Village of the Giants! I love this cheezy Bert I. Gordon film.

 

[Dick]

This sounds fun. I'd also love to see TORMENTED get a Blu-ray. Also, if Susan Hart would grow one (a heart, that is), it would be cool to have AMAZING COLOSSAL MAN, which is actually a pretty good movie.

KL Insider, will the September release of The Blue Panther (aka Marie Chantal vs Dr. Kha) include the English audio dub? Or merely English subtitles to accompany the original French audio?

Thanks.

Thanks.

French only. No English Dub.

OK. Thanks for the prompt response. Glad you're doing this release, and with a commentary -- and grateful that KL is releasing Eurospy titles.

It will include both the 1.33 and widescreen versions.

1.37:!, unless the film was either silent or produced for TV, which would be 1.33.

He knows that, as just about all of the Kino titles that were filmed before the widescreen era have the 1.37 aspect ratio. That's been the case for at least the last few years.

Sunday's Facebook Announcement:

Coming Soon on 4KUHD!

Brand New Dolby Vision HDR Master!

The Princess Bride? Platoon?

Nope! This movie got mixed reviews, but, I always thought "To Live and Die in L.A." was some brilliant filmmaking. I can still remember seeing this on opening night during it's theatrical run. I already own this twice on Blu-ray so why not on 4K disc.

Friedkin might not outdo the car chase in The French Connection but he comes close with the freeway chase in this movie because it's a thrilling sequence. Plus, you can't go wrong with a movie that has both William Petersen and Willem Dafoe.

I actually think it's a better and more elaborate car chase than the one in "The French Connection".

The reason I could see giving it to The French Connection is because it was one of the first big car chases in a movie and helped set the trend.

True, but "Bullitt" (1968) was the first big car chase in movies so I give that the most credit.

The title is a misnomer. It should have been called To Live And Die In San Pedro since most of the movie was shot there.

I'm from Pennsylvania, all of California is L.A. to my dumb country ass.

Pennsylvania? That’s east of here, right?
