Great Summer entertainment

The initial reviews for Super 8 were glowing. The later ones were mixed. Thus I was a bit leaary when I purchased this blu ray. However, much to my relief and happiness, I found myself agreeing with the glowing early ratings. This is pure escapism with a plethora of special effects that challenges top notch sound and video systems. Take away some occasional bad language by the kids who ara the the main focus of the story and it could have been vintage Spielberg. That said, the language was not near as bad as some reviewers suggested. It was just modern "kis-speak." While not a TV reviewer I give Super 8 but thimbs up.
What's great about it: Terrific special effects
What's not so great: A few curse words could have been left out
I would recommend this to a friend!

Even better in blu ray

I am not a big action movie guy, but thoroughly enjoyed this film. The leads are terrific, the pacing is tight, and the explosions and crashes are not gratitious. It is well written, with ocassional bits of humor added as counter-balance to the suspence. The blu ray picture is improved over the dvd but the big difference is in the sound. A top notch sound system makes this baby come alive-it's like you're back in the theater seeing it for the first time.
What's great about it: Tight suspence
What's not so great: One damsel in peril scene too many

Flawed bur excellent film

The Deer Hunter is a flawed masterpiece. The acting is top notch, the photography superb, and the directing terrific-to a point. Cimino's ego (which alater almost bankrupted a studio and pretty much killed his career) is on full display as he lets too many scenes go on too long. Still, it's a fine work that manages to be simple and complex at the same time. Regarding the blu ray transfer, it is positively gorgeous, putting the dvd copies to shame.
What's great about it: Gorgeous photography and wonderful acting
What's not so great: Too long

Great Blu ray transfer

If you ever saw To Catch a Thief in the theaters, you will love this transfer. The Blu ray takes the muted colors of the dvd and brings them alive. They are vibrant and crisp-indeed, like they were on movie screens when the film was released. The film itself is a triffle-but a delightful one-with the two gorgeous stars playing against even more gorgeous sceenery. It's old fashioned movie making and well worth having in your collection.
What's great about it: Hey, it's hitch.
What's not so great: Not Hitch at his best, but it's still Hitch.
