Raiponce (Tangled). Loved it !!! That was an awesome movie, and a fantastic Blu-ray ! I have missed this movie in theaters, and I am in a hurry to watch the 3D disc !
 
The Horror BD Thread reminded me to watch Se7en (digibook) last night... The transfer is STUNNING, especially compared with the Platinum Series DVD from 2000 or so.

JP-you are right on-Seven was a real treat. It's one of my favorite Psychological thrillers and I was so glad they treated the film well!

I noticed a really great little nuance to the ending of the film, watching it this time (first time seeing it on BD... been one of my fav's since it came out on vhs). It's painfully obvious, I'm a little embarrassed I didn't notice it before...

At the end, when Mills, Sommerset and John Doe are all in the field and the Box has arrived, Sommerset begins to run back to the other two.... every shot of Sommerset and Mills is 'shaky cam'. Every shot of John Doe is dead still.

It really emphasizes how the two detectives are lost and disoriented, while John Doe has everything well in hand, and in control. The performances add to this, with Sommerset clearly confused, unable to handle the situation... Mills going crazy as he realizes what was in The Box, screaming and threatening John Doe... all while John Doe is on his knees, not moving an inch, watching everything unfold just as he planned, with an incredibly sinister look on his face.

Anyway... don't want to derail the thread. I just love movies that are deep enough that you can find new layers with repeated viewings. I think the clarity of the BD format really helps you get into the movie, more then ever before.

And I just watched The Shining on BD last night. Another horror-thriller with way too many nuances to list. :)
 
Hi JP-great observations-I'll need to tune into that when I rewatch it. I agree, that there are some great "plants" by the writers and directors, that are fantastic when picked up-little extra "treats", for me, too. I'll need to get out my Shining flick-I've not seen so long, it's time to get into the "Red Room";)
 
We watched "I Love You Philip Morris". Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor do a great job in this flick. Sweet, sad and funny comedy-refreshing departure in roles for both actors. 4/5 for me.
 
Bought Bambi & Bambi 2 BDs in a "buy one get one free" offer at Carrefour yesterday.

Will have to take them back tomorrow - I forgot that I've already got Bambi - Duh!

Does that ever happen to anyone else, or is it just me?:emb:

I have the icollect movies app on my phone, so my collection is always with me wherever I go, so I don't mistakenly buy the same blu twice.

Thanks Horhay and DigitalBabe... Glad to have a place to share thoughts on movies. :)

True Romance... just got that in the mail the other day from dvd2blu, along with 8 others. Can't wait to watch it again.

I watched Near Dark with the wife last night. $6 at Walmart!
