Sunday I decided to have a double Jack...no not a double shot of Jack Daniels, a double shot of Jack Nicholson.
First up was the excellent "the Pledge", then come intermission at the beach for a nice long walk with my sweetie, then of coarse..."the Shining".
I consider this to be one of Jack's best performances. I swear there are times he doesn't even have to speak, his face says it all.
This transfer is full framed (which is correct) and looks excellent most of the time. It does get alittle soft here and there, but it's not distracting, and never takes away from the viewing experience.
The new 5.1 soundtrack adds a new dimension to the film and I'm glad to have it. That said the original soundtrack is not included, and should be. I'd never use it, but the purest would...or at least say they would. I myself can't understand why anyone would listen to anything but the best possible soundtrack, but, to each his own...Kenny
