I have my money ready for the 4K of Paint Your Wagon, but it's looking like March at the earliest. No probs. at all, it's good to have a few releases to look forward to.

Albert R.N (1953) is an excellent WW2 P.O.W. escape film (I think it’s based on a true story). I remember enjoying it on TV in the early sixties, & then it just disappeared, I‘d started to think it was a lost film, but then it started to show up on TV a couple of years ago, & on one channel it...

Yup, there's a few. As well as Paint Your Wagon, there's also The President's Analyst & Duck, You Sucker! (Giu La Testa) that have been announced, but I suppose these new 4K transfers all take time to do, & Kino will slot them in as & when they're completed. I still think it's odd that we're not...

I saw Hell Is For Heroes only last week (recorded from TV), I thought it was a very good little war film, with a great cast. There's another early Steve McQueen b/w war film, The War Lover (1962) Sony, hopefully it won't be too long before that's released as well.

I don't know who's buying DVDs these days. I'm still buying DVD box sets of TV programs that will never get a Blu-ray release (& they really are dirt cheap s/hand in charity shops), but for feature films, why DVD when there's HD Blu-ray? Not that I personally know anyone who's buying discs now...

Me too! I also agree with Jim, it is a train wreck, but I really like it (I like a lot of not so good films, & dislike a lot of masterpieces). Thank god this has Lee Marvin in it, he saves the film. So…Paint Your Wagon please, it should have been released on Blu-ray years ago.

Oh I wish we had a Kino-Lorber in the UK, just so many great catalogue releases, both mainstream & obscure.

I don't mind if the word restoration is used. I mean how many people really know what that means, or would know 2K from 4K, or what an interpositive or internegative is, or in b/w, what a fine grain positive is, & why should they know (I think most people think all these transfers are made from...

DVD Beaver on The Great McGinty. http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film8/blu-ray_review_100/the_great_mcginty_blu-ray.htm

The (not so) mini-series, Centennial is Universal. I wonder.

Well I wouldn't have thought that Arrow (or whoever) needed to be there for the scanning, it's not exactly hands on, no big or artistic decisions to be made, except do it properly. Grading & restoration & finally, authoring, well that's an other matter entirely, LOTS of decisions to be made.

Well for me, with most films on Blu-ray (&DVD) it's been the opposite. All those fifties cinemascope movies that I'd only experienced in mono are now in great stereo (& surround-sound), & that goes for a lot of sixties films that I'd thought were mono. Such a shame about the mono sound Taras...
