Last night I watched the 3D version of I, The Jury. This is the best 3D presentation I've seen. I watched the 4K 2D version a week or so ago. The film itself is only so so and it's difficult to understand what's going on.

Last Nights Feature Presentation

Chapters 7- 10, what a great story!

Having enjoyed a superb 3D rendition of I, The Jury, I decided to continue with 3D yesterday and re-watched the Panamint Blu-ray disc of Inferno, a very good film. Lucien Ballard certainly made Rhonda Fleming look good!

Gremlins (4k disc) - a perennial Christmas classic.

Did you notice any audio sync issues in the 5.1 audio in the scene where Kate tells the story of her father?
This is what I read at the other forum.
They say this issue was on the blu-ray too (not on the stereo audio but on the 5.1 again) but I didn't notice anything.

 

[Keith Cobby]

I didn't notice any problems with sound on the disc, I sampled it a few months ago when first bought and didn't think the image was too good, but now I've watched it I was much more impressed. The effects hold up really well, great family film.

Yesterday I same across a good presentation on YouTube of a routine crime film: Loan Shark. The film's quite well made although George Raft was too old and not nearly subtle enough for the lead role. Half way through, I suddenly thought of Sean Connery's performance in The Frightened City where was far better - and far more appropriately cast - playing a similar character.

Later I watched Miracle on 34th Street, a lovely film. The whole cast is good but last night I thought Natalie Wood was the best. I wish the Blu-ray disc had derived from better elements.

I'm going to watch White Christmas today.

Later I watched Miracle on 34th Street, a lovely film. The whole cast is good but last night I thought Natalie Wood was the best. I wish the Blu-ray disc had derived from better elements.

I will be forever mystified why the Academy didn't vote Natalie a juvenile Oscar that year. They voted one for kids in 1944, 1945, 1946, and 1948 but not for her in 1947, and it was so earned! I guess they felt she wasn't in quite enough of the movie.

In the past few days I've watched Black Gold in tribute to Diane McBain who died very recently. She's really good in this underrated movie which should ideally have been made in color. The whole cast is good: Phil Carey was always a good serviceable hunk, Fay Spain again shows she could act and Claude Akins, in what was probably his best ever role, is excellent as a genial but unscrupulous villain. In a supporting role was William Phipps which prompted me to re-watch Crossfire, one of my favorite movies.

I've also watched that superb Blu-ray disc of White Christmas and also Decision At Sundown from the sub-standard Mill Creek box-set. My seasonal watching has also included Christmas In Connecticut, an amusing film on a superb Warner Archive disc.

In the next few days I'll watch Ocean's Eleven, Remember The Night and The Apartment.

Yesterday Christmas Vacation, today Cover Up (1949) and White Christmas. Tomorrow The Snowman (1982) whose creator Raymond Briggs sadly passed away in August.

In the past few days, I've watched four films with Christmas or New Year connotations: Backfire, Ocean's Eleven, The Apartment and Remember The Night. I also suddenly felt in the mood for a black and white crime film so I treated myself to another viewing of The Naked City, a film I always enjoy despite that utterly redundant voice-over commentary.

Today I'm going to watch The Great McGinty which I haven't seen for a long time. After that I'm going to start a season of long films which will include The Bridge On The River Kwai, Lawrence Of Arabia and Patton, among others.

I've been watching a bunch of Christmas movies the last week or so. However, I did have time for this classic sci-fi movie on 4K/UHD:

 

[Keith Cobby]

Scrooge (1951) - definitive version of Dicken's A Christmas Carol.

Serendipity (2001) - one of the few rom-coms I like and all wrapped up at Christmas in 91 minutes (it can be done!).
