Hey Heath! Have you heard anything about issues with The Boogens 4K release? I just received my copy and honestly haven't even opened it yet, because it sounds like (from online reports, so grain of salt) there are issues with the master they used. No worries if you have no info, but I know you may have a contact there. :) Take care.
ODDS AGAINST TOMORROW is one of my absolute favorite examples of film noir. I've watched it more times than I can count. In addition to the top-notch cast, I love the location shooting in NYC and upstate New York (where the bank heist takes place), as it perfectly captures a very real late 1950s atmosphere. I plan to buy this new re-release if only to get the new extras added to it.
Kino-Lorber is the best. The reason is the sheer number of great releases and also because of the number of audio commentary tracks released with their films.
Out of all these titles, the thing I am most stoked to check out is the John Alton book you recommended. I do film photography and love finding older books on the subject that I haven't encountered yet. Thanks Heath!
Not seeing anything that really pops the cork for me this month(*) But I'm still working through a stack of Kino releases I recently purchased, and each one is a gem of presentation. I love these guys. A friend of mine dropped me a line as soon as he saw "The Road to Hong Kong" was arriving - (*) that's one I'm likely to go for myself, especially after hearing extras had been added to the disc. Hope to see more former Olive titles start sliding in the Kino release schedule. The out-of-print resurrections are always wonderful news. Thanks, Kino! And thanks for all the reporting, Heath
There was also a new 4K release of Scarlet Street that was released on Jan. 30th. Can’t wait for my pre-order to arrive. Maybe your copy hasn’t arrived yet? Otherwise, thanks for the video, great releases!
Always enjoy these Kino Lorber updates. Man, there were a lot of blu-ray reissues this month (originally released by KL, Olive, and ClassicFlix). Don Rickles was in RUN SILENT, RUN DEEP.
I'll probably pick up Road to Hong Kong next time I place a Kino order. I have the original release from Olive, but this will put my "Road To" collection into a bit more order, having them all from Kino :) Boogens looks like a fun one as well, might grab a copy. Thanks, Heath!
Another nice job Heath. Just watched KL's release of Bring Me The Head of Alfredo Garcia. What a great, nasty movie and a quality copy with some nice extras. A worthy purchase to be sure!
The Star Trek episode is "Balance of Terror", and, yes, Mark Lenard (i.e. Spock's father and Urko in the TV version of "Planet of the Apes") played the Romulan Commander.
I look forward to your move to do diverse topics too ! Like yourself I love comics and music !! Along with Cherry Red for old music reissues , Madfish is another favorite for complete catalog music box sets . The main labels do good work too , but the music boutique labels are also good (just like for movies / home media.) Kino keeps doing amazing work with new editions and new reissues of prior catalog releases. To circle back to run silent run deep / Star Trek ….. Balance of Terror (and I think Run Silent) featured “evil” captains who weren’t evil , but dutiful to their nations - but realized the folly of war and regret of being adversaries to opposing military leaders they had enormous respect for ….. while having to control overzealous/ overly patriotic subordinates. I’ve been debating getting Run Silent new reissue for my dad ( a huge WW2 fan ….. he has a lot of WW2 films , mainly on dvd …… he has this already , and doesn’t care whether he has the most recent updated version.)
The Boogens is really fun. I learned about it from Good Bad Flicks and was able to pick up the Olive realese. Im interested to hear how the picture looks on these.
The picture on The Boogens is a little soft, but that's inherent in the source elements. Daylight shots look a little sharper than night shots, which is often a characteristic of film. The whole thing does look very filmic and is a moderate upgrade over 1080p HD. Lower budget movies often bear some of these characteristics, even in UHD. Kindergarten Cop looks fantastic. Effects shots and composite shots, such as the credits, are a little soft, but most of the film looks crisp, clear, very filmic, and the Dolby Vision HDR adds a nice depth of color that doesn't seem revisionist, but adds to the film.
Hey Bro. I’m having hard time buying my movies 🍿 lately. I’m having hard time organizing everything in my memory. Like a few days ago I got like 40 titles and I apparently bought a movie that I already had. 😳 are there any apps you can recommend that I can download and know what I have and don’t have. By the way the dvd sleeve covers was such a great idea. It’s working for me.
I looooooove THE BOOGENS. The commercial scared the F outta me as a little kid and when I finally watched it on video, I found a lot to like. Super limited budget but pretty well plotted. Now, if someone would only do a great presentation of SUGAR HILL...
I believe they're working on those Bava films, but I don't have any specific info. Madhouse was a Fox title which is now under the Disney umbrella, and Disney isn't playing ball with much of anyone right now.
I got the Noir set, the Bardot film and the British war double feature. British war films from the 1940s & 50s are great. The Bardot film is silly fluff but fun.
Kindergarten Cop is so good. I remember being surprised to see that it was rated R as an adult because I watched it so much as a kid. Monk was ok. I’m a bigger Pshyc-O
It would suck if people buy the MONK discs month by month - and then at the end of the run they release a box set version. The month by month buyers would miss out on the box.
Some of them weren't even late night talk shows, they came on in the afternoon. I think Merv Griffin was syndicated and came on whenever the local TV station aired it.
I hope Kindergarten Cop was handled well. I've only purchased one BD title from Kino Lorber and that was "Career Opportunities". Previously I only had the DVD in 4:3 pan & scan :(. I was very disappointed in Kino Lorber "Career Opportunities" because the lip sync was clearly off / out of sync. Very hard to enjoy like that. Otherwise, the KL release looked really good.
I've watched that Career Opportunities disc several times and never noticed any sync issues or heard anyone else talking about them either. You're probably noticing ADR dialogue that was post-synced into certain scenes that had poor audio. Kindergarten Cop looks great. It's imperfect (film is an imperfect medium) but the movie has never looked or sounded so good on home media.
For the most part Heath, Kino puts out great releases but sometimes they REALLY screw up like with To Live and Die in La. The 2.0 audio track is abysmal!!!
This is the first I've heard anyone complain about the audio on To Live and Die In L.A., and in fact, most people have lots of praise for it. There's also a 5.1 track. I'm not sure what's up with all the "Kino Lorber screwed up" comments from fans these days. These distributors get the elements directly from the licensor/studio.
The 5.1 track isn't great either. The 4k transfer is hit and miss. Scratches and dirt. Maybe from the source. The DVD and Arrow blu ray are better and the best and truest audio is only to be found on the Image laserdisc.
It does come with a blu in the 4K package. You can always wait until a sale and get it for about $18 as well. At least that way you have both in case you ever upgrade.
I would encourage you to always give the distributors you enjoy the benefit of the doubt. They love the movies as much as we do, and if there's money to be made, they're going to try to make it. Kindergarten Cop just got a Blu-ray release from Universal in 2019 and you can bet conversations were had behind closed doors about Universal not outsourcing a film they so recently issued on Blu-ray. Universal doesn't want to compete with themselves. But since they had no plans to release a 4K, they let Kino Lorber license it. It's amazing that there's a Blu-ray included, all things considered.

