    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Solomon and Sheba -- in Blu-ray

    I watch these epics via my Madrigal MP9 CRT projector, Lumagen and HD Fury processed, (system hand tweaked by Craig Rounds of Chicago) onto 128" wide screen. This is a close to film as you are going to get at home in my opinion/experience. "55 Days" looks profoundly "right" to me, juxtaposed...

    FALL ROMAN EMPIRE / EL CID BLU-RAY

    German Carthage in Flames is very soft and color faded. Shame really as I believe the costume designs were done by Veniero Colasanti the year before El Cid, but they, and the sets, although elaborate, are impossible to evaluate due to the soft transfer. Two massive ships engage in a vigorous...

    FALL ROMAN EMPIRE / EL CID BLU-RAY

    Let's not rule out a possible 2.76:1 Bluray release of "Fall of the Roman Empire." There are now two bluray versions of Zulu and last year there was a London theatrical presentation of yet another "restored" version...perhaps that too will show up on Bluray. So why not another FOTRE at some...

    "Take your sword in your hand and stick it, not in a Pole, but whoever at Kino is responsible for releasing Taras Bulba with Waxman's magnificent score in mono!"

    "The Alamo"s Status?

    The Alamo (Roadshow version) is to be shown in Germany this fall, 70mm but in German. If this print is in good shape, could not the English soundtrack be married to it for preservation and Bluray release? I believe I read the Robert Harris has supervised a preservation of the audio already. If...

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Moonrise Kingdom -- in Blu-ray

    Watching this at a local indie was agony. Gormless lead people stumbling around clueless in a from one ridiculous situation to another. The artistic pretentiousness was laid on with a trowel. One might suspect that people who like it must also carry that lobotomized look and atmosphere about...
