Having finished a wonderful viewing of Annie Laurie (1927) through TCM, I noted the mention of Kino in the end titles. I loved the whole thing, gorgeous sets, sharp and often pristine picture quality, lovely Scottish style Robert Israel score, delightful performances and high adventure to...

I'd be really excited if Wild is the Wind makes it. I have a dubious Italian DVD of it but would LOVE an official release, especially in HD from Kino. Would buy all the others cited above as well.

Didn't work with cookies deleted. Probably still too early so will try next week. Thanks for the tip though.

Had a tough time with the Kino website for days now. The site didn't recognize my usual password. I tried changing it but the site wouldn't recognize the new one. Figured I'd forget that and just pay with Paypal but that didn't work either as it kept asking for the CVV number that Paypal...

Guess this is the right place to bring this up. Just wonder if You Never Can Tell ('51) is still on the soon-to-be released roster. Can't wait for this one.

As a silent film enthusiast I love the Kino Muranu/Stiftung releases but, perhaps even more, the ones from elements in American collections like Eastman, UCLA and MOMA. Wonder if the recently restored Fazil from MOMA will see the light of day. It's an exotic Arabian style fantasy featuring...

Another vote for The Mating Season, a hilarious Mitch Leisen classic! Would also love to get Lady in the Dark someday.

Actually West Coast jazz legend Mundell Lowe's super hot & swinging soundtrack to Satan in High Heels is even more interesting than Thrill Kill Kult's. The CD was released through Oldies.com some years ago.

Just enjoyed viewing Kino's blu-ray release of Joe May's Indian Tomb. I had bought the Eureka one some time ago and attempted to view it recently, but only the audio played with NO picture. The menus came up perfectly and all seemed normal until I hit play then black screen with audio only...

I'd LOVE a blu-ray version of The Blue Gardenia as well!

Hope they still have the Murnau-Stiftung connection. Just picked up the German language only M-S release of Amphitryon (1935) which is a hoot. I’d rebuy that with English subs from Kino and any others like it.

Among my most beloved films by Mitch Leisen, who was my great uncle on my mother's side, are Lady in the Dark, Frenchman's Creek, The Mating Game and Midnight. The last I'm really surprised hasn't had a blu-ray release by now. Keeping my fingers crossed for as many as possible!

Just for the inquisitive, how come some melted plastic beads, aluminum and resin are inferior to others and how come so many of what I guess one calls "blanks" (which probably come from similar beads, aluminum and resin) have longer lives than the those pressed elements which are supposedly...

By "blanks" I meant pre-pressed manufactured discs, like the poorly made ones that often go cloudy or fail over time. Blank discs to be pressed not recordable ones like you'd buy from someplace like Amazon. So sorry! So tell me the "proper" term or whatever you call discs what haven't yet...

My most important "thought" about the Kino-Lorber discs are they are the ONLY company whose discs I've purchased for at least two decades now with a ZERO failure rate. Not sure where they get their blanks from but I sure wish Twilight Time had gotten that address. Truthfully, going back in...

There's speculation that the same might be true of Raoul Walsh's Esther and the King. Italian Titanus were involved in the production, which is also the case with Sodom and Gomorrah. A German DVD release is the only one that features the widescreen version. The awful pan-and-scan was all we...

Widescreen "epic type" films from the 50s through the 60s probably benefit the most from an HD upgrade. The image is already compromised with the horizontal black bands taking up a good bit of the image. Compare Spartacus, Lawrence of Arabia or Ben-Hur in DVD to its blu-ray counterpart and you...

Just got my Kings of the Sun BD and. unlike DVDBeaver's review, I think it looks really great, especially in motion, and is so much better than the French BD (which was significantly softer). About the only new release I'd be interested in is The Front Page, but you can't make everyone happy.
