I just wanna take some time to thank you Heath. I know this particular content is getting stale for you but you do it for us. Thank you thankyou thank you
Great to see 'Paint Your Wagon' saw it in the cinema in late 1969 - and it was the first movie where I paid for my parents tickets - out of my first wage packet (I'd just got my first teaching job in Sept 1969 and they had helped me (financially) through College. Great movie with 'Wandering Star' song in it. We saw it on a pretty large screen, though not as big as the 'three-projector' screen on which we saw 'How The West Was Won' a few years earlier!
I just ordered ‘Death Rides a Horse’ and ‘A Fistful of Dynamite’. Both have great scores by Ennio Morricone. In defense of ‘Dynamite’, it varies the spaghetti western trope of a loner motivated by greed or vengeance and expands the characters to their part in a revolution. (Sean, Sean, Sean, Sean.)
Thanks again, Heath. Just ordered Laughing Policeman and Ganja and Hess from Kino. Really enjoy their packages! Just spent last weekend with the enjoyable 23 Paces to Baker Street. Terrific film, beautifully restored with amazing photography. Great deals to be found with Kino Lorber!
I'll be honest, I paused the video and looked up The Long Riders, it's a great movie and I will be adding it to my collection soon. Also here in Canada, our theater chain is having a Stanley Kubrick festival for the month of April, showing all of his feature films. I even did a press release for it, because I wanted people to know.
Great Kino update - as usual. Nick Nolte was around 37 when filming NORTH DALLAS FORTY. So he would definitely be a "grizzled veteran" as a football professional, especially in the late 70's.
LION IN WINTER was based on a very successful play, and the dialogue and situations are brilliant. Great score by John Barry. Hepburn won an Oscar for her performance. Anthony Hopkins first film..and he admits Hepburn gave him film acting lessons on the set. He is forever grateful to her..
Thanks for giving a push to The Postman. I’ve always loved this movie, and it holds up for me to this day. Yes, it could be tightened up a bit, but it’s solidly produced, acted, and that James Newton Howard score is beautiful.
You're gonna love Lion in Winter. It's become a (leftfield) Christmas favourite since I discovered it a few years ago. Hepburn and O'Toole are mesmerising. The last scene is one of my favourite ever.
I’m so happy about the re-releases! I’ll be picking up Death Rides a Horse. Also, I’m super happy about The Long Riders. These are 2 I’m planning on getting.
Just so you know, when you made your pointed look towards the camera after saying you would love to be on one of these releases for the Fillmore Box that's it cut right to Commercial and boy that couldn't have been a better shot to do it on. Cracked me up
Paint Your Wagon is a lot of fun. I've been posting on a Clint Eastwood discussion board for over 20 years, but unfortunately that movie has never been well liked on that site. It's really funny and i like it as a musician too. I admire the ambition of Kevin Costner's upcoming two part theatrical western. I saw Open Range years ago and did feel like it was a little long, but I'll be interested to see how the first part is.
I personally would rank Duck You Sucker above A Fistful of Dollars and For a Few Dollars More. I really like it. I was sorry to hear they couldn't do a new restoration like they planned.
Brain Donors!!! I love Brain Donors!!! ...I've been holding on to my VHS copy for a hundred years. You have no idea how happy this just made me. It's basically a Marx Brothers movie without the Marx Brothers. It's perfect.
“Lion in Winter” is very good and a spotlight on actors, but I get what you mean. It’s not the one I’d pop on when I’m just looking to pass the time or have some fun.
Brain Donors was a Marx Brothers tribute.....not written by the Zucker brothers, it was written by Pat Proft, who co-wrote the Naked Gun and Hot Shots movies, and also co-wrote Police Academy, Bachelor Party, Moving Violations and Real Genius. Directed by Dennis Dugan, Adam Sandler's go- to director and Richie Brockleman from The Rockford Files and the short-lived self titled spinoff.
Thanks Heath. Love The Kino Lorber and your Kino Lorber showcases. Lion in Winter is my favorite of this showcase. The actors are brilliant. The dialogue is so good. I have the kino blu already but I may go for the slip cause Im ill...Since you mentioned it. Excalibur? When why no 4k actually applies.
The last box you covered 'Paris Police 1905' no comment to add on it - but for any viewer that feels that appealing - I suggest they try to locate or watch the BBC Two TV Series 'Vienna Blood' set in a similar time period (but in Austria) with a 'Sherlock Holmes' style of crime mystery (only 9 stories)
Paramount owns John Gilbert's first Talkee his glorious night,1929 that MGM sold in 1957. Paramount has yet to put that on physical media even though it was used to re-make it as a breath of scandal in 1960.
