Summary: 5 Stars
What can I say..... This Movie is great and even better on Blu-RayMovie Review: Good Fellas - Blu Ray
Summary: 4 Stars
I wont bother reviewing the movie itself. It has to stand as one of the 100 best films of all time (at least in my list). As far as Blu Ray goes, this is much improved over my original "flipper" 2-sided DVD version. Some reviewers have mentioned the grain in some parts of the film. That's just the stock they made the transfer from. There is another part where there is a vertical line in the scene through De Niro that is part of the negative. But when the film is sharp, the transfer is perfect. I think this is especially obvious at the very beginning of the movie when there is tight close-up of a young Henry Hill looking out the window of his apartment and you can see the details of what looks like a green contact lens (to match Liotta I suppose).
I was disappointed by the audio. It seemes a bit muddy. I need to go back to my "flipper" version to see if it was any better. This may be a case of trying to make Dolby 5.1 out of an old soundtrack.
Overall, Certainly worth the price. Worth replacing an older version (not sure if this applies to the newer "collecters edition" or not.
By the way, one fun part of watching this movie is picking out all the Soprano's characters that were in this film. Christoper, Pauli, "Old" Carmine (Tony Lipp plays "Tony the Wop" or something like that), I think even "Big Pussy", Vincent Pastore has a walk on bit. For "The Wire" fans, I noticed that Isiah Whitlock Jr (the "honorable" Sen Clay Davis) had a bit part playing a Dr when Henry is picking his wheelchair bound brother up from the hospital near the end of the film.
Movie Review: Goodfellas (Blu-Ray review)
Summary: 4 Stars
Everyone knows this movie is a classic. Absolutely true. What i want to get into is the Blu-Ray transfer. To sum it up in one word: grainy. It's obvious that the transfer was straight from the original film negative. You see all the lines and pops that would have been present on screen when the movie originally came out in theaters. I'm positive there will eventually be a remastered version coming out but who knows when that will happen. It definitely needs a good digital clean up. Audio quality is also lacking. It is just standard Dolby 5.1. They could've at least made it PCM. Really, if you get this at a good price, there is no reason NOT to buy it. The picture isn't bad. It's just not up to par with other Blu's out there. Still a great addition to add to the collection.Movie Review: The Ultimate Mob Movie!!
Summary: 4 Stars
This is one of my favorite mob movies of all-time. The acting is great, as well as the direction. Martin Scorsece is a genius! As for the blu-ray release of this movie, I find that the picture and sound have greatly improved from the DVD version. It's also nice to not have to flip the disc over to finish watching the movie. I would definitely recommend this release to any new or old fans of the movie. Enjoy!
