I'm sorry if this forum section is a wrong place for such a thread, but I didn't find any more appropriate section. There's a retailer subforum for SteelBook editions, but not for regular ones.
Anyway, KinoLorber are very 'productive' lately, spewing out releases left and right. They've also re-released a lot of previously available films on BD, added a commentary track, sometimes just from some unrelated movie critic, and sometimes upgraded sound from 2.0 or 4.0 to 5.1.
They've done that to a few Michael J. Fox movies, like The Secret of My Success, The Hard Way, and For Love or Money.
Which, fair to say, were available all over Europe, but not in the US.
They also re-released a lot of Mill Creek Blu-rays, which were often released in double feature discs (dual-sided), as well as separately.
I mean titles like D.O.A. with Meg Ryan and Consenting Adults; or One Good Cop with Michael Keaton and A Stranger Among Us with Melanie Griffith.
All added a commentary, and maybe upgraded audio, although I have doubts about it not being just a fake, blown up 5.1, still sounding the same as 2.0.
I know, after 23 years, that I will not be listening to those audio commentaries, and don't care about the audio for these older movies, but what does bother me, is if they've somehow upgraded the picture quality.
There's about a dozen such releases that I'm not sure, if I need to upgrade.
Anyone purchase aforementioned titles, or knows if KinoLorber used different transfers, than Mill Creek, or Universal, in case of M. J. Fox ones?
