Thanks to an extra bonus episode, season two of Legion will last a week longer on FX. But eventually it’s going to be over and there’ll be nothing to do but wait for season 3. At least you can revisit Legion: Season 1 on Blu-ray and try to find things you missed the first time. […]
The Hurricane Heist is the kind of movie we need. Just think of an outrageous idea and do it. Rob Cohen totally delivered with this one, and people should have appreciated it in theaters. Also, Feist should’ve done the theme song so she could be The Hurricane Feist. They built a whole American town in […]
I’m a little late to my Oscar Blu-rays, but Phantom Thread joins The Shape of Water, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri and The Post as a fine example of 2017 cinema. It’s great to see 70mm film represented in HD. It’s bright. The subtleties between natural, artificial and firelight are noticeable. The actors look like […]
With cinematography among its Oscar nominations and production design among its four wins, The Shape of Water looks majestic on Blu-ray. The amphibian (Doug Jones)’s shiny wet scales with bright light emanating from within glow in your living room. You can see all the detail in the decrepit apartment and classic cinema underneath. Each set […]
The visuals of Wakanda look great on Blu-ray. All the colors of the African costumes and locations stun in HD. You can see every grain of red sand in the ceremony. Seeing reproductions of comic book pages in HD in the bonus features never gets old either. Bonus features pay attention to the actual African […]
Well, I didn’t think it could get any more wonderful than seeing Paddington 2 on the big screen. It turns out it looks even lovelier in high definition on Blu-ray. I’ve visited London and never seen it this bright. It’s a high definition idealization with the bright yellow Brown family home, carnival colors, and even […]
My memories of Cyborg are not from watching it, although I know I rented it once. My memory is that in 1989 my cable system just got pay per view and I would watch the preview channels. The Cyborg trailer was in heavy rotation and it pretty much included all the fight scenes. Watching Cyborg […]
Fargo is one of the best shows on television, but it looks like it’s going to be a while before we get a new season. So we’ll just have to tide ourselves over revisiting the latest season and going behind the scenes on DVD. The bonus features are promos so they’re not much use if you’ve […]
Murder on the Orient Express is a good looking film on Blu-ray. I’s full of dark moody lighting in individual cabins and ornate details of the train. Bright snow in the background is striking. It’s green screen but a detailed background. Bookend locations are stunning. 70mm transfers to digital flawlessly. Deleted scenes are full of […]
The Mountain Between Us didn’t make much of an impact in theaters last year. What it does offer is amazing visuals for Blu-ray, and more if you have 4K. The snow looks like Disney’s Frozen only it’s real! In the flyovers you could count the individual trees if that were something you wanted to do. […]
