Looney Tunes Collector’s Choice Volume 1 contains 20 animated Looney Tunes shorts that have never been released on Blu-ray.

Not only are these shorts making their arrival on Blu-ray but Warner Archive has made sure that they are restored, remastered, and uncut. While there are various directors, many of the shorts feature the voice stylings of the legendary…

Hey There, It’s Yogi Bear–Hanna-Barbera’s first animated theatrical feature–makes its arrival on Blu-ray via the Warner Archive Collection. Produced at a time when Hanna-Barbera Productions was based at Columbia Pictures, the Columbia logo has been on-and-off through the years. The Columbia card briefly appears at the start of the film on Blu-ray. Unlike an earlier DVD from Warner Home Video, the Warner Archive Blu-ray is in its 1.85:1 theatrical aspect ratio. Spring is here so…

The Oscar-winning adventure film, King Solomon’s Mines, makes its arrival on Blu-ray by way of the Warner Archive Collection. On one level, it’s hard to believe that King Solomon’s Mines was nominated for Best Picture at the 23rd Academy Awards. Perhaps what is even more hard to believe is that the film won for Film Editing over the likes of All About Eve and Sunset Boulevard. It’s win for Cinematography–Color is perfectly understandable. The cinematography…

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is now available for fans to watch with plenty of bonus content on home video. What follows is my original review for the theatrical release: Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is a laugh riot through and through in the newest big screen adventure based on the game.

Warner Bros.: 100 Years of Storytelling, written by Mark A. Vieira, is the must-own centennial book about the studio’s history.

TCM host Ben Mankiewicz pens the forward. Every chapter consists of a few page of text before showing off a decade’s…

A huge risk at the time of its release, Confessions of a Nazi Spy is now available on Blu-ray through the Warner Archive Collection. No other studio would show guts like Warner Bros. in the late 1930s. I cannot say this enough. This is certainly something that I discuss almost every time that I write about the studio for its centennial. Germany’s LA consul, George Gyssling, wrote letters in hopes of shutting the film down.…

While initially greenlit as a war preparedness film, the United States was already at war when Captains of the Clouds was released in 1942. Captains of the Clouds made history during its initial production in 1941. It would mark the first time that a Hollywood film would be produced in its entirety in Canada. Warner Bros. was all about greenlighting any films that would help prepare the US for war. This time around, the studio…

Being Mary Tyler Moore is a documentary that allows the seven-time Emmy-winning actress to tell her own story through archival footage. Outside of the archival clips featuring Moore speaking with interviewers, James Adolphus takes the smart approach of not using talking heads in the traditional way. While there are a number of voiceover interviews, nobody is seen speaking on camera. Some are for a brief clip while others like James L. Brooks and Jim Burrows…
