Great review of Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead, thanks! I just wanted to let you know if you’re interested in the upgrade, Lumet’s power was quietly reissued by Warner Archive in correct aspect ratio. Still only DVD but better than the ancient snapper case 1.33:1. I think Dead Bang was another in that group to get the bump.

Hey Steven, in your recent review of Mary Shelley you credited Owen Richards as playing Shelley's father William Godwin. Richards is the young man who plays her (step?) brother. Mr. Godwin, as he is credited, is actually played by the excellent Stephen Dillane. Thanks for all the good work. Cheers!

Thanks for the change. Really appreciated at this time.

Referring to an Asian person (or character in a movie) as "an Oriental" is offensive.

How in the blue hell can "Gardens of Stone" be one of your favorite Coppola movies? Is "Jack" at the top of your list?

Wonder why you didn’t mention that some of the special features listed on the slipback for The Blob don’t match up with the disc. No isolated score or interview with Ricky Paull Goldin were included, though they are listed as special features.

Hi Steven,

Greetings from a new-ish fellow reviewer. I noticed you purchased this title but I have been in contact with the studio recently -- this must have been a case where both of us had the same studio on our radar (not the first time it's happened). In any case, if you want to continue with Film Movement, it's fine by me as I have more than enough to keep me busy. But you probably won't need to purchase their titles -- just e-mail Michael Krause (mkrause@foundrycomm.com) and he can send out whatever you need.

Thanks!

Noticed in your site review for the Shout Earthquake you have failed to notice the aspect ratio is cropped and incorrect at 2.20:1, assuming it is the correct 2.35:1, please update your review and score to reflect this in the hope Shout can fix and replace this error.

Hi. I wanted to let you know that Shout Factory got in touch with me concerning the audio issues mentioned in your review for Creepshow. Their reply: The 5.1 was a carryover from a previous release. We're sorry it's not as enjoyable as the 2.0, which is the theatrical audio we remastered. As of now there are no plans for a replacement disc. We recommend the 2.0 as the preferred way to watch the film.

Hello,

Was reading your review of the Halloween III re-release and looking over your helpful comparison screenshots and it seems to me that it's not just the color-grading that has been changed but the actual framing! The new release seems to have been "zoomed in" compared to the old release, can you confirm this?
