    Blu-ray Review A Few Words About A few words about…™ A Star is Born (1937) – in Blu-ray

    The Garden of Allah is a visual feast for the eyes. Marlene Dietrich was not fond of the script, but did admit some years later that she considered "Garden of Allah" to be the one of the most beautifully produced color movies ever made. She also liked working for Selznick because he was generous...

    Blu-ray Review A Few Words About A few words about…™ A Star is Born (1937) – in Blu-ray

    Thanks for the explanation, I was hoping it was a copyright issue and not a condition issue. It's nothing short of a miracle that anything survives from these 80+ year old movies, so I'm so happy that Gone With The Wind and A Star is Born were preserved and restored so well! I wonder if a...

    Blu-ray Review A Few Words About A few words about…™ A Star is Born (1937) – in Blu-ray

    I am thoroughly delighted with this release. I've been waiting for years for a decent restoration/transfer of this movie, and was not disappointed! I, like others, always thought the original negatives were lost. It seems like it's always the Selznick Technicolor movies where the original...

    UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ Universal Classic Monsters -- in 4k UHD

    I am really enjoying this release and am so thankful to Universal for putting it out. Dracula looks great, The Invisible Man looks wonderful, The Wolfman looks phenomenal, and I haven't watched Frankenstein yet. But what a treat to have all of these horror classics in 4K! Now we just need The...

    A Few Words About A few words about…™ The Alfred Hitchcock Classics Collection - in 4k UHD Blu-ray

    I bought this collection last fall, but just now tried to watch Rear Window. It froze at about 45 minutes in, and cleaning the disc didn't fix it. I did submit a request on that Universal submission form that somebody posted in this thread. Has anyone else had a problem with any of the discs...

    LOL, I saw this movie the exact same way! Mid 60's, on a late show, and it scared me too!

    PHE Press Release: The Ten Commandments (4k UHD)

    I bought the new blu-ray disc that Paramount put out last year, I already owned it on blu-ray, but didn't have the silent version. I will upgrade to the new 4K, I hate double dipping, but this is one of my top favorite movies, and I'm excited Paramount seems to be getting more interested in...

    Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)

    I did like this movie, but the first film was better. I will buy the 4K Disc, solely for the fact that Lynda Carter has a scene in the end credits!

    Blu-ray Review The Harvey Girls Blu-ray Review

    Just received my copy a few days ago, havent watched the movie yet, but watched a few of the extras, the big dance number in true stereo is wonderful! I could watch that all day!

    A Few Words About A few words about…™ Tex Avery Screwball Classics Volume 2 – in Blu-ray

    I'm happy with the disc and the transfers. I was aware that the S.E. negs were no longer available for MGM cartoons, so I knew I was not going to quite get the stunning "Popeye" Paramount look, but the new disc is a nice improvement over the previous DVD I've had for years. Plus with this...

    Scream Factory Press Release: Brides of Dracula (1960) (Blu-ray)

    After watching the movie, I'm really happy with the new transfer. Not perfect, but much better than the previous blu-ray! It looks really good, and I'm satisfied this is the best this movie will probably look on blu-ray.

    The Ten Commandments (1956) 4K UHD Coming from Paramount

    I am surprised they would put out a 4K disc version of The Ten Commandments since they just released that double feature of the silent and sound versions earlier this year, which I bought. I had given up hope of any more classic movies being released in 4K on physical disc!

    Scream Factory Press Release: Brides of Dracula (1960) (Blu-ray)

    I was always a bit disappointed in the last "Brides of Dracula" blu-ray in the previously released8 disc Hammer set. The transfer didn't seem very good, and was a bit too grainy, in parts. I just got the new disc, haven't watched it yet, but it appears to be a better transfer than the last one...

    A Few Words About A few words about…™ The Harvey Girls – in Blu-ray

    I have one of those old Technicolor super 8 cartridge projectors, from 1968. It still works, but all my movies are reel to reel, so I've never actually shown a film on it. But it is super cool looking, looks like its one of the visaphones right out of the Jetsons!

    A Few Words About A few words about…™ The Harvey Girls – in Blu-ray

    The three "negatives" that the studio may be referring to in terms of the Court Jester, might just be the three Separation masters that studios made from the original one strip negative, as protection in case any thing bad happened to the camera negative. The three protection masters could then...

    A Few Words About A few words about…™ The Harvey Girls – in Blu-ray

    The Harvey Girls is an enjoyable movie. I would buy it just for the drop dead gorgeous Technicolor alone, but it's also got a fun story and engaging performances to go along with it! I think you will really enjoy it!

    Apple TV+ My Fair Lady 4K Dolby Vision coming to iTunes on November 24 2020!

    I was very pleased with the blu-ray they put out a few years ago. I would happily buy a 4K physical disc version, but I will not buy it if it's streaming only. I doubt there is enough interest to release a 4K physical disc, but the picture and sound on my blu-ray are pretty good, so I'm happy...

    A Few Words About A few words about…™ Bugs Bunny 80th Anniversary Collection – in Blu-ray

    I appreciate Boomerang showing classic WB and MGM cartoons, I just don't like them stretched out to widescreen, if they weren't made that way. That's why I like buying these blu-rays, because they show the original aspect ratio, and often look better than the ones on tv. Also, there are a fair...

    A Few Words About A few words about…™ Bugs Bunny 80th Anniversary Collection – in Blu-ray

    I have ordered it. I'm really excited to have more Bugs Bunny on blu-ray. I feel it's important that I support these releases, or there won't be anymore new vintage animation releases. I've also pre-ordered the new Tex Avery blu-ray as well. As the other poster pointed out, if there isn't enough...

    Pre-Order Paramount Presents! The Court Jester (1955) (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    I love this movie!! I haven't seen it in about 25 years, I have the dvd, but the picture and sound aren't very good, certainly not a good way to watch a VistaVision movie. I almost watched it on Amazon Prime,, I'm glad I waited, and now can enjoy this beautiful new transfer on blu-ray!

    LG "WOWS" me with excellent customer service!

    I have an LG 65" OLED TV that I purchased in March 2018. Best picture I've ever seen on a tv, and ran great, but at about the 2 year mark, the screen developed bad burn-in. I was way outside of the factory warranty, but decided to talk to an LG rep online anyway. I figured what do I have to...

    thanks, I'm really looking forward to getting the new blu-ray! I would be upset too over the standard def image reduction of your online purchased movies, just another reason to buy physical media!

    A Few Words About A few words about…™ The War of the Worlds (1953) – in Blu-ray

    I own an LG OLED 65", and I found WOTW in 4K to be a bit on the "sepia" side or it seemed to have a slight brown sheen to it. When the HDR flips on, go into the picture setting, and set it to "Standard" for this movie...gets rid of the sepia look, and the colors on this movie on this setting...
