4.0 out of 5 stars Blu Ray Picture Quality = Great, Oct 6 2012
This review is from: Indian Summer [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
I remember watching this movie when it came out and liked it. I bought this blu ray on another website to meet their quota savings. I couldn't find adequate information on the picture quality but I took a chance as the price was cheap.

I was pleasantantly surprised at the picture quality as it's near amazing for such and "older" movie :) Some movies aren't worth getting the Blu Ray version... this is one is.

4.0 out of 5 stars The show is great the Picture Quality isn't so much, Dec 31 2011
I love Dallas, the show is great but the Picture Quality isn't so much.. especially if you've got at Plasma, LCD or LED television but the eye get's accustomed to the quality and it doesn't take long that the story makes you forget about it all.

I compared the Picture Quality with previous seasons and it's sad to say this one isn't as good but in reality though, there's no other option, if you like and want to watch Dallas.. this is it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Blu Ray Picture Quality = Great, April 12 2011
This review is from: Phone Booth [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
The Picture Quality of this Blu Ray is great. There are very few grainy scenes and as more as I got into the movie the more I forgot about them and actually can't remember which particular scene it was that had some.. I'm betting it's a phone booth scene lol.

I didn't have this movie on DVD and had not seen this movie in several years so it was an easy choice to make due to the price and picture quality search result of each Blu Ray I purchase. I liked the movie and I loved it's picture quality.

No Title Available

5.0 out of 5 stars Blu Ray Picture Quality = Great, April 12 2011
My review might be a little biased as I love this movie and could watch it day after day so I can sit and endure some grainy scenes without realizing it. There are some of those scenes, maybe 5% of the whole film, which is nothing to whine about.

My Lost in Translation DVD will have to find a new home as this Blu Ray outshines it. It's definitely worth getting in my opinion, if you like the movie.

3.0 out of 5 stars A fun and innocent film, Nov 19 2010
This review is from: Crime Busters [Import] (DVD)
I watched this '77 movie a long time ago as a kid. Bud Spencer and Terence Hill were no strangers to me as they were paired up in dozens of movies however this is the one I prefered the most.

Let aside the great theme song! this slapstick comedy takes place in Miami where the two meet at a harbour looking for work. They partner-up to heist a local grocey store which turns out to be a Police station where they enlist for Police training in order to make a few bucks. After plenty of laughs they have the green light to pursue a mission. Bud and Terence are no stranger to the slapstick arm swinging and slapping fights.

Entertaining little movie. God bless them.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Memories, a kid/family film, Nov 19 2010
I have nothing but great memories for this film, which I viewed when I was 9 years old.

Bud Spencer is a Sherrif who stumbles on a Kid, unknownst to him he's an Alien with a magical toy, whom the Military are after. Getting acquainted with the boy who claims he's an alien, the non-alien-believing Sherrif hands the kid to the Military authorities but soon regrets it. He uses the boy's magic toy to retrieve and save the boy, which includes his famous slapping fighting style.

The music, especially the theme song is superb! If you hear it once.. you'll be hooked lol.

Great old, family movie.

4.0 out of 5 stars Thoughtfully and very detailed, April 10 2003
You might say "How can he be rating this movie when he doesn't own the DVD? Well I have the movie on VHS and it's a great one.

Almost every old cowboy movie is slow paced, "My name is Nobody" isn't any different but it's thoughtfully and very detailed. The story is great and has a great ending. The movie is both funny and serious.. mostly serious.

Of course the soundtrack of this movie is, to my opinion still unmatched by Ennio Morricone.. very moving stuff which really ties into the old west era.

Enjoy the movie!
