The Ohio Sci-Fi and Horror Marathons

During the TCM Classic Film Festival, held recently in Los Angeles, renowned film critic Leonard Maltin introduced a new digital restoration of the 1933 classic King Kong, which was shown at Grauman's Chinese Theater. Maltin later revealed in his blog that this restoration will "yield a Blu-ray home video release later this year."

Maltin also commented that the film looked "magnificent" on the "huge" theater screen. "Best of all," he added, "it didn't have the look of a spruced-up video: it was as if we were watching a pristine 35mm print. And it was preceded by Max Steiner's original overture."

Last night, I was at my brother's house and we threw in the restored Blu-Ray of "Sleeping Beauty". I was astonished at how good it looked.

I can only hope that "Kong" gets the same treatment. If it does, I'm going to be very, very happy.
