Thanks for posting that! I had looked him up a bit this weekend but there isn't a lot out there. I marked the link to read on my iPad. Thanks!



BTW, for anyone out there wondering about the included "digital" - it is for some app/site called "Movie Spree". I'm not familiar with it at all, it's not compat with MoviesAnywhere and since it doesn't have an XBOX App, I'll never use it.

So, here is a code for anyone who wants it. Let me know when it is used and I'll edit it:

Redeemed, thank you

Frustrating how The In Crowd looks better on Amazon Prime than it does on the Mill Creek disc. Hopefully this one gets a stand-alone re release in the near future.

FYI: Disc plays fine on code "B" players (despite the code "A" logo on the cover), but I overall the picture quality is pretty weak.

A/V show evidence of old DVD masters with awful unrealistic colours (at least in "Incognito" and "Diabolique",which are the ones I care about, for instance the foliage by the Seine river in "Incognito" looks day-glo), and a very crappy sound quality (I had to turn up my system to full volume and even then the mix is old old old). Cheap is the very definition for Mill Creek, I said it a thousand times and this "three-movies-on-one BD" sad release is here to confirm it.

You have to understand those were the elements provided by Morgan Creek. There is a reason Sony did not release these themselves.

Not really. Three movies in one disc,and not even using up all the available space speaks of total morons who have absolute disregard and/or respect both for their releases AND the paying customers (us). If you want another example of their sloppiness,check out the disastrous Rita Hayworth "Ultimate" Collection, I own blurays from Twilight Time (Miss Sadie Thompson,Pal Joey) which evidently used the same masters,and they look 100% better. These are cheapo releases, their encodings seem done by retards. Maybe these guys believe that collectors favour pricing over quality. Well,I don't. I ordered Powerhouse/Indicator's "Columbia Noir Volume 2" just to have a good quality copy of "Affair in Trinidad"... Mill Creek sucks, and everyone with a little respect for films and films collectors should agree with me on this. Their releases SUCK.

Mill Doodoo screwed up The Pledge, too. The picture suffers from horrible aliasing

Show me something they HAVEN'T screwed up, and I might want to take a look, because it would be a "once in a lifetime" event. Check out their "Anaconda" compared to Sony's... same master, different standards. Mill Creek is THE bottom of the barrel,as BD companies go.

Echo Bridge has always had them beat handily in that department.

What's disappointing about the American release of "The In Crowd" is that it's cut to get a PG-13 rating. I first bought the American DVD release, then bought the UK DVD release. The latter is uncut. The film is trashy fun and should have kept the original cut for release.
