There are few movies that have matched up to the acclaim and box office success of James Cameron's "Titanic." Packed with romance, suspense, drama, and big screen spectacle inspired by a historical tragedy, it's of the greatest films ever made. However, what "Titanic" has been missing is a proper release in the top high-definition format, but that changes this winter.
Paramount Home Entertainment has announced that James Cameron's "Titanic" has been remastered for release on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc, and it will be released just in time for Christmas on December 5, 2023.
Along with a ton of legacy special features from previous home video releases, there are also a handful of new featurettes with reflections from Cameron himself, as well as star Kate Winslet and producer Jon Landau. Sadly, it seems like Leonardo DiCaprio was just too busy to partake in any of the new retrospective bonus features, which...

(To celebrate "Titanic" and its impending 25th-anniversary re-release, we've put together a week of explorations, inquires, and deep dives into James Cameron's box office-smashing disaster epic.)
Legend has it that before James Cameron wrote a single word of his "Titanic" script, he got his hands on a Ken Marschall painting of the original ship, slapped it down before the producers at 20th Century Fox, and made his pitch with six simple words: "'Romeo and Juliet' on that ship." Needless to say, James Cameron is a man with a vision.
The king of spectacle blockbusters knows a thing or two about money well spent and has the success stories to prove it: thanks to "Avatar: The Way of Water," Cameron has now helmed three of the highest-grossing films in history, the other two being 2009's "Avatar" and, of course, "Titanic" itself. So it won't surprise you to learn...

It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World*: Criterion Collection Edition #692
Stanley Kramer followed his harrowing Oscar winner Judgment at Nuremberg with the most grandly harebrained movie ever made, a pileup of slapstick and borscht-belt-y one-liners about a group of strangers fighting tooth and nail over buried treasure. Performed by a nonpareil cast, including Milton Berle, Sid Caesar, Ethel Merman, Mickey Rooney, Spencer Tracy, Jonathan Winters, and a boatload of other playing-to-the-rafters comedy legends, Kramer’s wildly uncharacteristic film is an exhilarating epic of tomfoolery. Supplemental Features: an audio commentary featuring It’s a Mad,...

A few years ago the editors of Shadowlocked asked me to compile a list of what was initially to be, the ten greatest movie matte paintings of all time. A mere ten selections was too slim by a long shot, so my list stretched considerably to twenty, then thirty and finally a nice round fifty entries. Even with that number I found it wasn’t easy to narrow down a suitably wide ranging showcase of motion picture matte art that best represented the artform. So with that in mind, and due to the surprising popularity of that 2012 Shadowlocked list (which is well worth a visit, here Ed), I’ve assembled a further fifty wonderful examples of this vast, vital and more extensively utilised than you’d imagine – though now sadly ‘dead and buried’ – movie magic.

The thriller Raise The Titanic was a $40m flop in 1980, its model Titanic alone costing millions. Ryan charts the replica's sad history...
By autumn 1977, author Clive Cussler was the toast of the publishing world. Following a decade of writing and two moderately successful novels, his third book, Raise The Titanic! was a runaway bestseller. Its popularity was a contrast to Cussler's earlier books, which had earned him a relatively meagre $5,000. But those earlier adventures - The Mediterranean Caper and Iceberg - helped establish the daring hero Dirk Pitt, a practical, earthy hero designed as a counterpoint to the suave, refined James Bond.
For Raise The Titanic!, Cussler dreamed up a scenario in which Pitt headed up a multi-billion-dollar operation to find and recover the doomed luxury liner, which sank in 1912. Their goal: to recover a mysterious, incredibly rare substance called byzantium from the ship's belly - a...

Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close (Warner Bros.) An eleven year-old boy (newcomer Thomas Horn, in an incredible debut) discovers a mysterious key amongst the possessions of his late father (Tom Hanks) who perished in 9/11. Determined to find the lock it matches, the boy embarks on a Picaresque odyssey across New York City. Director Stephen Daldry and screenwriter Eric Roth have fashioned a film both grand and intimate, beautifully-adapted from Jonathan Safran Foer’s novel, thought by most who read it to be unfilmable. Fine support from Jeffrey Wright, Sandra Bullock, John Goodman, Viola Davis and the great Max von Sydow. Also available on Blu-ray disc. Bonuses: Featurettes. Widescreen. Dolby and DTS-hd 5.1 surround.
Battle Royale: The Complete Collection (Anchor Bay) Adapted from Koushun Takami’s polarizing novel (compared by champions and detractors alike as a 21st century version of A Clockwork Orange) and set in a futuristic Japan,...

A Night to Remember Directed by Roy Ward Baker Written by Eric Ambler Starring: Kenneth More, Ronald Allen, Robert Ayres, Honor Blackman With the 100 year anniversary of the Titanic disaster coming up on April 15th, one can expect an onslaught of television specials, films, and books looking back at one of the world's worst nautical disasters. Criterion's blu ray release of Roy Ward Baker's 1958 docudrama A Night to Remember is a strategically timed reminder that before James Cameron's 'Romeo and Juliet on a boat', there was this detailed, cinematic account of the sinking of an otherwise unsinkable ship. I think synopsizing the events that took place during the Titanic's maiden voyage is pretty much pointless at this point. After James Cameron's romantic take on the story became one of the top grossing films of all time, everybody seems to be familiar with the basic chain of events.
