(BD/DVD/digital copy combo, Buena Vista, Region ABC, USA) Watched this earlier today. As I suspected would be the case, it's essentially harmless fluff - technically well-made and lovely to look at (the painterly backgrounds are particularly nice), but this...

(BD, Wild Side, Region ABC, France) ...a.k.a. THE NIGHT PORTER, a.k.a. IL PORTIERE DI NOTTE. Alas, as with the only other Wild Side release I own, TENEBRAE, French subtitles are enforced when you select the original English audio track....

(BD, Criterion, Region A, USA) Given the cost involved, I tend not to pick up many of Criterion's releases. I do make the odd exception, though, and Krzysztof Kieslowski's THREE COLOURS trilogy had to be one of them. I...

(BD, 20th Century Fox/MGM, Region ABC, USA) A freebie via the PlanetAxel rewards scheme. (Did I mention I really, really don't like the cover art?) It's coded for all regions, by the way, despite being labelled as Region A...

(BD/DVD combo, Buena Vista, Region ABC/1, USA) Good news: the "Morning Report" sequence has been consigned to the deleted scenes section where it belongs. Bad news: they've messed around with the studio logo and credits AGAIN (and deleted the...

(BD, Blue Underground, Region ABC, USA) A mixed bag, to be sure. It's unquestionably a huge upgrade over the quite nasty-looking Anchor Bay DVD of yesteryear, but it still suffers from many of the problems that tend to be...
