~ 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 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.

Beautiful movie in the Christmas season and one of my very favorites of all time in that regard. Looks and sounds good on the Blu-ray format. Very nice edition with slipcover. Highly recommended for all ages.

Nice piece and have to have if you own the Samsung Galaxy 21. The company no longer gives you this item when you get their new phones. You have to purchase separately.

Dr. Stephen Strange, a brilliant brain surgeon, finds himself a new meaning in life after a tragic and near fatal accident.
He embarks on a new mission to seek out healing that may help him regain what he lost and finds something much more in the process. His life will never be the same when he truly becomes a master of the mystic arts.
This is a good one starting off for Dr. Strange! Loved it!
This 4K is beautiful and the way it was done was fairly good. I recommend it highly!

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.

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.

What a good movie with a great cast! THE STING featuring the talents of Paul Newman and Robert Redford, once again team up to outwit their nemeses'. 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.
*Redford and Newman previously paired up for Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
I would recommend, not for kids under 13 though.
*You get the Blu-ray, digital copy, and slipcover as well.

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.
The picture and sound were pretty good in 4K. Motion menus were nice with easy selections.

Authentic arcade experience
ByBBShopper
This is the 1UP Arcade to get. Ten games, including MK1, 2, and Ultimate 3. Scan line filter and difficulty settings are available on each game. Some games have additional options. MK1 and 2 have flawless emulation. Ultimate MK3 suffers from occasional slow down when a lot happens on screen. Otherwise it plays perfectly.
This is my first 1UP purchase, and I'm very satisfied with this purchase. I'll pick up more as my favorite games are released.
Apocalypse Now: The Final Cut looks stunning now in 4K for the 30th Anniversary Edition! The overall package, design and discs are all nicely done. Picture quality and sound are fabulous and it makes you think you are right there with the guys in the military boat making its way through the river. All special features have been brought over from other releases, and you get the HEART OF DARKNESS feature as well.
This is a war movie and not for the younger viewers. HIghly recommended for all those that love Robert Duvall. His portrayal of a Colonel in this movie is spectacular. Martin Sheen also does a great job as the Captain put in charge of the boat to destroy a lunatic colonel out in the jungle.

Package Ruined By Shipping/USPS
ByKevin
Received product like many items recently shipped from bestbuy in plain mail envelopes with no padding or protection, when i am spending 80 to 100 for something that comes in a special edition box i expect it to be protected when shipped not placed in a stand mail envelope. the box was torn up and one of the steelbooks has a very visible scratch on it. i understand its not a hard box surrounding the steelbooks but when i ship stuff i protect my items bestbuy just likes to charge full price and not give a crap i am so close to being done and going else where. hopefully i can find this in store at my local best to swap out. had the same issue with recent movie BackDraft the steel book came and look terrible was even bent during shipping.
Not all 4K movies are released with an additional Blu-ray disc. This is one of them. Make sure it specifically says you are getting the standard Blu-ray disc as well as the 4K UHD.

Disappointment
ByAnonymous
Got as a gift for Christmas. Used about 6 times. Tried playing last week and no screen/picture had sound. I turned off n on many times and no visual just sound. Unfortunately waranty only covers for 3 months! Would not recomend!!
I hope you knew that 4K discs DO NOT play in standard Blu-ray players before you wrote this 1 star review for the movie. You should have known by now that 4K discs have to be played in their own players and can play the others, DVD/Blu-ray. Game systems also have to be able to read the 4K UHD disc as well. 4K is a step up from Blu-ray, overall.
The art is amazing, the panel graphics are fantastic. They did an amazing job remaking this 20th anniversary cab. The screen is ultra clear. Fantastic game selection. And every game has online leaderboards which makes the replay value great. I keep coming back to this cab wanting to get in the top 25. Arcade1up’s quality has really improved over the first gen cabs. They knocked this one out of the park.
Thank you for taking the time to convey what I was thinking without having it physically, yet! Looking at the cabinet up close with the pictures provided here on Best Buy, it looks like they have redesigned the Volume control and On/Off white buttons also. They look to be flat now, as opposed to be the white pegs they are on the PAC MAN Legacy Edition I own. Is that an upgrade design for this one? Just curious.
I got this assembled just fine, but then the joystick fell apart after the first play. I got it reassembled, but now it's loose and doesn't feel right. The controls don't respond right either. I am really good at this game and score well in arcades, so something is wrong. I shouldn't have to repair parts for a brand new machine. Not impressed.
Hi, that is a shame and I feel for you. Hopefully, you will get your money back on this. I should say that PAC MAN Legacy Edition is really good, but I feel like the joystick could have been built better. It works, but it really clicky whereas the real one from the Arcade is solid and does not make any noise. That is the only drawback I have on these units, the joysticks are not built well enough.
I bought this thinking it was the Steelbook Collector's Set. Unfortunately, it was just regular packaging. Not worth the price without it being steenboks.
You can still get those, for the Hobbit, and then Lord of the Rings. Finding a good deal on them is key and not all dented up. I should say though they did not have the Appendices, which I believe this one does?
Had the Ms Pac Man cocktail table, which I love. Class of 81 blows that one out of the water. Selling the cocktail cabinet.
Lit marquee, best graphics and side art arcade 1 up has ever released, lighted deck with 8 color options, wifi and online world leaderboards, dip switch settings to customize difficulty and speed (software update even added rapid fire to Galaga ... and since it's wifi the update takes place as fast as adding an app to your phone)
I have 7 cabinets and this is by far my favorite. Even got some world high scores!
Thanks for the review! I have to say, I was impressed with their graphics on the STAR WARS cabinet and TEMPEST Atari Legacy Edition, of which I own. This one looks great as well. The lighted deck seems to be a new addition. Good to know!
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?

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.

Not sure, but I asked the Best Buy tech on duty and he sold me one similar to this one for my Galaxy 21 phone. It works well. My advice to you would be to go in person if you can and tell them your question. They should point you to the correct item that will work for you.
Most steelbook editions contain the DVD as well. Do any of these contain the DVD's? And none of the special features are listed. I am particularly interested if the 4k/blu-ray have extra features that the DVD's do not. Thanks for your quick reply.

It did when it first came out on 4K. I don't think it can be found in the brick-and-mortar stores with one now in 2022, 5 years later. You may have to go to ebay for one.
