What Blu-Ray did you watch last night?

[Graham Ritchie]

I liked the ending Osi, after all he got to spend time with her without that other little brat spoiling things, his journey to find the blue fairy was an interesting one, Jude Law in particular was very good in the part. The ending I felt was a bit sad, however he had Teddy with him when the lights finally went out. Did you pick up Robin Williams doing a voice part?

PS In the making of "Haley Joel Osment" said the hardest thing for him to do was not to blink.

[Osi Osgood]

Whenever we watch "AI", we always finish the film when it fades out on Hailey repeating the wish to be made a real boy, which is souch more satisfying than that tacked on happy ending.

A couple of screen shots from last night😎.

Yvonne wants to watch it tonight, so it looks like another screening tonight.📽

Air Force One 4k uhd blu ray.

Reelly quite fantastic view and detailed. Ran it up on the 4k projector, so nice to see the foggy image gone from the old bluray.

Well that was last night, but tonight it was back into space with "Ad Astra" its not the first time I have watched this blu-ray, and it wont be the last. I think the special effects are really great, something I never tire of with space film. Projected tonight using the Panasonic VP. Both picture and sound quality are excellent.

Its one of those movies to sit back and just enjoy the ride.

I never watched AI at the cinema but did get round to watching it in later years. Its a interesting film, picture quality is so so I have seen better, and the sound quality is very good. If you like to watch something a bit different then AI blu-ray might be for you.

mmmm Ed I must have been in a rush when I posted it, or is it an age thing? I am sure you will enjoy it, however my Wife Yvonne had to get the tissues out last night near its end.
Right of to Muffin Break to re-charge my brain cells

1,996 years ago? Wow!

Another of those - "Eats shoots and leaves" moments.

[Ed Gordon]

I remember watching "Phenomenon" 1996 years ago...

1,996 years ago? Wow!

I see it got pretty good user reviews on IMDB and 59% Audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. Looks like a "love it or hate it" kind of film. After watching the trailer it looks like a movie I would enjoy.

I remember watching "Phenomenon" 1996 years ago and always regarded it as a very good film, a couple of days ago I picked up the blu-ray brand new and still sealed for $5 dollars from my favorite second hand shop in town

This movie got poor reviews , to this day I cant figure out why, as in my book this is John Travolta at his best. The directing by Jon Turteltaub was excellent, as with the story, other cast members, in fact I would give it a ten out of ten.

I projected "Phenomenon" last night using the Panasonic VP and found both the Scope picture quality and the DTS 5:1 to be excellent. Reading the back cover it states, all-new digital restoration with enhanced picture and sound, also below {2014 blu-ray release} so I am not sure if there was an earlier release, but I certainly cant fault this one.

"Phenomenon" only has a PG rating, so its suitable for "everyone" to watch, its been one of Yvonne favorite films to watch in the past, but it last night using the VP for the first time with this blu-ray brought the viewing experience up to a new level.

Its a movie I would highly recommend, I didn't take any screen shots but here are a couple from the internet, also check out the actor from Star Trek in this scene in the you-tube video?, you should know him.

[Mike Newell]

Superb gothic ghost horror story from Guillermo del Toro. Ghost of a dead mother revisits her only daughter. Devious husband who marries her and his evil creepy sister. Spooky house and twists and turns aplenty. There is also some blood and gore and the ghost comes to the rescue in the end.

I remember seeing it when it came out in 2015 it didn’t really do well at box office on release but well worth a watch. Available on Blu ray for a few pounds.

Some day it will be recognised as a classic.

Yesterday I screened “ Mrs Harris Goes to Paris” on DVD in my home cinema to members of wife’s WI. It was one of their members money raising events for their charity of the year. Coincidentally it it also being screened at our local cinema shortly as one of their Wednesday morning film club repeat screenings. Who said DVDs are obsolete! Ken Finch.

[Graham Ritchie]

Been working through a selection of blu-ray and DVDs using the Panasonic VP for the purpose.

A few nights ago we watched the above

Other titles below were by myself

Tonight it was "The Guns Of Navarone" being one of my favorite films from the past


And last night it was the turn of this blu-ray, the landscape photography is really outstanding, with English sub-titles both Yvonne and me and by accident, went to the wrong film one night back in the 1980s, it happened to be this one. I thought at the time, this is a long trailer any we stayed and thought in the end, it was pretty good movie. The ending is one of the best the cold landscape is so well captured you feel cold just watching it

[Graham Ritchie]

Last night final screening here before junior returns home to start high school next week, it was "Signs" boy did that make Connor jump, especially at the scene where the alien gets his fingers cut off.

One thing for sure our grandkids, is when they visit they will always remember those "mystery" film evenings . My son Steven called in on his way home from work "Connor dad", Connor told him about me about letting him watch a movie about a man building a bridge in Africa When I told Steven it was "The Ghost and the Darkness" WHAT he says, you forgot to mention the 20 or so that GET EATEN.... a man building a bridge he says well it was, my reply.


A couple of screen shots from a past one,
