Heath 36 titles in one vid!? Holy Shnikes! Kino puts out some great stuff! The artwork for the Eastwood films is just incredible-especially for Play Misty For Me.
I haven't seen Two Mules for Sister Sara, Play Misty for Me, and The Eiger Sanction, but I'll have to watch them at some point. I'm a huge Clint Eastwood fan. He's always been one of my favorites. Thanks, Heath! I really appreciate it! Keep it up! God bless and stay safe!
Yours is the best home video vlog. Speaking of snap, you need to come back and do a dedicated video about that audio commentary for No. 1 of the Secret Service as the last forty-five minutes go off the rails into a hilarious disagreement about the film. The other commentator, the author, raised his voice and the creator of Sledgehammer told him to shut up and wasn't kidding. Please do a video about that movie's commentary. I'm so glad Kino Lorber allowed it to run unedited.
WOW! a huge collection for our eyes to feast on.Need another T-shirt “why no HDR”😅 .These monthly Kino and Imprint reviews are like Christmas coming all at once.Bless ya Heath😊❤ 🙏
I recall seeing "The Martian Chronicles" as a kid when it originally aired. I was already a Bradbury fan. So, even then, I didn't think it lived up to the poetry and majesty of the book. But it's good. And features a fantastic cast. However, for truly great adaptations of some of the stories featured in "The Martian Chronicles" check out the radio adaptions from the anthology series "Dimension X" and "X Minus One."
Great video1 A couple random comments: It's TF1 - which is obscured by the trademark design. TF1 is a French media conglomerate.(re DEADLY CIRCUIT) ONE, TWO, THREE was originally released on blu-ray by Kino Lorber. I think it had the same extras. The two Di Leo films were previously available on "The Italian Crime Collection" vol. 1 issued by Raro Video. REVENGE OF THE ZOMBIES was a Monogram Picture. No idea how MGM acquired it. TWO MULES FOR SISTER SARAH was written by CaM fave, Budd Boetticher. He intended to direct the film with Robert Mitchum and Deborah Kerr. PLUNDER ROAD is a great, tight heist movie. I look forward to rewatching it, as I've recently seen a couple of Wayne Morris' westerns on Warner Archive DVD. He's fine in all of them and is excellent in PLUNDER ROAD.
I watch EVERY KINO video you make including all tarzi interviews keep that stuff coming.I loved the toby roan interview and amanda nunes interview.I like to watch interviews with people who are experts in certain genres it gets pumped about watching more stuff in those veins.The Toby Roan interview got me watching that roy rodgers christmas movie haha it was great im gunna play it again when my dad comes over.I also watched any of your blu ray physical media updates.Keep doing your thing ill keep watching
Thanks for the November KL overview. Always some intriguing and great titles that they are releasing. Congrats on the TV Historian credit!!! If only they knew that you were also a historian on movies, comics, pulp fiction books, autobiog... (sorry, hit the character limit ;)
Love the Clint Eastwood 4Ks. Pale Rider is probably my favorite movie of his. Mountains of the Moon was my favorite movie of 1990. I have the screener on VHS and a poor copy on DVD. I have the Blu Ray on order and it should be arriving soon as the postal strike is over here in Canada.
That's worth a video of its own. Those movies are still being ripped off today. People who think the fourth-wall breaking, self-referencial approach began with DEADPOOL, need to spin these disks. These films have slipped from the discussion in recent years and really need new attention. Because modern audiences, who think they don't like classic movies, will immediately warm to these.
I recently watched The Visitors because Elia Kazan directed it, and it's a gripping and genuinenly upsetting film. It's about a Vietnam soldier living in the countryside with his wife and father in law during the winter, and one day two of his former soldier pals from Vietnam show up unexectedly and disrupt their life for good. It's pretty disturbing, but still one of the best independent movies I've ever seen.
I’ve lost count of the number of times you’ve addressed the nit-pickers, Heath. Stop feeding oxygen to the fragile, narrow-minded one percent of collectors who bemoan the style of transfers (etc). Ignore them! The majority of us are like you: VERY thankful that physical media is still getting love from these studios. It’s because of this channel that I first learned of Kino Lorber, in fact!
Heath I have seen & had Prey For Rock N Roll w/ Gina Gershon on DVD and we had a huge rain storm and part of the roof started to leak and it was in my bedroom and dripped on my dresser where I had a stack of DVDs and that was the title that got ruined. I love that movie. Drea Demateo is married to Whitesnake bass player Michael Devin.
Bug is a under appreciated movie. I already own the digital so idk if I’ll buy the Kino release. As you always say all that matters is the movie/what’s on the disc, it would be nice to get the physical & I’m happy others will get to enjoy the special features but I’m happy with my digital copy. On another note the very rare, very hard to find Looking For Mr Goodbar got a physical release from Vinegar Syndrome. Since that movie isn’t available anywhere physically, digitally or streaming (TCM aired a version of it in Sept or Oct) I actually spent the money to get it. Let us know if you get it & your thoughts if you do get it.
When I was in high school I went to a talk by Ray Bradbury after which he did book signings. I was literally dumbstruck so the friend who took me said “he’s a big fan.”
Do you have any videos or advice about starting to collect DVDs. I realize I wanna collect physical media of what I love, cause I prefer it to having a digital copy or streaming things. I enjoyed this video and wondering if you have any guides about starting.
Start by buying what you like. If you can start with Blu-ray I would say that's a great place to start because you can always play DVDs as well with a Blu-ray player. Shop as much as you can at places that have used movies, flea markets, pawn shops, eBay etc The important thing is buy what you like and from there you can branch out into things that sound interesting. It's because of cereal at midnight that I have gained and appreciation for Westerns which is a genre I used to actively dislike
Hey Criterion, this is how you upgrade titles to 4K. You give people some reason to do so, beyond a minor upgrade in qauality that isn't always even perceptible.
"Mountians of the Moon" ... you rushed past this movie. So, I thought it needed a spotlight. Directed by Bob Rafelson who is probably best remembered for his various collaborations with Jack Nicholson (Head, Five Easy Pieces, KIng of Marvin Gardens, and The Postman Always Rings Twice) offers someting entirely different here. An epic film, more in the David Lean mold than anything Rafelson had ever done, which came and went in 1990 without much fanfare. But then slowly built up a following. It's about Sir Richard Francis Burton (explorer, author, historian, soldier) who should have 1,000 films made about him, and John Hanning Speke and their collaborations and rivalries in their search for the source of the Nile. The direction and production is so assured you'd think Rafelson had made a 100 films like this. And it's one of those films that once you see it, you'll be recommending to all your friends so much, they'll be sick of hearing about it. Put this on the top of your "to watch" pile.
Oh Heath, I spent the Thanksgiving holiday with my brother, his g/f Amy & her wonderful amazing family in Strongsville Ohio (suburb of Cleveland Ohio)….which we of course had a blast. We went to the movies and saw Gladiator II. It was an amazing awesome film. Denzel’s character in the film is such a slyful dick.
Hmm... Is it really 'nit picking' when you've bought The Italian Job and someone has taken what's always been a vivid blue Italian sky and turned it.....green?🙄 I mean, if they were giving it away for free then it wouldn't be so bad, but they're not, so it is
The problem, as we both well know, is when movie fans act as if they know more about the restoration process than the people who actually restore film for a living. I've seen collectors take on everyone from The Library of Congress to the studios themselves. You're calling out a very specific example of a color timing choice on The Italian Job, which Paramount restored themselves a few years ago to make less cyan and more neutral blue, and they did this because they were aware that it was too green. And yet--some people still weren't happy. There's a subset of this audience that is unhappy with literally everything released on the market. It becomes comedic at some point.
@@CerealAtMidnight While you're absolutely right that many people take it too far, I think viewers might have a reaction to you saying "be grateful to what we have." When people pay a lot of money for a 4K release, it's useful to know if there are any obvious errors that would spoil the enjoyment, as with The Italian Job, so "being grateful" isn't quite what people feel is appropriate. However, I do generally agree with your sentiment! I am just happy to have a bunch of films in my living room to choose from. I can rarely afford 4Ks so it's a real luxury to get hold of one, and it is wondrous time to live in when it comes to movie collecting: there is so much choice out there! Keep up the good work!
Take all that onboard 👍 There's still room for criticism when 'revision' goes too far, something gets 'missed', or errors are made You've just proved the point - that edition had the colour timing wrong, and the following release corrected that error. It's all relative, as another reply to this rightly points out, and the positives outweigh the negatives - there's never been a better time for film fans and obtaining films that were previously simply not available @@CerealAtMidnight
Congrats on "Martian Chronicles"...stoked to get my copy for Christmas.
Heath 36 titles in one vid!? Holy Shnikes! Kino puts out some great stuff! The artwork for the Eastwood films is just incredible-especially for Play Misty For Me.
Two Mules is one of my favorite Clint Westerns too. probably 4th behind Josey Wales, Unforgiven, and Pale Rider.
Love the music score to Two Mules it's certainly an entertaining western quite underrated!
Someone once called Alfred Hitchcock "Al." He met a bad end falling off a national monument...
Congrats on on been billed a historian !! Glad for you!!!
That picture you pointed out on the Noel Cowards Story was from a tv production of Blithe Spirit circa 1956. I think it’s on UA-cam

