I love Awakenings (but not that cover art).

I'm in for Awakenings. One of Robin Williams' best films.

LOVE me some Against All Odds..hope it's a good transfer because it is a great looking film. I'll jump on this when the price is right.

Random Hearts was right about when I stopped saying things like 'it's Harrison Ford, how bad could it be'.

Six Days Seven Nights didn't give you pause a year earlier?

As for Awakenings' cover art, it makes it look like a buddy comedy.

Lol. That's exactly what I was thinking at first glance. Kinda like a " The Bucket List" type of cover.

Against All Odds for me. Guilty pleasure!

Re: Awakenings

It's pretty clear that Sony does not employ actual graphic designers on-staff. For over a decade now, they've had these silly photoshops that any 10-year-old could improve upon in minutes.

I don't get it. They're paying someone to put these together. Why not at least hire a pro who isn't going to just slap floating heads on top of the theatrical poster?

Agree with that.A reviewer (Was it Maltin?) who said it was an interesting misfire.Absolutely agree with that.Also like the performance of Woods here.It's a gem of a role,one which he has repeated ad nauseum,but here it's spot on.

Also one of my guilty pleasures is Devils advocate with Pacino.I know it's bad and cliched,but it contains a breathtaking scene which I never gets tired of.

There's no guilt involved in enjoying that Ferrari/Porsche chase sequence! I haven't seen the movie for decades, but I remember that car chase being worth the price of admission.

Against All Odds Blu-ray Review

JoelGoodsen · 08-05-2023, 03:49 PM

Against All Odds 4K would be very nice indeed. Love that flick.

Have never seen Against All Odds (

). Have the US Blu-ray but haven't watched it yet (been meaning to). Phil Collins's title song is probably my favourite of his (his songs in the film Buster come pretty close). By the way, is there any chance of a US boutique label licensing Buster from it's rightsholder(s) so a proper Blu-ray release of it can be done? Apparently (based on the comments I read in the UK & Ireland thread), the UK release by 4 Digital Media didn't get many positive comments, and I was quite surprised that when Powerhouse Films/Indicator had a deal with Sony, that Against All Odds didn't get released by them.

I was going to say the same thing when I saw this thread bumped.

The Blu-Ray looks nice but Against All Odds is definitely a film that needs a 4K release.

Jeff Bridges never looked more handsome, and he and Rachel Ward had amazing chemistry. James Woods gives another strong performance.

Maybe we'll get one for the film's 40th (!) anniversary next year.

After Risky Business not getting a 40th anniversary 4K (I’m still bitter about it), I won’t be holding my breath. But it would be great if they did.
