Good Morning: I use the ARC function on both the TV(Samsung# UN65NU7100) and the AV Receiver(Onkyo# TX-SR343) for my 5.1 surround sound. I connect them with an Ivanky 3.3' 2.1 8k HDMI cable. Every few days I lose the sound. I have to disconnect the electric plug(Onkyo) from the wall to...
I think it was on Digital Bits a while back that I read that Disney has no plans to continue to release catalog titles on UHD. Given that Moulin Rouge is a Fox title, which means Disney now owns it, are my hopes for a UHD version completely dashed? Or is there still some hope?
For those unaware, Alfred Hitchcock was a filmmaker of (generally) thrillers, occasionally with a bit of humor thrown in, and one single comedy - Mr. and Mrs. Smith (the 1941 RKO version).
For this 4k Hitchcock sampler of his productions either produced for or owned by Universal, of which there...
I may be the only one to notice this, but Tim Burton's film tend to be a bit weird.
Beetlejuice fits right in with much of his other work.
And that's a good thing, as it's a terrific piece of entertainment.
As to how it looks and sounds in 4k, I'll apologize in advance to those who might like...
All right, they released the Daniel Craig 4 Bond films in 4K UHD. :) .....But how about the Connery's, Moore's, Brosnan's and Lazenby titles ?? Are they getting released this year, with the New film .....No Time To Die coming in November ?? :huh:
Spartacus is a film near and dear to my heart. I know it well, having first seen it theatrically, in 70mm, in 1960.
When it was re-issued in 1967 it had been shorn (much like Lawrence) of much of the material that held the film together, inclusive of the original ending.
Photographed in 35/8...
A hugely popular film upon release in 1996, Columbia has released Cameron Crowe's Jerry Maguire in a special 24th Anniversary 4k UHD presentation, as part of the Columbia Collection boxed set.
And it's beautiful.
The film holds up wonderfully.
Color, densities, black levels (further supported...

The Blues Brothers, John Landis' now forty year-old paean to the blues, overkill and music, has always reminded me of the Ray & Irwin's garage sequence from Mad World.
Actually shot in Vancouver, dressed as Chicago, saved billions of dollars in the various scenes of destruction, merriment and...
The Deer Hunter is a 1979 film, directed by Michael Cimino, which won some awards back in the day.
It holds up beautifully.
Shout Factory's new 4k - a pleasant surprise there - is a mixed bag. The master apparently comes from Canal +.
IMHO, someone cranked the HDR a bit high, making the film...
No joking about this release.
Dead-on Perfect in every detail.
Gorgeous 4k imagery, superb audio in Dolby Atmos.
An incredibly nuanced job by all concerned toward one of the most beautifully produced 4k releases of the year.
Everyone needs a copy!
And for those who don't know, time to read...
Possibly I'm just not a Lovecraft fan, although I find Arthur Machen's work very interesting. Different tones.
Richard Stanley's Color out of Space was recommended to me, and I've viewed the 4k, which is a lovely 4k release.
It's the film, or possibly the screenplay that the problem...
Cinema memories are a bit akin to muscle memory, especially as viewed through the aforementioned fog of time.
It was my memory, having not seen the film since the Blu-ray was released eleven years ago (it was released twenty-two years ago),
that it was a superb retelling of the zorro legend...
For The Invisible Man, Blumhouse, in league with director Leigh Whannell, goes beyond base genre, and has created a beautifully re-invented version of the 1933 Universal classic of the same name, starring Claude Rains, as directed by James Whale, from the novel by H.G. Wells.
Elizabeth Moss...
Warner's latest addition to their 4k home theater library is just for fun.
I make no claims to understanding the permutations and combinations of the DC Universe, any more than I do that Marvel. It's a full time job. But this is Ms Quinn's backstory.

I generally read reviews after I see a film, as I prefer to go in cold. My go-to is usually a combination of the trades, NY Times and Roger Ebert.
For this one, Roger was absolutely on track.

I had no idea what I was going to be seeing when I popped Shout Factory's new 4k release of D-Day in my player.
My intention was to watch ten or fifteen minutes and get an overview.
That didn't occur.
This production, and the resultant 4k release, are so good, that 43 minutes later, I was...
I've been waiting for this one. A true gangster comedy.
Actually, more than that.
In all its 4k - it's Real 4k - glory, this release from Universal is more like the Citizen Kane of gangster films.
With a wonderful cast -- Matthew McConaughey, Charlie Hunnam, Michele Dockery, Jeremy Strong...
I happened upon the 2019 live-action version of The classic animated film, The Lion King (I believe the final actually drawn), while testing out Disney's new streaming service, and came away impressed by both.
I'd had steered clear of the remake , as it seemed like a calculated money-grab by...

The Empire Strikes Back, directed by Irvin Kershner, is either the second or fifth installment in the series, dependent upon how one is counting.
It was a wonderful film in 1980, and remains so today. Stand the test of time?
You'betcha!
Mr. Kershner, who had been at the film racket for...
Return of the Jedi is either the third or sixth film in the Star Wars series, dependent upon how one perceives it.
Regardless, you all know the storyline.
The new 4k UHD / HDR release from Disney is just fine.
Has grain been managed?
Of course, but it looks fine. Possibly because of it, one...
