~ Cyd Charisse comes to HD Blu-ray in PARTY GIRL ~
on May 13, 2022
Posted by: 93Vet
In one of the last movies in which Cyd does at least 2 beautiful dance numbers as a Chicago nightclub dancer, it looks fabulous now in HD Blu-ray.
This is a nice upgrade to the manufactured-on demand DVD previously released.
There is not much here either than the movie and theatrical trailer. I personally think the menu design could have been better, it's very basic. Easy selections.

Cyd looks great in the pink themed dance and what I call the "cheetah" dance number. She is outstanding and such a wonderful dancer and actress.

~ Robin Williams in one of his best performances!
on May 13, 2022
Posted by: 93Vet
Verified Purchase:Yes
Robin Williams stars in perhaps one of his greatest roles as an elite private school teacher/professor. He teaches poetry and is not the ordinary teacher who would teach at all. He is superb at it, so much so, that the leaders of the school find problems after investigating a death of one of the students.
I love this movie and it is one of Robin's best performances.
It looks decent here on Blu-ray, but not stellar.
It is better than the previous DVD, certainly.
Motion menus are great with background music.

~ A lackluster 4K release by Disney on this one
on April 28, 2022
Posted by: 93Vet
Well folks, I own several hundred 4K movies myself and this one is not a good upgrade over the nice Blu-ray that has been out for some time.
Although the audio has been upgraded to 7.1 Atmos, the picture is not a good one when comparing it to the
Blu-ray.
The 4K appears darker and colors do not stand out as you would think they would. The fires in the beginning seem dull to the Blu-ray.
I have a nice set up, soundbar, 4K player and 4K TV with HDR.
This is a disappointment to me on this release.
Hold on to your Blu-rays for these pirate movies.
The menus on the Blu-rays are far nicer as well.

~ Hunger Games 4K Steelbook set is gorgeous! ~
on April 22, 2022
Posted by: 93Vet
Verified Purchase:Yes
Unbelievably beautiful steelbook box set from Lionsgate. This is the most detailed one to date for anything physical media. I own hundreds of steelbooks as this writing, and this one is magnificent as a set. The outer shell has a soft black feel to it with gold lettering and fabulous artwork.
The outer casing is sturdy cardboard, but it is sturdier than Paramount's 2 sets they have released this year. Those were thin and flimsy in comparison. The artwork on those were not as good as this one, overall.

The steelbooks are simply gorgeous in every detail inside and out. The discs themselves have gorgeous artwork on them as well, not just painted black or blue like that of Star Treks box set of the first 4 movies.
I physically went down to my local Best Buy and got this copy, flawless. No scratches, no dents, no dings of any kind. I am proud to have gone there and not had it shipped knowing their issues with that.
Now, if Paramount had done this kind of detailed artwork and care for the releases of Star Trek/Indiana Jones sets, it would be far superior to existing ones.
I give this set 5 stars all the way through.
Highly recommend you get it before it becomes out of print if you like this series.

Gambling and betting are a sure way to get rich quick, if you can succeed and don't blow it.
Robert Shaw plays the bad guy here, who is really rich, and wants more competing in several card games and then upping the stakes in a high bet racehorse scheme.
The bets are high, and the duo of Redford and Newman try to outsmart the thorn in their side, Robert Shaw in the "final" showdown.
Picture and sound are fairly good for the age of this movie, but it doesn't look stellar beyond belief. I would say it is an improvement over the older releases, but, if you have the 4K TV and player, I would upgrade.

~ Hickok looks good on the 4K ~

A fairly decent movie on the western character known as Wild Bill Hickok. I liked it and the action was fairly good throughout the movie. I have always wondered if that was the same Matty that ended up with Wyatt Earp and getting addicted to morphine or similar drug (depicted in Tombstone with Kurt Russell).
Did she really have a kid with Bill Hickok? I don't know if that is fact or was just thrown in there for the movie.

5 out of 5Flash Gordon isn't for everyone, but it's good.
By laopwh
Flash Gordon isn't for everyone, but it is a good movie set in 1980.the music score is what makes the movie really good because new score is all done by Queen. What makes the steelbook really good as it's the 40th anniversary of the movie itself. Anybody knows the story behind Flash Gordon knows the story itself. Flash Gordon, Dale Arden, and Doctor Zarcough have to find a way to stop Earth's destruction. Not knowing that Ming the Merciless is behind everything and Earth's destruction. Having the 40th anniversary edition come out on steelbook is worth every penny.

Step right up to the counter and play away. Arcade1Up's next generation of countercades is here in a new form factor. Take it right out of the box, plug it in, and start gobbling up pellets. Perfect for home bars, offices, dorm rooms, or anywhere else you'd want to squeeze in some retro gaming, Arcade1Up~s countercades are compact in size, but always an enormous amount of fun. Yep, here she is. Possibly a diva but most definitely an icon, Ms. Pac-Man. Guide her way through those mazes while evading Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Sue. In the mood to switch it up? You've also got the classics Pac-Man, Plus, Galaga, and Dig Dug all inside. Featuring authentic gameplay with real feel controls, Arcade1Up's countercades are the way to bring that classic arcade experience home, even if you're short on space.

