Exactly Andy, it was licensed through Studio Canal. Very odd Warner picked it up for the American market but sat on it. The director claimed it was because of TIGHTROPE but I don't know how accurate that was.

That's great Andy, so glad it worked out. You're very welcome. JPC does a superb job with packing/shipping, I've never had a problem with them on that end. My only issues have ever been stock-based -- i.e. they canceled my SUPERGIRL even though it showed as in-stock, so I ended up buying it from Gro...

This is going to be ALIEN for kids who have never seen ALIEN, apparently.

Another Fox-catalog raider from Disney that they have to hope will make more coin than THE FIRST OMEN.

Huge new column with the first Eureka discs to arrive in the U.S., plus Arrow, MVD, Shout and Warner Archive titles in this week's Aisle Seat:

That is the kind of asinine plotline that only the anti-Christian bigots of Hollywood could conjure. Agree Eric. It's insulting and they get away with it because Christians right now are just easy grist for the mill. I knew it was over when Father Brennan (who goes from an apparent heretic trying t...

Uh oh...music issue from a Blu-Ray.com user: For the log scene, John Barry's score track, titled 'Ravine', is supposed to start at the 1:13:23 mark of the film. I verified this on the Shout Factory Blu Ray disc. On the Paramount 4K disc, the 'Ravine' score track does not start until approximately 2-...

6/10 What a weird movie. I think director Arkasha Stevenson was more interested in making a pseudo-arty supernatural religious commentary than an overt horror movie, which might explain the fact that -- for whatever good this film does -- there's no suspense in it at all, and nothing pulling the vie...

A few people complained the color was "too hot" but IMO this smokes the old master from the Shout Factory release, which was probably 20+ years old. The detail level is superb and I like the way it looks. Agreed too I much prefer this movie over Jackson's overstuffed vanity project. As for...

Box-office disaster worldwide open of $17 million. Maybe this will show Disney the Fox catalog has little value and they should sell it off. I mean the APES is a "modern franchise" so it'll make $$ but how much is another ALIEN movie even going to make now. Especially since it's, like FIRS...

ROLLING THUNDER 7.5/10 Paul Schrader and Heywood Gould’s script for John Flynn’s ROLLING THUNDER (95 mins., 1977, R) makes for a pungent slice of ‘70s cinema that Shout premieres on 4K UHD this month in a spectacular upgrade on its previous MGM HD master (and 2013 Blu-Ray release). William Devane s...

James Flower's takes I usually am in sync with. I'm guessimg, based on the pretentiousness of the director, that this is mostly an A24 wannabe with some not really synced up connection with the original films thrown around. Remember this was a Hulu movie with no stars so the fact its tanking isn't t...

There's no creative reason to make another Toy Story, the last one wasn't that good but they seem hellbent on "reintroducing" the franchise to a new crop of kids. Thank God Disney didn't make ET as they would've made a new movie every year. That slate is so underwhelming. Lame Marvel which...

Glad we're going Tuesday. Between the C grade Cinemascore and a horrifying $8 mil weekend gross this one will be streaming in a matter of weeks.

Apple must be like, no thanks Ridley, we're not spending any more on this. We're good.

Don't worry, Iger knows "how to make the magic" says George Lucas!
