Lynch's debut film finally lands at Criterion
on August 6, 2015
Posted by: DWolfe47
Verified Purchase:Yes
After years of speculation The Criterion Collection has released the ultimate edition of David Lynch's nightmarish cult classic in a new 4K restoration from the great director himself. Sporting a much darker look that compliments the dark visual style, Eraserhead looks an absolute marvel with a natural fresh from the cutting room feel to the overall presentation. Sound design plays a huge role in Lynch's work so luckily the sound quality is of absolute perfection as well as the enormous amount of features that Criterion has become well-known for including the initial short films that spawned his career and a lengthy 60 page booklet featuring an excerpt from the book Lynch on Lynch which is an extensive interview with the director. Criterion has done justice to this film in a way beyond I even expected.

Dark, cynical take on a Jim Thompson classic
on August 6, 2015
Posted by: DWolfe47
Verified Purchase:Yes
Based on Jim Thompson's seminal novel, The Grifters is now an appreciated film in the neo-noir genre with great performances all around especially Burton-era Batman series' Commissioner Gordon's Pat Hingle as a mob boss with a morbid thing for oranges. The transfer on the recent Lionsgate Blu-ray (albeit same as the limited release that was put out by Echo Bridge a couple years back so if you have that you technically have the new release) is fairly strong with a nice filmic look and the sound isn't shabby either. The downside of the release though is the lack of special features which were featured on previous releases of the film. All in all though if you still have Miramax's Special Edition DVD from yesteryear then it shouldn't be too much a pain given the price of the new Blu-ray.

My favorite film of the decade so far
on August 5, 2015
Posted by: DWolfe47
Verified Purchase:Yes
A nice throwback to 60's/'70's filmmaking with a thick, often complicated Raymond Chandler-esque plot set at the tail end of the 1960's in post-Manson murders L.A. where everyone is the on the edge and government conspiracies are making way for the new era. The film's gorgeous cinematography really shines on the Blu-ray preserving the soft, shimmering grain levels of the film stock P.T. Anderson wisely chose to shoot this with. Extras are sadly light especially given how much insightful press was done for this film on YouTube which would have made great supplements to the release. But I won't let that affect my score too much as on the plus side the extra disc space goes towards the film's top-notch presentation.

The Best Elmore Leonard adaptation to date
on August 5, 2015
Posted by: DWolfe47
Verified Purchase:Yes
While this film has received a lot of well-deserved praise it does feel like it's overshadowed by it's bigger and crazier predecessor Pulp Fiction and that's a shame because this is the film where Tarantino shows signs of maturing as a director and I would say it's next to Reservoir Dogs as my personal favorite of his. The Blu-ray transfer supervised by Tarantino is leap years above the now aged Special Edition DVD in terms of clarity and color and the audio is no slouch either. Extras are about the same as the previous releases but the DVD release was already loaded and at the Blu-ray's current price the lack of a lot of newer extras can be overlooked.

The remaster that the film deserves
on August 5, 2015
Posted by: DWolfe47
Verified Purchase:Yes
After a rocky history of home video releases Goodfellas has received the release it deserves with this new 4K restoration by Scorsese and sporting a new HD audio mix which is a huge improvement over the previous Blu-ray's DVD-era 5.1. mix. Extras are the same as the previous release except for the new documentary on Scorsese's mark on the crime genre and the hardcover booklet featuring plenty of great photos as well as words on the influence of the film.
