Body Heat anyone?

[SquidPuppet]

My copy is on the way from Amazon.

Has anyone viewed yet?

PQ/AQ ?

Thanks!

PQ/AQ is mediocre, but not bad. The film is quite soft.

Yeah I nabbed mine at best Buy they are running a sale in store and .com for 14.99!

It does look better than the prev Deluxe Ed DVD. The GRAIN is still there! It does look like most noise is gone which is a good thing .... but yeah the picture most of the time is soft but that is how it was shot... but it looks as good as I think it could ever get.

for 14.99! it is a steal ..... Great dialog.

I hope we see more good catalog titles like Body Heat from WB in 2009 I want AFTER HOURS badly!

Oooooh, my blood's getting hot. Jessica Rabbit's in that picture, right?

Thank you for the responses.

I remember it being soft looking. I am OK with that. Just hoping it didnt get the smear job or halos. Grain is good.

I think you will be as thrilled with the BLU ray as I am. I never thought I would see it released this early on. :-)

DVDBeaver Review:

I see the most noticeable advancement in colors - especially skin tones. The comparison captures of Mickey Rourke are probably the most telling... but it does excel in every other category as well - more detailed, more information in the frame (top), marginally brighter and shows more film grain/less noise etc. . In toggling back and forth on my system from the Deluxe SD-DVD to the Blu-ray I could see significant improvement in those features. The film was shot with a softer focus than most - possibly relating it to the shadowy noirs of the past that it channels. Hence, detail is never excessively sharp. The Blu-ray looks so much more like film though and I'll wager much more accurate to its original theatrical intent.

In the audio front we get a new TrueHD track that I wouldn't call overly buoyant. The center channel (dialogue) will get the lion's share of work but occasional whistling wind and other subtle details make their way to the rears creating a typically noir-esque aura. John Barry's competent original score for Body Heat accentuates the mood and seems an absolute perfect fit for the plot and characters. We also get a 5.1 track (no simple stereo!) and three 2.0 channel DUBs. As expected there are optional subtitles - even in German which support the transfer's region FREE status.

Fantastic to hear. Yes, when it was announced I was shocked as well...it seemed so so early considering all the titles WB has burried. A pleasant surprise for sure. Now I am even more eager for the postman.
