Road to Wellville, The (1994) [73426]

Less raunchy and madcap than I'd remembered from a lone viewing when it debuted, yet a more balanced film overall. An active script, good performances, and attractive sets. Also, Dana Carvey portrays a character that matches how I've always imagined him to behave and appear in everyday life.

LD quality = AQ was high as usual. PQ was phenomenal, going head to head with Sleep with Me as the best looking 1:85 I've seen. No complaints at ten feet wide. Thus it boggles the mind the DVD release was full-screen. WTF.

For those interested, the LDDB shops happen to sell this very cheap.

Today while I was taking a walk during my lunch break as I usually do almost every day I discovered a new and small record shop close to where I work.
All of a sudden while looking through the boxes with various vinyl discs inside them I noticed a laserdisc within the lot - The Frighteners dts LD !
I guess the seller did not even know it was a laserdisc and sold it to me for 5 Euro. I could not believe my luck. I most certainly did not expect this
to happen today ! Plus I have never seen this film so I have something new to watch on my laserdisc player.

I have found a few, not many but a few, LDs like that over the years in unexpected places including among boxes of vinyl records including an F1 LD that I had not seen before - made my day!

Great when you bag a good one like that, enjoy :thumbup: .

Cheers

Great movie. I actually would have preferred that it was pan and scan.

Some early 90s masters including this one are a bit soft and don't scale that good.

Ah, yes I do remember it was different, don't know if its soft or what now as I sold it years ago.
But I do feel that widescreen films like this where they were PS in the US had odd transfers from Japan.

Finally got all those movies I mentioned previously yesterday. Safe and sound in a couple large boxes. About 10 LD to a box and very well packed.

Grabbed a copy of Blazing Saddles (1974) [1001 LV] to whittle down the remaining titles I want in my Mel Brooks LD collection.

You see the trailer for the sequel yet? Great balls of fire does it look bad.

I loved that movie so much> I built a cockpit around the TV to pretend to fly in the aerial combat scenes.

You won't be disappointed. Ran it only the other week and picture quality was reasonably sharp and more than decent for a mid 80s movie, no real video noise to speak of with just film grain apparent. If yours also has the Dolby Digital 5.1 option like mine then your in for a treat. Tbh even the PCM option is still really impressive.
