Star Wars IV: A New Hope (Limited Edition) Discount !!

Title : Star Wars IV: A New Hope (Limited Edition)
Category: Movies
Brand: Star Wars
Item Page Download URL : Download Movie
Rating : 3.9


Description : This particular Star Wars IV: A New Hope (Limited Edition) works fantastic, simple to operate and also alter. The cost of this wa lower when compared with other areas My spouse and i investigates, and never much more than related product

This specific item provides surpass own anticipation, this place has chaned into a amazing buy for personally, The idea arrived properly and also speedily Star Wars IV: A New Hope (Limited Edition)


For the first time ever and for a limited time only, the enhanced versions of the Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi will be available individually on DVD. Plus, these 2-Disc DVD's will feature a bonus disc that includes, for the first time ever on DVD, the original films as seen in theaters in 1977, 1980 and 1983.The 2006 limited-edition two-disc release of George Lucas's epic space fantasy Star Wars is not only the first time the movie has been officially available by itself on DVD. It marks the first-ever DVD release of Star Wars as it originally played in theaters in 1977. What does that mean exactly? Well, for starters, the initial title crawl proclaims that this is just Star Wars, not Episode IV, A New Hope. Second, the film is without the various "improvements" and enhancements Lucas added for the theatrical rerelease in 1997 as well as the DVD premiere in 2004. So no more critters and droids scurrying around the port of Mos Eisley when Luke and Obi-Wan Kenobi first arrive, no meetings between Han Solo and Jabba the Hut and between Luke and Biggs (extraneous scenes that were cut in 1977), no enhanced explosions during the final reel, and--most importantly to some fans--no more of Greedo shooting first in the bar. Instead Han is free to be the scoundrel and not even let Greedo squeeze off a shot.

What do you lose by watching the 1977 version? Dolby Digital 5.1 EX sound, for one thing (only 2.0 Surround here). Digital cleanup for another--Tatooine looks like it's been coated with an additional layer of sand cloud. But for home-theater owners, the biggest frustration will be from the non-anamorphic picture. On a widescreen TV, an anamorphically enhanced (16x9) picture at a 2.35:1 aspect ratio will fill the screen with the exception of small black bars on the top and bottom. The original edition of Star Wars, however, is not anamorphically enhanced (sometimes referred to as "4:3 letterbox"), so on a widescreen TV it will have large black bars on the top, the bottom, and the sides unless you stretch the picture (and distort it in the process, especially considering the substandard picture quality). If you're watching on a standard square-shaped (4:3) TV, though, you won't notice a difference.

Yes, it's true that serious home-theater lovers who want spectacular sound and anamorphically enhanced picture can always watch the 2004 version of the movie also included in this set. But chances are good that they already picked up the trilogy edition of all three films, so their decision to buy the 2006 two-disc edition depends on how much they want the original film. The official LucasFilm stance is that this is an individual release of the 2004 version of Star Wars: Episode IV, A New Hope, and the 1977 version of the film is merely a "bonus feature." Common speculation is that the only reason the original versions are seeing the official light of day at all is to undercut the booming black market for the laserdisc version. Star Wars fans will have to decide for themselves if that's worth the purchase. --David Horiuchi

Features :

  • Running Time: 123 minutes
  • Disc 1 - Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope
  • Disc 2 - Original theatrical (1977) version of Star Wars

Review :
Restoration versus Cartoonization
I am one of those geeks who was ten years old when Star Wars came out (note: it was not originally called "Episode IV.") I watched it in the theater perhaps a dozen times. It was the most amazing thing I had ever seen.

This release contains two DVDs: the version that Lucas has been tinkering with, and on a bonus disc, the original movie in 4:3 letterbox, taken from the best-available videodisc masters.

About that "tinkering." The 2004 version of Episode 4 looks, for the most part, quite gorgeous. The _restoration_ that Lucasfilm did is impressive: the blacks are blacker, the whites whiter, the color richer, the contrast improved all around, and the soundtrack is great. The dirt and scratches are gone, the shaky color very solid.

