What is a boutique release?
Boutique is a curated release that is done by a certain label like Criterion or Arrow Video. They are studies that get rights to a film and make special edition releases that major studios don’t bother to put the time and effort into. They usually have better packaging, remasters and a large selection of curated special features unique to their release
If there is a range of bluray releases for the same title, I generally always go for the one with the extras - if it is a bluray without any extras it is a disappointment - though, of course, the film is still key. Personally, not that interested in a cobbled together making of and the Q&A with the stars, prefer the discussion of the music, discussion of the lighting, a chat with the second assistant to the x or y or listening to the accountant talking about the financing of the film; an isolated soundtrack; also perhaps a discussion of the restoration and work done etc or someone chatting about Euro-Crime or Kim Newman on the film. Nice to get the multiple versions such as the UK or European or USA cut of the film as well. Love the Indicator / radiance / arrow blurays for those kinds of features. The big release ones have the least interesting extras for me I always assumed the lack of extras was just they had no space on the disk ? Or as all the features cost money with licensing, production etc that if the disk has a certain budget after the main picture, there is just nothing left to pay for the people to come in and be filmed, interviewed etc or the material is just so old and probably has been lost in some vault somewhere
DVDs should have been phased out in 2010. That they're still around in 2024 is ridiculous. They had their time but their quality just doesn't hold up by today's standards. Even most TH-cam videos have higher resolution than a regular DVD. I've still kept all my DVDs (I have over 6000 of them) but many of them are painful to watch now on a 75-inch 4K screen, I've re-bought the movies I care about on Blu-Ray or 4K if available. The only things I still buy nowadays on DVD are old TV shows or music videos. Whenever I see a regular DVD in a store of a current movie, I ask "Why would you even PUT that on DVD?" They're especially a waste of space when stores are giving less of it overall to movies.
I can understand that they’re still around cause they’re cheaper to produce and easier to license but yeah they are quite outdated in their picture and audio quality compared to Blu-Rays.
Awesome pick up's 👍 Loved Tammy and the T-Rex that's a real hoot!!!
Thanks! Tammy and the T-Rex is a classic, I’m glad to finally own it
For Southland I allow a few days for new titles to be shelved.
My local one is usually quicker but I don’t mind a delay for Southland. They have a smaller range anyway but there’s more chance of something being there that isn’t showing online
the imprint bundles are great even the American Psycho Dredd bundle is a solid deal..i actually like Blair witch 2 so imprint might win out for me
If I hadn’t of already imported the 4K of American Psycho I would’ve gone first Via Visions but I’m excited for their October bundle and the price was so much better than getting them all individually so I can see why people go for bulk
Umbrella did have a cheaper boxset of Late Night With The Devil. It didn't come with the VHS and TV Guide and cost $75. That's the version I preordered. I preordered The Blair Witch Collection from Imprint too. As soon as I saw it included Book Of Shadows I was all in, and I love the box art they've got going on. Second Sight do great stuff. Their boxset of Picnic At Hanging Rock is a thing of beauty and really is a fine tribute to a great film.
Yeah I probably should’ve ordered Umbrella’s more standard LE but it’s too late now. I’m happy to have ordered both of Second Sights upcoming releases. I’m also still happy to also have Imprint’s Blair Witch given I do like the artwork as well but also wants the second film
@CollectorCreations These are crazy times we're living in. No matter what release we order, there's gonna be another release that's just as, if not more, tempting. And it sucks ass missing out. I snoozed for too long on the SS The Witch LE and it sold out. Now it's become one of my favourite modern gothic horrors. I do have the Second Sight 4k and bluray separately. But I'm kicking myself for not picking up the boxset
Another place I have imported a lot of Blu Ray movie's from because we didn't get a local release here in Australia is Rarewaves UK I picked up Robots dream on Blu Ray as JB Hi-Fi only had it on DVD and another movie i saw on streaming and that is Hundreds of beavers which I can't even see it up for pre-order from JB Hi-Fi
Oh man I can’t wait to get Hundreds of Beavers on Blu. I had to pirate it ahah but it’s amazing. I’ve definitely gotten from rarewaves before, only a few times directly from their website but occasionally from their eBay page as well.
