Yesterday I watched the new Blu-ray disc of The Bravados, and it's a big upgrade from the DVD which was always too dark.

I had planned to start Agent Carter yesterday, but life kind of intervened and I didn't get to it. Now, today I received Time Tunnel on Blu-ray imported from the UK, so I'll have to start that today instead. Haven't watched the show in so many years and am really looking forward to these high definition transfers.

This weekend:

I LOVE Jennifer Lawrence and thought she was terrific in this. Honestly, it's the kind of movie you need to pay close attention to or else you might find yourself not being able to keep up with what's going on. Minimize those distractions for this one!

An old school Cold War flick. Her Russian accent sounded pretty good to these untrained ears. She pretty much carries the film.

Considering she never went to acting school, she's a pretty damn good actress. I'm sure she's had some training since becoming an actress, but she appears to be a natural.

Last night I watched The Fortune Cookie, a film I saw when it first came out but never since. I've tried a search here to see what comments there have been about this film, but I drew a blank. Can that be right?

Anyway, I like this film and I think Walter Matthau's performance is superb. I was also taken with Judi West. Although I've never seen her in anything else, I think she deserved a bigger career. I also think her character in the film get a rough ride. She's no angel but she's not the wicked woman we're encouraged to think she is. She's a normal, rather selfish person who wants to have a career and is willing to cut corners to get there.

Twilight Time's Blu-ray disc is excellent and is probably the best from their short liaison with MGM.

My official HTF review can be found here..

Thank you for that. I don't understand why the HTF search engine didn't find anything. I notice that you, I and other posters all agree that the picture quality of this disc is excellent.

God, I love that movie.

God, I love that movie.

Yeah, I can't wait to see it in high definition.

I watched The Deadly Companions yesterday. When I bought the DVD in 2007 the only decent version I could find was in Scandinavia. There are now several DVDs of this film in various countries. I wonder if there will ever be a Blu-ray disc.

 

[Matt Hough]

My Criterion order came in late yesterday, so I'll likely sample Heaven Can Wait or Shampoo today.

Going to go see a 70mm presentation of True Lies on Nov 28th.

With the new Mary, Queen of Scots opening very soon, I decided to revisit the 1971 Mary, Queen of Scots (alas, on DVD) with superlative performances from Vanessa Redgrave and Glenda Jackson and a bunch of great actors in stalwart support.
