Author Topic: Universal classic BR releases Joe Tommassello Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 547 From: Coatesville, PA, USA Registered: Jan 2008 posted 06-11-2010 11:14 AM                  After the critical bashing of the image on the HD-DVD of "Spartacus" you'd think Uni would have made sure the blu version was gorgeous. Apparently that is not the case. Universal should take more care. I am interested in the upcoming "Psycho" blu-ray and eventually the other Hitchcock films as well as assorted classics from their catalog. Of course their signature classic monster series is high up on my want list. I will not, howver, pre-order Universal discs until I see at least one review and preferably two or three so I have some idea of the quality of the transfer. On the other hand when I see a classic or catalog title from Warner Brothers I order it without hesitation. I just watched "Kelly's Heroes" last weekend and for a film of it's age without any "restoration" it looked and sounded wonderful. I am looking forward to "Where Eagles Dare" (first time seeing it) this weekend. Add Fox/MGM to the list. Waiting to hear before I buy "Escape From New York".  |  IP: Logged
