I watched Crank over the weekend - the disc is indeed superb quality, but the film is tripe. At 90-odd minutes it's about 90-odd minutes too long.
Agreed.
Watched The Prestige over the past weekend and thought it was superb. Bale's accent seemed a bit off at first but you kinda get used to it. Nolan can do no wrong imho.
Just got Casino Royale, a 10/10 for sure (and you know that "perfect" isn't a term that I'd ever abuse). Sometimes, but not always a "wow!" disc, but as perfect a copy of the film as you could hope for.
The product placement is absolutely hilarious, as well!
2 fantastic looking BDs in one day, this is more like it!!
The Devil's Rejects from LionsGate. Grainy, grainy, grainy 16mm film, in MPEG-2, and it looks excellent. If you look close you can occasionally see the grain structure break up into blocks but you need to be REALLY close.
It doesn't seem to have any obnoxious filtering either, meaning that some shots from this 16mm film are more detailed than a lot of filtered 35mm-to-1080p transfers I've seen.
