This one must go into the "Wow" category, picked it up on my weekly visit to town and my favorite record story. for a second hand $15 dollar blu-ray ray included the picture quality transfer is simply stunning, Its right up there with one of the best transfers I have come across, the special effects look great plus an excellent DTS 5:1 sound track. I haven't seen Ghostbusters since the 80s possibly the 90s, its certainly been a long time. Projected using the Epson VP I am still waiting for the warmer weather to come around to run the 35mm print of Sleepless In Seattle as our home cinema runs on a 15 amp fuse, so running the 35mm and heating is pushing it fuse wise but will get back to "film" with Ernie and the platter soon
Coming soon on film
Last night "Blood Simple" by the Coen Brothers. I had the early DVD but it was too grainy and possibly badly encoded to watch projected. This "restored" Blu Ray was another matter, good colour and proper grain when expected. A complex murder plot. well told, with some moments of painful injury.
Two nights ago it was once again Jumanji Welcome to the Jungle, I have it also on 3D and it looks great. Karen Gillan looks stunning, she was a hit with the stunt people due to her enthusiasm doing her own stunts, and doing it really well, even Dwayne Johnson commented on her stunt work in the making of. Its a fun movie.
Last night it was the turn of the new Top Gun movie, this one really surprised me as to how good the movie is. Its certainly well made with heaps of action, highly recommend this one.
