black box to make 3D active on contemporary 4K screens. I don't know how much longer my aging 2K LG OLED panel will last. HUGO is film-making at its best -- an excellent film, handsomely crafted with a great story, rich character development, and...

I'm really impressed by the epic quality of this ad. On the far left, I thought maybe that was Gable on the raft, then I thought that was Gable on the far right holding onto to his hat. Then I thought I'd look up Dan Smith and found he got around--very impressive.

I don't know Ncuti Gatwa -- I trust RTD picked an excellent actor and I hope Gatwa gets good material to work with. BBC's brought back RTD, ok, but how about bringing back Murray Gold? I miss his main title and his orchestral/choral scoring which gave us a sense of adventure and excitement...

In the small comments section at the bottom of that page, a Jeffrey Wells retort is uncharitably caustic.

Since Amazon bought MGM, any insider guesses as to whether or not the new owners will undertake a reconstruction/restoration of The Alamo's original length?

There are new 70mm prints of LORD JIM? When did this happen? I first saw BARABBAS in grade school when I projected a 16mm print for school viewing. The only thing I recall was being impressed by the opening scenes. The rest, not so much. Sixty years later, I may have changed my mind. I'd hve to...

Fresh OCN scans, please. WAC-like treatment desired. 7 Men from Now (Randolph Scott/Budd Boetticher) The Alamo (John Wayne) Lord Jim (Peter O'Toole, Richard Brooks) El Cid (Charlton Heston, Anthony Mann) The Fall of the Roman Empire (Sophia Loren, Anthony Mann) Hondo/3D (John Wayne, John...

Film buff Paul Allen graciously funded a multi-million restoration of that facility. Currently, the Seattle CINERAMA is in suspended covid hiatus.

Maybe we could continue this thread. Others may have the same issue. I've been trying to come up with the name of a film I saw in the early 60s. Name That Film #2. It was a B&W film, maybe widescreen. The protagonist is a young, maybe teenage, girl. As the film opens, she's running through a...

PLEASE Warner Archive -- keep spoiling us with these beautiful Technicolor remasters -- we're buying! (psst -- Please consider repossessing/remastering Budd Boetticher/Randolph Scott's 7 Men from Now -- Thanks)

The Cardinal star (remarkable Moross score) -- Tom Tryon -- also starred in Disney's little comedy Moon Pilot. I would love to see Preminger's BIG film restored on Blu-ray or 4K.

Cellulitis is nasty stuff -- if left unchecked it can kill you. Early common symptoms include swollen reddish skin and a fever -- that's just starters. My partner's been through this. You do not want to go there. It can easily be treated early on with a regimen of prescribed antibiotics. And if...

Hondo -- Stranger Wore a Gun -- !?

Warner Archive sets an eviable standard in Blu-ray releases. My order arrived last week. Just watched my copy of The Harvey Girls last night and must say it looks and sound brilliant! Thank you WA!

Watched this last night for the first time on Blu-ray -- very impressive! A non-war war film. Totally character driven. Stellar performance by Cagney. Very high image quality.

Barring, of course, the discovery of another pristine 70mm roadshow print in Canada (or elsewhere) -- not holding my breath. Darn.

I loved Cinerama. My first experience was back in high school days when we all marched over to the RKO Cinerama Theater in beautiful downtown Columbus, Ohio, to a special screening of The Wonderful Word of the Brothers Grimm in its jaw-dropping, three-strip, surround sound glory. The last I saw...

Interesting article from Hollywood Poster Frames regarding framing, plexiglass, foamcore: Protecting Your Investment

I'll say this for Mill Creek -- they have a better cover graphic than the Universal release. I've never seen the film but Wayne, at the very least, is entertaining. (No comments about The Conqueror, thank you.) (Now, someone, please -- bring on Circus World, which I haven't seen since its...

The Tall T -- Randolph Scott -- “C’mon now, it’s gonna be a nice day.”

My dearest friend passed away 12/20/2020 from complications associated with ovarian cancer. These two songs remind me of her. We Have All the Time in the World / Louis Armstrong Into the West / Annie Lenox

The Young and Prodigious T.S. Spivet -- Brilliant film! I've a host of others I love to watch (see also: The Taking of Tiger Mountain) but Spivet is an immersive and delightful choice and haven't seen it listed above. I love my LG OLED passive 3D set and will scan the local Craigslist for a...

Brilliant!

Doris -- Fabulous -- OLE!

Great cast. Sad story. Well told. Didn't know this was available on Blu-ray. And classic Saul Bass opening credits. There should be an Oscar category for opening credit sequences.

I thought of the snappers as more ecological alternatives to my sea of plastic cases. As The Buggles sang years ago, we are living in The Plastic Age. My 40ish son looks at my video collections and shakes his head ...

And I always thought that originated in "To Have and Have Not".
