My feelings about Alpha Video are mixed. They have some rare stuff, but the image quality is sometimes VERY bad. Contrasty, washed out, needle drop scores...all the hallmarks of cheepie presentations of silent films on video. But, most of their films sell for five bucks or less, so, you can't really...

I am wondering if the Eye logo is a television network logo, or an archive logo. If TV network, what country? I see one in Pakistan.

I have difficulty with accepting the 1912 centennial for Paramount. Zukor did important a French production in 1912 and W.W. Hodkinson did found Paramount Pictures in 1914 but a more realistic centennial year for the true Paramount Pictures will be 2016. By 1916 Paramount was a Zukor/Lasky entity a...

Wish they could of talked more about the films and Ince himself, but it's still an interesting video.

Thought this was kinda neat.
So, I thought I'd share.

Anybody have any info on this release? This looks like a "sonorised" version of the film with sound effects. If so, this might be pretty interesting to view.

Now here's a question. How much of J. P.'s stuff is on dvd? I know there's two Hazards of Helen films on the "Treasures" dvd sets ...Episode 13 & 26... and Grapevine Video Is listing nine films...

[/quote] Mmmmmmmm. OK, I guess I was lucky to have some public television stations and "fright night" channels where they would sometimes drop in a silent every once in a while, because that's where I learned all about them and realized at a young age that the Moroder version was just crap. Maybe it...

I've purchased some videos of their commercial compilations. They used to sell'em back in the mid-90's on late night television. I think the real name of the company is Video Resources run by a guy named Ira H Gallen. They've uploaded buttloads of silent stuff on youtube and they all appear to have ...

I'd go back in time just to see some missing films---or just films in general---it'd be interesting to see the original audience for something like Metropolis...and go shopping for Black Patti 78's.

So, last year I noticed that this title had disappeared from Kino's mail catalogs. They're still selling their other Riefenstahl films, but why not this one? Rights expire or something? Anyone know of any reissue plans? (On a hunch, I ordered a copy last December from Wallmart's website. It was arou...

I've got to say, I have a liking for Larry Semon, at least in excerpts. He could be very annoying, and his films became repetitious (explosions, various messy liquids to fall into, often from high buildings) but along with the grotesque exterior there's an almost balletic body language, very like L...

I'd say 7-ish. Love'em enough that I'll search out rare titles on dvd-rs from obscure companies---but not enough that I'll pay multiple hundreds of dollars for 16mm prints of them.

This is just a little heads-up for anyone interested, that the Unknown Video website will flicker out and go away in the next couple of days, never to return.

last silent I got was Riders of the Law

Cost about five bucks.

Quality was about what you'd expect for five bucks

But I love indie silent westerns, and sure enough, I liked this one.
