Thumbs Up Goal of the Dead
Posted by: spoRv - 2015-01-14, 11:58 PM - Forum: Movies, TV shows and other - No Replies

Another zombie movie, this time from France, about soccer play and players, and public, who turn into zombies!

A bit of comedy here and there, and few spectacular shots, puts this movie above the average of the cheap US indie production - still not on par with big flicks, but better than many other, and it has some funny moments...

Adviced for any zombie movie fan completist! Wink

  Regraded Once Upon a Time in America Extended Director's Cut (more colourful version)
Posted by: kk650 - 2015-01-12, 04:43 AM - Forum: Released - Replies (77)

So here it is, the first completed fan restoration on fanres.com. May this release be the first of many! Smile


kk650 presents: Regraded Once Upon a Time in America Extended Director's Cut


Technical Specs:

Name: Regraded Once Upon a Time in America Extended Director's Cut

Size: 34.5 GB

Video: 1920x1080 H264 23.976

Audio Track: English DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1

Subtitle Track 1: English Subtitles

Subtitle Track 2: Spanish Subtitles


nirbateman from originaltrilogy.com requested that I check out the new Once Upon a Time in America Extended Director's Cut blu-ray and when it arrived a few days ago, I could see that he was right about a strong blanket yellow tint having been applied to the whole film.

With this release I have gone ahead and removed the strong blanket yellow tint across the whole film, bringing all the other colours in the film back to life, making the film lot more natural looking and pleasant to watch.

This version of Once Upon a Time in America has also had the colour saturation boosted to more closely match the stronger colours of the first Once Upon a Time in America US Blu-ray and previous DVD releases. This more colourful version is now my preferred version of this release.

I hope you like what i've done here. Please post back here with feedback of what you think of this release after you check it out, it would be greatly appreciated. Smile


Here are comparisons between the blu-ray and this regraded release:

  [Canceled] Aliens TV Cut and Theatrical Regrade (Fox THX Laserdisc)
Posted by: PDB - 2015-01-09, 04:48 AM - Forum: Archived projects - Replies (245)

This project has been replaced with this one:

https://fanrestore.com/thread-2659-post-...l#pid53257 

[Image: cool_geek_film_poster_art_for_aliens_the_martian.png]


Project Info:

Originally worked on for years, canceled, started up again and then cancelled once again; I'm releasing the theatrical cut regrades to the THX LD that I did years ago. See here:

https://fanrestore.com/thread-2659-post-...l#pid53257 

This is an attempt to re-create the 1987 CBS TV cut of Aliens and color correct it to look like the color timing of the THX laserdisc. The TV cut is a mid ground between the Special Edition (SE) and Theatrical Cut (TC) and lacks several of the smaller scenes of the SE cut while retaining some of the emotional and action moments (see post #37 for a full rundown). [s]Since this cut originally appeared on TV, three small shots of language were cut. This project honors those cut in order to sync the TV soundtrack, which I suspect has re-dubbed lines from Bill Paxton. This project removes many of the "fixes " Cameron put into the movie for the BD release (except the switched guns at the end, that has always been fixed in the TV cut). This project will include the TV and theatrical cut regraded to the THX laserdisc with a reduction in saturation and the reds applies those values to the overly green BD with some tweaks to smooth out shots.[/s]

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. TV Cut (regraded to the US THX LD v1.8)

Video:
2010 Blu-Ray (SE and TCT) video color regraded to the 1995 THX laserdisc with a reduction in red to match 35mm frames and cut into the TV edit

Audio:
1. PCM 2.0 (from the SE LD)
[s]2. PCM 2.0 (from the original TV Broadcast which uses Bill Paxton's re-dubbed lines.) This is up in the air since I have to see if the track can be salvaged but I would like to preserve it since it appears Bill Paxton re-dubbed his lines.

Thumbs Up The Adventures of Tintin (2011)
Posted by: spoRv - 2015-01-08, 09:53 PM - Forum: Movies, TV shows and other - Replies (10)

Few days ago it was on TV, and nothing else to watch, so I thought "let's give it a chance!"... and you know what? Actually I liked a lot! Despite the fact I don't love particularily these kind of CGI animation - indeed, maybe I'm the only one to think that Avatar's smur... Na'vis are nothing more than very well done CGI cartoons, never felt real "characters"... an upgraded version of "Roger Rabbit"! Wink

This time I liked the cartoon design - in particular the captain, seems quite realistic to me; and the story was very funny! Apart the obvious exagerations, I think that if Spielberg had chosen this script for it's latest Indy's chapter, probably it could have been really better than the final disaster called "Crystal Skull"! Wink

So, if you like CGI cartoons, and want to spend some time following a funny adventure, this is really reccomended!
