Keyword View: restoration DVD Review THE LIFE AND DEATH OF COLONEL BLIMP (BLU-RAY)  This beautifully restored British comedy has a great deal to say about aging and war without ever losing its light touch. Read More... PR Shanghai Noon/Shanghai Knights on Blu-ray May 7  East meets West in two wildly hilarious comedies starring legendary action star Jackie Chan and funnyman Owen Wilson. Experience the hilarious action-adventure of Shanghai Noon and Shanghai Knights for the first time on Blu-ray. Read More... DVD Review THE BLOB (BLU-RAY)  Sure, it's stiffly acted and features some of the oldest teenagers ever seen on film, but as a trend-bucking representative sample of 1950s American-made "giant monster" flicks this is a genre classic. Plus, Criterion's Blu-Ray treatment is wonderfully done. Highly recommended. Read More... PR Schindler's List 20th Anniversary Limited Edition on Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD & Digital Copy Mar 5  Meticulously restored from the original film negative in pristine high definition, supervised by Steven Spielberg and includes bonus features that shed unprecedented light on the story of Oskar Schindler, a member of the Nazi party who risked his own life to save more than 1,100 Jews during the Holocaust. Universal Studios Home Entertainment Read More... PR Samson & Delilah on DVD Mar 12  Victor Mature and Hedy Lamarr in the story of the Bible's fabled strongman and the woman who seduces and betrays him. The film brings to life Samson's incredible feats, including his battle with a lion, his single-handed assault on a thousand Philistine soldiers, his struggle with a giant and finally the spectacular climax in which he pulls down the pagan temple. Read More... PR The Thief of Bagdad on Blu-ray Feb 19  One of biggest blockbusters of the silent era, is a dazzling Arabian Nights adventure fantasy and one of the most imaginative of all movies. The elaborate and lush backgrounds and the massive sets by William Cameron Menzies (who would later design Gone With the Wind) all have an expressionistic quality unique for American films of the time. The amazingly acrobatic and energetic Fairbanks is at his impudent best as the dashing Ahmed, the thief who wins a princess. Read More... DVD Review THE SEX THIEF (BLU-RAY)  Director Martin Campbell is best known for helming a couple of recent James Bond flicks, but this, his first feature film, is touted as being a great window into his future filmography. Read More... DVD Review WHITE ZOMBIE (BLU-RAY)  Kino may have committed a huge miscue with the rather grotesque digitally restored transfer offered here, but the film remains a classic in its own right. The superb commentary track from film historian Frank Thompson and the unrestored 'raw' print are reason enough to pick this up. Recommended (but certainly NOT for the primary transfer). Read More... DVD Review FOLLOWING (BLU-RAY)  Christopher Nolan's low-budget 16mm debut thriller receives the Blu-Ray treatment from Criterion. Read More... DVD Review PURPLE NOON (BLU-RAY)  Alain Delon's beautiful and cold Tom Ripley is one of film's all-time great villains, and this new edition of Purple Noon shows off the film's sensuous pleasures to great effect. Read More... DVD Review TWO-LANE BLACKTOP (BLU-RAY)  Even if you're not a gearhead (and I most certainly am not) there's an undeniable sense of self-discovery and purpose in Two-Lane Blacktop, a stripped down, revved up love story about men, cars, women, life.
Read More... DVD Review THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH (BLU-RAY)  One of Hitchcock's early thrillers and Peter Lorre's first English-language picture, this is sure to be another excellent effort by The Criterion Collection. I certainly can't wait to see what they've done with the video restoration. Read More... Article Take Part in a Film Restoration Our friends at Milestone Film & Video are engaging on a major restoration project for Portrait of Jason, a ground-breaking documentary by Shirley Clarke that was one of the first no-holds-barred films about LGBT life. Read More... DVD Review RASHOMON (BLU-RAY)  It took longer than we wanted, but Kurosawa's influential, twisty masterpiece is finally available on Blu-ray from The Criterion Collection. It's also certainly no surprise that this 62-year-old film has never looked or sounded better. Read More... DVD Review DIE NIBELUNGEN (BLU-RAY)  This is an epic release in every sense of the word, from the history of the films to the scope of the storytelling to the elaborate restoration process.
Read More... PR D.W. Griffith's Abraham Lincoln on Blu-ray Nov 13  D.W. Griffith's first talkie, and for this important project, he returned to the historical era of his greatest success, The Birth of a Nation. Walter Huston stars as the nation's 16th president, following his personal triumphs and tragedies. Mastered in HD from the 35mm restoration by The Museum of Modern Art. Read More... PR Special Clips from Sunset Boulevard on Blu-ray  Making Its Long-Overdue Comeback, Noir Classic with Over Two Hours of Illuminating Bonus Features, Including a Never-Before-Released Deleted Scene. A fitting release to continue Paramount's centennial celebration, Billy Wilder's seminal classic continues to enthrall audiences with its bizarre and tragic tale of Hollywood's dark side. Read More... PR Universal Classic Monsters: The Essential Collection on Blu-ray Halloween Slideshow  In celebration of YESTERDAY's release of UNIVERSAL CLASSIC MONSTERS: The Essential Collection, and HALLOWEEN TODAY we have an embeddable slideshow of rarely seen images from the films! Even in black and white, these creatures continue to haunt and horrify audiences. Universal Studios Home Entertainment Read More... |
