THE UNTOUCHABLES (1987) 6-track DOLBY STEREO / Luasfilm Ltd THX Sound System

Classic late 80's Brian De Palma film, starring Kevin Costner, Sean Connery, Robert De Niro, Charles Martin Smith and Andy Garcia in crime thriller about Al Capone and the man that dared to cross him Eliot Ness and his Untouchables.

Ennio Morricone opening score is brilliant.









Comes with small neat looking poster.

Olympus Has Fallen (2013) dtshdma 5.1 / Lucasfilm Ltd THX Sound System

Two similar films of same thing terrorists propaganda taking over the White House.
I seen White House Down and few comedy scenes it kinder made it a little dull but each would have its own fans. Olympus Has Fallen is a bit like DIE HARD only a lot more blooded action and how it gets a 15 rating in the UK rather than 18.

No dtshdma BIT BOMB detected with Onkyo TH SR-875 on this pressing.




































The ringing ear tone sounds accurate.

Wings on Bluray. It is fantastic!

"In the Name of the Father"..... (AGAIN !!!!!)
Most excellent movie based on an Irish Republican Army bombing in London circa 1974......
Civilians were falsely accused and imprisoned to satisfy the British legal establishments image at the time.
Turned out to be one of the biggest embarrassments for the British legal establishment 15 years after the fact.

Another stand out performance by the venerable Daniel Day Lewis......

A must see movie based on the real life experience of Gerard Conlin one of the Guildford four and the Maguire 7.
All convictions were eventually overturned.
The Maguire 7 victims were NOT compensated for their term in Prison.

Several books have been released by the various victims that make for very good reading based on their confinement in prison as well as their sojourn returning to some form of normality in their lives afterward.

One for the collection ! Check it out !

Watched these recently. I never saw Fun and Fancy Free and First Contact before. Nice discs. I remember seeing The Saint in a movie theatre in the ninetees.

the empire strikes back.

Elite Squad.

3000 Miles to Graceland (2001) Dolby Digital / Lucasfilm Ltd THX Sound System

"Time to go to work baby. lets do it"

Brilliant film Action crime comedy Kurt Russell, Kevin Costner, Courteney Cox, Christian Slater and Kevin Pollak.

Evils impersonates rob a casino that ends up going south with doubles of double-crossing of trouble.

Stylishly filmed nice pallet of colours.

Dolby Digital packs a punch on the weaponry sound effects and mixing. Dialogue remains clearly understood.

Legends of the Fall (1994) [HVMC-21588]
Very fine movie, excellent video quality. It was the 4th from the last muse ld released. Its appearant they put a lot of effort into it. Zero compression artifacts, sharp, detailed. Very few speckles in opening and ending credits. I fooled my wife she thought it was hd hbo. Efm track was excellent. Very few pans to rear surrounds but front stage was very active with a lot of left and right steering.
Film 3.5/5
Picture 5/5
Compression 5/5
Audio 4/5
Packaging 4.5/5 (no individual cover art per jacket)
Re-watch value: low to mid

I watched Tremors yesterday. This HD-DVD has a fantastic picture quality!

universal re-releases of hd-dvds on bd are notorious for excessive use of dnr and ee. hd-dvd versions are generally untouched and amazing quality. the only real upgrade bd gets is lossless audio where hd-dvd is high bitrate dolby digital plus. tremors, dune, the thing, Spartacus, big lebowski, are all terrific hd-dvds.

Totally agree. The Universal ones always look great. I was so bummed when HD DVD lost the format war.

Just viewed Samson and Delilah (Circa 1951)
Don't make'em like that anymore to be sure ................
Great production !
My son hated it ! LoL !

Atlantis (1991) [PILH-1003]

the very first minute is horrific picture quality. its very dark and that means a lot of noise/compression artifacts for muse. good deal of speckles. If you have not seen this muse disc before, an unanticipated fear surrounds you that this is a horrific transfer. Once the intro is over, things get better quickly. In fact picture gets really good. Now almost all scenes are bright underwater scenes and you get unbelievable detail out of the muse technology. The transition is from the worst muse release to arguably one of the best. You could easily fool someone that its a Blu-ray disc they are watching. Audio is 2ch dance track. Terrific music from Eric Serra and it sounds just as good as any prime recording.

film 4.5/5 (its really a documentary and a good one)
picture 5/5
compression 5/5
Audio 4/5 (it would be 5/5 if it was 3+1 dance)
packaging 4.5/5 (single disc only, jacket cover art is same as slipcase)
re-watch value: very high

I think its a great demo material. most demo discs are $200-400 and only contain 15-30 mins of video. This is a full length feature with amazing picture and sound for the same amount or less. You just have to skip the first few minutes when you demo it to someone.

Heddy Lamar is gorgeous in that one.

Love the MUSE HI-Vision reviews, substance. I'm so jealous I'd love to see what MUSE looks like on my modern 55" display, especially a good pressing.

I heard someone say that Jurassic Park on MUSE was better then the non-3D Blu-Ray. Would you happen to know if this is true or not?
