    International Via Vision Entertainment announces new premium Blu-ray label IMPRINT

    Actually, that was the A&E *DVD* version (all editions, incl. 2009/final editn) --- although, as ScottRE said, two of the episodes remained in incorrect order.

    International Via Vision Entertainment announces new premium Blu-ray label IMPRINT

    THe big question is will the episodes be presented in the fan--preferred *chronological* order (or atleast a close approximation of this) or in the order of their original UK/Australian(?) airing? The Network Blu-ray releases had them in the UK broadcast order.. Don't know about the U.S. A&E...

    Films in which the opening theme or song bleeds into/plays over the opening studio logo(s)

    C Like I said previously, while this practice has been a thing throughout film history, it *truly* took off in the modern (1980-- ) era..

    Twilight Zone: The Movie

    Actually didn't know there was ever a magazine back in the show's heyday.. Will have to track down an issue or two.

    THE HITCHER Coming to UHD 4K Blu-ray from Second Sight!

    I'm sure you're right about the hardcore fans. I'm also (very) sure I wouldn't want/have wanted to cross paths with either Hauer or Bean's versions of "John Ryder" in real life.. :>]

    Films in which the opening theme or song bleeds into/plays over the opening studio logo(s)

    Can't believe I forgot about this one.. Great opening music.. I believe the Criterion editions begin with the orig. 70s logo.

    THE HITCHER Coming to UHD 4K Blu-ray from Second Sight!

    Hauer was awesome and the original remains a contemporary classic, but Sean Bean's take was no slouch either..

    RYAN’S DAUGHTER: Discussions for a BD Release (2015 - 2024)

    For a while, around 2010--2011, there was serious buzz about a high-budget sequel being produced in which Sarah Miles was to reprise her role. It obviously never happened and now Ms. Miles is long since retired. It would seem the best chance this film likely has (barring a sudden major...

    Films in which the opening theme or song bleeds into/plays over the opening studio logo(s)

    I agree they don't. Even the late-'80s --- 90s shield would be far better than what's currently there.

    Films in which the opening theme or song bleeds into/plays over the opening studio logo(s)

    Assuming no one has done such a list (I couldn't find one), how many films can you think of wherein the opening theme or song begins playing over the opening studio logo/s in place of the usual fanfare or silence (*Not counting those in which the logos' appearance is significantly altered or...

    Your thoughts on Kino-Lorber Blu-rays

    I'm hopeful the recent reissue of THE THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR ('68) on Blu-ray is selling well so that perhaps a 4k release might finally happen -- and if it does, I (+ I'm sure I speak for many) would really like to see the orig. late--'60s UnitedArtists opening logo restored to the film (the...

    Three's Company - The official 40th Anniversary Collection Coming December 22nd!

    I agree that would've been nice.. While every label is different, ofcourse, there are major/ higher--end publishers that won't put subtitles or CC on *ANY* of their bonus features (incl. full-length alternate versions of films), so it sadly seems unlikely a low/mid--range label like VEI would do...

    UHD Review Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory UHD Review

    Wish they would issue this transfer on Blu ray for those of us who have yet to go 4k

    Godzilla: Minus One (2023)

    It would be nice if Criterion finally released some more of the older Godzilla +/or other kaiju films they're sitting on to coincide with this..

    Four Beatles movies directed by Sam Mendes

    I know four films I *definitely* would be interested in seeing --- on 4k UHD (or atleast 4k--remastered on Blu ray), that is: Help!, Yellow Submarine, Magical Mustery Tour, and Let It Be!

    James Bond 007 soundtracks - Golden Gun, Spy, Moonraker, View To a Kill & Octopussy

    These are the ones from "over 30 years ago" I was referring to. I believe the laserdisc versions of that era used the same artwork.

    James Bond 007 soundtracks - Golden Gun, Spy, Moonraker, View To a Kill & Octopussy

    There has yet to be a DVD, Blu ray or UHD release that uses the original poster artwork as cover art (at least in North America). In fact, the last time such artwork was used for any home video release of the Bond films -- not counting P. Brosnan and D. Craig films -- was over *30* years ago...

    James Bond 007 soundtracks - Golden Gun, Spy, Moonraker, View To a Kill & Octopussy

    Assuming you refer to the "Octopussy" Rykodisc cover, that is the same artwork which adorned the 1996 "James Bond Collection" VHS and laserdisc editions of the films (which would be the final editions of the Bond series for both formats).. MGM/UA later adapted the "JBC" cover art designs for DVD...

    The Complete Lone Ranger on DVD?

    If nothing else, the two '50s theatrical films (which are included in that set) "The Lone Ranger" and "The Lone Ranger & the Lost City of Gold" starrng Moore and Silverheels really should get a restoration and Blu ray release. As both Classic Media and rights to The Lone Ranger franchise itself...

    Conan the Barbarian (1982) 4K Arrow Release Discussion

    If Arnold ever manages to get his "King Conan" film made, there ought to be a scene early or semi-early in the new movie that mirrors Thulsa Doom's intro scene from the first film -- in this case it would be Conan's entrance -- as a little hat tip to CTB cinematographer the late Duke Callaghan...

    Pre-Order The Lion In Winter (1968) (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    Was hoping The Lion In Winter would get a UHD release (ideally via Kino) by its 55th annivrsary last year, but I realise now an all--new scan if not an extensive restoration may be needed for that to happen.

    Hoping for a decent month this time! There are so many great films out there whose only/best hope for a quality HD or 4k physical release is Criterion.

    Blu-ray Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - Columbo The 1970s-- in Blu-ray

    I don't own the book so I didn't know it was 400+ pages. Any such book included *in* a (conventional size/shaped) Bluray set would most likely be a specially produced mass market--size ppb edition.. if not the complete book, then perhaps a condensed version, or just a booklet with an excerpt or...

    Blu-ray Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - Columbo The 1970s-- in Blu-ray

    Wish they could have done smth like include a souvenir episode guide - or better yet license the "Columbo Phile" or other existing behind-the-scenes volume for inclusion with the package (such as Image did with the "TheTwilight Zone" Season 1 DVD back in the day) to make up for the loss. Sure...

    UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - Planes, Trains and Automobiles -- in 4k UHD

    Maybe they should.. (but probably they won't). Arrow typically does not release films like PT&A.. Not "genre" enough. Besides that, I highly doubt Paramount would dream of licensing out such a perennial cash-cow. The best chance this film has of getting a remaster is, ofcourse, the fact...

    A few words about...™ - A Haunting in Venice -- in Blu-ray

    Which trailer are you referring to? There are two trailers (that I'm aware of): the teaser/advance trailer and the regular theatrical trailer.. I'm partial to the teaser trailer, which BTW was a mystery all by itself: One doesn't even know its a Poirot film until its nearly over, as Branagh...