@@CollectorCreations That's how we first watched it via a download and if I like the movie enough that I'll watch it again I'll buy a legal copy
Yes! I have watched White Lotus.
Is it good? Also do you think Sydney is good in it?
She is fine as hell ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The chronicles of riddick dvd menu was unreal, you had to first choose to convert to the necromongers or rebel, then you got a different menu with each choice! THEN the special features menu was a whole different animated background for each choice! So cool, i want to hang onto my dvd version just for that
The original matrix dvd was probably the best disc ever.
Think that's bad, I hear that most Nollywood movies are still sold on VCD. Because CDs are cheaper than DVDs. I know as an indie filmmaker I've been pricing out DVD vs Blu-ray for a 20th anniversary release of my first feature. Blu-ray is nearly three times the cost for the same amount of discs. Since my feature was shot on DV (standard definition) I have to ask myself if there is really much benefit to doing an upscale myself and paying three times more per disc. Especially when most DVD and Blu-ray players these days can do the upscaling just as well, and there are more DVD players out there then Blu-ray players, including all the Blu-ray players that can play DVDs. But I also may not even do a physical release at all. It just may not be worth it. Just figured I'd give you a different perspective.
Does it matter?
You tell me, you clicked on the video
@@CollectorCreations from the superficial thumbnail of her, I’d say you believe it doesn’t. But hard to truly know since you answer a question with your own question. Great Vid! Good Luck 👍
I hope people are seeing the light. We need physical media.
If the companies who made it doesn't want to make a physical release, it's fine to go buy good bootlegs. A good example too is the original theatrical cut of Star Wars Episode 4 5 & 6, hasn't been legally available other than a tiny limited DVD release, whoch was just a transfer of the Laserdisc releases
What makes you a judge? Are you an actor? A drama coach? I’m sorry but if you don’t have any related credentials then respectfully, what are you doing other than using her name to get views?
I don’t think most professional critics are actors/directors/editors etc yet they still have the right to judge so why shouldn’t I? Am I using her name to get views? Well this is TH-cam so take a wild guess. However the intention of the video came out of the genuine curiosity to analyse whether I think she is a good performer. I’ve done it with many actors in the past and I’ve come to different conclusions on each. Sweeney is an interesting actor though I don’t think she’s had many standout roles in the films she’s been in. Which was why I looked at several films that she’s been in to get an understanding as to whether she’s consistently good or not. Is this subjective and my own personal opinion? Yes. Does that mean I should refrain from making a video on the subject? No. I do film reviews and physical media reviews just the same. Am I a professional in any of these fields? No, but I am still allowed to voice my opinion on each matter respectively. But how would you know if I was a drama coach or an actor or not? You don’t know my credentials because they don’t matter, as this video is just as matter of opinion. I’m not here to speak badly of her, just to analyse and understand and see if there is more to her than meets the eye. I have as much right to criticise her as an actor as you have to criticise me as a reviewer.
@@CollectorCreations a much better and reasoned response than the rather ignorant and uncalled for comment deserved.
You already summed up my thoughts in the video. I'm all for film preservation, but I don't care about most of the obscure films that the boutiques are restoring. I'm a mainstream normie and I LOVE IT when boutiques release mainstream movies, because they give it way more respect than the major studios do most of the time.
^Blu-rays
I’ll be honest that’s what it was initially but I got another in and re-filmed and re-uploaded it and had to add the apostrophe so TH-cam wouldn’t go crazy and I forgot to remove it (which I have now)
@@CollectorCreations Oh really? I'll have to remember that for my own channel.
It might just be an old TH-cam thing where if it had the same title TH-cam would freak out. I usually add a different title like second cut or Final Cut or something when I render the file but still, once it’s uploaded and before I delete the original version that usually has all the details plugged in, I do a copy paste and then save it for publishing before deleting the original. I probably didn’t need to add the apostrophe but I did anyway and just forgot to remove it after deleting the original version
@@CollectorCreations Good advice. Thank you!
