Babylon

September 9, 1999 // 0 Comments

In the current release batch from Vivid Interactive an interesting movie was included that deserved a second look. The release is called "Babylon" and packaging and screenshots on the box gave an appetite for this lush looking production. Unlike [...]

Deathtrap

September 9, 1999 // 0 Comments

Many films never get the attention they truly deserve and in retrospect Sidney Lumet’s "Deathtrap" seems to be such an example. There is nothing spectacular about the film, no real blockbuster star power and nothing controversial. Although [...]

The Prince Of Egypt

September 9, 1999 // 0 Comments

Before Jeffrey Katzenberg left Disney a few years ago and co-founded Dreamworks SKG with his friends David Geffen and Steven Spielberg he was heading Disney’s animation department and led them back to glory after a hefty plunge in the eighties. Movies [...]

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", [...]

Yellow Submarine

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 [...]

In 1991, the Milwaukee police made a gruesome discovery in the apartment of a man named Jeffrey Dahmer and soon the entire nation was aware of his grisly acts. That same month a film called "Body Parts" opened nationwide and was immediately [...]

Ron Howard’s 1982 comedy “Night Shift” has been released by Warner Home Video as one of their standard editions, containing a pan & scan transfer as well as a widescreen presentation that is enhanced for 16×9 TV sets. The picture is clear [...]

The Wiz

September 3, 1999 // 0 Comments

Universal Home Video’s release of the musical film “The Wiz”, starring Diana Ross and Michael Jackson contains a great Easter Egg. If you go to the disc’s main menu and then to the “Monus Materials” you will find a menu entry for a featurette. [...]

Netforce

September 1, 1999 // 0 Comments

Trimark Home Video presents “Netforce” in a very good fullscreen presentation. Since the film has been produced for TV, it is supposedly the aspect ratio the film was originally shot at. The image is very clear and highly detailed without any noise or [...]
