Re: HTF BLU-RAY REVIEW: Enchanted
Thanks Mike.
I figured it was done intentionally since when the live action started it displayed normally, but it's nice to see it confirmed.

Re: HTF BLU-RAY REVIEW: Enchanted
I got to watch this on blu-ray last night and what a treat. I was laughing so hard at the "sound of music" shot that I was nearly crying! There is even a King Kong reference.
The one bummer is that my BD-P1000 doesn't have the horse power to be able to do the D-files. If you click the button on the correct answer, by the time the player reacts its too late. Unfortunately I'll have to limp along with my snail of a player until someone puts out a 2.0 standalone.

That explains it! I was wondering why my BD-10 was lagging on the D-files segment. I never thought of that. D'oh! It also made it difficult to select some of the answers...almost like it would just skip over certain ones (unfortunately the "right" answers at times!).
There's Jessie the yodeling cowgirl. Bullseye, he's Woody's horse. Pete the old prospector. And, Woody, the man himself. Of course, it's time for Woody's RoundUp. He's the very best! He's the rootinest, tootinest cowboy in the wild, wild west!

Re: HTF BLU-RAY REVIEW: Enchanted
This is quickly becomming one of my top favorites, I just watched it for the 3rd time, in the last five days. Amy should have been given an Oscar!
I have yet to check this D-files thing.

Re: HTF BLU-RAY REVIEW: Enchanted
Ron: Don't you want to compare her talent to that of Julie Andrews?! She was THAT good in this film. And when you watch the outtakes/bloopers and see her come out of character...it is amazing to think what it took for her to keep that persona so constant through all the shooting.

Re: HTF BLU-RAY REVIEW: Enchanted
Yeah, Amy Adams is terrific in the role (as she was in her Oscar-nominated performance in Junebug a few years back).
My wife teased me mercilessly twice, once for simply renting Enchanted in the first place and then again because I liked it so much!

Mike, from what I've seen so far from Amy I may just have to say she's better then Julie because yes, she's that good. I tried accessing the D-files on my BD-P1000 and it's too slow so it'll have to wait until I fire up the theater and use the PS3.
What I am really looking forward to is seeing her in "Night at the Museum 2: Escape from the Smithsonian". I just hope she gets a lot of screen time.

Re: HTF BLU-RAY REVIEW: Enchanted
This one looks to be pushing me over the edge to buying a PS3, but if I do that I'll either have to buy a new receiver or jobber a switcher into my more-and-more-archaic-all-the-time system.

Re: HTF BLU-RAY REVIEW: Enchanted
Thanks for the review Kevin. This is one of my favorite discs. Excellent quality picture and sound (I would have given this a 5 picture and especially a 5 for sound). It's good to have the Disney magic back. I am going on my 4th viewing. I think Alan Menkin and Steven Schwartz are brilliant songwriters and the production values for this movie are excellent. I won't, though, go as far as saying that Amy is a better actress than Julie Andrews. Amy is brilliant in this role but there will never be another Julie.
What a shame that "So Close" lost the Academy Award for best song. It's also a shame that the Academy can't see fit to nominate excellent films like this for more important Oscars.

And if you look back, Robert...neither did I. All I said to Ron was that you can make a comparison between the two. Which is, in itself, a huge tip of the hat to Amy Adams. For anyone to even come close to Julie Andrews is quite an accomplishment.
I hope Adams does more movie musicals.
I agree about your high marks for the SQ.

Considering that the Academy Awards are a complete joke, it's not surprising. Politics win out over talent, it's such a shame.

Nice. I'm 5 viewings down in less then two weeks, going to watch it again this weekend as well. Such a fantastic film, easily my top favorite for a live action Disney film. Bought the soundtrack as well. |