The times when the big studios put a lot of effort into the physical medium are long gone. It started with the introduction of the Blu-ray disk. The cover motifs were often Photoshop images and no longer the original drawn cover. In addition, there was less bonus material. In the worst case, there was only the trailer. But in times when the DVD was still popular, there was not only plenty of bonus material, but the DVD menu was also made with so much love and playful that it was simply fun. Now with the 4K UHD, which is already a niche market, things are not looking any better. I sometimes have the feeling that even less is being done with the 4K, not to mention that there have always been problems with playback or sound errors and then you wonder why many collectors and film fans are no longer satisfied. Then there's another thing that bothers me so much about the 4K format is the black Bluray cases because after a certain time a smear and gas builds up on the inside where strangely none of the collectors on TH-cam mentions anything.
I haven’t noticed anything wrong with the 4K cases but I agree that less has been provided per upgrade in format.
It is frustrating when your favorite movies get a physical media release with barebones features. It makes it feel like the studio doesn't care about the movie as much as you do. The latest Vacation 4K came with no special features. Ridiculous. And where's the other Vacation movies in 4K? Why don't we have a beautiful 4K box set with all of them yet? Where's all the American Pie movies in a 4K set? Better Call Saul box set? Even Game of Thrones, which actually DID get an amazIng bluray box set, got a really crappy 4K set released. Makes no sense. The Lord of the Rings ultimate collector's edition didn't even have all the special features in it!!! Like seriously? Insane! You didn't touch on this aspect in your video, but another thing that @cinemassacre talks about is how much better DVD menus were than blurays, and I agree. Studios just don't seem to put as much effort into releases anymore, they're more concerned about churning out movies to make money. Most of the time, this is why I like boutiques--they seem to care a lot more about their releases than the major studios do. I'm going to check out your channel and see what other videos you have. I'm really surprised you have no comments on this video after a week. Nice collection btw!
Yeah there are so many classic films with lovely 4K remasters and absolutely no special features. Like you said with Better Call Saul the only way I got a good amount of sf was to buy each season individually as they came out. The LOTR set being bares bones is also insane given how amazing the Appendices are (which I luckily have on DVD). Same goes with any Alien film, as you need the anthology set to get the 3 hour docos for each film. Yeah I’m surprised by the lack on comments on this video as well but it happens. I do admit that I haven’t discussed DVD menus in a great length because there are already a good amount of videos floating around - usually by people nostalgic for it who don’t even make physical media videos. Maybe I’ll make a video one day on it. In the meantime thanks for the response and I hope you like the rest off my videos
The incredible hulk 4k just went out of print as well.
This is the Ultimate Gem for a truly GWTW fan...!
Got a copy myself as I’m a huge fan of the film and only have an old DVD version which doesn’t look the best. Do you know whether there was only 1000 copies as mine says “Flim” instead of film on the outer case front and spine and looking online I’ve seen other similarly misspelled copies? It’s no major concern as the film and extras are what I wanted but I was wondering whether Umbrella had issued anything regarding the error? Still, fantastic film and the woman (Florinda Balkan) was also in the superb “Don’t Torture A Duckling” which I’m hoping will get a deluxe edition sometime …
There’s a limited amount of both the deluxe store exclusive and the standard slipcover version. If you ordered the deluxe edition you would know as it would say deluxe collectors edition. The standard version still has a sleeve and the special features (on the disc) just not the booklet or poster
Yeah, it’s the deluxe edition that has the misspelling on the hardcover slipcase. Like I said I’ve seen other similar copies. Anyway I messaged Umbrella earlier so hopefully I’ll find out. In the meantime I think I’ll watch it this evening
Awesome pick ups mate. Troma, of course 😂 That Toxic Advenger set looks mighty fine.I must update those dvds i got. I've seen Exiost 2 more times over the years than humanely possible. Yes, it's bad, but it's not the worst one in the series, that's for sure. Believer Anybody.The best sequel to The Exiost is still number 3.
