Do The Right Thing (4K UHD + Blu-ray) [UHD] [Standard] [4K Ultra HD Blu-ray]

Great flick at a good price, couldn’t recommend more

Classic 80’s cinema with a very nice 4K transfer. The summer of 89’ was one for the books.

From Blu-Ray.com: The picture quality is terrific. The 2160p resolution brings about a drastic improvement over the studio's older Blu-ray. Here, the picture is perfectly filmic and holds to a steady, natural grain structure which is organic in density and brings a seriously pleasing cinematic feel to the proceedings. The picture's newfound textural richness brings Lee's Brooklyn to life with unflappable screen command. The absolute improvements to sharpness and clarity next to the aged Blu-ray are stunning, to say the least, and A-B comparisons of every scene reveal a monumental improvement. But even after just perusing the Blu-ray for a few minutes and turning over to watch the UHD renders any further comparison unnecessary. The UHD trounces it, plainly, in every way. This is a fine example of just how far UHD can elevate a picture. Street exteriors are a major source of fine texturing improvements for details on pavement, brick facades, and storefronts. Inside the pizzeria, there's no questioning the UHD's ability to reveal countertops, ovens, booths, and the pictures on the wall, which are collectively a vital plot device, with definition far beyond the Blu-ray's reach. Skin details are obviously a highlight, too, in intimate shots. It's a spectacular image and far and away superior to the Blu-ray. Lee and Cinematographer Ernest Dickerson shoot the film hot to help convey the very literal, and the very figurative, temperature in the movie. The film's contrast and color temperature are deliberately pushed hard and the HDR color grading only reinforces the dominance of warm yellows, hot oranges, and intense reds. Interiors are often exceedingly warm yet far more naturally so compared to the Blu-ray, which is comparatively lifeless. Tones across the board reflect the vital structural grading and HDR surely only amplifies the effect, though without fundamentally altering the movie's feel of any given tone's essential presentation. But there are major adds to color depth and brilliance. Blue skies, red brick walks, and all variety of flesh tones enjoy critical color adjustments that bring more life, authenticity, and visual reinforcement to the story. Black levels are terrific and even whites are excellent, though often rendered less than intense by effect in order to accentuate the larger color scheme; Mookie's white Jackie Robinson jersey is a great example. Universal's UHD is also free of any signs of print deterioration. There are no speckles or pops or stray lines or fibers. Compression is flawless, too, and there are absolutely no encode flubs to be found. This is UHD approaching its peak and fans of this film, and the cinematic medium in general, will be ecstatic with this presentation. It's sublime.

This movie will not arrive w/ a digital copy. After returning my copy only to recieve the blu-ray + DVD copy for a second time it was related to me via phone the blu-ray + DVD + Digital Copy is not available. You will recieve sku # 9698099 instead. Yet the website still sells that specific edition that is not available. Must be a glitch. I hope this review saves you the trouble.

I bought these Polk T15 Speakers as a cheap replacement for my bedroom Stereo A/V system. I read very good things from the Reviews at BB and other places. Honestly, in the store I couldn't tell much difference between all of the Bookshelf Speakers lined up for Demo. When I got these home, what a difference!! The reviews were right! These Speakers are Great!! I'm hearing music with much more definition and clarity than my larger bookshelf speakers in our family room A/V system. It makes hearing every song a whole new experience, as I'm hearing music I didn't ever hear before! I'm not a huge Bass fan, but I do like to hear it in music. These little speakers deliver very good bass from their small package! They are way better than any speaker I've ever owned. I can't EVER see myself paying $250 or more for a pair of speakers, as these are much less $$ than any of the other "High End" speakers out there, and the others didn't sound any better to me. Being that I got them on sale for $65/pair (I guess they go on sale for $50/pair), I feel really good about this purchase. I will soon be buying another pair for my main family room system. I love music, but I never knew how much I was missing before getting these speakers!! While I think most times you get what you pay for, in this case you get a whole lot more!! Great Speakers Polk and thanks Best Buy!!
