Blu-Ray Goodness...!

[PHArchivist]

I suppose its a little silly to post my elation with receiving something as simple as a couple of Blu-Ray discs, but its the small pleasures in life we thrive on, no...?

Ordered just a day or two ago on Amazon, I just got today:
--The Right Stuff; Digibook
--High Plains Drifter; 40th Anniversary and newly released on Blu
--The Mission

Did not even know The Right Stuff Digibook was out there until I stumbled across it accidentally. Love the movie; love Digibooks.

HPD is my top Eastwood western, and I've been aching to see this released on Blu. All good things come to those that wait. Reviews are stellar, and I plan to enjoy.

The Mission is referenced by Jack Black in a holiday Rom-Com my wife makes me watch each year. Black ( composer in the rom-com) raves about the score. Thought I'd give it a whirl.

High Plains Drifter is also my favorite Eastwood movie. Does it come with any extra features?

Unfortunately not...

Even the SD DVD has more info (production notes). Nothing on the blu-ray though. Picture quality was good, but not jaw dropping. For eample, Bond Dr. No was better. But still a big improvement over the DVD.
