As much as I loved this film, and as much as I'm a fan of just about everybody in it, the ending with the sonar-cellphone thing made me cringe. It was a near perfect movie up until then. The ending...

Aren't you the smarmy little mite. If this was an unmoderated forum, I'd show you what being a smartass is really all about.

I'll tell you what. You supply me the links to these interviews with the Gerald Hirschfeld, and I'll check them out. I know this before seeing them, that his comments don't support your argument,...

And I can't wait until I'm proven correct. I made a sound argument, the details of which went unacknowledged. Not once did any of you address the technical argument I made, about the optical effect...

I stand by what I said. You're simply not far enough on the inside of this industry to dispute my contention with any authority. If both of these things -- sharpening tools and poor compression --...

I watched about twenty minutes of Body Heat last night, and I was very impressed with the look and the sound. The grain was natural, and in fact, I think the only reason I noticed it at all is...

What a lot of hogwash that is. I guess it would depend on the viewer, and what their mindset is at the time of the experience, how sophisticated their aesthetics about movies themselves. In my own...

Actually, clearly you don't. If grain is exaggerated, something's wrong. Some part of the process in getting it to Blu-ray has been fouled, by somebody at some point. You're almost like a...

What's absurd is thinking I'd base my opinion on just that, in light of everything else I wrote. That's absurd. Worse, even.

You don't know that for sure. You're just assuming the best, but I'm skeptical about what studios do. Perhaps the original film is badly damaged due to neglect, and the best copy was a video tape...

Sounds good to me. Your statements suggest a thorough review. You see, I'm worried a bit about this. Here's why.

When I bought a DVD of Thief, it was apparent that it was transferred from VHS...

DVD Talk review of 'Body Heat' (Blu-ray)

RE: Jeffrey Kauffman's DVD review of Body Heat at dvdtalk.com/reviews.

This film is a modern classic, and I can't agree more with your review of the film itself. It's simply the best in modern...

I pointed out a specific memory of a specific scene. The memory is vivid and accurate, and logical, too. I clearly remember my reaction to that scene (and at least one other; but definitely that...

They mention the Blu-ray's release, but they hadn't seen it. That was disingenuous of you, to twist the point I was making. Sort of changes this for me, and makes me wonder how far you'll go to...

You mean, of the 697 total reviews? No, I have not. Opinions vary, just as do the opinions of "professional" DVD reviewers. It still doesn't mean that people who write reviews at Amazon have less...

Well, like everything else, you gloss over what I say to diminish the truth of it. There are indeed only five reviews, but two complain about the grain. And, true, one of them is mine. But of the...

Oh, there's no doubt about that. None whatsover. But even those old movies didn't have grain in them like this. That's not revisionism to say they didn't. Those old movies in those days were...
