The Story Of India
Superb BD with a cracking picture & quality stereo sound. Do check out another BBC BD "Wild China" which is also excellent, also "South Pacific"...
I love these documentaries :eyebrows:
Just in from watching The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and I have to say I am impressed. I'm a big fan of the Steig Larsson trilogy and have read all the books and seen all the original films. I went in tonight wanting to dismiss a Hollywood remake, but I just couldn't - it's extremely well done and Lisbeth is portrayed exceptionally well by Rooney Mara. Top film and should appeal to all Salander fans out there, go see it ;)
The opening credits are great too, very dark with an interesting cover of Zeppelins Immigrant Song.
Good to know that, Tim. I too have all the books and the Swedish Blu-rays and I do think it would take a special performance to match that of Noomi Rapace.
Time to watch the film I wanted to about a week back, but couldn't as I put the wrong disc into the BD player :rfl: I just couldn't work it out I swear :eyebrows:
Gamer, quite liking this Gerard Butler, he has been in a few films I like :)
Big screen on :stalks:
See you all on the 31st :wave:
Gullivers World with Jack Black:lol: Anyone seen the trailer for the film Elysium with Matt Damon, apparently it's out in 2013?
cheers
Natalie;)
This film is excellent, please watch it before you comment on my choice :eyebrows:
Monsters Vs Aliens, watch it & laugh & be astounded by the video quality :stalks:
On the Philips upscaling TV :)
See you all in 2012 people, the very best to you all :thumbsup:
BBC 4 on just now - Motown at the BBC.
Watched it in Sony 4k digital projection at the Showcase last night. Overall very impressed, and the opening sequence, as you said, was superb (as was the cover of Immigrant Song).
Different parts of the story strayed from the book compared with the Swedish film, but no great harm was done to its flow. Rooney Mara was possibly too pretty for the part, but played it well. She wasn't really skanky enough, though, compared with Noomi Rapace who performed it perfectly. Also the violence was toned down and Bjurman was not sufficiently menacing.
However, the settings and supporting cast were excellent and it showed that Hollywood can do a good remake if they set their minds to it.
