Impressively, the top streaming services that we tested all managed to perform well, with a detailed Full HD picture that you’d be more than happy with. When you fire up the Blu-ray and start looking at the differences, you notice that they’re very subtle, but the disc-based format is better. I’m convinced Steve McQueen (the living director, not the deceased actor) would be a household name if not for some atrocious studio marketing decisions. McQueen is a true multihyphenate, winning the Turner Prize and working as an official war artist in Iraq before making his first feature film. That film, 2008’s Hunger, premiered at Cannes and won McQueen the Caméra d’Or — making him the first British director to do so. He followed with Shame and 12 Years a Slave, the latter winning the Academy Award for Best Picture. Switching to a different part of the scene, you can see that the lady in red’s dress has less detail in the streaming version, losing some of its creases and finer detail. Colour from the Blu-ray version is better across the entire frame, with the streaming versions often looking a little drab in some areas. Before we get into the testing, it’s worth looking at the specifications for Blu-ray and streaming services. On paper, Blu-ray is certainly the quality winner, with the standard supporting video encoded using H.264 at a resolution of 1,920×1,080, delivered at a bit-rate of up to 40Mbit/s.Directed by Benny Chan ( Who Am I?) and produced by Johnnie To ( Election, Throw Down), the Hong Kong action film takes the familiar “rich girl and poor boy on the run” formula and elevates it with effervescent performances and inventive cinematography. If you crave late-’80s/early-’90s action films, this movie lands right in your wheelhouse. For the week of June 2nd, Warner Home Entertainment is bringing Andy and Lana Wachowski's high-profile flop Jupiter Ascending to Blu-ray. Other titles include HBO's complete-series set of The Wire, Disney's surprisingly compelling sports drama McFarland, USA, ...

HDMI cable - use this to connect your PVR to your TV to display channels and recorded shows from your PVR. Cleaning Up" (Episode 12) with Simon and writer George P. Pelecanos. It's a shame there's not more, or other extras entirely, The disc is rounded out by trailers for other films in the Walker library, stills, and a short documentary on the late Keith, whose only horror credits were those in Walker films, along with her final role in the Walker-influenced “Dr. Terrible’s House of Horrible” television series. It’s a fitting tribute to an underrated actress, and one whose abilities move FRIGHTMARE from a solid little horror film to a genuinely entertaining one.Synapse’s Blu-ray (it’s also on DVD, but LIVE IN THE NOW, MAN!) is the perfect example of what makes the format so great and so continuingly necessary for collectors even in the age of streaming media. More than the mess of a film, the Blu-ray’s special features give the audience insight into why the film feels so off. “The Ultimate Nightmare: The Making of Curtains” is a retrospective documentary featuring director Richard Ciupka, actresses Donaldson and Griffin, editor Michael MacLaverty, effects artist Greg Cannom and composer Paul Zaza, and everyone interviewed is wonderfully candid, very open to speaking about the behind-the-scenes issues the film had and, most prominently, the conflicts between the visions of director Ciupka and producer Peter R. Simpson, one that ended with Simpson shooting additional footage and re-editing the film and causing Ciupka to take his name off of the project and substituting the name Vernon’s character in the film!

Prologue" (Episode 6) with stars Dominic West and Michael K. Williams, and "Port in a Storm" (Episode 12) with co-producer with editor Katie Sanford, producer Karen Thorson and actor Jim True-Frost, "Margin of Error" (Episode 6) with director Dan GANG WAR IN MILAN stars Eurotrash regular Antonio Sabato as Salvatore, a grocer in Milan who also serves as a pimp, controlling a good percentage of the saleable female flesh in the organized crime-ridden area. His nice little prostitution business is interrupted when one of his best girls (“She makes more in a day than the Queen of Holland!” he bellows) is found dead in the pool of a fitness club he frequents. The Last Word (HD/SD, 27 minutes): This 2008 DVD documentary looks into the crumbling, tabloid-driven worldIs it even possible for George Romero to be underrated? We all know the director for popularizing the modern zombie genre ( Night of the Living Dead). But he also revived that genre ( Dawn of the Dead), and created beloved horror anthologies for both TV ( Tales from the Darkside) and film ( Creepshow). Romero produced such a haul of great horror that it’s a challenge for many fans to reach the bottom. The House That Screamed is pitched as Suspiria meets Psycho. The trouble with a pitch like this is the film in question can’t possibly live up to the comparison. Technically, that’s true here. No, The House That Screamed isn’t as good as two of the best horror movies ever made. But damn, it gets close.
