Movie Review: A sultry movie
Summary: 3 Stars
I loved this movie, although this isn't a movie for everyone. First it's a mystery that's predictable. Second, there are no special effects and not a lot of action. To anyone under 30 it would be old fashion. Made in 1981 it is the kind of story that was common in the 40's. Having said that, Kathleen Turner shines as a conniving sex goddess and displays as much nudity as any modern movie. This was a really big deal when it came out. John Hurt is totally smitten with her but what about the rich husband?
As another reviewer indicated, little if anything is gained by watching it in blu-ray. The diner scene has a white overcast that is supposed to give it a mystical quality but turns me off. The same technique was used in a scene of "Aviator" and it almost spoiled the movie for me.
Movie Review: Great movie - Lousy Blu Ray!
Summary: 1 Stars
Body Heat is one of my all time favorite movies so please don't assume the low rating is for content. Rather, I'm critisizing the extremely poor image quality of the Blu Ray version of this otherwise great movie. I've had the standard DVD version for several years and, played on my Oppo upconverting DVD player, it was fine. Still, when the Blu Ray version came out I ordered it right away, foolishly ahead of the reviews.
As it turns out, this is one of those lousy Blu Ray disks that was released without regard to image quality - merely to get it to market. Sadly, if there's a difference with my old disk I can't see it, and that's on a 60" Sony HDTV. They should be ashamed of themselves for foisting this garbage on an unsuspecting public.
The bottom-line; hereafter I'll wait for the reviews and not be duped again by studios that are after a quick buck.
Movie Review: A dreadful transfer of a great movie
Summary: 1 Stars
I've seen a few Blu-Ray discs that aren't much of an improvement over the DVD, but this is a rarity, a Blu-Ray that actually looks bad. I already traded in my DVD and it's been a few years, so I can't see if it looks any better, but this is no improvement. The colors are faded and washed out, the picture is generally blurry and limp, and it's really not much different than watching an old VHS tape.
Some interior scenes, particularly those that take place in the diner, are completely washed out by bright sunlight coming in through the windows. These scenes look downright terrible. The rest of the movie is barely adequate.
If you already have this film on DVD, I'd recommend saving your money and avoiding this purchase. I have about sixty Blu-Ray discs and this is the first one I genuinely regret buying.
