Joni Wiljami 1,208 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 @ JoeyThere are many great films (with great music of course) in your list, that you don't "have" or "want" like Memoirs and SPR.Does that mean you don't like the films and their music or you have them on DVD and no need to upgrade to BLU?

ConcertAttendee 23 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Super happy you did this. AND that you are updating it. Thanks much. Good to see I am not the only one who is keeping a John Williams on Blu Ray collection.Bummer about some of them being Japanese and European releases only.Presumed Innocent I heard has a good transfer on Blu Ray, but I have heard that Witches of Eastwick was a horrible transfer. At least on the double disc with Practical Magic. That's one of my favorites too. I hope it gets a better release someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmmusic 2,172 Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share Posted March 8, 2014 Was there a seperate thread for Far and Away Bluray? I'm searching but it doesn't come up with anything.Anyway, here's the review of the BLuray:http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Far-and-Away-Blu-ray/37218/#ReviewJudging from the screenshots this looks quite good! I'm excited because I love the movie!Jason I remember you haven't seen it yet. You should definitely give it a chance!Williams's score is agreeably preserved, retaining sharp instrumentation and feeling, reaching big at times while developing a deep sound and wide reach.

Not Mr. Big 4,730 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Okay, it's not a "mess" per say but it's still pretty underwhelming. They obviously used the DVD transfer as the basis for this one and the result is a murky, definition free image. The wrong aspect ratio is the cherry on top.

filmmusic 2,172 Posted April 24, 2014 Author Share Posted April 24, 2014 Not Bluray news, but since this is a new release of a rare film in DVD for the first time ever, thought to write it here.Recently released this month, from FOX Cinema Archives in DVD-R.

Thor 8,238 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 The film is pure nonsense from start to finish -- and very sexist -- but it's worth it for the scene with the dog stealing the dinosaur bone & Williams' mambo.Glad to see it get some form of release. It was the first Williams film that started his association with wacky comedies in the 60s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmmusic 2,172 Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 review of THE TERMINAL Bluray with 40 screenshots, which comes "Very highly recommended" !http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/The-Terminal-Blu-ray/44111/#Reviewvideo & audio: 4.5/5John Williams' score is rather light throughout, and the presentation is true; it's nicely defined and airy, effortlessly flowing into the stage and supported by both strong clarity at the top and middle and a nice little weight at the bottom.It seems an excellent release! I love grain so much and I'm glad that they kept it!!the colors seem that are in the teal side, as usual with new Blurays and restorations. I don't remember though if this was the color palette originally, or if it was more in the blue side.included:In Flight Service: The Music of The Terminal (SD, 5:53): A glimpse into Composer John Williams' music and contributions.This will be perhaps one of those few times, that I'll buy a film that i'm not so crazy about, just because it has a stellar release!P.S.: Oh, I really hope ALWAYS (1989) receives such treatment!
