Body Snatchers '56 on 4K, now with 1.85 aspect ratio!

:shock:

Fascinating if true, that Kino managed to get the original 1.85:1 ratio that was artificially "stretched" to cash in on the 50s CinemaScope craze.

Re: KING KONG (1976) on 4K UHD

Disappointing they brought none of the Scream Factory extras over to the U.S. 4K release, but since I already own it, I can keep that for the extras, and this for the new transfer (which I intend to watch tomorrow).

Re: Disney's OMEN Prequel - April 5th

8/10 This was kind of...awesome...? :shock: For a mercenary franchise-extender, it's surprisingly shocking, stylish and well-acted, with a rustling, eerie score by Mark Korven that's not Jerry (until a climatic usage of "Ave Satani" that made me grin from ear-to-ear), but, by today's stand...

Lovely news! One of Dante's best, and it'll be nice to have a reproduction of the excellent one-sheet art.

Re: GODZILLA X KONG - The "Colorcast" is Back

I pretty much loved it and honestly for what it is, it's a perfect kids movie and a throwback to 50s Sci fi where people would go walking through the jungle, find some undiscovered tribe, etc. Except this time in the ridiculous hollow earth setting! This movie really is a kids film too. There's not...

Re: rate the last movie you saw

But as far as I'm concerned, if George Lucas wants to play this game of irresponsibility to historic preservation simply to cheat his ex-wife out of royalty money (I am 1000% convinced this is the reason why he has done what he has regarding the original cuts), I'm going to register what I think of...

Re: Rate The Last TV Show Episode You Watched

In contrast The Road Warrior gets no more than two or three minutes of coverage, which is pretty unforgivable considering how influential it was -- and that it was a big hit despite being a sequel to a film almost no one in America saw. The original Mad Max made $100 million! https://screenrant.com...
