I have "The Day of the Locust" Blu-Ray from Arrow and ran a spot-check comparison to the 4K/DV streaming version. They are strikingly different. The most significant difference to me is that the color in the 4K/DV version is more saturated compared to the Arrow disc; there is also noticeably...

"All of Me" is currently on sale on Vudu. I checked out the "trailer" that can be viewed for free (actually an excerpt) and to my surprise it was not a clip from the shoddy SD version that has been available for years (e.g., on iTunes and TCM). Finally in HD; it was never released on Blu Ray...

Interesting to note that the name of the director of "Chinatown" is missing from the press release...

I received the set today. The booklet features 4 pages of quotes from 26 Columbia films. All but four of those films have been released by Sony on 4K Blu-Ray, either in the 4K collections or separately. The exceptions: On the Waterfront, Tootsie, Awakenings and Talladega Nights. Makes me...

Around the World in 80 Days. This appears to be in the works (as has been discussed extensively in another thread) but whether this will be a 2024 release is of course TBD. Announced by Kino in 2023 as coming soon: Murder on the Orient Express (1974) (4K) Sneakers (4K) Brokeback Mountain (4K)...

According to Amazon UK, the UK release date for the set is March 4. Price is 130 pounds, or approx $165 at the current exchange rate.

For whatever it's worth, this is my experience with Aliens on iTunes (using an Apple TV device). I have two separate Aliens entries in my library, one for the theatrical version and one for the special edition. Each has been upgraded with the same artwork and nearly identical supplements (the...

A 70MM print of "Mad World" was screened at the Somerville (MA) Theater last summer. The print was in fine shape. Included overture, intermission (sans police calls) and exit music.

I cancelled my Amazon order for the 4K "Condor" on Sunday, after which I placed an order directly through Kino. I received an email from Kino today informing me that "Condor" is being prepared for shipment.

The booklet in the upcoming "Essentials Collection" edition of "The Sting" appears to be repurposed from the 2012 Blu Ray/DVD "Collector's Series" edition, which I own (and two years ago replaced the DVD with the 4K disc). The back cover of the "Essentials Collection" edition includes a shot of...

"Revolutionary Road" has been upgraded to 4K/Dolby Vision on iTunes. Not sure when; I just happened to notice it and didn't see any prior mention of the upgrade in this thread.

Couldn't resist in noting for the record that a (very) heavily cut version of "Camille" arrived on UHD last fall courtesy of Sony, and in Dolby Vision and Atmos no less...

What's Up, Doc?, followed in no particular order by: Goodfellas Broadcast News Tootsie The Big Chill Howards End Dangerous Liaisons Hannah and Her Sisters Victor/Victoria Amadeus Out of Africa The Sound of Music Some Like It Hot Scrooge (1970)

Two months ago, I placed a pre-order on Amazon UK for the 4K edition of "The Last Emperor." I received an email this morning informing me that the title has, in Amazon UK parlance, "been dispatched" to my address in Massachusetts. If my experience is any indication, there is no prohibition on...

Studio Canal released 4K editions of "Serpico" and "Three Days of the Condor" in France two years ago and I have copies of both. I found the 4K of "Condor" to be a noticeable improvement over the Blu Ray. "Serpico" was a different story. There was a distracting green tint throughout the 4K...
