Given that last line, I wouldn't be surprised if a number of these are former Twilight Time titles.Originally Posted by Kino Lorber Insider

The Kino rep said that 7 of the new MGM titles were released by Twilight Time and 2 are getting new 4K transfers and 3 are ones that Kino released on dvd.

Bill Gunn's Personal Problems is coming to BD in July.
While I've only ever seen Ganja & Hess, this looks like a great rescue effort, and sounds really promising.

Re: Kino Lorber Studio Classics Acquisitions
Matewan would be absolutely tremendous. Does that mean that other titles released on horrible Artisan DVDs will be coming, too?
Private Files of J. Edgar Hoover is great as well. I've never seen the MGM burn-on-demand disc.

Re: Kino Lorber Studio Classics Acquisitions
It has been year's since I've seen it, but I remember it being one of the better films of the Eighties. Haskell Wexler's cinematography is gorgeous and has never been well represented on DVD. I hope that Kino Lorber is able to obtain a superior master that does the film justice.
And a film about labor struggles seems all too relevant in 2018...

Really enjoyed that one, but I think I'm fine with my Mill Creek double feature Blu-Ray with Puppet Masters that cost like $4

Re: Kino Lorber Studio Classics Acquisitions
Most of those do sound like KL titles, so I'm surprised it's only two, but I imagine one of them is Mississippi Burning

Re: Kino Lorber Studio Classics Acquisitions
Jsteffe and hearthesilence, thank you for your opinions. I haven’t seen anything from John Sayles yet. Matewan is the film I would like to start with, the subject interests me and it has James Earl Jones.

Re: Kino Lorber Studio Classics Acquisitions
L.A., Matewan is excellent, and everything he did in his first two decades as a writer and/or director is pretty much on par with it, but the best Sayles entry point, at least for me, is his masterful Lone Star. I'm also quite fond of Limbo. He never really repeats himself, either.
And, I'm not joking here: his screenplays for Joe Dante's Piranha and The Howling are amazing, and his cameo in Dante's Matinee never fails to make me laugh.

I would have assumed Eight Men Out would be the universal entry point for him.

Re: Kino Lorber Studio Classics Acquisitions
I doubt this is a popular opinion, but I think Honeydripper is Sayles' most obvious crowd-pleaser. Lone Star and Matewan are his best, in my opinion. Eight Men Out is worth it only if you're into baseball, and more specifically, baseball history.

I don't know anything about baseball outside of that film and Burns'.

Re: Kino Lorber Studio Classics Acquisitions
Alright, thank you as well. So all in all, I think we are talking of a talented filmmaker here. Let’s begin delving into the man’s work then.jazzo wrote: ↑Thu May 31, 2018 9:09 amL.A., Matewan is excellent, and everything he did in his first two decades as a writer and/or director is pretty much on par with it, but the best Sayles entry point, at least for me, is his masterful Lone Star.

This is fantastic news. I haven't seen it since its original theatrical release, it'll be fun to revisit. I hope it holds up.

Geronimo came out in a ridiculously bare bones Twilight Time disc, and I'm hoping KL will rectify that. Very possibly Walter Hill's finest work.

Re: Kino Lorber Studio Classics Acquisitions
(1) It just came out this year, so Twilight Time's rights probably won't expire until 2021 or so; (2) GERONIMO: AN AMERICAN LEGEND is licensed from Sony, and I don't believe Kino has a licensing deal with them at present.