I have a love for PAINT YOUR WAGON; I went on eBay to find the Roadshow Release program that went out with the movie. Never seen the stage production on which it is based, though my wife was in a production in her school days and she says that the only things shared between the movie and the stage musical are a few of the songs. (I understand that Jean Seberg was dubbed. I used to turn my nose up at Clint Eastwood's singing; in retrospect, though, while he suffers in comparison to Harve Presnell, he still sounds a lot better than Lee Marvin ... note how quickly they throw in the Men's Chorus in "Wanderin' Star" or "Hand Me Down That Can o'Beans") LION IN THE WINTER hits two keys for me, because it is, as has been noted more than once in the comments, a Christmas movie, but also a great movie for your Renaissance Festival enthusiast/performer. (24 years at the Kansas City RenFest.) I was amused that THE PRESIDENT'S ANALYST would be considered a "dad movie"; I haven't seen it, though the poster font looks groovy, like it's a hippie movie (maybe not ANGEL ANGEL DOWN WE GO, but, if not a hippie movie then at least a groovy movie or a Flint movie), which might make it less a "dad movie" and more like a "My Hippie Grandparents" movie.
Although I've never commented before, I have subscribed to your channel and I look forward to your Kino round-ups especially and appreciate your thoughtful insight on all the new releases. But the question I have for you is paramount (see what I did there?) Where oh where can I buy that awesome Monogram Pictures T-shirt you're wearing?! I searched the Internet and nothing is coming up and I gotta get one!! Thanks and keep on keeping on, mister.
Hey Bryan! First off, thanks for being a member! Second, the shirt came from Tee Public, but it seems to have been removed. I can't find it online anywhere now! Hopefully it pops back up soon.
I will tell you why it wasn't released on 4K, it is because they haven't released it on blu-ray before. They will then wait for you to buy that then come out with a 4K later on.
Saw "Paint Your Wagon" in the theater back in '69 at the what-the-hell-is-this? age of 11. I remember digging Lee Marvin and "They Call the Wind Mariah" grabbed me. the rest is pretty much flowed over and around me - beyond the recollection of being impressed by the scenery. The film came back to me when watching "Gangs of New York". It's a film I do not like, and as my mind was wandering, I started flashing on scenes from "Paint Your Wagon" and thinking that Scorcese was framing and staging some scenes like a big-scale musical, specifically "P.Y.W". Likely a big reason "Gangs" doesn't work for me. Love "The President's Analyst". Most of the satire is going to be lost on pretty much anyone under 50. But even for a younger audience, there are some surprises. It's like a weird mash-up of "Get Smart" and "Three Days of the Condor", with a lot of energy and color. Coburn is great, Godfrey Cambridge is even greater. Plus the always wonderful and slightly other-wordly Severn Darden. Bonus points for Jill Banner.
Ditto. Every time Kino does a new MGM deal, I keep hoping DANGER ROUTE will be part of it (as well as the goofy-but-entertaining OPERATION KID BROTHER (1967)).
Larry Buchanan, widely considered to be at the opposite end of the filmmaking spectrum from Kubrick, once told me about a time in the early 50s when he helped the young Kubrick figure out that the problem with a scene SK was editing wad the fact that he had crossed the line when shooting. He wasn't born a genius. He had to learn just like everyone. In this case he had to learn from Larry Buchanan. LOL
You are unquestionably the Kino Lorber Guru! What do you think of their Blu-ray releases of Kolchak: The Night Stalker, Kolchak: The Night Strangler, Kolchak: The Night Stalker: The Complete Series? What's your best guess (crystal ball) if they will release these on 4K... hopefully soon?
Thanks! I love the Kolchak releases from Kino. They no longer have the license for the TV movies. Looking into my crystal ball, I don’t see any Kolchak on 4K, at least not within the next five years.
While your comments about remakes is generally true, Jonathan Demme's Manchurian Candidate is an exception. I urge you to watch it & report back. I only wish KL released a regular Blu-ray, the previous old Blu-ray has poor picture quality.
How much would it cost around to get this many movies in a haul like this? Just curious to see if it would be worth it for me to start collecting and not sure if i could afford to buy titles like these.
Did all our favorite PM reviewers have a meeting and decided “no more nitty gritty 4k reviews” or did one decide to do that and everyone else was like “too hell with it”? It’s fine and all, but the timing is curious.
I think I was one of the first, but I believe we all arrived at the same place close to the same time. We've all realized that no matter what you say about a 4K, someone says you're doing it wrong.
Watched BRAIN DONORS the other week and was just... wut? It's like they went "How come nobody does a comedy like the Marx Brothers anymore?" without realizing the answer was because "Nobody else is the Marx Brothers." Wow.
Several of what I've seen from Kino lately are too dark (Columbo, Suspect Zero, and Monk). It's like they want everyone to look hispanic. Does the Cartel Bank contract insist on this? Speaking of Monk on blu-ray my search here didn't show a single video about Monk on bd, not a trailer, not a review, not a screenshot. I appreciate and buy some Kino, but getting tired of too dark. I've blind bought Nostalghia, which is a gamble since it's all about darkness and light...the light is critical.
Kino is losing lots of sales when they do not release bluray only editions of titles they put out in 4k combo packs. I would have made a nearly $100 .purchase a few days ago but there is no way in Hell ill be buying any 4k titles like Marathon man, kindergarten cop, netherworld, etc. When I have no use for the useless 4k disks. I will not subsidize that garbage.

