Morlock 11 Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 I also get the sense that it's a Marian kind of movie.And I personally couldn't have liked it more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent B 337 Posted February 14, 2008 Author Share Posted February 14, 2008 No movie purchases for me lately. All though I'm hoping starting this summer I can start switching over to Blu-Ray. I'm glad too to see this thread still going strong. Probably one of the best threads I started lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marian Schedenig 8,193 Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Wow, now there are Marian-type movies already... I'm intrigued! Heat and Goodfellas are much better, though.That applies to most movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picked up The Patriot Extended Cut, Memento, and Bullit. I'm thinking of adding some Kubrick to my blu. I always wanted to buy his HD movies but never got around to them. Now I can get 2001, A Clockwork Orange, and The Shining for $38.Expecting Michael Clayton and American Gangster 3-Disc Director's Cut to arrive this Tuesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robthehand 3 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I still don't think the film is great in the DC, but I was just blown away by how much better it was than the theatrical cut. I didn't like the TC at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixie_twinkle 48 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Bladerunner The Final Cut.Wow, it looks pristine! It could have been made yesterday. Except that it looks better, because if it had been made yesterday it would be full of CGI and none of the flying cars, blimps, or buildings would look anything like as real as they do with the models.

Morlock 11 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 No, it is not great. But it is so much better than the TC. Probably the most improved DC I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 That's why I'm wondering if the DC is really that great as people say.Is it truly a great film?Or is it merely a huge improvement over the previous version?Oh well. I'll just enjoy this version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock 11 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 It is not a great film. But speaking as one who was dissapointed with the TC, the DC delivered on everything I hoped the original cut would, and than some. It has it's problems, but the characters are far stronger and more understandable this time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 It will be interesting to see how it holds up without knowledge of the previous version then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tpigeon 3 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Maybe it was my misunderstanding. As for "Kingdom of Heaven," the director's cut is much better than the theatrical cut.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Ridley Scott is the only director that truly makes a Director's Cut of a film. All of his are spectacular.

A24 4,335 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Blade Runner is an extraordinary movie. The new cleaned up cut is stunning. TedThe longevity of this film is simply incredible. You did watch it in theater, right? Cool, that's the way one should see this movie (same goes for that other visual extravaganza, 2001: ASO)! Alex - who finds most movies from that period (1982) dated like an old funfair ride (especially those with a Spielberg or Lucas touch).Is it truly a great film?A great film? Then that would've already been visible somewhere in the theatrical version.NOT!!!!Alex 2 - who never watched the DC of KOH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahler3 478 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 The new long overdue Tootsie Special Edition DVD is superb - worth a look. I love this movie and it has aged quite well. Wonderful snappy dialogue that reminds me of Aaron Sorkin in some ways.Producer to Cameraman re Dorothy = "How far can you pull back to make her look attractive?"Cameraman to Producer = "How do you feel about Cleveland?"Bill Murray has some great lines too!Morlock, if you haven't already got them - 2 great companion pieces to All the Presidents Men Special Edition are the 2 disc special editions of Network & Dog Day Afternoon, 70's cinema (& Lumet) at its best and showcases the power of media in all 3.

Maglorfin 196 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Bought Ronin a week or so ago. A terrific action movie for my taste and De Niro is quite as good as it gets.

Trent B 337 Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share Posted March 11, 2008 I bought a few movies while I was out of town.The extended cut for the first Fantastic 4 film which I think is better than the theatrical release. It even has a full Main Title that was cut severely down in the theatrical version.I also bought Fantastic 4: Rise Of The Silver Surfer and Transformers.I know a good number of you don't like any of these movies but I do.That's all the movies I plan on buying the rest of this year because next year I'll be switching over to Blu-Ray. I told my parents that since I know they won't switch to Blu-Ray, whatever titles I've got on regular DVD when I get them on Blu-Ray I'll be giving those ones to my parents. So at least someone will be able to enjoy them. Hopefully TV series like 24, Jericho and such will eventually get a Blu-Ray release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
