    I was wondering the same thing.

    Blu-ray Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - They Drive by Night -- in Blu-ray

    I'm confused which version Robert watched... the review by Matt mentions a Criterion version from 2017 while Robert suggests there is a Warner version that doesn't appear to be on Amazon.

    Ironically these new transfers are not suitable for large screens.

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

    The digital release was just 3 months ago. I find it hard to believe that was a different master than the disc.

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

    I've seen the recent digital version (projected) and it was abysmal. Very waxy to the point of distraction. I'm very surprised to hear the disc version is getting a positive reaction.

    Pardon me but who is this Wayne actor - may I have his last name so I can look him up?

    UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - Columbia Classics Volume 4 -- in 4k UHD

    I appreciate your thoughts. I was thinking something similar with setting up a separate tone-mapping setting for this reason. I couldn't experiment with it last night as I had a guest, but I will going forward.

    UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - Columbia Classics Volume 4 -- in 4k UHD

    Watched His Girl Friday last night (for the first time). Exhausting affair! I was blown away by the frenetic pacing of this movie and the superlative performances from the cast. Impeccable and brilliant timing on the part of Grant and Russell and the writing is very clever. Wow. It's...

    Pre-Order Run Silent, Run Deep (Special Edition) (1958) (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    Watched this last night (for the first time) and loved the movie... but the ending was a little strange - very abrupt with no explanation. Was there footage lost/missing?

    Blu-ray Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - Witness for the Prosecution (re-dux) -- in Blu-ray

    This title sounds familiar - another one I should watch before I die.

    Interesting... I look forward to learning more about that...

    A Few Words About While we wait for a few words about… Killers Of The Flower Moon - in 4k UHD

    I have this. The only disappointing part was that the 'silent film' type text panel graphics are not in English (but do have subtitles).

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

    I spot checked some of the season 2 ones and they were all long, but thanks, that's good to know. One attraction for me of these types of series is seeing some favorite actors in the guest roles.

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

    While I remember Columbo being on TV and I'm sure I've watched some of it (more like it was on in the background) I don't think I've ever watched an episode. Last night, as a warmup to watching something else I was planning to watch, I chose the episode from the 2nd season with Leonard Nimoy...

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

    Well in this case, that is not the reason (it was explained above). And while I'm sure it's possible that 8k would be required to do justice to certain films, I sincerely doubt it would be typical as many 4k releases don't improve on 2k versions as there simply isn't any more information to be...

    Blu-ray Review A Few Words About A few words about…™ Run Silent, Run Deep, The Russians are Coming, The Russians are Coming, and Coming Home (all redux) – in Blu-ray

    I know nothing about this film. I'm having fun trying to guess (by the title) whether it's a drama, comedy, musical or all of the above. Must look it up...

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

    So I took a look at my Titanic UHD. I'm disappointed because, projected on my screen, it has a very processed look to it. It just doesn't look natural. I also looked at the streaming versions of The Abyss and True Lies. The Abyss looked similar to Titanic but it seems more obvious that...

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

    I'm so sad about this release. I've NEVER seen the film. I don't know why, I just... haven't. I was excited to finally watch this with a nice film-like presentation but I have the UHD here unopened and I have no decided to return it because I don't want to feel like I'm supporting this type...

    Received my copy yesterday and based on various reports of it being highly DNR'd I'm not sure if I should return it or not.

    Blu-ray Review Wichita Blu-ray Review

    My Amazon copy finally arrived via USPS and I watched it last night. Having never seen it before I found it mildly entertaining but fairly corny. It did occur to me that their was a surprising difference in age between the lead actor and his love interest (24 years I think) and like a lot of...

    A Few Words About While we wait for a few words about… Killers Of The Flower Moon - in 4k UHD
