2.0 out of 5 stars Very Poor Quality Picture, April 3, 2011

By

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: South of Reno (DVD)

The service of Artiflix is good, but the quality of this DVD copy was very bad. It looks much like watching a 3-D program with no 3-D glasses. I couldn't watch very long. It hurt my eyes.

When I asked about picture quality before I purchased, I was told by Artiflix that they use the "original source" for their copies. This was NOT from any original source unless that source was a bad VHS copy.

Nice people, good service, not good viewing. Waste of money.

3.0 out of 5 stars A FAMILIAR ROAD BUT WORTH ANOTHER TRIP, September 1, 2000

By 

Parisonn of Atlantis (Minneapolis, Minnesota) - See all my reviews

This review is from: South of Reno [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Jeff Osterhage plays one of those small-town characters who constantly talks about pulling up stakes, moving to the city, and doing something with his life. It soon becomes obvious that he'll never do so, at which point this story has two choices. Either it can have its hero accept and find value in his situation -- there's no place like home, after all -- or it can do what "South of Reno" does -- lament its hero's lack of ability to escape from his trap.

Though this is familiar territory, "Reno" handles it well and Jeff Osterhage's fine performance gives the story all the resonance it needs. He even has a chance to show off his bare chest which, along with Sam Elliott's and Tom Selleck's, has to one of the hairiest chests in the modern American cinema. (When these three guys played brothers in "The Sacketts," did they discuss chest-combing techniques?)

Watch for Billy Bob Thornton in a small part.
