Yeah...he was great in just about everything he was in.

Part 2 just has that dated John Woo-ness that didn't work then...more so now - the slow-mo doves and shit was OK when he did it in his original Chinese movies, but it didn't feel right in a M:I flick.

I really wasn't a fan of any of his US movies.

I feel the same way. It's the only M:I movie i don't like i kinda hate-watch because it's bad but not, say, Rocky V bad which i have no issue skipping haha

I'm still an AAA24 member, but they haven't done much for being a member lately. Now they have. They just released an app (eh) but also gave members a free ticket to Talk To Me. Unfortunately, I have to drive two hours away to see the free screening, but hey I got nothing going on. Should be fun - but it's not till next week. I don't know how much I'll use this app, but I hope they keep doing free screenings and stuff like this because it makes being a member worth it. Other than that, I probably should drop the membership. The birthday gift selection this year wasn't that great for me.

Whenever i upgrade a title i end up with spares or i sort through my collection for titles i probably won't watch again. So i figured i'd offer them here. Just cover shipping ($14) and pick whatever you like.

*Some are Region A Locked and a couple are REGION B Locked

**BumbleBee: The 4K disc has a half-second audio sync issue. Blu-Ray works fine.

***Not pictured, The Conjuring 3 4K

I feel De Palma didn't display too much of his flair that made him a cult icon director in the 70s and 80s, but maybe I just don't remember looking for those things back then when I didn't know him that well.

If you are looking for it you definitely see it throughout. Dutch angles, split diopter, and just that "De Palma" look.

I just watched it again this afternoon...and I'll still watch part 2 later tonight. For as much as I complain, it's still watchable...just a bit cringe.

Those are nice stacks of movies...

It reminds me that I've wanted to pick up the 4K release of The Taking of Pelham One Two Three - but Kino Lorber titles never seem to go on sale here, so I just haven't grabbed it yet.

I too have some stacks I've upgraded over the years - both DVDs and Blu Rays, and by the looks of it, would match a lot of what you have here.

So glad 4K is region free, but I got a universal 4K player anyway so I could watch those extras that are only on the region locked Blu Disc.

I'll have to bookmark that - I also forgot I want to get their 4K release of Three Days of the Condor

Their 4K releases of 12 Angry Men and The Night Of The Hunter have been tempting me but i'm quite happy with the Criterion blu-rays. At some point i'll probably cave but I'm trying not to upgrade every movie just for the sake of upgrading.

12 Angry Men is one of my favorite movies - so I bought it back in May - even though I have the Criterion version. Both have decent/different extras that I'm just keeping the Criterion, too.

The new 4K includes Friedkin's 1997 remake on a Blu Ray disc - yeah...it's nowhere as good as the original movie, but it isn't all that bad either.
