STAR TREK Official Thread -- Reactions *Spoilers*
Whether or not I should be, I am surprised by the seemingly universal praise this film as gotten. I thought it was only so-so. I have no problem with a "re-imagining" of Trek, frankly, I think that was the best thing they could do under the circumstances. I was just disappointed with what ...

Hunt for Red October 4/5
No performances less than very good, good F/X, maintains interest throughout even though it could have been trimmed a little more.

New BOURNE Draws Raves
Just got back from Bourne Ultimatum. Basically a hi-tech chase movie. I wasn't really interested in why Bourne is trying to track down where he came from; I didn't really care. I give the film 2 out of 5 stars. I would have given it 3 stars but for the camera-work. It looked like the whole film was ...

New Universal Sci-Fi/Horror Set at Best Buy
Hmm, that's debatable. lol DR CYCLOPS is actually a lot of fun -- early '40s Technicolor fantasy with Albert Dekker. I think the set is worth it for that alone, but then again, I love the Universal monster fests and their '50s flicks. Not great films but variously entertaining and worth the small p...

Memorial Day Aisle Seat
In your Blu-Ray review of Battle of the Bulge, you mention the use of some process screen shots. Actually, I had watched this movie (standard DVD) very recently and I don't recall any such shots. My conclusion: I didn't notice because I just accept such shots as a movie-making convention (like cardb...

Star Trek: TNG
I've just been re-watching my Star Trek: TNG DVDs. I'm about 75% done with season 2. My brother commented that he thought this series was now somewhat dated. He was not specific about which aspects he found dated but I don't think that he meant in comparison to current TV product, which he does not ...

Flash
I have to say I'm a bit mystified by the reactions to this announcement. The Digital Bits seem QUITE excited about it. I had NO idea it was a popular item people were pining over. I saw it at the theater when it was released. I have no desire to see it again... I'm not saying you shouldn't love the ...

CASINO ROYALE -- Reactions
Don't like digging up an old thread but I just watched this on DVD having missed it at the theater. It certainly is a 2006 Bond. A little messy on the plotting (I wasn't always sure who the "bad guy" was). It shares with most other recent movies the very loud and constant sound effects. No...

Back-catalog titles that could do with remastering
Didn't mean for it to but looks like the ones I could think of turned out to all be PD. I guess that's not the point of the thread... The Jungle Book (1942) My Favorite Brunette (1947) Life With Father (1947) Beat the Devil (1953) As far as "legitimate" releases, none that I've seen stand ...

Long-Lost DEVIL & DANIEL WEBSTER Surfaces At Last
I didn't see any reason mentioned for Baldwin to not be credited as director. Any ideas...?

Movie theater-going habits
Was wondering about the movie theater-going habits of posters. Personally, I remember going to 1 movie at the theater in 2006: 'Superman Returns'. It's possible that there were 1 or 2 others but I don't recall for sure. In 2005 I saw maybe 6 films; 4 that I know of (those scored by John Williams), a...

Someone wrote that the format war wasn't going to deter him from buying the movies that he wanted in hi-def. His reasoning was that even if the format he picked was discontinued he would still be able to play the disks he had bought on his player. Players break down and wear out. How easy is it to g...
