Great pair!,

This review is from: Coming to America & Trading Places [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
I ordered this set thinking I'd seen both movies before but after watching, somehow I missed seeing the whole of Trading Places. After watching it, I realized I had missed something - a great movie. After watching some of the extras, I realized too that for the leads (Aykroyd, Murphy, and Curtis) it was one of each of their first big roles and a gamble for the director and producer. Now, I couldn't see anyone else doing justice to these characters and script. It's a great movie with a message and some excellent comedic parts.Coming to America is a great comedy as well and has Eddie Murphy at his best, a perfectly cast James Earl Jones as his father and a great Arsenio Hall as his sidekick/protector/straight man. Until seeing this movie, I didn't know how good an actor Arsenio Hall is and sadly he's mainly known for a talk show that flopped and not much else; I wonder what happened to him. Nevertheless, another good story with a lot of comedy, some drama and suspense, and a happy ending. My only gripe is both movies' blu-ray cases were broken when I received them. The 2 movies were packaged together and the shipping cardboard along with the other items in the shipment weren't damaged so I can only conclude that the damage happened before shipping. Someone slipped up and sent damaged goods out - when I took the shrink wrap off 1 movie, I received a small shower of blue plastic fragments from the damaged blu-ray case. So far the discs work ok so they weren't damaged but it'll be a little harder to store them. Overall these movies are a great pair - and I don't mean Jamie Lee Curtis'! (Watch Trading Places - you'll see what I mean.)

Great Deal! (Amazon's Technical Spec's Incorrect - As of 1-24-09),
By Eric Kintzel - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Coming to America & Trading Places [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
This is a fantastic deal on these two Bluray discs. You'll save a bundle (currently about $15 as of 1-24-09) compared to buying them individually.I'm not going to review the movies themselves; however, I will tell you that as of today (1-24-09), Amazon's technical details for this two-pack are incorrect. The aspect ratio is incorrectly listed as 1.33:1. Those of us geeky enough to care about aspect ratios know that Blu-ray does not release 1.33:1 (or "pan-and-scan") movies, unless this was their original release format. Luckily both of these movies are presented in 1.85:1 aspect ratio. This is truly a double-pack of each individual Blu-ray movie. If you're interested in the extras or the visual aspects of the Blu-ray editions, go ahead and check out the individual reviews for each disc. I just wanted to clarify what this double-pack is...as Amazon's poor description led me to purchase it only when I found it at a local brick & mortar (to double check it). 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful

Best A/V quality for these 2 Eddie Murphy flix,

I was really surprised by the superb video quality of these 2 movies on bluray. Clarity and colors get a huge boost compared to the old DVDs. Granted it will never equal the glossy transfers of newer films on bluray but taking into account these films were from the 80s, these are the best they will ever get to look for quite some time to come. And the nude scene of Jamie Lee Curtis in her prime in total HD glory---worth every cent I paid.;)

Sew His Royal Oats!!!,

What a perfect combo Blu. I would have to say that time has not been kind to these films but the transfer is overall god. The picture quality is so good in fact that when you see Zamunda for the first time you will notice that everyone is a fake painting in front of a fake painted wall. I guess that is the price we pay for advanced technology placated on older films that were at the height of their quality when made. As for Trading Places, I love that movie and it is a true classic that can be enjoyed no matter how perfect or not perfect the transfer is.
