The Untold Story

July 9, 1999 // 0 Comments

I do not consider myself squeamish or easily unsettled, but one thing I have to admit, Tai Seng’s "The Untold Story" is one of the most disturbing and horrific movies I have ever seen! Interestingly the first time I heard about the film, the [...]

The Faculty

July 7, 1999 // 0 Comments

Buena Vista Home Video gives us another of their split-personality DVDs; offering great picture and sound, but no bonus features. ’The Faculty’ is presented in a beautiful 1.85:1 frame, with no compression or bending of the frame. The color balancing [...]

My Science Project

July 7, 1999 // 0 Comments

Recently, Anchor Bay has released several older Disney films on DVD and by far the best looking of the bunch is “My Science Project”. The film is letterboxed at 2.35:1 and the framing appears accurate, with no compression artifacts at all. The picture [...]

Rushmore

Let me go ahead and blow this entire review by saying that everything that you’ve heard about "Rushmore" is true. It’s a great movie that is very funny and got totally robbed at the Oscars. It’s a true original that deserves to find a [...]

Magic Lantern present “Children Shouldn’t Play With Dead Things” on this disc in its original theatrical 1.85:1 aspect ratio in a non-anamorphic transfer. The transfer is one of the worst I have seen in a long while. The problem is not so much the [...]

A Night At The Roxbury

July 7, 1999 // 0 Comments

Paramount has done an excellent job on this DVD. It may surprise you – as it surprised me – that Roxbury makes an exceedingly good DVD demo disc. Featuring a broad color palette, with pastels and bright colors splashed across the screen. The [...]

The Cat From Outer Space

July 7, 1999 // 0 Comments

This 1978 Disney film has been lovingly restored by Anchor Bay for release on this DVD. While the picture is clear, the source material appears to have been on the dark side and there is some grain evident at times. No serious film artifacting like [...]

The Old Dark House

July 7, 1999 // 0 Comments

Some movies have a reputation that is larger than the actual film. If a film is rather rarely seen and has been considered lost for long times, this reputation can easily take on mammothly proportions, as is the case with James Whale’s "The Old [...]

Being an admirer of Alfred Hitchcock’s sophisticated, educated and intelligent work in the feature film arena, I have always been looking forward to seeing episodes from his TV series "Alfred Hitchcock Presents". Yes, it is true! I had never [...]