@@eiadtarabulsi I like all three of those. Misty is one of my favorite Eastwood movies overall
We got that Kino sale going on right now 😎😎😎😎😎
Eiger Sanction is a great and entertaining Clint Eastwood turn playing a spy/hitman. I actually saw this in the theater

Heath, Michael Shannon has become such a talented and another underrated actor.

Macaroni combat getting some love with that Jack Palance movie.

I think Budd didn't actually like Two Mules for Sister Sara. He said in a documentary or featurette that he would've directed it differently.
@@HuntersCinema I've read the same thing.
LOL! Love your Harry Connick.
Loved the reference to Gods & Monsters. Now there's a great film! (which deserves a better release than it currently has)
I highly recommend Prey for rock and roll. It's got a fantastic soundtrack too.
I have The Martian Chronicles on video. The whole thing on one vhs. 🤣 So I'm thinking that blu ray would be a nice upgrade

How do you have time to watch all these? Enjoy!

Among friends and co-workers, Hitchcock preferred to be addressed as “Hitch”.
You're hoping that they will put out the Cary Grant movies that were on Olive films.

Won't be buying ANYTHING from Kino again. Got 6 damaged items from the sale and the worst customer Service on the planet.
Iain is pronounced exactly like Ian. It's a more traditional scottish spelling.
Hmm...
Is it really 'nit picking' when you've bought
The Italian Job
and someone has taken what's always been a vivid blue Italian sky and turned it.....green?🙄
