Well tonight I went fishing again I really hope that this 1975 film will get a 3D blu-ray release as it did in certain cinemas last year, sadly it never came here in that format .In saying that its still nice to step back in time every so often

Screen shots are from a previous blu-ray screening, its hard to imagine its getting close to 50 years now since it was first made

[Graham Ritchie]

Last night it was "Deepwater Horizon", tonight its "The Day After Tomorrow" both movies are very good and the blu-ray quality with both picture and sound are excellent. Its interesting that I once had the 35 mmm trailer for "The Day After Tomorrow" as its one film we ran at the cinema, but no idea what happened to it, although it was very short.

"The Day After Tomorrow" came out way back in 2004, I can't help but feel that due to to climate change we are seeing at present, this film does make you think where we are going. Although certainly not as extreme as shown in the film, it is food for thought.

I remember taking Steven to the cinema to see this one when he was young, we both enjoyed it and to this day we still do, watched blu-ray on my own the other night

[Graham Ritchie]

Its not the first time I have watching this amazing footage on blu-ray projected using the Epson VP, and it certainly wont be the last. It really looks fantastic. I would say the best record of "Apollo 11" I have ever seen and would highly recommend to anyone thinking of getting the blu-ray.

[Mike Newell]

The Raven with Boris and Bela . Good set if you get them at a reasonable price. Here are 6 volumes of horror movies.

[Graham Ritchie]

If you like nice family friendly films this is a good one 2011, watched again last night.

[Patrick Walsh]

Just watched the 1943 Titanic film, made in Germany, the new blu-ray release is very good with the sound being alot clearer and the picture being cleaned up of alot, also the special features are very good including the 1920s short filmed onboard Olympic Titanic's older sister.

Two night ago I have watched this blu-ray a few times now, mostly in 3D which looks brilliant on the Epson VP, The other night it was the 2D version, not as good as the 3D but still fun to watch.

Mike,

I haven't seen this, but I remember Spider Baby was one of CineSea co-founder John Black's favorite films of all time. He was so happy when the DVD was first released. He would have loved this Blu-ray's special features.

[Mike Newell]

Spider Baby. Seriously weird and one of Lon Chaney’s last roles. Documentaries are well worth watching.

[Douglas Meltzer]

Thanks, Graham. I'll look for these.

Hi Doug

The biggest of all the changes in "Alien" was Ridley Scott addition of the cocoon scene, where Ripley discovers Dallas, also with "Aliens" the added story of "Hadley Hope" and Newt's family who discover the alien ship, which was totally missing in the original is now added, which I think gives it more story to it, also added are the sentry guns. Although the original film is good in itself, according to James Cameron, this extended version was the one he wanted to release at the time, but due to the running time, was forced to cut it back, so its great to see those additions as the director originally intended the film to be.

[Douglas Meltzer]

Graham,

What is the big difference in the director's cut?

[Graham Ritchie]

Screen shots from "Alien" the directors cut blu-ray taken two night ago.
