'It Came From Outer Space' - Blu-Ray from Fabulous Films

Release date: December 14

"Amateur astronomer John Putnam (Richard Carlson) and his fiancée Ellen Fields (Barbara Rush) are stargazing in the desert when a spaceship bursts from the sky and crashes to the ground. Just before a landslide buries the ship, a mysterious creature emerges and disappears into the darkness. Of course, when he tells his story to the sheriff (Charles Drake), John is branded a crackpot; but before long, strange things begin to happen, and the tide of disbelief turns... Based on a story by acclaimed writer Ray Bradbury, It Came From Outer Space is a science-fiction classic that is as thought provoking and tantalising today as it was when it first “landed” on the silver screen."

Special features:
  • Feature Commentary with film historian Tom Weaver
  • The Universe According to Universal: An Original Documentary on It Came From Outer Space
  • Theatrical Trailer

A firm favourite of many on the forum

"Edgar Wright just announced on Twitter that “Scott Pilgrim vs. The World” is headed to 4K UHD in the near future!

He also confirmed Dolby Vision + Dolby Atmos supervised by the original team of sound mixer Julian Slater, colorist Stephen Nakamura, DP Bill Pope, himself and editor Paul Machliss"



Demdike@Cult Labs 24th March 2021 04:49 PM

I've only seen Scott Pilgrim once. Can't remember a thing about it.

J Harker 24th March 2021 09:20 PM

I switched it off. Awful film.

Nosferatu@Cult Labs 24th March 2021 11:15 PM

I've seen Scott Pilgrim vs. the World about six times and always find something new and funny. It's long overdue another watch and I'll buy the 4K release when it's in a 2 for £30 offer.

Looks like Screenbound will be releasing a Limited Collectors Edition of Virgin Witch. A nice accompaniment to The Haunted House of Horror and Blood on Satan’s Claw. :clap:

Yeah, the only one i've actually seen is The Silencers.

I expect they'll all be in that Modesty Blaise, Fathom, Flint style...

...With Dean Martin smoothing up to anyone in a (very short) skirt.

Stephen@Cult Labs 30th April 2021 05:45 PM

Just saw online that Young Guns II is getting a UK release. No idea from who though, but since the writer has been asked if they would do an interview, i'm assuming it's someone like 101 Films.

The only Dad's Army movie I was aware of was the one from a few years ago starring Toby Jones, Bill Nighy, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Tom Courtenay, Michael Gambon, Bill Paterson, and Daniel Mays.

I like the TV series so that might be worth a blind buy when it drops in price.

nosferatu42 21st May 2021 09:55 PM

Nevermind you also said earlier that "The Last Jedi" was the best Star Wars film ever, so you know...Shit happens.;) :lol:

Yes, and I stand by that. I also said Rogue One was my favourite and, after watching it last night, consider it to be better than any within the various trilogies.

You have to bear in mind I haven't watched these multiple times over the course of my life, developing a great affection for them. I've probably seen the original trilogy three times and the other trilogies (prequel and sequel) twice.

As I have access to them on the Disney+ streaming service, I'll probably watch them all again this year so might come to a different conclusion. Although I've only seen it once, I thought The Mandalorian was superb, a miniseries which was better than any of the films.

nosferatu42 22nd May 2021 11:56 AM

I do think Rogue One is the best of the new ones.:nod:

Rogue One and Solo for me.

The Disney trilogy is worthless junk.

Yep took legendary characters and ****ing treated them like shit.

Rob4 30th May 2021 10:21 AM

I'm with Rogue One too.

The Seven Samurai/Dirty Dozen 'gang against impossible odds' movie provides endless variations and I think it's a major reason RO resonates so much.
