![Shakespeare in Love [Blu-ray]](/image/noimage/true/width/50/height/50/flags/ZC)
I'll begin my comments on John Madden's brilliant Shakespeare in Love with a negative.
At a time when both individuals and companies are attempting to cut back on waste, especially when it pertains to our environment, why must Lionsgate buck the trend of going with plastic security strips beneath the shrink wrap to fully secure their discs?
Please don't take this comment the wrong way. Shakespeare in Love is absolutely worth stealing on Blu-ray, as is Cold Mountain, but all of these extra bits of plastic and adhesive just seem wrong.
That point made, I was thrilled to be able to pop Shakespeare in Love, yet another Academy Award winning Best Picture arriving on Blu-ray into a player.
And even more thrilled to see that it looked really nice. Great color, blacks, shadow detail. Everything is correct here. And at under $8, a steal -- without the necessity of actually doing it.
A terrific piece of filmmaking and entertainment. Why can't all great Blu-rays be $7.99?
Highly Recommended.