However, at some point Lucas crossed over from "restoration" into making a new movie. That's fine; he has the right to do so. But for him to say that the original Star Wars is not really what he had in mind, when it was one of...
We're all STILL waiting for the unaltered, original, Star Wars.
Why are they still selling the "Special Edition" as if it were the original? Don't they usually call that a "Director's Cut" or an "Unrated Version?"

Amazon: A little more truth in advertising, please.

Disney: It's time to scrape that Lucas off your shoe. Distribute the original version, or at least a digitally enhanced original version, along with this Director's Cut. Star Wars is film history, treat it with some dignity.

Turned a five-star movie into a four-star movie
I'm not going to bother to review the movie. Unless you've been living on Tattooine for the last quarter century--and maybe even if you have--you've seen it. But here is the Special Edition: were the improvements worth it?

Yes. And no. Specifically, they fixed up parts of the final battle that needed fixing, for although the special effects team labored heroically in 1977 some shots were just beyond them. There are moments where a fighter pilot cries "He's on my tail! I can't shake him!" and in the old version we'd cut to an exterior shot of ships moving slowly and awkwardly. Here the ships dart about dramatically. Some of the explosions have been enhanced, and the early shots of the many ships flying in formation look much better. The whole battle feels bigger. No matter how you slice it, this part of the film is an improvement.

But for the rest of the movie, I have doubts. Do we really need to meet Jabba here? It does nothing but steal thunder from...

Alfred Hitchcock: The Essentials Collection - Limited Edition [Blu-ray] Big Discount

Title : Alfred Hitchcock: The Essentials Collection - Limited Edition [Blu-ray]
Category: Movies
Brand: UNI DIST CORP. (MCA)
Item Page Download URL : Download Movie
Rating : 4.7
Buyer Review : 294

Description : This kind of Alfred Hitchcock: The Essentials Collection - Limited Edition [Blu-ray] works great, user friendly and also alter. The price of this wa much lower than other places My partner and i investigates, rather than considerably more than related item

This type of thing provides surpasses the anticipation, that one has become a fantastic replace on personally, The idea appeared safely as well as swiftly Alfred Hitchcock: The Essentials Collection - Limited Edition [Blu-ray]


Universally recognized as the Master of Suspense, the legendary Alfred Hitchcock directed some of cinema’s most thrilling and unforgettable classics. Alfred Hitchcock: The Essentials Collection features five iconic films from the acclaimed director’s illustrious career including Rear Window, Vertigo, North by Northwest, Psycho and The Birds each digitally restored from high resolution film elements. Starring Hollywood favorites such as James Stewart, Cary Grant, Grace Kelly, Anthony Perkins, Janet Leigh, Tippi Hedren, Eva Marie Saint, Kim Novak and Rod Taylor, this essential collection captures the most memorable moments in the career of a true cinematic master.


Review :
In Search of VERTIGO.
Before Blu-ray, the very best home video version of Vertigo was the anamorphic DVD that Universal sold only as one of the 14 Hitchcock titles in the Masterpiece Collection. (I believe this collection also had the only anamorphic DVD version of Psycho.) It appears that Universal has released its Blu-ray version of Vertigo only as part of two collections: The Masterpiece and The Essentials collections.

I am glad that Universal has made Vertigo available in its far less expensive Essentials Blu-ray collection. In my opinion, Vertigo is not the greatest film ever made, but it is of special interest to me because of its San Francisco locations and overall Bay Area setting. Vertigo, along with Shadow of a Doubt and The Birds may also be of interest to Northern California natives. Anyway, here are my quality ratings of the 5 films contained in the Essentials Collection in order of their appeal:

1. North By Northwest: I have seen nearly every Hitchcock film and this one...
Hitch at the apex of his career
Though he was an undisputed genius of the cinema, not everyone needs the complete Hitchcock features. If you're a keen fan, they're available on DVD in large, rather expensive box sets: the 15-disc Masterpiece, nine-disc Signature, and eight-disc Premiere Collections (these don't include his "non-Hitchcockian" silent films and talkies from the 1920s and early 30s). But many Hitchcock lovers recall the five films on this reasonably-priced five-disc set most fondly, and they are without question among his finest achievements, all of them produced in Hollywood between 1954 and 1963.

