A few years ago, Steven Soderbergh posted his thoughts on the movie. I rather agree. http://extension765.com/sdr/2-most-irrelevant-no-1

There's always Disneyland. It's still a great ride out West.

Thanks for the review, Mr. Harris. -R

Saw a 70mm blow up of Hoffa on its release in late 1992. As is the case with 70mm blow ups, fantastic audio. Another cool thing (back then) was that the previews were also 70mm blow ups as well. And guess what also had fantastic sound? The preview for Body of Evidence. So that's my lasting...

Well that's too bad. I've always wanted to see how good this movie could look if done right. The wait continues. -R

Dirty Dancing was set in the Catskills, but filmed at a small resort called Mountain Lake just outside of Blacksburg, Virginia. Never stayed there, but I did have brunch there once. A few pictures documenting the filming hang in the lobby. -Reagan

Ernest Rister would be rolling over in his grave if he read this. If he was actually in a grave, which he is not. But he does post over at some blu ray forum type place. Can't remember the name. -R

The most disturbing thing about this review is that RAH is sounding a lot like my 11 year old son. -R

Three years after buying my first blu-ray player, I'm buying more discs than ever, and am usually completely satisfied with the product. -R

Ordered my copy from Amazon last week. Arrived on Saturday. Was relieved to see that it is the corrected version. So that's all well and good. On the downside, it just hit me that I spent $30 to fix two lines of dialogue. -R

Re: Movies that Deserve Blu-ray Treatment... Everything but Alien Space Avenger (1989). bit of a joke there -R
