I watched last night an impressive transfer of THE SPIRAL ROAD; an excellent drama with Rock Hudson and Gena Rowlands. I'm glad I purchased from Imprint. Kino these days does not seem interested in the films of the 60's anymore.
I just watched two new Imprint titles,
PRETTY BABY.. It must be a restoration. Sven Nykvist's cinematography looks stunning ... better than when it was first released. There is also a fascinating 2022 interview with Brooke Shields.
I also watched LOLITA. It looks fantastic as well. A haunting...
It was more expensive originally at DD. Bottom line $60 US is a great price for a two disc set at DD for this boxset. Kino will never have all the extras that this 2 disc set has. For me It was well worth the price.
I don't think Kino will would have the extras included on the 2 disc Imprint boxset. The documentary "Chinese American" is outstanding.
The list price ( discounted) was the equivalent to $46 US .
I'm getting mine for $60 with shipping. I don't feel too gouged
Last night I watched ON THE BEACH and FALLOUT. The supplemental features are outstanding. It was fascinating to hear an audio interview with Gregory Peck from the late 90s with his memories of making ON THE BEACH. The print of ON THE BEACH is sharp but clearly is the same one used for the...
Very cool lineup of films for March. I worked at a theater where "Johnny Got His Gun" was first released and it had a scene of frontal nudity. Since then, anytime I have seen it, that scene has been cut.
I hope the footage was found for this blu ray release.
I received my blu ray of RAGE yesterday. The titles credits looked awful and I was worried what type of transfer I was about to watch. Once the credits were over the PQ looked fine with solid colors and images. I'd never seen the film before. It like it very much. It was taut and...
I just received DAY OF THE LOCUST. It does not look like a restoration or remastered print. Looks on par with the HD iTunes version. Perhaps this in inherent in Conrad Hall's cinematography....but it borders on blurry with defused washed out colors. Very disappointed.