Take care.
Kino needs to put up Sudden Death 4K and Uncle Buck 4K for pre-order!
Kino is helping to keep what I call catalogue titles alive and available 🎉
ODDS AGAINST TOMORROW is one of my absolute favorite examples of film noir. I've watched it more times than I can count.

Can't wait for Uncle Buck, Bad Lieutenant, Sudden Death, and the Ilsa Films!
Did somebody say Roy Scheider? Mine arrived in the mail yesterday! Lol Thanks for the shout out, buddy!

James Dean has one line in Has Anyone Seen My Gal, playing a teenager of course!

Great work once again Heath! I appreciate the hard work! God bless and stay safe!
I really enjoy your content Heath, keep up the great work.
Hmm, The Outside Man is the pick of the bunch for me, looks interesting.
Great collection 😊
The Star Trek episode that you are thinking of is 'Ballance Of Terror"
The Boogens is really fun. I learned about it from Good Bad Flicks and was able to pick up the Olive realese. Im interested to hear how the picture looks on these.

Kino completely botched this one. Keep your Olive.
Heath your collection is the best...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love it...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Run Silent, Run Deep sounds cool. I’ve got a bunch of Robert Wise movies on my watchlist. Looking forward to The Andromeda Strain, and The Haunting.
Balance of Terror is the Star Trek episode . One of my favorite Star Trek episodes for the complex portrayal of war !!!!

I do see all 7 of the "Road to..." movies on Kino's site!
"Sorry, that got kinda husky..."
I picked up the road to Morocco Bob Hope at The Salvation Army Thrift store in Melbourne Australia.
He Walked By Night. Curious about that one now
Hell yeah I'm into throat singing!!!
Any word of Kino re releasing out of print Mario Bava films. Or any word on Vincent Price Madhouse release
I believe they're working on those Bava films, but I don't have any specific info. Madhouse was a Fox title which is now under the Disney umbrella, and Disney isn't playing ball with much of anyone right now.
This Halloween I’m gonna be S&M hunter
I got the Noir set, the Bardot film and the British war double feature. British war films from the 1940s & 50s are great. The Bardot film is silly fluff but fun.
Kindergarten Cop is so good. I remember being surprised to see that it was rated R as an adult because I watched it so much as a kid.
Monk was ok. I’m a bigger Pshyc-O
Kindergarten Cop isn't rated R.
I love both Monk and Psych.
It would suck if people buy the MONK discs month by month - and then at the end of the run they release a box set version. The month by month buyers would miss out on the box.
Do you know if Kino Lorber still has Gunfight at Dodge City in print?
Sadly, no. Hopefully it comes back into print at some point.
Maybe I should start watching old late night shows
Some of them weren't even late night talk shows, they came on in the afternoon. I think Merv Griffin was syndicated and came on whenever the local TV station aired it.
Why no SCARLET STREET 4k?
It hadn't arrived. Now it has. Tune in to my next live stream and we'll talk about it.
I hope Kindergarten Cop was handled well. I've only purchased one BD title from Kino Lorber and that was "Career Opportunities". Previously I only had the DVD in 4:3 pan & scan :(.

Tragic there’s no blu-ray only release for Kindergarten Cop. Big fail by KL.
It does come with a blu in the 4K package. You can always wait until a sale and get it for about $18 as well. At least that way you have both in case you ever upgrade.
@AnthonyErtl Do you not think they'd have released that by itself if they could have? Shaming them only makes fandom look ill-informed and petty.
@@CerealAtMidnightThanks sir for the reply but did I miss where you explained why they could not issue a Blu-ray only release? Curious now.
@@griffredux9966Not everyone’s a Yank, bud. My country is gouging for the 4k.
I would encourage you to always give the distributors you enjoy the benefit of the doubt. They love the movies as much as we do, and if there's money to be made, they're going to try to make it.
