Actress Mira Furlan has gone beyond the veil.

Babylon 5 was my favorite sci-fi show of the 1990s. Lost was my favorite of the 2000s. Mrs. Furlan will be missed dearly by friends, family, colleagues and fans. May she Rest In Peace beyond the veil.

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS Debuts on 4K Ultra HD March 30th to Celebrate 65th Anniversary

CELEBRATING ITS 65^THANNIVERSARY THIS YEAR, CECIL B. DEMILLE’S LEGENDARY EPIC ARRIVES ON 4K ULTRA HD FOR THE FIRST TIME 

 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray^™ Combo with Digital Debuts March 30, 2021 in Time for Easter

 

Renowned director Cecil B. DeMille’s 1956 epicTHE TEN COMMANDMENTS arrives in spectacular 4K Ultra HD for the first time on March 30, 2021 from Paramount Home Entertainment. 

 

Bringing to life the inspiring story of Moses in all its stunning glory, THE TEN COMMANDMENTS has withstood the test of time.  To commemorate the film’s 65^th anniversary in 2021, DeMille’s groundbreaking cinematic triumph will be available to watch at home in time for Easter in sparkling 4K Ultra HD with High Dynamic Range.

 

As part of the restoration done in 2010, the film was scanned in 6K and those files were the basis for this brand-new Dolby Vision version, which shows off the full beauty of the original VistaVision negative. The VistaVision format used special cameras to feed 35mm film into the camera horizontally in order to capture a wider image spread over two 35mm film frames, giving VistaVision twice the resolution of regular 35mm film.  In addition, Paramount spent well over 150 hours doing new color work and clean-up on the scan.  The move to Dolby Vision created the opportunity to further improve the look of the film:  blacks are enhanced and improvements were made to smooth out special effects mattes to create the most vibrant and pristine image possible. 

 

The 4K film presentation contains an introduction by DeMille, an intermission, an overture/exit music card, and an entr’acte card, along with a DTS-HD 5.1 lossless soundtrack.

 

The new set includes a 4K Ultra HD disc, two Blu-ray discs, and access to a Digital copy of the film.  Following is a breakdown of the disc contents:

4K Ultra HD Disc

·       Commentary by Katherine Orrison, author of “Written in Stone: Making Cecil B. DeMille’s Epic The Ten Commandments”

 

Blu-ray Disc^™ #1

Blu-ray Disc^™ #2

·       Newsreel footage of the film’s New York premiere

·       Theatrical trailers, including at 10-minute “making of” trailer

 

For sheer pageantry and spectacle, few motion pictures can claim to equal the splendor of THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. DeMille’s last motion picture made Charlton Heston a superstar and remains an unprecedented achievement and perennial fan favorite.  Filmed in Egypt and the Sinai with one of the biggest sets ever constructed for a motion picture, THE TEN COMMANDMENTS tells the story of the life of Moses (Heston).  Once favored in the Pharaoh's (Yul Brynner) household, Moses turned his back on a privileged life to lead his people to freedom.

 

Invasion of the Body Snatchers: 65th Anniversary Edition Digital Copy Review

 

It may seem quaint by modern standards, but there is no denying the paranoia inducing hysteria in Kevin McCarthy’s eyes in the film’s iconic closing sequence. “They’re here!” To celebrate the 65th Anniversary of Don Siegel’s sci-fi thriller, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Paramount Home Entertainment has the film on Blu-Ray, DVD and Digital Copy. I just watched the digital screener so I can only discuss what I saw and cannot comment on any of the extra value content that may or may not be included on the physical media editions, which is always my preference, but believe it or not I have never seen the original before so I could not pass up the opportunity to screen and review this classic and I am very grateful to Paramount Home Entertainment for the chance. 

Invasion of the Body Snatchers in many ways is far more effective in the original than it was in the Philip Kaufman 1978 remake. Sure I missed the inhuman scream that would have made the final sequence all the more chilling, but in some ways I like the nonchalant way the “pod people” behave. They are not supposed to have any emotions, but aside from a wide eyed looks on the face that is inconsistent at times, the menacing people are able to pretend they are human so much that it is almost impossible to tell the difference. The proximity of a pod to a victim does not have to be very close either. 

Don Siegel had a cameo in the Philip Kaufman remake as a cab driver and much of what is talked about or suggested in the original is fully realized in the 1978 remake, but sometimes the imagination is just better and what we learn, but never see I find to be more frightening than what has been chronicled not only in the Philip Kaufman 1978 remake, which also is a classic in it’s own right, but in the 1990s directed by Abel Ferrara and Actress Nicole Kidman starred in a third remake in the 2000s as well. All owe their inspiration to this 1950s classic.

The digital copy looked spot on with a crisp and detailed widescreen black and white high definition presentation that is complimented by a sharp and clear English Digital Soundtrack.

You owe it to yourself to check out the 65th Anniversary Edition of Invasion of the Body Snatchers is now on Blu-Ray, DVD and Digital Copy, but each format is sold separately, courtesy of Paramount Home Entertainment.
