It seems a disease a certain someone carries from a company to another.

Regarding an earlier question, the MGM DVD release of Altman's Buffalo Bill and the Indians runs 123 minutes, at least according to the case on my copy.

It's not my favorite Altman. I would dearly love McCabe & Mrs Miller on Blu. Someday...

[FrauBlucher]

Beaver on Elmer Gantry. Looks quite nice.

[vidussoni]

Norman Jewison's F.I.S.T. will be arriving on February 10, 2015

[domino harvey]

Beaver on Elmer Gantry. Looks quite nice.

Extras include an interview with, a much older, Shirley Jones for over a dozen minutes with some of her recollections of the film.

Yeah, it's unfortunate she had to go and age

[FrauBlucher]

Oh, Shirley he jests. ( I can't believe I'm writing this)

[warren oates]

So the new Kino Blu-ray of Run Silent, Run Deep appears to be transferred in 1.66:1, which does not seem to be the original aspect ratio, listed on IMDb and other sites, as well as the back of the Blu-ray case as 1.85:1.

52 Pick-Up (1986) on February 24, 2015

Topkapi @ DVDBeaver.

[rockysds]

Robert Aldrich's Ten Seconds to Hell in February.

[domino harvey]

Nice, another new to disc title!

[domino harvey]

There haven't been any announcements for a week, has Kino run through all of their initial licenses?

[christopher_NOBODY]

Their initial deal with MGM was for approximately 70 titles. I would say they've announced around that number by now. I guess we'll see what happens next.

And Taras Bulba

I've just seen a review and several comments on the Amazon page for this that say it's a mono only audio track. I don't know what's authentic for this, but seeing that Waxman's score really the best thing about this film, it's a shame that we don't at least get the choice of the stereo track heard on previous releases and TCM broadcasts of it! There is a nice soundtrack cd at least.

[EddieLarkin]

Witness to Murder at DVDBeaver. Looks much better than I anticipated, clearly a new scan with one hell of a faithful looking grain field. Bonus points for not only releasing it in widescreen (despite the early 1954 release date), but at a precise 1.75:1 as well, rather than 1.78:1.

[domino harvey]

The circulating TCM rip is an obvious open-matte with actual instances of excessive headroom/central framing, so I know of no one claiming it shouldn't be widescreen on the Blu

[EddieLarkin]

Apart from whoever did the transfer/master for the TCM version.

[domino harvey]

Well, as is often the case I suspect they just used an old TV/video master anyways. Regardless, Kino's disc looks like a great noir release everyone can enjoy

Nice to see the use of Mort Drucker's poster art for The Russians Are Coming…. I just wish SOMEBODY would
re-use his fantastic one-sheet for The Long Goodbye

Damn, you're right! I knew it was a MAD contributor, but I clearly need to re-read my old issues.
