Speaking of Welles (and not to get off track), what ever happened to the rumored DVD release of Journey into Fear? I recall during one of the Warner chats, they were looking at releasing it around the time they released The Magnificent Ambersons, but I never heard anymore about it. Anyone here know anything?

I think I found the answer to my question. A couple days ago, I saw a few posts on Blu-ray.com and Home Theater Forum saying Kino no longer has the rights to The Trial. So, I guess that's that. Now to find a decent DVD copy.

VALLEY OF GWANGI has had an HD master produced (looks rather nice), but it is a Warner Bros. title, so TT is not going to release it.

So here is a repeat:

My wish list:

The Black Hole (I know it is owned by Disney but they will likely never release it on BD)
Blood In Blood Out: Bound By Honor
Buck Rogers In The 25th Century (TV series)
Bully
Candyman
The Changeling (1980)
Glengarry GlenRoss
Grandma's Boy
Hardbodies
Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte
Just One Of The Guys
Miami Vice (TV series)
Mischief
Nemesis
Night Of The Living Dead (1968)
The Pirate Movie
Popeye (Robin Williams - 1980)
Return Of The Living Dead 3
The Rifleman (TV Series)
Sheitan
Spencer's Mountain
Splendor In The Grass
Team America: World Police
Turistas
Xanadu

and an Andy Sidaris film collection (the 80's)

There is an HD master for THE BLACK HOLE which looks quite good, but I suspect it was produced for streaming and not for Blu-ray release, unless perhaps Disney releases it via their Movie Club. THE CHANGELING is available on BD from Japan, but avoid this at all costs. It is blocky, fully of artifacts and motion distortion, and looks like a DVD up-convert (and a bad one at that). It needs to have a proper HD release (Scream Factory?). If you are all-region-ready, there is a nice-looking Blu of GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS from the U.K., and the price has dropped considerably. I have seen an HD master of HUSH, HUSH, SWEET CHARLOTTE that looks just fine, so perhaps eventually Twilight Time or someone will release it.

Cool. Thanks for the info.

Another one I thought about the other day was The Last Valley.

The dvd of it is non-anamorphic and looks horrible. I know it is forgotten but this movie deserves a better release.

The Black Hole is about the only title that would tempt me to join the Disney Movie Club.

Since posting last year, I've been able to cross off some big titles and a few that honestly surprised me along with another that's due in July.

I can't believe though, that I'm still waiting on Universal to put out Jaws 2. August is usually the latest they will release something like that so it doesn't look like it's coming this year either.

I've pretty much given up on Paramount. My only hope with them is that either Criterion or someone in Region B will get the rights to one of their titles- as just happened recently with Paper Moon released by Eureka in the UK.

Finally arrived on Blu-ray as a Warner Archive release:

Showdown in Little Tokyo (Dolph Lundgren and Brandon Lee)

Received my copy over the weekend.

Nice upgrade from the original full screen release in the Warner snapper case.

R-rated version, no extras (a director's commentary would have been nice!), single layer BD disc, but it averages in the low 30's bitrate. Overall, a pleasing upgrade for a very cheesy B flick. :)

After checking out The Visit and really enjoying it I wanted to rewatch some older Shyamalan films and was sort of surprised to find that The Village isn't on Blu-ray yet. I know not everyone loves it but I've always found it sort of underrated and would gladly buy it.

Me and my bother saw Dragnet and my parents saw the Untouchables in the same theater. I had the record with the Art of Noise theme music.

Maybe it was a bomb but probably one of the few decent romantic comedies.

RANT
It appears as if everything out there is either a cult film no one has ever heard of Nude Zombi Holocaust Nuns 3: Undead Nurse Fetus Epiphany (in its original unsubbed Italian!) or a film that came out in the last four years. Yes, I know about WB archive and its meager offerings but in the total amount of releases, flicks prior to 1960 are maybe 1% of them. I never would have believed Chopping Mall would be on its SECOND blu release (isn't Slugs on it's THIRD?) while movies like Quest for Fire have never had a US release.
FIN

Whiskey Warfield 07-26-16 02:30 PM

Re: Your Blu-ray wish list / "When will _______ be on Blu-ray?"
 
And someone really should work on those Golden Age flicks like Deep Throat, Devil in Miss Jones, Debbie Does Dallas, Behind the Green Door... All shot on film, well-regarded by critics and still remembered to this day. Vinegar Syndrome might do it eventually.
