Blu-ray for the old stuff
Yep .. I’m a Blu-ray fan. If you’ve got a HD flat panel and you haven’t sprung for a player .. you’re missing out. The colours are natural, the sounds clean and clear, the full 1080 picture crisp. Regular DVDs upscale ok, but I still need my HD fix. Who’s Blu-ray for? Everyone! not just the action & effects crew. Scenic movies retain their cinematic quality (Australia, Assassination of Jesse James, Flags of Our Fathers, Iwo Jima ..), dramas play out beautifully .. but it’s the old stuff I like. Bullitt, The Getaway, 2001 A Space Odyssey, The Deer Hunter, even the old Superman 1&2. These movies are specifically remastered for Blu-ray release and the results are superb. The colours are true, the image fantastic. The special features also kick in with plenty of background info on these old classics. Old school. Get into it.
