EAST OF EDEN (1955)

 

 

 

 

Based on John Steinbeck’s novel and directed by Elia Kazan, East of Eden was James Dean’s breakout big-screen performance, one that will forever be remembered in Hollywood history. In the Salinas Valley in and around World War I, Cal Trask feels he must compete against overwhelming odds with his brother for the love of their father. Cal is frustrated at every turn, from his reaction to the war, how to get ahead in business and in life, and how to relate to his estranged mother.

RIO BRAVO (1959)

 

 

 

 

 

 

On one side is an army of gunmen dead set on springing a murderous cohort from jail. On the other is Sheriff John T. Chance (John Wayne) and two deputies: a recovering drunkard (Dean Martin) and an old codger (Walter Brennan). Also in their ragtag ranks are a trigger-happy youth (Ricky Nelson) and a woman with a shady past (Angie Dickinson) – and her eye on Chance. Director Howard Hawks lifted the Western to new heights with Red River and does it again here.

VIOLET EVERGARDEN: The Movie - Japanese Anime (2018)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Several years have passed since the end of The Great War. As the radio tower in Leidenschaftlich continues to be built, telephones will soon become more relevant, leading to a decline in demand for Auto Memory Dolls. Even so, Violet Evergarden continues to rise in fame after her constant success with writing letters. However, sometimes the one thing you long for is the one thing that does not appear.

 

Violet Evergarden Movie follows Violet as she continues to comprehend the concept of emotion and the meaning of love. At the same time, she pursues a glimmer of hope that the man who once told her, "I love you," may still be alive even after the many years that have passed.

THE LAST WAVE (1977) Slipcase only available for the first run.

 

 

 

 

Internationally acclaimed filmmaker Peter Weir explores a startling world on the brink of apocalypse in The Last Wave, a time and place where Mother Nature and human nature are destined to collide in catastrophic disaster. When lawyer David Burton (Richard Chamberlain), is assigned a case to defend a group of indigenous Australian men, he is unprepared for the nightmares and dreamscapes ahead. Accused of murdering one of their own, the men stand trial amidst suspicious circumstances and, as Burton becomes plagued by unsettling visions, he is drawn to the mysterious Chris Lee for answers to his torment. As the erratic climate turns dangerous, Burton senses a greater power at play, where tribal customs and the ancient ideas of Dreamtime may be more than just an ominous warning. Featuring atmospheric cinematography by Oscar® winner Russell Boyd, The Last Wave is a haunting journey into the depths of the unknown, where dreams and nightmares conspire as one, now presented in stunning 4K UHD for the first time.

Now that I'm back into collecting Physical Media, I've been looking around to see what I've missed. One SteelBook that caught my eye, is the TOP GUN: Maverick release from Paramount. Collector's worldwide say that its a really nice offering, with a glossy finish. I already have the film in my iTunes library, but after reading Casimir Harlow's 10/10 review of the 4K Ultra HD disc at AV Forums UK, I decided that I need both the film and the SteelBook in my collection.

 

I searched the websites of all of the online retailers that I have used before. The SteelBook was a General release in the UK, but all retailers had sold out. It was released at the end of October 2022 over there. I finally found one at JB Hi-Fi NZ, which may be the only retailer with any in stock. The Christchurch store didn't have any, so I had to order online and hope that it arrives undamaged.

 

Here is the link to Casimir Harlow's glowing review of the 4K Ultra HD disc: Top Gun: Maverick - 4K Ultra HD Review

My TOP GUN: Maverick SteelBook arrived today in a padded mailer and it is in mint condition. Gonna insert the disc into my player this afternoon. 

 

If any of you would like to comment on 4K Ultra HD discs (not film reviews), that you have recently bought, I reckon that this thread is as good as any to post in.

 

I have really got the collecting bug back again. Ordered three films from the Buy 2 Get 1 free JBAU sale yesterday.

 

Jungle Cruise (2021), West Side Story (2021) and a guilty pleasure of mine; Alita Battle Angel (2019). $NZ66.53 shipped, so $NZ22 each.
