Since the announcement of the death of Ivan Reitman this morning, I thought I'd repost the great interview from The New Yorker last July, where Ivan Reitman, Bill Murray and Bill Butler had a zoom together. They had worked together on Stripes, which was afforded a fantastic 4K upgrade in this...

The accompanying book is really nice and the box is designed well. It fits in a shelf designed for standard blu-rays, unlike quite a few of the Criterion boxes. There are now so many great titles being released, especially as UHDs, I've had to make new shelves to store them!

It has sold out at Amazon US. The one listed on that site is from Amazon UK. It is selling out even faster than Vol 1.

What are you going to look at first? The outstanding restoration of Anatomy Of A Murder?

The difference between the UHD Anatomy Of A Murder in the Columbia set and the Criterion is HUGE. I just watched the new disc projected and everything - picture, music, sound was vastly improved, compared to the Criterion blu-ray from 2012. Robert Harris awarded the Criterion 5 for picture and...

The moment I came home, after three weeks away, I immediately pounced on the Volume 2 set and pulled out Oliver! I was thrilled to discover that the film started with a black screen and an Overture - a sure sign that the 2020-21 restoration was an advancement on the previous restorations. Grover...

My box is sitting at home, waiting for me to dive in, when I return from work in two weeks. Can you confirm that the soundtrack for Oliver! has a discrete multichannel soundtrack? The sound on the previous Sony master was really lacking in fidelity and couldn't really claim to be in 5.1 channels.

The first screen captures have been posted. https://caps-a-holic.com/c.php?d1=16473&d2=16472&c=6221

Well, it looks like Amazon UK aren't postponing their original shipping date so far. I'll cancel my US order and try my luck with the one closer to home.

Simple reason for their choice of titles: a poll based on selected titles (which obviously were readily available for 4K masters). The list was posted on this site as well. https://www.hometheaterforum.com/sony-needs-your-input-for-columbia-classics-4k-ultra-hd-collection-volume-2/ I read...

My son and I saw Oliver! projected from a DCP at the Cinemateket in Oslo last weekend. It obviously used the same master as the blu-rays I have from Sony and Twilight Time. The picture wasn't bad at all, but the sound was terrible. There was no dimensionality and the the fidelity was decidedly...

I must say, I was also a wee bit surprised at seeing Stripes included - or, indeed any of the others, apart from Anatomy Of A Murder, which actually was on the poll! https://www.hometheaterforum.com/sony-needs-your-input-for-columbia-classics-4k-ultra-hd-collection-volume-2/ But I recently...

Yes - the three minute overture is on the Twilight Time disc, with the screen blank. No fake title card from a nitwit authoring the disc, thinking that he'd better put one there, in case they get a flood of complaints from irate punters, complaining about "lack of picture". The Entr'acte and...

The first box set was exceptionally well designed and the price I paid for it on Amazon ($110) a year ago was also exceptional value for money - especially considering that used copies are now retailing for around $400 a year later. This new set will also sell out. Oliver! is, for me, the one...
