Despite my excitement to finally see it I can't see it surpassing The Innocents, which is a favourite and a rare 10/10 film for me.

The Nightcomers is hardly among my 10 best but it's far better than its reputation,but then again you can't usually beat a bit of Winner.Stephanie Beacham is definitely another huge plus,but Brando was disappointing.

Robbery is well worth a punt B_E. A British crime classic.

Deadlier than the Male is also good, however the dvd is better value as it also has Some Girls Do with it as a double header.

Shame there's still no sign of a release for Vampire Circus.

Despite this fact, I had a proper and intense trawl through tonight and ordered almost £60 worth of stuff. I do like these big sales, but they're often a little harsh on the wallet. ;)

Anyone into British crime movies should check out Robbery.

I've had the Studiocanal dvd for a few years now and have watched it a few times.

This blu is apparently 1.66:1 which is it's correct aspect ratio. The dvd is 1.33:1. It's definitely one i'll upgrade when i eventually go blu-ray.

bizarre_eye@Cult Labs 16th April 2015 07:37 PM

Coming soon...

Quatermass (John Mills) TV Series coming from Network
 
If you go to the Network Home page:
http://networkonair.com/

Click on the pop up detonator - and you get what appears to be a Hi Def trailer for the classic 1970s series of Quatermass with John Mills. Looks as though a little restoration has gone on for what is almost certainly an upcoming BD release. Day One for me.

bizarre_eye@Cult Labs 24th June 2015 10:46 AM

Network will be releasing Nigel Kneale's Quatermass series on Blu!

Quote:

A Limited Edition first run of this Blu-ray will be available in four different coloured sleeves, based on the title colour scheme of each episode. THESE SLEEVES ARE FULFILLED RANDOMLY AND SPECIFIC COLOURS ARE NOT ABLE TO BE ORDERED. Once the Limited Edition sleeves have sold out, the cover design will revert to a standard cover which matches the accompanying DVD release. -

http://networkonair.com/features/wp-...ed-3Ds-640.jpg

John Mills brings a stoic intensity to the role of Professor Bernard Quatermass in this key piece of British dystopian fiction from visionary writer Nigel Kneale. Unsettling in its vision of a crumbling society coming under alien attack, Quatermass is directed with characteristic style by BAFTA winner Piers Haggard and features the high production values associated with Euston Films. Shot on 35mm, the original negatives have been used for this stunning, brand-new High Definition restoration – a new 5.1 mix from original triple-track audio elements is also presented here alongside the original mono soundtrack.

Bernard Quatermass, former head of the British Rocket Group, lives in seclusion in western Scotland, watching in appalled silence as Britain slowly turns into a vision of violence, gang rule and governmental collapse. A desperate search for his missing granddaughter plunges him into a terrifying situation when he comes to realise that the mass disappearance of thousands of youths is nothing less than the culling of the human species by an unknown alien intelligence...

Special Features:
[] Brand-new 5.1 mix for episodic version
[] Brand-new HD restoration of The Quatermass Conclusion in its original theatrical aspect ratio
[] Music-only tracks for all four episodes
[] Episode recaps
[] Textless titles
[] Image Gallery
[] Booklet by archive TV historian Andrew Pixley

They were a while ago. However once they got the ITV deal renewed they stopped.

Actually the suggestion part of that statement might well have been Odeon, not Network.

Not happy with the pic actually. It looks a bit sloppy. I'll replace it with a better one tomorrow. :lol:

It's probably the worst movie adaptation of a Parker novel, but i still enjoyed it.

Thanks Stephen. This is all news to me.

Having looked up the novels the only ones i've seen as films are Point Blank and Payback. Both based on the novel The Hunter. Also Parker starring Jason Statham.

I had no idea Statham's Parker was the same character as the other films i've mentioned.

All three excellent films in my opinion too. :nod:

There have been quite a few movies based on the Parker novels.

Made in U.S.A. (based on The Jugger)
Point Blank (based on The Hunter)
Mise * Sac [“Pillaged”] (based on The Score)
The Split (based on The Seventh)
The Outfit (based on The Outfit)
Slayground (based on Slayground)
Payback (based on The Hunter)
Parker (based on Flashfire)

I need to seek out the rest there.

I thought you might have picked up the Sean Connery skyjack film Ransom.
