| | Customer Reviews: "Warner Brothers Should Be proud" (24 July 2010)As many people who collect DVD's know the movie studios are constantly rereleasing films in different packaging as a way to make more money. Sometimes the studios are guilty for squandering money from consumers when they release a film yet again on DVD, only with a different cover art and if the purchaser is lucky you might get some extra new bonus material. However, with the rerelease of "LA Confidential" the studio gave the film a complete overhaul, not only in the DVD art, but the film itself has been completely restored to impeccable quality and there are a ton of new bonus features. Buying this new set is like watching the film all over again! "LA Confidential" deals with the underbelly of Hollywood in the 1950's where sex, greed, political scandal, and murder are examined by a bunch of Los Angeles police detectives headed by a then-unknown Russell Crowe in one of his first big-screen acting gigs. Guy Pearce (known for playing a drag queen in "Priscilla-Queen of the Dessert) and Kevin Spacey are Crowe's partners-in-crime. The film is stolen by the convincing performance by Kim Bassinger who plays a sexy Hollywood starlette who happens to be a call-girl. This role won Bassinger the Oscar for Outstanding Supporting Performance by an Actress. The movie also won the Oscar for Best Screeenplay. Upon release in 1997 the movie was a huge financial success raking in nearly $130,000,000. The DVD is filled to the brim with extras including new interviews, commentary, and more and comes with a bonus CD that features music from the film. What was all the hype about? (15 July 2010)Not sure why this film won 2 Oscars and was nominated for 7. I thought the acting was sub-par and the storyline was trite but to each their own, right? Clear image, good extras (03 July 2010)Movie aside (Amazon reviews does not criticism make), the quality of the print transferred is very good. Noticeably more clear and lending itself to Hanson's split-diopter effects for whole-screen compositions than the cable TV televised resolution of 720p. Nice to see that the extras were also photographed in native HD, and also play well from the transfer. Also nice to see that the bonus CD of period-appropriate tracks from the movie was also included in the Blu-Ray, and not just the Special Edition DVD. the movie L.A. confidentialI' (26 June 2010)I've seen this movie many times and I finally purchased it. Great pic with superb cast. Kim Bassinger is no Katherine Hepburn, but she is so beautiful and so hot. She makes the screen sizzle. I want her so badly. Wishful thinking. Great movie, average bluray (27 May 2010)This is a great movie, a million times better than Titanic (which won Best Picture that year). But the review is for the blu-ray - solid picture quality, but not as stunning as some others I've seen. Recommended for $10-12, but not more. |