Yeah those Troma films are something else. I’m definitely excited for Exorcist 2 but not for the film haha, just the commentary track given it was made by a friend who passed recently who was an avid fan of the film
@@CollectorCreations sorry to hear of the passing of your mate .
Thanks, it definitely makes for a unique reason to want a physical copy of the film
Good points mate. I'm on fence if realising mainstream will fund that hidden unknown little gem, then I'm ok with it. But it's a scary thought Shrek coming to Criterion 😂 But could happen 🤔 . I love Vinegar Syndrome it's like playing lucky dip you never know what to expect everything from Drop Dead Fred, a great family movie to Debbie Dose Dallas 2 and everything in between 😂🫠🤭🤭 and lets face it some of the best looking slip covers in the game if that is your thing.I personally don't get to see or get them often but when i do.....Dam they look good.
Yeah VS are amazing whether the film is garbage or not. Immaculate transfers, special features and set designs. It’ll be interesting to see if Criterion cave and eventually release more mainstream films like… Shrek 😅
There are movies I probably rewatch yearly. Those are the ones I own physically
Loved Arrow Academy and like Arrow Video a bit less! I could happily do without most of their giallo, horror and asian martial arts movies! But "THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E" is an excellent movie, worth defending, despite the enormous controversy surrounding Armie Hammer!
I feel like I’m in the opposite camp, mostly cause I love giallo and martial arts films but I still respect Arrow for what they release most of the time. I don’t mind the Man from U.N.C.L.E. film and it’s interesting that Arrow got the chance to do a release
Guess I'm showing my age!👍
I don’t really think you’re showing your age, but your taste for sure. Nevertheless you’re welcome to the films you enjoy and I don’t criticise that. My dad for example wouldn’t like the giallo films I enjoy but he would like the martial arts films. He’s a fan of the Man from Uncle film alway and is the only reason I’ve ever seen it
Got Road House from Vinegar Syndrome Got lots of Arrow films
Road House is a stunning release, Arrow has a lot of good releases as well
Richard Kelly...and yeah i wanna give more attention to "Southland Tales". has he done anything since The Box?
He hasn’t done anything since The Box
@@CollectorCreations well that's a crying shame cos that's three good films out of the gate...and you'd hope he at least got into exec/producing a bunch of similarly talented people. i'm always interested in people who directed one and only one film. done and dusted for whatever reason...be it death, disaffection, or total disinterest. Charles Laughton. Doris Fish. Rufus B Seder. Walter Murch. but any small, brief career does seem to belong to a special kind of film maker. some folks should've stopped at one while there are others I'm glad continued.
For Kelly it’s definitely that his films were confusing to most audiences (Southland Tales being an infamous example given it’s the second half of a narrative), but his films weren’t very successful financially and outside of Donnie Dark they weren’t critically regarded either. There’s a list of reasons why Kelly career died and that only scratches the surface.
ive got a DVD copy and its abysmal! it has the Australian ratings symbol of "M"(for mature audiences) on the front. whatever you think about the film (and i like it!) this should never have been released in this poor form. it feels like some illegal download, or they set up a video camera and filmed it badly off the tv. but just checking on Amazon there's a copy with the Australian "MA+ (restricted)" symbol and includes Scott Glenn and Alberta Watson's names above the title. Reviews seem to suggest this is a much better copy but still way below standard. another of the "M" rated ones says it remastered but no one seems to be able to speak of this, and the only run time seems to be 95 minutes.
Yes we have large classification labels on our releases, and they’re ugly and annoying. But the DVD release of The Keep is the best you’ll get, though I don’t think it looks like a camcorder rip like you say. The 90 odd minute version is the only version of the film that exists
Let's get Harry Directed by Allan Smithee. I like this movie it's actually not that bad. I think viavision recently released it. You just reminded me to get a copy of The Keep.
I have been searching for it recently online but have seen it online and might get it on dvd
The DVD from viavision is the best physical release but there are bootleg Blu-rays floating around
Thanks for this. There wasn't even a thread for this film on the blu ray forum, let alone any discussion of the Imprint release. The stereo track is a bit of a bummer.
