Movie Review: visions of light
Summary: 5 Stars
the vhs came in great time and was in excellent condition. thanksMovie Review: Not what I expected but still good.
Summary: 4 Stars
Not what I really expected but it was informative. I would have like it a little better if they went into what they used in lighting the scenes and how they placed them but again it wasn't a total waste of money.Movie Review: Non-anamorphic!
Summary: 4 Stars
Here's a 2000 DVD of a film devoted to cinematography and they didn't bother to make it anamorphic. If you fill your 16x9 TV you'll get distortion on all the pre-widescreen excerpts, and if you show it without distortion the frame will fill about 2/3 of your available screen. I have DVDs earlier than this that were anamorphic, so it was known how to make this one so the WS excerpts filled your screen, and I take it it wouldn't be rocket science to do that w/o distorting (stretching) the non-WS portions. And I'm not crazy either about the quality of the transfer in terms of resolution and the like. Nonetheless, it's a must-see.Movie Review: vapor DVD

I never received it so it's hard to review beyond the suggestion that you try ordering it somewhere elseMovie Review: Hidden in the Light
Summary: 4 Stars
This documentary provides a very interesting look inside the work of cinematographers. This function however essential in the art of filmmaking is not one that makes it to the frontpages of films magazines and theaudiences do not really realise what the work of these men and women is in a film.
This film aims at presenting their work, especially the extent of their it, through close ups on particular films/persons.
I had to see it for an Intro to Film studies class and I think it is a really good work, nevertheless it only gets 4 stars because it somehow lacks a bit of a sense of purpose. However, it is never boring, but just leaves you with a slight desire for something more.
I would recommend it to any student in Film studies as well as to anyone interested in cinema for it is an agreeable film to watch and a very instructive one.
