5.0 out of 5 stars Worthy Upgrade From DVD to Blu-Ray, April 24, 2011

This review is from: Big Business [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)

This blu-ray looks much better than the dvd for the exception of the first few minutes in the scene where the mothers are delivering their children. After that you clearly see the rich video and the difference between this blu-ray and the regular dvd.

This movie is so happy, uplifting and entertaining from begining to end that I've bought it yet again; first vhs many years ago, then dvd, now blu-ray. Buying blu-ray will make you feel that you're watching the movie for the 1st time again and a very big difference from dvd. The title menu is also cool with the black and white screen split in 4 and background music.

I gave it 5 stars because I don't consider that 2 or 3 minutes in the begining of the movie of some graininess is enough to take a star away from this great movie and wonderful video quality after those few minutes. Also other reviewers have removed more than one star just because of those 2 or 3 minutes. Maybe they didn't keep watching after that?

There are many wonderful old movies that I would love to see come out in blu-ray even if the quality is not perfect but is at least widescreen and better than dvd.

This review is from: Big Business [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)

Some stores are already selling these locally. I picked one up yesterday, and the transfer is wonderful. Even though it is not posted on Amazon as of this writing, rest assured it is in 1.78:1 - 16x9 widescreen enhanced ratio. Great transfer, but absolutely no extras, not even a trailer.

3.0 out of 5 stars Goofy and sweet, September 18, 2011

This review is from: Big Business [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)

For me, this is Bette Midler's funniest movie - Lily Tomlin, maybe her third funniest. Their facial expressions and body language are a perfect complement to the goofy dialogue, i.e. "Is this how we dress for the office? You look like a blood clot!" "Eat the g-damn muffin and try to show some poise." It's a fun movie to watch and a nice alternative to today's "event" movies. Laugh and lighten-up!