Hi, I have Ms. Pac-Man on a tabletop version and it is exact like the genuine ARCADE version from early 80s. In the original version of the game she starts out slow and then she speeds up as you clear a few screens, around the PEACH and APPLE stages.
Is it the same here on the countercade version?

4 out of 5Another great package from Arcade1up
By TRAINMAN0703
The very best aspect of this over Arcade1up's original Pac-Man offering is the upgraded monitor. The original Pac-Man's image would wash out when you looked at it from a slight angle. This rendition does not do that. The image is bright and crisp from any angle. The monitor is also set further back in the cabinet and tilted more, which does not sound like much on paper until you actually play it and compare it to the real arcade machine.
I buy these things solely with modifications in mind, therefore I did not play any of the included games right out of the box. For those who do not "mod" these, the assortment of games is a vast improvement over the chintzy offering of a mere 2 Pac-titles in the last Pac-Man cabinet. I am baffled by the inclusion of "Galaga" however. Pac-Man's "lady friend" would have been great here, but she is getting her own royal treatment (and deservedly so) soon. I must point out that they did change the way the control panel mounts to the cabinet and how the lower two front-facing panels (these are also slightly resized) directly below said control panel install. Because of the alteration(s) to the control panel, you cannot just slide in/out the panels below it, which will make for a tricky assembly process. The shape of the cabinet itself is another notable improvement as it veers much closer to capturing the profile of the real thing. The speakers (yes, speakerS) are now housed behind/under the marquee, which is also far more arcade-like not just in looks but also sound reproduction.
The light-up marquee, light-up (albeit non-prototypical) control deck, bar stool and riser make this package the best value of any Pac-Man 40th anniversary offering, as separate-sale risers are VERY hard to come by; and, to my knowledge, the 40th anniversary-themed bar stool is not sold separately at all. Again, I will gripe that the design on the riser does not look like a natural extension of the cabinet. The faux-wood grain should be on the sides and the black in the front. Oh well. This can be fixed with after-market graphics for those who really feel the need. I think I personally would have preferred the cabinet to be yellow like the 1980 prototype, but the "cabaret" models of the time did indeed have a wood grain finish, albeit with no graphics.
If you did not get the original Pac-Man cabinet from Arcade1up, this is most certainly worthy of consideration. Other than the slightly trickier assembly, this is an improvement in almost every way.

40th Anniversary Special Edition from Best Buy..
September 15, 2020
Hi, great review of the newer version of PAC-MAN from Arcade1up. I am going to get this one for my upcoming 54th bday! Yes, I am showing my age, but, I was 13 when the original cabinet came out. I loved it then and I still love it now. I would have to agree with you on the riser part as per the graphics, but, I think they were going for a contrast look. Agreed also, they should have continued the wood grain on the sides and kept the black on the front to make it look uniform. I do love the SPECIAL EDITION from Best Buy. Not only do you get the light up aspects of the unit, you also get the stand with the graphics.
My only complaint would be the unit having the AUDIO switch setting too loud if you go beyond 1.

That's too bad. I think you got a glitch in the part where the circuit board is. I had the original GALAGA/GALAXIAN game and in some games on the GALAXIAN the screen froze up right in the middle of playing. I was not a happy person. I got rid of it and sold it cheap to someone else that wanted GALAGA, which had no issues.
SUPER PAC-MAN is going to be on the MS. PAC-MAN cabinet coming soon AND there is a SUPER PAC-MAN cabinet from COSTCO that has it on it's own. This just came out within a few days to a week. September 15, 2020. You have to go to COSTCO and find someone with a membership to purchase. You cannot get it online to my knowledge.

Packaging was great and care has been taken to protect the parts in transit. Assembly was about 1.5-2 hours from start to finish. I was taking my time to make sure I didn’t scratch any pcs during assembly. The cabinet looks great and the light up marquee really makes it stand out. The graphics on the riser add a nice touch as well. The cabinet comes with dual speakers and the sound quality is good. I bought the cabinet for Ms Pac-Man but having Dig Dug was a bonus. Overall I’m really happy with my purchase and would recommend.

The definitive collection, and probably the last one you’ll ever need (unless they do a 4K release in the future). The first four films have never looked better, period! And if you’re a 3D supporter (we’re a dying breed these days, but we’re out there!) then you will love finally having a proper 3D release of Part 3! Also, having the Unrated Cut of Jason Goes to Hell is a major plus! The bonus features are very informative, though it’s a shame that the Crystal Lake Memories documentary isn’t included. That’s not to take away from what Scream Factory put together. This is an AMAZING collection!

