Haven't Midnight Legacy only released one thing so far?

Agree 100% - it looks fantastic to me; I can't imagine how it could look much better, just maybe different. That must be why I have never heard of them, then. |

Midnight Legacy released the Italian ALIEN cash in ALIEN 2 (aka ALIEN TERROR) on blu-ray and it looked superb. Pity the film wasn't. They have promised to release some obscure Italian exploitation movies on BD (including some Mattei!) but they seem to be taking forever to do so. The guy who run's ML is very critical of other companies BD releases, especially Shriek Show, and lot of these bloggers suck up to him by bashing SS and then posting their 'review' on ML's FB page so they can get a pat on the head. Good boy! |

Personally I think it's pretty bad form to be slagging off other companies, especially when they don't really deserve it eg. Arrow, Shriek Show etc. especially when they are - imho - doing a great job. |

in fairness to midnight legacy, they have put there money where their mouth is so to speak and their alien 2 does look bloody marvelous. I agree that its unprofessionl to trash other companies ala camera obscura, though I had some reservations regarding the one media blasters blu i owned, versus. Which looked nowhere near up to what it could be, but then the dvd looked inferior to the brit tartan release. I think whats funniest about the whole thing was the amazon forums, where some of the more extreme 'critics' were already lauding camera obscuras release, in spite of never having seen it! |

The Amazon "reviews" are hillarious....I noticed the trend to bash Arrow especially on Amazon....in fairness I own quite a few Arrow discs and never had any reason to complain, the only let down for me was Tenebre but hit and miss happens with all major labels too....Predator comes to mind.... |

As i've said elswhere, blu-ray is a new format, and mistakes will happen. I would class bwtcp as a worse release than tenebrae, not arrows fault at all but storaros. Tenebrae has issues but it dosent look a whole lot worse than the vaunted french wild side release. The weirdest one is Bay of blood, from the screen caps the arrow release does indeed look like it lacks the vivid colors of the dvd, but then I watched the film and the screen caps didn't represent the quality of the film at all. This, along with the great reviews for maniac, a film I felt didn't benefit from blu-ray at all has made me seriously question some of these comparison sites. |

I skip BWTCP as I despise a wrong ratio on any medium, so I stay with the US disc, I know this is not Arrows fault and I feel sorry that they got all the blame when it comes down to Storaro. Bay OF Blood looks good to me actually and the screens don't even come near the looks of the Blu Ray in motion. Sometimes I wonder if some "experts" tamper with the screens to please their favourites? |
