    Blu-ray Review While we wait for a full HTF Blu-ray Review of Universal Classic Monsters: The Essential Collection

    Ken, I just spooled up Creature and played it from 57:30 to the end without any problems. This was on a PS3 with the most current firmware. Earlier I had played it on the Oppo 93. Not sure what's happening with your players, but my disc plays. I'm still noticing the change in PQ from shot to...

    Blu-ray Review While we wait for a full HTF Blu-ray Review of Universal Classic Monsters: The Essential Collection

    I'm certainly no expert on Creature, nor on 3D. My review simply notes the experience Joe and I were having watching the movie. I want to be clear that I am still recommending the set in any case - despite my misgivings on that title, and despite what looks like some significant color...

    Bruce, I'm sorry but that's not what I recall watching this past weekend. We noted multiple shots that had no opticals in them that were much softer. Just master shots of groups talking. And are we sure that every shot of the boat on the water is an optical. I agree with the closer shots...

    Just spent some more time with the Dracula disc. Aside from the Spanish Dracula and the new HD "Dracula: The Restoration" featurette, the supplements are in standard definition.

    Blu-ray Review While we wait for a full HTF Blu-ray Review of Universal Classic Monsters: The Essential Collection

    I have not been able to check them yet, but I'll look at a few right now. I suspect they are in standard definition. Most of the supplements are featurettes that date back to the 2004 DVDs and even to the 1999 DVDs. It's possible that some materials may reach back to laserdisc but that will...