Presented with a few interesting extras and options, the DVDs will do nicely for many folks -- though not for the angry Blu-ray aficionados who've given the box single-star ratings. This may come as a shock to them, but some people who are just discovering Hitch have ordinary DVD players and 32-inch TVs and are not planning to spend thousands to upgrade their collections or their equipment. If you...
Don't think twice about buying this set if you want to see "Vertigo" at its best!
I have just received this item. I already had owned all of these movies, all but one in the "Masterpiece" DVD collection, also offered by Universal. My reason to purchase the present set was to own "Vertigo" in the High Definition Blu Ray format. It is one of my favorite movies, and recently named the best of all time by the British Film Institute. Filmed in VistaVision, the large frame format would seem to provide an excellent substrate for high resolution images. Within a few minutes, it was obvious how wonderful this new Blu Ray transfer is, compared to the already excellent DVD version. The mosquito noise, seen on the DVD, has vanished, revealing absolutely crystal-clear images- one can read the license plates on most of the cars, and even the small newsprint Scotty is perusing, while eavesdropping on Kim Novak, as she leaves her apartment. As importantly, color fidelity, and particularly color saturation, is awesome. Certainly, we have to thank Mr...

Review :
Batfans rejoice! Warner Home Video got most of the tiny details right!
Well, this could have been a hack job and fans of the 60's Batman TV series wouldn't have minded much. We would have just been happy to have this series in any way possible.

But, I'm happy to report that Warner Brothers really spent the money and gave us fans the (mostly) definitive version of the series! It looks absolutely fantastic, and for hardcore fans of the Adam West's Batman, please read on.

Ever since this set was announced, many fans were wondering what it would contain. And while Amazon's description includes some of the details, it doesn't really get into the finer points.

Here's a list of what harcore fans of the series might care about:

1. Yes, the Batgirl presentation reel/pilot IS included! (This is the short, 10-minute film that was made to introduce the character to the network brass.). The picture quality of this film is not as good as the main series (with scratches and slightly faded color), but it looks better than...
If you only knew what it took to release this you'd stop complaining & show your gratitude for such an amazing release
I've read so many PRE-release reviews ranting about the price of this set. Well, if you don't like the cost, then enjoy your bootlegs and stop your b*tching, because no one's forcing you to buy it. Furthermore, if you take the time to read this....

http://www.wired.com/2014/11/batman-home-video-finally/

...you'll understand the frustrating yet compelling truth of the delay that mentions the thousands upon thousands of personal dollars a person spent in an effort to see this release. Otherwise, neither 20th nor DC/WB would have budged, and this page wouldn't exist for you brats to whine ceaselessly. Now, on to an actual review of the set.

I started with season one disc one, and from that first scene in Moldavia, I could not believe how rich, deep, and clear the colors, the sharpness of detail and the great labor taken to restore this to such high quality. Even the stock footage used in episodes appears fresh and pristine. All subsequent episodes viewed...
Complete, uncut, and visually stunning--previews shown at Comic-Con 2014
I attended the Comic-Con panel on July 24, 2014, which featured Adam West, Julie Newmar, and Burt Ward, as well as clips from the Blu-ray release and information on extras. I can confirm that the Limited Edition Blu-Ray will include never before seen photos, a Hot Wheels Batmobile, and several featurettes on the disks. The episodes themselves look gorgeous--scratches cleaned up, colors corrected, modest sharpening done. At the split screens showing the old TV broadcast vs. the new Blu-Ray, the improvements were stunning. This will be a "must-own" for physical media. Episodes will be complete and uncut. They even showed cameos by Dick Clark, the Green Hornet and Kato, and Bill Dana as José Jimenez. Fans will not be disappointed.

UPDATE:
Here's an update on the set after actual delivery:
The Blu-ray completely lives up to the picture quality shown at Comic-Con. Colors pop off the screen, the image is sharp with no annoying noise or grain, even in dark...
