<strong class='bbc'>The Secret of Santa Vittoria Blu-ray Review</strong><p>Though known primarily for producing and directing heavy dramas, Stanley Kramer certainly dipped his toes occasionally into the comedy pool especially in the 1960s with his blockbuster <em class='bbc'>It’s a Mad, Mad...

I was in Best Buy today picking up the original TMNT when I spotted a pile of Blus with some really cool, retro looking artwork - Hang 'Em High, Delta Force, Spaceballs and so on - and they had a copy of Terminator in there. Hey, I thought, I actually dont own a copy of that flick - and its only...

<strong class='bbc'>Men of the Fighting Lady DVD Review</strong><p><em class='bbc'> </em><em class='bbc'>Men of the Fighting Lady</em>, a Korean War film which was released in 1954, is admirably realistic and surprisingly (considering the political climate of the time) anti-war in tone. The...

<strong class='bbc'>Duel at Diablo Blu-ray Review</strong><p>I write this review of <em class='bbc'>Duel at Diablo</em> with a heavy heart, having just learned this morning that James Garner died yesterday at the age of 86. I knew that over the years he had a number of serious health issues. As...

<strong class='bbc'>Brannigan Blu-ray Review</strong><p>By 1975, John Wayne’s illustrious four and a half decade career as a film star had begun to wind down. Advancing years, added girth, and health concerns made the kinds of films he excelled at, action films and westerns, rather difficult for...

<strong class='bbc'>Radio Days Blu-ray Review</strong><p>Woody Allen’s warm, nostalgic, and very amusing reminiscence of his preadolescent years in Rockaway Beach, Queens, makes <em class='bbc'>Radio Days</em> one of his most affable and engaging feature films. Filmed in burnished tones and...

<p>Although there were at least a couple of other M-G-M productions released in 1939 that used the Technicolor process, George Cukor's The Women is notable as being a black & white production with a five plus minute Technicolor fashion show.</p><p>It is that sequence which troubled some past...

Home Theater Forum supports the efforts of The Digital Bits to rally up our online communities of film enthusiasts to let MGM know that we won't stand for a film like John Wayne's THE ALAMO (1960) to receive the kind of studio neglect that it has. You can read The Digital Bits article here...

Brad here. Taking a cue from the "Save the ALAMO" thread. Well here's one I surprisingly forgot to include on my 70 Wish List thread (will update it later) but I felt this movie deserved its own thread as there is surprisingly currently no Blu for Love at First Bite (1979). How could MGM...

<strong class='bbc'>The Mechanic (1972) Blu-ray Review</strong><p>Michael Winner’s <em class='bbc'>The Mechanic</em> begins with a sensational 15 ½-minute wordless sequence as its title character antihero sets up and executes a hit. Sadly, it’s mostly downhill from there, but there are odd beats...

<strong class='bbc'>The Train Blu-ray Review</strong><p>A riveting and sadly under-appreciated World War II caper adventure made with great intelligence and heart behind the filmmaking, John Frankenheimer’s <em class='bbc'>The Train</em> holds its own with all films based on events coming from...

<p>While Kismet has always been a part of the M-G-M pantheon of musicals, it was never high on my personal list.</p><p>I've seen it on film several times, and on older home video releases, and it never really stood out as anything special.</p><p>Until I popped the new WB Archive Blu-ray into a...

Brad here. After reading the reviews for The Big Clock (1948) and the remake No Way Out (1987) I would love to see these two on Blu together in a dual package. And you know, why is it we don't see more of these "remake double features"? Would also love to see the original The Blue Lagoon...

<strong class='bbc'>Thunderbirds Are Go/Thunderbird 6 Blu-ray Review</strong><p>Ever since the release of Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s uproariously wicked parody film <em class='bbc'>Team America: World Police</em>, movies populated with marionettes are just not the same. But in an earlier era...

<strong class='bbc'>Rollerball (1975) Blu-ray Review</strong><p>A life of comfort and privilege has never looked so abysmally dystopian than in Norman Jewison’s eye-opening futuristic cult film <em class='bbc'>Rollerball</em>. Centered around a fictional sports event that has captivated the...

<strong class='bbc'>Red River Blu-ray Review</strong><p>Howard Hawks’ filmography is ripe with movies about strong men embroiled in struggles both personal and professional. <em class='bbc'>Red River</em>, his 1948 western masterpiece, pits two of the screen’s most iconic presences – John Wayne...

So, another little chat about a title that has already been released. We've got plenty of topics here about stuff not on blu or we wish was on blu or that is coming to blu. Watched this last weekend and I was quite impressed with the way this film looks on blu. Beautiful photography of New...

<strong class='bbc'>Weekend at Bernie&#39;s Blu-ray Review</strong><p>Alfred Hitchcock proved in <em class='bbc'>The Trouble with Harry</em> that there’s fun to be had in a black comedy about a group of people dragging around a dead body while keeping the person’s demise a secret for a certain...

I have seen WEST SIDE STORY numerous times over the past 50 years,in 70mm,on stage and on dvd. Recently I rewatched the 50th anniversary bluray disc and was surprised at some of the words used by one of the characters. In the opening scene when the Police arrive to stop the...

How many of the really "big" classic MGM films are selling? Looks to me like very few as there are so few "reviews" posted on the WB site - some are receiving a new lease of life as Warner Archive releases. With so much rubbish being issued, and so many failed films (critically & financially)...

<strong class='bbc'>Wild at Heart Blu-ray Review</strong><p>David Lynch's <em class='bbc'>Wild at Heart</em> is a wonderful "huh?" movie. You know those. They're the types of films that constantly keep a viewer saying "huh?" as the action unfolds. While “Weird at Heart” might have been a more...
