Mario Bava's colorful low budget sci-fi/horror show remains a textbook example of the power of ingenuity over money to spin an entertaining, and visually entrancing, yarn.
It also forms one half of the template used for the original Alien (with It! The Terror From Beyond Space filling out the rest).
The screen caps on DVD Beaver looked like the black levels were slightly elevated and the color less vibrant than some of us were expecting. So, before I watched even one scene I raised the gamma on my display, further turned the brightness down a couple clicks, and pushed the color up a few more.
Couldn't have been more happy with the resultant image which had deep blacks, strong vivid colors and still retained a slew of shadow detail.
For fans of this kind of material, this release is absolutely one of the best of the year. A tremendous package that finally gives this movie the treatment it's long deserved.

Was able to look past the dodgy presentation, of which only a part is attributable to it's 16mm origins, to appreciate the amount of craft Bob Clarke brought to this- which, along with Tower Of Evil, is considered the origin of the modern slasher film.
Well cast, with strong performances by everyone, and very well paced. After a half dozen viewings over the decades, I still found this to be a tense experience.
Part of that is no doubt due to it not having a cartoonish, franchise super-villain at it's core. That aspect, along with Clarke's clear respect for the power of the viewers imagination as far as gore and grue (much more is implied than actually shown), made me appreciate this last viewing more than I ever have.

The original Black Christmas is still a very effective horror movie. One I daresay that is overlooked today.

Begin Again

It was better than expected though anything with Mark Ruffalo is usually good.

Still waiting to see why people were down on this season. To my eyes, it keeps going forward and seems as good, as tense, and as surprising as it's ever been. Although not a whole lot has actually happened, I think I'm enjoying this more than the last season.

Had very vague memories of enjoying this the one time I saw it back in the late 80's. Had no plans to pick it up, but as TT's stock started to dwindle I had a change of heart and figured I might as well pick it up, watch it and then sell it off since I wouldn't likely lose much after it was sold out.
Turned out to be a lot more entertaining than I expected/remembered. I'm a big fan of the original, and a little like the '78 Kaufman remake of Body Snatchers, I can see enough value in each of these interpretations to make them worthy of a space on the shelf.
The only problem now is I don't think I wanna sell it after all.

Housebound - and I am glad to say that New Zealand brought the thrills and laughs to this horror/slash comedy. It was great!

Transformers Age Of Extinction. I actually enjoyed this a lot more than the last film, but good golly miss Molly, it is a long one at 2h 45m.

Such a trip to finally see these classics the way they were intended to be. A great horror show, made truly sublime by the added 3D.

Squirm! so glorious!!

re: Last BD or 4K UHD disc you watched?
 

The movie starts out interesting, before going in a predictably cheesy direction near the end. I don't think the unrated cut is much different, If I remember correctly.

re: Last BD or 4K UHD disc you watched?
 

Winter's Tale. Thought I would only last a few minutes but ended up watching the whole thing. Some typical Hollywood but actually watchable. Not buyable, but watchable.

I agree. It also doesn't help that all the characters including the main one are all unlikeable.

It doesn't seem like much but the main differences are that in the R rated cut there are 2 scenes in which alternate (tamer) footage was shot to substitute the unrated (slightly more graphic) footage.
There is also another scene that involves 2 people that is zoomed in so that you can't see from the waist down in the R version.

re: Last BD or 4K UHD disc you watched?
 

I didn't think much of Winter's Tale. I didn't mind the first half so much, but the huge time jump in its narrative was jarring. Russell Crowe was terribly miscast in it.
