albert 4th Jun 2021		Blu-ray The Good, The Bad And The Ugly - Warner Bros. Home Entertainment (2020)	Review The film itself is a classic as everyone should already know. This review is for the technicalities of the Blu-ray presentation. Unfortunately it seems that someone made the decision to saturate the colour palate so now the action seems to take place on Mars, with orange-skinned men and Clint 'Blondie' now having much darker hair than before. I think possibly there may have been some tweaking on the soundtrack, much to the story's detriment eg no clinking of the spurs at the hotel shootout ....(maybe it was pushed over to some satellite speaker behind the viewer on a surround sound system which is useless when watching in mono). 2 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
albert 2nd Oct 2017		DVD Andy Warhol's Velvet Underground And Nico - Colcophoric Pictures Inc (2011)	Review The footage is rare, and for good reason - its terrible. What you get is a jam session/rehearsal but it appears that the cameraman has yet to learn the fundamentals of operating the camera and seems to have difficulty trying to get the thing fixed on a stand, and then he plays around with the zoom, continuously. The sound is barely audible on much of the soundtrack even though after about 50 minutes the cops arrive and cut the session after neighbours complain, the remaining footage is just people milling around the studio. Tagged on afterwards is the short film Andy Warhols's Exploding Plastic Inevitable, which has been sourced from a video-taped copy. Images flicker sporadically on the screen and are only briefly sequenced, but you can make out the faces from the factory scene. The purpose of these films was to contribute to the light show projected onto the live band, so they are really just an element of a multi-media art experience. Many images are repeated, and the whole 22 minutes may have been looped several times, generally its fairly boring to watch without a band playing on stage. 5 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
