    War of the Colossal Beast? You think that fifteen seconds of color at the end makes it a color film? It's black-and-white.

    Just for fun. Opened on May 1, 1953 in Los Angeles and played a surprising number of weeks.

    The 4K scan of the OCN, those scenes, are gorgeous. It's the scenes from other sources that are a bit soft in comparison.

    Blu-ray Review A Few Words About A few words about…™ Invaders from Mars – in Blu-ray

    I watched this on Monday but haven't had time to get here and post about it. My history with Invaders from Mars dates back to the 1955 reissue on the kiddie matinee circuit. I saw it at the Lido Theater with two other sci-fi movies and I loved it. Then, of course, the many TV showings in...

    You know what, just stop, please. We ALL peeled them off carefully and slowly and they still took some of the paper with them - I don't care WHAT they were designed to do, they failed many of us here and you've read those posts clearly, so why you feel it necessary to come back again and say the...

    Oh, are they? Someone here posted that they had to be REALLY careful or it would have taken some of the slipcover paper off. You think he's making that up, do you? Having received mine today, I am here to tell you that not only is he NOT making it up, but despite me being super careful, slow...

    Mine arrived today, but I can't pick it up (I have a mail box at a UPS Store) until morning. And of course, I can't watch it as I don't have a 4K set yet - hoping the Blu I ordered in July will be on its way soon. And my neighbor has 4K so I might check it out at least over there.

    Well, in order to talk more about how good the restoration effort is, one has to have the disc and in order to have it involves - the shipping.

    You really can't trust the USPS tracking system, especially with media mail. They frequently never get around to updating and then the package arrives and THEN they update.

    I wrote them and what do you know, they responded instantly. They said when I placed the initial order for the 4K I didn't put in an email address. I don't see how that's possible, but I guess it is. They said they had the order and were forwarding it to the shipping department to make sure it's...

    I ordered mine on 4/21 and have received nothing that looks like an actual shipping notice - order 1272. I had to go through machinations to find my receipt from PayPal debit card, but I did. What I can't find is their confirmation e-mail, but since I had the order number saved, we know it went...

    Yes, got the shipping notice. Most of us won't have it until after the New Year, that's pretty clear. Also, I think the Blu-rays won't ship until after they do all the 4K stuff - I mean the standalone Blu-rays. They've got all the pre-orders for the limited 4K with posters to get out. That could...
