Finally makes it's Blu-ray debut and it comes to £10.70 shipped to the UK. Quite a fan of the story and absolutely love the 1963 film (even have an original vintage cinema poster in my collection) and loved the Netflix adaption recently. the 1999 film wasn't as great but it's entertaining.

the DTS DVD was my demo disc. The audio was a real powerhouse. Shame the BD only has 5.1 audio as this was the second film to be mixed in Dolby Surround EX

small bug that I should make you aware of

using google chrome on my android device and whenever I press last post to see the final page of the thread i'm reading (this is either form the forum index or the thread itself), it only goes to halfway through the thread an di have to keep pressing last post to forward through the pages

An interesting interview with Criterion's Technical Director Lee Kline talking about how they approach restorations etc., can't help but read it as a defense of some of their previous 'tealed' releases.

Visiting Criterion Collection

Looking for the DD5.1 audio from the Criterion CAV laserdisc if anyone has it.

Hi everyone. Can someone help me out please? I would like to see Booshman's superman IV international cut. Unfortunently I dont' have a myspleen account. Any help is really appreciated!!

The movie was originally released with a mono mix. The LaserDisc has this and I read that the R1 DVD also has the mono track.

Was listening to P&S capture and noticed there are some scenes missing on the LD compared to the BD, and that the track is analog.

So was wondering if anyone has the track from the R1 DVD which would be interesting for comparison.

So! It's been a while. I've been working on and off a number of projects in my minimal spare time nowadays that I haven't announced in the likely off-chance of raising people's hopes before stating that I gave up on it / shelved it / got tired of it. HOWEVER, I can say that thankfully, I've come across an interesting case of a movie needing a regrade that ended up being a rather quick project to get the desired results.

I usually do not go to theater anymore, due to various reasons that I will not list here.

Yet, sometimes, if ticket price is very low I could spend couple € to watch a decent movie. Other times - really few - I spend normal ticket price to watch a movie that I feel the "urge" to watch, and this was one of these times.

Stumbled upon the trailer ten days ago, I immediately thought "I HAVE to watch it ASAP!". And I watched it a week later, in theater... in Vilnius (that is the capital of Lithuania, if someone is too lazy to search for it), in English with Lithuanian subtitles.

Yes, I know, subtitles were a bit distracting. And, frankly, I lost sometimes the sense of dialog due to quite fast speech - except for Vincent Cassel that, being French, luckily speaks at a reasonable pace (for an Italian, at least!)

I liked this movie. Quite a lot, indeed! One of the best thing ever, is the fact that action started almost immediately, two minutes at most in the movie. No useless half movie time spent in prologues, explanations etc. no, directly in the action. Perfect!

Acting: far from perfect, but more than decent. Dialogs: as written before, lost something, but good enough. Story: nothing original, still interesting. Monsters: great, apart the supa-dupa over-the-top final one (that I liked as well, by the way). Music, very good. SFX, perfect.

Alien meets what The Abyss should have been.

8/10
