One of the greatest caper movies ever looks the best it ever has!
I really enjoy this movie, and was very happy to see it released by Universal on HD-DVD. This movie has a lot of big names in it, and they really deliver. It has great suspenseful moments, international intrigue, a believable plot, and a lot of humorous moments that are actually funny! There are plenty of other places to look if you are looking for a synopsis of the movie, including the standard DVD page, so I’ll leave it to them to tell you about the movie if you don’t already know it.My review here will be about the HD transfer itself. Overall, I was really impressed! It’s a definite jump from the standard DVD, even upconverted. I might even go so far as to say that some selected scenes look incredible. Most of the scenes in Sneakers are dialogue, and a lot of people in them, and I noticed that the clarity of people’s faces and eyes was great. The shots of the buildings, and the Scrabble tiles being rearranged I thought were great. For the most part though, the PQ is good, but certainly not demo material.There is definitely some grain noticable, but I was happy to find it wasn’t distracting. Even in some of the darker scenes where I expected some heavy grain, the grain was only noticable, not obtrusive. The sound is also excellent. I don’t know if it is better than the S-DVD, but I had no complaints with the 5.1 soundtrack. Sure I would have loved me some lossless audio, but I didn’t expect it and it isn’t really a big deal to me that it isn’t there.I have only 2 complaints about this disc. First, I wish Universal had cleaned it up a bit better. There were a fair amount of “flecks” floating through the picture throughout. Of course, once I stopped focusing on the picture and enjoyed my movie, I didn’t notice them except for a few brief moments, but they are definitely there. Is it hard to clean the master? I was a bit disappointed in that area, as most films in HD are extremely clean, with flecks only occasionally. These were fairly constant. My second complaint is extremely minor and more personal, but I wish there were some Spanish subtitles.Overall, I am very happy with this disc, and would definitely recommend the purchase to anyone who enjoyed the movie. It’s a definite improvement from the S-DVD. It’s certainly not a movie I’d pop in to show off my TV for friends, but then I never expected that. The only thing that I wish had been done differently would have been for a cleaner transfer, removing some of the larger and more noticable flecks.Bottom line? If you like this movie, this is a must have. It is an excellent step up from the standard DVD.

What an AMAZING spy caper! You like finger-nail biting action?
Sneakers (Collector’s Edition)Hello, Space Fans: I thought I’d clue you in to a little known secret [too many secrets] in the Spy movie genre. It’sa cute little story about a really mixed up group who’ve been called in to do a spy job for someone in the Govt. thatcan’t risk being caught. And they ARE MIXED UP! A blind sound man who is so good he can identify frequency tones by ear.{I toured a radio station once where they had a blind DJ. They had Braile tape marked the commercial cartridges so hecould identify them. He MUST HAVE been GOOD!}Anyway, (not to give too much away), they had to break-in, get past security, in a toy company office of all things;to try and find and retrieve a “black box”. Well they found it and got it. Then they find out WHAT THE CHIP IN THEBLACK BOX WILL DO!! And it becomes obvious why all of a sudden, the police want to kill them, the U.S. Govt. want’sto kill them, and several foreign Govt.s want to kill them too. You will know why too, when you BUY THIS DVD MOVIEand watch it. It’ll become so habit-forming, you’ll want to watch it over-and-over again, until you can figure outall the angles going on at the same time.Believe me when I say: I know Danny Aykroyd, from when he was filming in Chicago years ago and stayed in my building.And I’ve kept in touch with the acting community for years since I started as an extra in “The Blues Brothers” (alsoin Chicago). And I know for a fact that virtually EVERY ACTOR wants to work at least once with Robert Redford, who isabsolutely one of the most generous people I know in the acting community. But also, because I met River Phoenix yearsago when he and his sister Rain (Rainbow) were singing outside the entrance of UCLA to make money to help feed thefamily. That was when he was about 10 years old.Anyway, that’s it. I really think you’ll LOVE this film!!I THINK this book, the newest biography on River Phoenix is available here on Amazon.com also.NEW BOOK AVAILABLE: by author & friendBarry C. Lawrence, titled: “In Search Of RIVER PHOENIX:The Truth Behind The Myth” […] ISBN: 0967249198″Lonesome George” Andrews

警備システムの不備を証明するハイテクプロ集団が、国家安全保障局からの要請で天才数学者が作り出した暗号解読機を盗む話。緊張感のあるストーリー展開で、なんと言ってもロバートレッドフォードがカッコいい。シドニーポワチエ、ダン・エイクロイド、リバーフェニックスの熱演も見どころ。最後の微笑ましいシーンも好きです。
