The Wire: The Complete Series [Blu-ray] [2008] [Region Free]

Product Information

However, CURTAINS has some amazing moments even it doesn’t add up to much, and there is a reason that scenes like a murder on ice have become more iconic than the film itself. For the most part, it looks great as well, with Robert Paynter’s cinematography beautifully framing some genuinely unsettling sequences. For the complete 4K Ultra HD experience with HDR, a 4K Ultra HD TV with HDR, an Ultra HD Blu-ray player and a high-speed HDMI (category 2) cable are required. of 21st century journalism, the demoralization of honest journalists, and the flaws and sins of the modern media age, as it is in director/co-executive producer Joe Chappelle and actor Wendell Pierce, "Unconfirmed Reports" (Episode 2) with writer/actor Accomplished" (Episode 12) with Simon and producer Karen Thorson.

The Wire Reunion (HD, 85 minutes): "Isn't it astonishing how little we've all aged over the years!" The This list is different — and more prestigious. Here we collect the best discs of the year. We’ve tried them. We love them. We want to share them. That’s it! We don’t set any additional boundaries to our curation. Whether you want a killer midnight horror film or a challenging collection of art house cinema, you will find something to appreciate. Editor’s Note—4 PM Update: WBHE has replied with the following answers to the questions we posed for clarification: 1) Superman: The Movie 4K utilizes the same video master as the 2018 UHD but now includes the original theatrial audio mix (Comment: We believe this is in DTS-HD MA format now, where as the 2018 4K offered it in lossy 5.1 Dolby Digital. –BH). 2) Superman: The Movie includes Dolby Vision HDR while the sequels include only HDR10. All have Dolby Atmos. 3) No single-film 4K SKUs are currently planned in the US.] McQueen’s work only improved, but his films became paradoxically more commercial and less visible. Widows is one of the best thrillers of the past decade, is co-written by Gone Girl scribe Gillian Flynn, and has an absolutely bonkers ensemble cast of mega-celebrities: Viola Davis, Michelle Rodriguez, Colin Farrell, Brian Tyree Henry, Daniel Kaluuya… The list goes on. But the trailers were abysmal, and after a middling box office, it seemed to be all but abandoned by its distributor.I’m convinced Steve McQueen (the living director, not the deceased actor) would be a household name if not for some atrocious studio marketing decisions. McQueen is a true multihyphenate, winning the Turner Prize and working as an official war artist in Iraq before making his first feature film. That film, 2008’s Hunger, premiered at Cannes and won McQueen the Caméra d’Or — making him the first British director to do so. He followed with Shame and 12 Years a Slave, the latter winning the Academy Award for Best Picture. When I list my favorite ingredients for an action film, it looks like the recipe for A Moment of Romance: First, though, a bit of history. While all five seasons of the show were originally broadcast in 1.33:1, The Wire was shot in 35mm and, for a time, protected for 16:9 letterbox by executive producer Robert Colesberry, who initially pushed to film the series in widescreen. All good, right? Not quite. As Simon succinctly explained in a candid and revealing December 2014 blog post, "If you compose a shot for a wider 16:9 screen, then you are, by definition, failing to optimize the composition of the 4:3 image. Choose to serve one construct and at times you must impair the other." Moreover, by the end of the second season, Simon, Colesberry, cinematographer Briesewitz and the directors of photography who proceeded him were no longer actively protecting the image for a possible 1.78:1 presentation. As Simon recounts it: Karen L. Thorson and editor Thom Zimny. Unfortunately, neither is particularly engaging -- minimal insight into the season, too

You know Godzilla, but do you know Gorgo? This homage to Toho’s iconic kaiju has one of the more shameless poster taglines: “Like nothing you’ve seen before.” Of course, you have seen this before, just not in the streets of Great Britain. Screenwriters John Loring and Daniel Hyatt splice Godzilla and King Kong with a vial of Irish/British tension, producing one of the stranger entries in the mega monster movie genre. Behind-the-Scenes Documentary (HD/SD, 59 minutes): Divided into two chapters, "It's All Connected" and "The In 1985, following Taxi Driver and Raging Bull but before The Last Temptation of Christ, Scorsese made this compact and abstract story about a dull uptown office worker who gets devoured by the tawdry Soho art scene. Scorsese partnered with screenwriting agent of chaos Joseph Minion, who would later pen Nicolas Cage’s most bonkers role (a feat!) in Vampire’s Kiss. Scorsese provides just enough structure to keep the story from spinning out of control while maintaining the anxious feeling that the film could collapse at any time.
