4K Ultra HD Blu-rays arrive...

The idea that an entire single music album could fit on a 5-inch disc was shocking in the 1980s, then more shocking a whole feature film could fit on a disc the same size was maybe more shocking 15 years later. Then fitting a High Definition feature on such a disc also seemed unreal until Blu-ray was a success. Now, that 1080p disc has a new successor in the amazing 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray with 4 times more information at 2160p, plus a feature called HDR that adds further color, detail, depth and range that at its best is really remarkable.

We are part of the first wave of reviewing the format anywhere and encourage you to check out our continuing coverage so you can find out more about the state of the art of this great format meant to go with Blu-ray and DVD, even when it is outperforming both. So far, regular Blu-rays have been included with the 4K versions in the following releases so far...

The Best Film Magazine On The Market!

Though it is hard to argue the importance of film publications like American Cinematographer, Indie Slate, Cineaste or Moviemaker and what they deliver, but so much of film history and production is not being covered properly or of key films that deserve whole new audiences. If you love film, you'll love the new hit magazine Cinema Retro, which is getting bigger and bigger. You may want to see about subscribing now while supplies last on the latest issue. You can visit their site at:

www.CinemaRetro.com

"CINEMA RETRO" IS THE NEW MAGAZINE DEVOTED TO CLASSIC & CULT FILMS OF THE '60S & '70S. WRITTEN ABOUT AND BY THE ACTORS & FILMMAKERS OF THE ERA. EVERY ISSUE A LIMITED EDITION COLLECTOR'S ITEM!

Their site offers film news you cannot even find on IMDb, Variety, Deadline Hollywood, The Wrap or The Hollywood Reporter websites. Then there is their amazing magazine, one of the best of its kind on the entire market and a must for any serious film fan, so good that many issues are selling out. One of the best issues yet, Issue #35 features...

Mike Siegel's 12 page in-depth report on the tragedy and triumph in the making of Bruce Lee's last film, Enter the Dragon.

Mark Mawston's exclusive interview with Ian Ogilvy, who talks about filming She Beast, Witchfinder General, how he landed up playing Simon Templar on Return of the Saint and his close call with playing James Bond.

Extensive report from Tim Greaves on the underrated Alistair MacLean spy thriller When Eight Bells Toll, which afforded young Anthony Hopkins an early starring role.

Peter Cook pays tribute to "The Art of Deception" - a look at the use of matte paintings in famous films.

Michael Commes takes a fun filled visit to The House of Bare Mountain, the infamous nudie monster flick.

Esteemed photographer Keith Hamshere shares his memories and photos from The Living Daylights, Murphy's War and Death on the Nile.

Raymond Benson's Ten Best Films of 1954.

Patrick Cooper pays tribute to Robert Mitchum and The Friends of Eddie Coyle.

Lee Pfeiffer's "Take Two" column examines Assignment K starring Stephen Boyd andCamilla Sparv.

Brian Hannan looks at what was hot at the boxoffice in 1966.

Sheldon Hall reviews a video release of Jacques Rivette's films.

Daniel D'Arpe celebrates the cult sci-fi flick Starcrash starring Caroline Munro and David Hasselhoff.

Adrian Smith joyfully uncovers the 007 sexploitation spoof Bonditis.

Plus Darren Allison's latest soundtrack news and reviews, Gareth Owen's "Pinewood Past" column and the latest DVD, CD and film book reviews.

Contact the producers of this amazing publication and get any issue (still in print, that is, as they sell out quickly) to see for yourself. By the way, back issues are running out as the magazine expands and does so worldwide.

They also have an amazing one-shot limited edition issue on Dr. No, the underrated thriller Kelly's Heroes is available while supplies last (their amazing issue on Where Eagles Dare already sold out, but a new expanded edition is in the works) and an equally terrific second edition on the Sergio Leone/Clint Eastwood "Man With No Name" Trilogy (A Fistful Of Dollars, For A Few Dollars More, The Good The Bad & The Ugly, being reissued on Blu-ray again with upgrades) with all kinds of rare stills, text and other items that make them serious collector's items, so be sure to check things out over there if you love movies.

In the meantime, FulvueDrive-in.com continues to be about providing the most direct, expert, detailed (without ruining anything for first time viewers and listeners, as we are not into spoilers), informative, fun, bold, vital information we can come up with. That fun, yet College-level and all accessible way in which we cover material here benefit all our readers. Some of them are getting the hang of our technical section, but others are starting to catch on. We are doing our best to stay on top of the latest releases and what is happening or being released that you may not have heard about. If it is something you know about, we will likely have information and observations you will get nowhere else.

Now for some other sites worth checking out...

High Def Disc News is an Ultra HD and Blu-ray-only website with reviews and more run by Justin Sluss and loaded with a large number of reviews and a long stream of news items. They are one of the best and most uncompromising independent sources. See more at http://www.highdefdiscnews.com/

Our writer Dante Ciampaglia's Crazy From The Heat blog is always worth checking out for comments on film, media and the world at large. You can read him up at:

http://danteaciampaglia.com

Daniel Johnson also has a solid movie blog. He is a fine writer and implores "For amazing movie articles, crazy cinematic lists, and riveting reviews go to Film Babble Blog!" The link is:

http://filmbabble.blogspot.com/

Continuing their winning ways is DVDBeaver, a site that covers Blu-rays, DVDs and films from all over the world like no other, and is one of the only other sites besides ours to do so. Their link is:

www.DVDBeaver.com

We believe that we are one of the few sites that manage to cover both the technical parts of filmmaking, as well as the content and form of the films themselves more thoroughly than you would usually find on other sites or in print. They have reviews as well, but our favorite section is their ever-growing Blu-ray/DVD Comparisons section, which features very technical details on several versions of a given film. Often, they are even from different DVD Regions and Blu-ray regions, but they are always accompanied by still images from each DVD covered. Gary W. Tooze's site is everything the net is supposed to deliver and we will be adding anything we can to contribute to their efforts as they do ours.

www.cinegeek.com is run by Stephen Lackey and has its own love of anything Sci-Fi, Horror, Fantasy or Cult. The web needs more alternative sites like this, so be sure to visit them.
