Cold Case S02E11 – Blank Generation Full HD Screencaps

The year was 1978. Teenager Matthew Adams is a member of a cult. He killed himself. Or did he?

The KM UK Summer Of HD 2013 contines with Cold Case episode Blank Generation.

Keen to rescue their relative, the Adams family hired a person to extract and errr… un-brainwash him. Is “brain-dirty” a thing?

Nearly 30 years later Matthew’s sister comes to the Cold Case squad with new evidence. Lilly gets a surprise at home and Scotty receives some tragic news.

314 Full HD (1080p) Lilly screencaps from the episode can now be found in the Gallery.

The Single Side/Layer Of Life

The Sweeter Side Of Life was released on DVD in the United States yesterday (16 July 2013).

The image on the right might be a “3D” shot of the DVD box but the actual product is a lot more one dimensional. Having got hold of a copy of the disc I thought I’d post an update so if you are considering purchase you’ll know what you are getting.

A comprehensive list of the contents of the disc is as follows:

The film

That’s it. Unless you count the main menu and the “scene selection” screens, which I know I don’t. There are no extras. Not even the Special Features video KM UK brought to you two months ago. To be fair, the packaging makes no claims of any extras, and doesn’t even try the common trick of adding the “interactive menus” to a back-of-the-box list of features. The thing is does add is further disappointment.

The DVD is a single-sided/single-layer disc, meaning it has a capacity of 4.2GBytes. The film does fill the available space. Extras would have meant sacrificing some picture quality or go with a more expensive dual-layer disc. This will be the approach taken with the two-films-in-one-box package with Meddling Mom reported on here last month. The only complaint about the picture quality that we are not given the option of a full HD Blu-ray version. What’s the point of using the 4K RED cameras for filming if you are going to shrink that down to standard definition sizes?

So, to sum up: The DVD of The Sweeter Side Of Life contains the film The Sweeter Side Of Life. To quote a higher intellect than mine “That’s all folks!”

The Sweeter Side Of Life DVD Released Today

Just a quick reminder.

The Hallmark TV movie The Sweeter Side Of Life, starring Kathryn and James Best (Roscoe P Coltrane in The Dukes Of Hazzard) is out today (16 July 2013) on DVD in the United States. The film first aired on TV in America back in mid-January.

Those that pre-ordered the disc it could very well have had it delivered this morning.

Details of US online retailers can be found in a previous post and KM UK’s review of the film can be found here.

As you can see on the right we now have a picture of the back of the DVD case. The eagle-eyed amongst you may have spotted the QR code in the lower-right corner of the image. Scanning it will give a URL which eventually takes you to a promo video on YouTube. It is the standard 30 second long trailer we are familiar with.

If you are getting to see the film for the first time remember to come back and let us know what you thought.

Surgical Strike!

This was unexpected!

We thought it was completely dead and buried. Never to be seen or heard of again. But no! It takes one final dying breath. One last blip on the ECG before flat-lining.

After failing to be picked up to series it was likely that the Surgeon General pilot would remain locked up in the deepest of CBS’s vaults “on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet, stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard’” (points for getting that reference) and forgotten about forever. Luckily for us PR and marketing company The Cimarron Group had other ideas.

Last Friday, for reasons unknown, Cimarron announced to the world that the show was “coming this fall to CBS”. They are wrong about that, it won’t. However, they were kind enough to post a “sizzle reel” promotional video to go with it. The promo would have been used at the Upfront events if Surgeon General ever got that far. Which it didn’t.

In the video we get to see all the major cast (“Hello to” Jason Issacs, Mike Colter, Beth Riesgraf, Paul McCrane, Anna Deavere Smith, Clancy Brown and Katherine McNamara) including Kathryn, who features prominently in several scenes. Sean Astin is notable by his absence though.

Just to reiterate: this does not mean the show will be made or that the pilot will ever be broadcast.

A set of screencaps and a small copy of the video are now in the Gallery for your viewing pleasure.

As is so often the case we must offer our huge thanks to Kareen_T for passing this along.

Kathryn’s Guest Protocol

Yesterday Johnny Messner (he of soon-to-be-a-double-father fame) Tweeted about a new film project he is working on.

The movie is called The Protocol, it is a short film, and is the first to be produced by Johnny’s own “Johnny Be Goode” production company 😕

Said to star are Max Ryan (Death Race), Xen Sia (Casino Jack, on the right and below with Kathryn), Joel Cavness, Will Crown and one Kathryn Morris (Cold Case). We really can’t imagine how Johnny managed to get such a talented, successful and high profile TV and film star like Kathryn to take the job

Filming has been going on the past couple of days and could very well be continuing today (14 July 2013).

No word so far on what the film is actually about or Kathryn’s role in it. There is a military theme and from the photos there appears to be an interrogation element to it. That falls well within Kathryn’s realm of experience, though she looks to be on the other side of the desk this time.

Various cast and crew have posted on set photos. Thanks and credit to them. We have collated the ones with Kathryn in them and added them to the KM UK the Gallery.

More news when we get it.