Interesting that no one else has discussed this release. It is a really solid release from Imprint even if the audio mix is downgraded but it never really needed a 7.1 to begin with (although I would’ve been happy if they had ported that to this release anyway)
I saw the keep in the cinema, my first date, here in Ireland back in 83, iam now 57 and remember it well.
It’s a great film
There is a director's cut of THE KEEP: the novel by F. Paul Wilson.
Rodney you cheeky devil
it is a really good novel... and different enough to be quite a decent vampire story, quite apart from the usual Dracula style. but i can see why Michael Mann chose to divorce the aesthetic entirely from the Victorian/gothic approach and come up with something wholly original.
Great tribute. Thank you, He
people buy dvds because there cheaper and i have never had any interest in watching or buying blu rays or 4k's at all and i am very happy with buys dvds when once in a while when i want to
companies won't removed dvds from the market because they make the more money then blu rays and 4k's by alot so why would u get ridr of your format thats making u the most money
Oh look. A movie that The Cinema Snob reviewed.

Firstly I was talking about Alien. Secondly I am talking about in Australia
I believe dirt on the negative clusters around the reel change overs...ever 20 minutes.
that alien disc is one of the best looking 4ks there is
That’s true
I bought that legally blonde collection on Blu Ray for the wife from Amazon US via Amazon Au because she loves those movies and we didn't get a Blu Ray release here in Australia
Yeah I imported it because of the sale but also cause we don’t have a release in Aus
The Columbia Noir # 6 is region locked so I had to use my backup 4K player to watch it The back up player is a Panasonic DP-UB820 which also plays my region 1 Criterion Blu Ray's
Interesting that it’s region locked but it does say region B on the back so that doesn’t surprise me. It’s definitely a nice set that I hope to dive into soon especially given how short the films are
I bought the Columbia Noir #6 during the prime day sale and we watched the first 2 last Saturday night as a double feature as they only go for about 60 mins each and loved them
Have you ever seen STREET TRASH from 1987?
No I haven’t
@@CollectorCreations if you liked TOXIC AVENGER you might dig STREET TRASH, very outrageous and OTT like the best Troma flicks but has a much blacker sense of humour and is a more well though-out and constructed.
Interesting, I’ll keep an eye out for it
I love Street Trash. Had it on vhs back in the day I do own it on dvd. It clames to be the first melt movie.
GRIZZLY is a gem, fond memories of seeing at the drive-in with my oldest sister. Probably my fave of the JAWS rip-offs! The original TOXIC AVENGER is so much crazy fun, sadly I didn't find any of the sequels very memorable...looking forward to hearing your thoughts on them.
I’m very excited to see Grizzly. I’m definitely interested in seeing the Toxic Avenger sequels, mostly because I did like the first one but I enjoyed it enough to want to get the 4K set which I’ll hopefully enjoy but yes I’ll keep you posted on that
Wow I literally did the same thing last year. Should I sell it?
I’d consult my local doctor before doing anything
@@CollectorCreations I think you’re right. My doctor said I’d be crazy to sell it.
One thing interesting that happened is that the void felt by the death of Random Space Media in Australia has now been filled by Turbine in Germany. Without that mantle being taken up, the 3D Blu-ray format would be at death's door.. but now we're getting Mission Impossible, Migration, Scream 6, Bumblebee/ROTB and more in stereo 3D!
I had no idea that Random Space had closed down. I used to get film box sets from them every once in a while
You Aussies got hosed. In the US the Disney Movie Club had a liquidation sale and I got dozens of blus for $10 and the 4ks including the Cameron 4ks such as the 4 disc Avatar releases for about $12 each.
I'm in the US and couldn't find the 4 disc Avatar 4k anywhere. I refused to pay $50+ at launch. I ended up getting it for $33 on EBay. That was a fair price but I would have rather paid $12. I did buy one of the 4k Disney steel books, Moana for $10 but other than Avatar 2: Way of Water at release, I haven't gotten any other Disney movies recently.
