Movie Reviews of GoodFellas [Blu-ray]

Movie Review: Goodfellas
Summary: 5 Stars

This is one of my all time favorite movies, I owned the VHS, and the dvd, I was excited to buy the blu-ray when it came out, I've seen this blu-ray version about 3 times now, It gets better with each viewing.

I'm not going to talk about the movie in this review, suffice it to say, it is one of the best movies of all time, one of the best gangster movies, and an all around fun movie to watch.

This review is more for those deciding on buying this when they already have the dvd.

This blu-ray has one of the best transfers I have seen, the movie is quite old, but looks much better than the dvd does upconverted. The colors are dark and rich, great contrast and you can see lots of detail. The movie has never looked so good. The movie does have some scenes that show its age, where you can see flecks of dust and marks on the film, but it doesn't detract from the picture, it just adds character.

I have seen some other "classics" put out on HD-DVD and Blu-ray, even some new movies shot within the last 2-3 years. Many of these are very soft, and inconsistent as a transfer. This movie, is perfect, all the way through, the transfer does not disappoint. It is deep, dark, well saturated, and nothing looks soft, light, or bad.

Where this disc shines, is the commentary, you get to hear commentary from Henry Hill (the guy the movie is based on, and FBI agent Edward McDonald) he discusses how the movie really compares to his real life, and he is quite entertaining. The disc also has a few other bonus features, and the movie trailer, which is nice.

All in all, this is an amazing movie, with a fantastic transfer loaded with features. You cant go wrong with this one, It's great, and for Amazon's low price, it's a steal.

Summary of GoodFellas [Blu-ray]

When Martin Scorsese, one of the world's most skillful and respected directors, reunited with two-time Oscar-winner Robert De Niro in GoodFellas, the result was one of the most powerful films of the year. Based on the true-life best seller Wiseguy by Nicholas Pileggi and backed by a dynamic pop/rock oldies soundtrack, critics and filmgoers alike declared GoodFellas great. It was named 1990's best film by the New York, Los Angeles and National Society of Film Critics. And it earned six Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture and Best Director. Robert De Niro received wide recognition for his performance as veteran criminal Jimmy "The Gent" Conway. And as the volatile Tommy DeVito, Joe Pesci walked off with the Best Supporting Actor Oscar. Academy Award nominee Lorraine Bracco, Ray Liotta and Paul Sorvino also turned in electrifying performances. You have to see it to believe it - then watch it again. GoodFellas explores the criminal life like no other movie.

Martin Scorsese's 1990 masterpiece GoodFellas immortalizes the hilarious, horrifying life of actual gangster Henry Hill (Ray Liotta), from his teen years on the streets of New York to his anonymous exile under the Witness Protection Program. The director's kinetic style is perfect for recounting Hill's ruthless rise to power in the 1950s as well as his drugged-out fall in the late 1970s; in fact, no one has ever rendered the mental dislocation of cocaine better than Scorsese. Scorsese uses period music perfectly, not just to summon a particular time but to set a precise mood. GoodFellas is at least as good as The Godfather without being in the least derivative of it. Joe Pesci's psycho improvisation of Mobster Tommy DeVito ignited Pesci as a star, Lorraine Bracco scores the performance of her life as the love of Hill's life, and every supporting role, from Paul Sorvino to Robert De Niro, is a miracle.
