Movie Reviews of The Last Waltz [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: I expected better sound
Summary: 3 Stars
This is one of my all time favorite concert movies. It definitely has that Martin Scorcese style that has become so well known and the talent assembled is staggering. I heard the bluray had completely remastered sound, re-engineered by the surviving band members so I jumped at the chance to test out my new theater system with a classic. I was pretty disappointed to say the least. I know much of it is live and over 30 years old now but it seemed like all the remaster did was turn up the loudness. I'm what many consider an audiophile. That's a person who is obsessed with high-quality audio reproduction. This is usually achieved through high end hardware. My theater system is a Rotel processor, Sherbourn 5 channel amp, Jamo Concerto series surround, and a Bay Audio sub. All mid to high end gear. I got the Sherbourn amp recently and was looking to hear amazing things out of this blu ray and I was disappointed. It's only slightly better than the DVD. I have been selectively adding to my BR collection only movies that have visual and audio qualities that would benefit from the increased resolution and uncompressed audio technology. Movies like Sin City, Kill Bill, Apocalypto, Snow Falling On Cedars and The Dark Knight are great because they are visually and audibly dramatic and their filmed qualities are sufficient to translate well into digital format. Movies that don't translate well: most comedies (what's the point in spending the extra $10 on a clearer copy of Blazing Saddles?), old TV series (stuck in 4:3), films that are not remastered. I think that this movie fits into that category of movies that are just as good on DVD unfortunately.Movie Review: Where's tura Lura ?
Summary: 3 Stars
With all the wasted footage on his highness (snicker) Mr.Robertswhatever, and the likes of Kneel Diedman for cryin' out loud, why couldn't Mr Scorch-cheesy fit in the Richard Manuel/Van morrison duet on Tura-Lura? What a freakin' faux pas!! Does anyone know where footage of that little gem can be found?Movie Review: Blue Ray? HD?
Summary: 2 Stars
I already have a dvd in my collection for this excellent concert.
I purchased the blue-ray version expecting superior quality in picture and sound.
No deal. Simply take a look of the interview of Robbie Robertson by Scorsese and
you'll find there's no difference with the regular version of dvd.
Why bother, I mean the folks who put this blue-ray together?