HI, I have this set as well from Shout! Factory and it appears there is a minor audio issue with Jason X. A sound effect is not present when Jason goes to kill a woman character in the movie.
JGTH seems to be missing a scene from other reviewers I have read on. I am not worried about this as I have the UNRATED DVD from Lionsgate already.

By Misterday
Great movie. But so removed from the original animated movie, you might enjoy it more if you consider them to not have anything to do with each other. There’s no music, no Mushu, no romance. The only real thing making it a Mulan movie is her name is Mulan. They don’t do a great job of making you feel like she’s a boy in the army. It’s a lazy gender bend if you ask me. But the movie has everything a live action Disney movie can want or need. Great story, great special effects, great score, great action and emotion. Just don’t compare it to the cartoon too much and you’ll like it a lot more.

By NateC
Unlike some other buyers, luckily my copy came right on time and in perfect condition.
The movies themselves are phenomenally mastered with crisp picture, robust hdr color/contrast, and awesome 4k textures I've never seen before on previous inferior versions. These look excellent in my home theater and serve as the new showcase for my system (which used to be Mad Max: Fury Road). The steelbooks are attractive and come with cushioning foam in the slipcase to protect them from rubbing against each other.
Not as much extra content (i.e. The Appendices) as previous versions, so I'll need to keep my old copy as well.

Brings back memories of hanging out at the Arcade with a pocket full of quarters when I was young. My daughter absolutely loves it and we enjoy seeing who can get the high score on this 40th Anniversary Pac-Man. The custom stool is nice and the backlit Marquis and control deck is really nice. The led control deck has a button on the right that can change the colors or slowly rotate through all the colors. The replay value is good for the list of Pac-Man games plus you get Galaga! Very happy.

You're going to hate buying this version when a New 12-1 Legacy Edition is coming, better cabinet, more games, for the same price.

Retrogaming fans and pop-culture enthusiasts have been clamoring for it, and here it is courtesy of Arcade1Up: the Atari Legacy CENTIPEDE Edition home arcade machine, for the first time in a form factor shaped just like the original classic arcade cabinet!
There are misleading images of this unit's screen size when showing Centipede. The game is a vertical game as it should be. However, there are photos of it being squashed or horizontal. Which is it?

Evolving from its 1958 beginnings as an amusement game manufacturer, Midway produced some of the hottest arcade games of the 80s and 90s, that have since been adapted into film, television, and much more.Their monsters-wreaking-havoc title Rampage~was a giant early hit, and then leaps in live action digitizing technology led to Mortal Kombat~, recognized as one of the most important titles in video game history. With it~s over the top darkly humorous gameplay and finishing moves, Mortal Kombat~became an instant franchise with iconic characters and enduring catch phrases.
So, what's the actual date of release now? Arcade 1up had it in March and Best Buy says Dec. 31, 2021. lol There are many of us eagerly awaiting to get this unit when Arcade 1up SAYS and sends an email stating it is READY for Preorder.

Does this come with a deck protector as well? I know the most recent ones have had it, but this does not specify.

Set up your gaming room with this Arcade1Up Ms. Pac-Man arcade game console. The classic upright design has a midsize profile for seamless fitting in tight spaces, while the 17-inch LCD screen offers crisp visuals for complete immersion. This Arcade1Up Ms. Pac-Man arcade game console features four games for a complete nostalgic experience, and the coinless operation allows unlimited play.
Is the play exactly like the arcade version? Does it offer "normal" and "fast" speed modes?
Hey Ed, this is the normal arcade version from 1982. No, there is no SPEED UP version on this unit.

I know that this cabinet comes with the normal speed version of mrs pacman, I was just wondering if there was any possible way that I could enable the faster pace version. I just find it way more entertaining and enjoyable. Thanks
Interesting question, Jacob. I don't know if it can be messed with to make it super fast, or the speed up version.
I have that SPEED UP version on my tabletop as well as 2 other versions,
MS. PAC-MAN PLUS
MS. PAC-MAN ATTACK

Will this be fast Ms Pacman or slow Ms Pacman?
It's the traditional MS. PAC-MAN, not the speed up version. After the 1st Apple screen, she does pick up speed.
I have that and 3 other versions of MS. PAC-MAN on my tabletop game.
I wish they would have had these on the MS. PAC-MAN cabinet:
MS. PAC-MAN (original)
MS. PAC-MAN Speed up
MS. PAC-MAN Plus
MS. PAC-ATTACK

Does this include digital copy....?
Is this the same steelbook as the region free Titans of Cult version? It has the same cover art.
I believe it is, Al. It's a beautiful steelbook. My favorite of them all.

Pre-order? By the time you guys decide to take orders the cabinet will be released at this rate.
Agreed on that. Still says coming soon on October 5. I think some others have taken orders, but, Best Buy usually has a different version than they do. Light up Marquee, other games.
