Red Rock West (1993) Vinegar Syndrome Cinématographe Blu-ray Review And Umbrella Comparison!

[@davidjames2431]

I like how you're putting the title page screen of the movie your reviewing in the background. It's a nice touch.

[@Starkardur]

07:13 - The Girl was played by Joanne Whalley-Kilmer, Val Kilmer's then wife. She goes by Joanne Whalley nowadays.

One of the best films from 1993 that nobody really talks about. And I picked up the red rock west bluray from Umbrella.

[@roachman1412]

I agree it's one of the best Nicholas Cage ever made has a great cast Venagar done a great job, it deserves the package it got I still have the dvd still had the receipt in the box 22.99 from media play 2001

[@tomboling2309]

@@roachman1412 holly cow you know about media play. I used to work for media play from 1997 to 2005. Talk about a time to be a physical media film lover. Bc media play had every movie 🎥 that you would want to buy. And if it was not available in store media play would order it for you

I bought the VS edition. So far my best pickup for the year.

[@VHSTOYS]

Gotta love Vinegar Syndrome, I had that one in my list for a while and after seeing your review I’m definitely buying for my B-Day

[@biscaynekid]

I purchased the VS release. I celebrate the entire Nicolas Cage catalog, and this is one that I’ve been waiting to hit HD here in the US for years. This is a great Cage film that’s hardly talked about. Definitely a hidden gem in his filmography. Now if we can get Bringing Out The Dead in HD. Hard to believe a Martin Scorsese film, especially one as good as that one, does not have an HD release.

[@TotalMeltdown2]

Lara Flynn Boyle was also in Baby's Day Out and Men In Black 2

[@adamdbowman]

I preordered the umbrella version as soon as it was available. I didn't like how vinegar syndrome just dropped their version outta nowhere. But I think I'm just gonna stick with my umbrella version.

[@dagbman]

VS transfer is better.

[@andrewgreen2986]

That packaging is actually called a MediaBook. Always with a numbered edition J-card. And the custom molded flat black logo tray on the back is amazing.

[@roachman1412]

I know this is silly but I liked the blinking eye on the disc menu it's a neat label recognition

[@ungraduatedmedia]

💯 very much like Blood Simple and the Cohen brothers style. This Red Rock West film REALLY surprised me. A very good neo-noir ish film that as you say, if others like this then check out this film. I too have the VS release and am happy to have it. Nice comparison bother.

[@zolarwaka8576]

I’ve had this on DVD forever. Just watched it last night and it looks surprisingly great. So I don’t need to buy this.

[@boratliff]

Coincidentally, Lara Flynn Boyle was in Men in Black 2. I have an Italian import of RRW. It's a bare bones release. I may upgrade to vs.

[@chuckhagen1612]

If I knew VS was gonna release it very shortly after Umbrella, I would have waited. Still very happy with the Umbrella transfer though. Great review as always, glad VS didn’t blow away Umbrellas, then I would be bummed.

[@dagbman]

I think the VS transfer is far better than the Umbrella disc.

[@B.DAnthony92]

I got the vinegar syndrome one

[@caseykod4406]

Agreed on boxed sets vs digibooks. I especially prefer the Vinegar Syndrome Ultra packaging with the magnetic clasp.

[@ToddWatchingStuff]

I am pretty sure Umbrella licenses their releases from other labels for Aussie release

[@Jonny-cw2bi]

I picked up both copies..

[@jessewarren4372]

I picked up the unbrella release for it in store after I got it home I noticed it said region b so I was worried but it played

[@Purge00]

Great film - real desert gothic black humour. I have the Plan B release and I waited about 15 years for it to get to blu now VS has it and it's annoying me so much because I would prefer the vs release. Are they all from the same scan?

[@midlevelmedia]

Umbrella is likely the same scan as Plan B, but Vinegar is a new 4K scan.

[@johnpublic7796]

Christopher Coppola is Nicholas Cage's brother.

Hey what's going on with this channel? Ken hasn't uploaded anything in over a week, or issued any updates as far as ive seen on here.

[@midlevelmedia]

I've had a few updates. Check my community tab. I shall return soon...

[@metalgrinch]

@@midlevelmedia I have no clue what a community tab is lol

[@midlevelmedia]

@@metalgrinch Go to my actual channel home page and scroll right through the videos and lives until you see a tab called “community,” then click that

[@simongagne6696]

Do not pronounce the last e. Cinematograph is the way to pronounce it. It's French.

[@Theomite]

It's pronounced "seen-EH-mAH-toh-grAHff" because if it was "grAHfee" or "grAH-FAY" there would be an accent on the last "e." Never seen this film (saw it A LOT on the shelves in video stores though) but I do want that VS edition. I'm debating whether to wait for the 4K or just double-dip.

[@24framedavinci39]

Whoever told you to pronounce cinematography like that is either trolling or room temp IQ. Source: me. Between me and my father, we have over 40 years in post production. Not once have I heard it pronounced that way.

[@midlevelmedia]

I know how to pronounce the regular word, but it’s supposedly different for the actual Vinegar Syndrome line
