Titanic Sets Sail on 4K Ultra HD

Nearly 26 years following its theatrical release, Titanic is making its arrival on 4K Ultra HD with two different sets for purchase. Had I known that the film would be arriving this year on 4K Ultra HD, I wouldn’t have reviewed it earlier this summer. In any event, this is a 4K UHD release that is stacked with bonus features (scroll down to see what they are). As far as I can tell, the new…

Titanic Is An Epic Achievement In Filmmaking Over 25 Years Later

Titanic takes a Romeo and Juliet approach while James Cameron and the crew go to painstaking efforts in recreating the ship and sinking. “It’s been 84 years…” There’s something about the RMS Titanic that has a staying power in the public consciousness. Maybe its because this supposedly unsinkable ship became just that: sinkable. The reported want of White Star Line managing director J. Bruce Ismay (Jonathan Hyde) to have Titanic to make the news in…

Titanic: 25 Years Later with James Cameron

Titanic: 25 Years Later with James Cameron rehashes much of what is featured in Titanic: 20 Years Later but with one new addition. If it seems like I’m rehashing much of my review of the 2017 special, you’re not mistaken. This new special sacrifices the discussion with descendants of survivors and victims to focus on whether Jack could have survived on the door with Rose. It’s for this reason that my review grade is a…

Titanic: 20 Years Later with James Cameron

In Titanic: 20 Years Later with James Cameron, the filmmaker takes a look back at some of the choices that were right and wrong in the film. Over 100 years following its sinking, the Titanic still fascinates people around the globe. It’s unfortunate that the wreck claimed five more lives this week with the Titan‘s catastrophic implosion. However, it also says something about people wanting to see the wreck. The technology didn’t exist to find…

Light & Magic Tells The Rich History of ILM

Light & Magic is a 6-part documentary series that goes back into the archives to give us the deep history of Industrial Light & Magic (ILM). The history of ILM cannot be told without George Lucas, John Dykstra, Ken Ralston, Richard Edlund, Dennis Muren, Robert Blalack, Joe Johnston, Phil Tippett, Steve Gawley, Lorne Peterson, and Paul Huston. It’s because of them that filmmaking would change as a result of a sci-fi film, Star Wars. Dennis Muren would also join the list of…

Secrets of the Whales: The Newest Earth Day Series

Rather than launch a new Disneynature film, Disney+ turns to James Cameron and National Geographic for Secrets of the Whales. It was only a matter of time before Disney, through its National Geographic unit, released a documentary on whales. The thing is–there is so much content here that it’s not limited to a single film. Instead, the newest Earth Day feature is a documentary series. The four episodes run close to 50 minutes in length,…

James Cameron’s Story of Science Fiction

James Cameron’s Story of Science Fiction arrives home on Blu-ray and DVD after the six-part documentary series aired in 2018. This limited documentary series, which originally aired on AMC, features just about every major person ever associated with the genre.  Whether it’s filmmakers, visual effects designers, actors, or commentators, there is no shortage of commentary.  The commentary, of course, is expertly weaved in with montage of film clips or archive footage.  Most importantly, James Cameron’s…

Patty Jenkins rips James Cameron over Wonder Woman comments

Director James Cameron made the news for some disparaging comments about Wonder Woman.  Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins ripped him in response and rightfully so. Cameron told The Guardian‘s Hadley Freeman: “All of the self-congratulatory back-patting Hollywood’s been doing over Wonder Woman has been so misguided. She’s an objectified icon, and it’s just male Hollywood doing the same old thing! I’m not saying I didn’t like the movie but, to me, it’s a step backwards.…
