Any reviews on Heavenly Creatures & Swingers:SE yet? (1 Viewer)

[Marc Colella]

I've got to order Heavenly Creatures and Swingers: SE from the U.S. (thanks to the 2 week delay in Canada).

Before I place my order, I'd like to hear some opinions on the transfer of both these releases.

Any sites have a review yet? Anyone on this forum have them and care to share their opinions?

Heavenly Creatures offers a very nice transfer that I was largely pleased by. Some minor flaws occur on occasion (slight edge enhancement at a couple of moments, a speck or two on the print used), but nothing that I thought was distracting.

The cut included on the DVD is a 109 minute version, which apparently adds about 10 minutes.

Haven't seen "Swingers": SE yet, but planning on a review of that next week.

Thanks for the review Aaron.
If anyone else is still unsure, a review does exist on Currentfilm.com... I hope noone minds me posting the link here.

Swingers: SE from the U.S. (thanks to the 2 week delay in Canada).

Are you kidding me? What a load of S**T!!!
Wait a sec, Futureshop.ca still lists it as the 24th.

Richard,

Futureshop isn't always up to date with release date changes.

CNL.com has the release day listed as October 8th - and like other Miramx titles being delayed here (Pulp Fiction/Jackie Brown) - it would make sense.

I haven't seen the old version, so I can't compare it, but I have no complaints about the transfer.
But the packaging is misleading...it reads:

The cutting room floor scenes don't exist.
It just footage of I think 5 scenes in the movie from the "dailys" just sort of alternate looks at the scene, the video game scene, for example, doesn't have the inserts of the game footage but its pretty much the same.
And I don't think the outtakes reel exists either.
The documentaries are 16x9 enhanced.
