Halloween

September 19, 1999 // 0 Comments

After 21 years "Halloween" is still one of the most impressive horror films that never seems to lose its appeal, and is widely considered John Carpenters best film to date – although I personally prefer some of his later films over [...]

Wallace & Gromit

September 17, 1999 // 0 Comments

I am always getting excited when little known films are coming to DVD. The prospect of short films making it to home video, let away DVD are slim to say the least, and it was with surprise and excitement that I noticed 20th Century Fox Home [...]

Yellow Submarine

MGM Home Entertainment’s release of the animated Beatles classic is loaded with hidden features. 14 or so come to mind immediately, and I wouldn’t be surprised if there are more to be found. Go to the disc’s main menu and press the arrow up key. A [...]

Christine

September 14, 1999 // 0 Comments

The easiest way to rate the quality of a DVD is to compare it to a somewhat similar medium. The Columbia DVD of “Christine” is presented in a 2.35:1 aspect ratio and the letterboxing is superb, displaying the correct framing. Compared to the Columbia [...]

The Car

Rebecca

September 9, 1999 // 0 Comments

Arguably one of Alfred Hitchcock’s best films, his 1940 take on Daphne DuMarier’s novel "Rebecca" doesn’t find half as much mention as some of his later films. Undeservedly it always stands in the shadow of films like "Psycho", [...]

September 9, 1999 // 0 Comments

As time goes by and many great films celebrate their umpteenth Anniversaries, film restoration is becoming more and more of an issue. Sometimes these projects focus mostly on preserving the images as we got to know them, sometimes changes are made and [...]