I picked up that "Fear & Desire"! I'm such a Kubrick nut! That 8 minutes of extra footage PLUS all the shorts, made this an "Insta Purchase"!

The Lion In Winter one of my favorite Christmas movies 😊

Thanks, Heath! God bless and stay safe!
Haven't seen any of those, but I just watched I.S.S. It was pretty good. Crazy premise. I'd recommend it. Probably just a 1 time watch for me 🤙
Thanks, Heath! I've already got the Robinson Noir set! It was a must-have.
I have to pick up ‘Archangel’. One of the most aesthetically perfect examples of a modern film working in a long dead style.
I personally would rank Duck You Sucker above A Fistful of Dollars and For a Few Dollars More. I really like it. I was sorry to hear they couldn't do a new restoration like they planned.
Space: The Long Goodbye sounds terrifying. Added to the watchlist. Thanks!
Great video Heath! Definitely going to pick up Paint Your Wagon.

You are the....curator....of video disk....carry-on...sir
Simpsons have the best tribute to Paint Your Wagon. One of the funniest skits today.

That's Trad Dad a 1962 Amicus musical comedy is out on blu ray by Sony under its American title Ring a ding Rhythm.
I will tell you why it wasn't released on 4K, it is because they haven't released it on blu-ray before. They will then wait for you to buy that then come out with a 4K later on.
It’s Christmas every day at Heath’s house!

I'm still waiting for 1967s Danger Route. An Amicus film
Ditto. Every time Kino does a new MGM deal, I keep hoping DANGER ROUTE will be part of it (as well as the goofy-but-entertaining OPERATION KID BROTHER (1967)).
Larry Buchanan, widely considered to be at the opposite end of the filmmaking spectrum from Kubrick, once told me about a time in the early 50s when he helped the young Kubrick figure out that the problem with a scene SK was editing wad the fact that he had crossed the line when shooting.

@CerealAtMidnight Cheers, really appreciate the insight as was contemplating getting all of them on Blu-ray, so think I will...
Do you remember an episode of the Simpsons that parodied "Paint Your Wagon?'
I saw North Dallas Forty when it came out on a double bill with H.O.T.S....H.O.T.S. was a masterpiece.
While your comments about remakes is generally true, Jonathan Demme's Manchurian Candidate is an exception. I urge you to watch it & report back. I only wish KL released a regular Blu-ray, the previous old Blu-ray has poor picture quality.

Changing Lanes is a great movie!

Where did you get your Monogram Studios shirt? I need one.
TeePublic, I believe!
Brain Donors-funniest movie you’ve never seen.
Watched BRAIN DONORS the other week and was just... wut? It's like they went "How come nobody does a comedy like the Marx Brothers anymore?" without realizing the answer was because "Nobody else is the Marx Brothers." Wow.
Brain Donors is very much an homage to the Marx Brothers.
Whip and the body has a new master and the proper colour correction? The old Kino Lorber didn't respect original grading and colours...
Several of what I've seen from Kino lately are too dark (Columbo, Suspect Zero, and Monk). It's like they want everyone to look hispanic. Does the Cartel Bank contract insist on this? Speaking of Monk on blu-ray my search here didn't show a single video about Monk on bd, not a trailer, not a review, not a screenshot. I appreciate and buy some Kino, but getting tired of too dark. I've blind bought Nostalghia, which is a gamble since it's all about darkness and light...the light is critical.
Kino is losing lots of sales when they do not release bluray only editions of titles they put out in 4k combo packs. I would have made a nearly $100 .purchase a few days ago but there is no way in Hell ill be buying any 4k titles like Marathon man, kindergarten cop, netherworld, etc. When I have no use for the useless 4k disks. I will not subsidize that garbage.
Those movies are already on Blu-ray. The 4Ks are being sub-licensed out to Kino Lorber. In other words, the thing you want already exists.
I want the extras and commentary tracks. I am only interested in the blue ray editions of these films with the extras.
Too many movie's not lot's of time.
While I will watch most of your videos especially podcasts with Powerhouse Films etc ect ect ,maybe like most Americans you are too insular!
You say this two days after I posted an interview with the UK label Powerhouse/Indicator.
