Blu Ray is Directors Cut
I haven't watched Playing God, but I did watch, The Color of Night. I owned the previous Directors Cut, and it appears to have the same content. This is the extended version. A previous reviewer stated that on cable showings, there is more to be seen. Since, I've never seen it on cable, I cannot comment on that, but if you are looking for the previously released Director's Cut, it's here. The video content is improved over the DVD. It's a pretty clean print and I did not find anything wrong with the video. It's not as pristine as a newer release, it looks more like an upconverted DVD, but I'm sure it's the best it's ever looked. Audio was average...nothing to write home about.
For the price you really can't go wrong. If you are on the fence, I'd say go ahead and buy.
Good film bad film crime thriller lineup
Hey, for $6.99 or less, what can you lose? Well, $6.99 to start with and four hours of your time, but honestly it is worth $6.99 or less, nothing more. Both movies are loaded on one side of one disc.
The Color of Night is a sexy and twist-filled noir-like who-done-it that will keep you watching. The acting is fair at best, with the exception of Jane March who steps it up a notch. The video transfer varies noticeably during the film but never gets unwatchable, just grainy at times like you see in the first scenes. For most of the film though the transfer is sharp digital that never quite rises to Blu-ray perfection. I enjoy the movie though and will probably watch it once a year or so.
Playing God? Wow, what can I say. On the positive side the transfer is significantly better than Color of Night. Unfortunately the movie is so bad it is actually fun to watch......once. The plot kind of works, but the acting, action, scene detail, and soundtrack...
Great movie
Color of Night: A very intriguing tale involving multiple personalities, a stressed out therapist, an interesting group of patients, murder and great sexual scenes. This was one of my favorite movies when it came out, and now, in blu ray, it is even better.
Playing God: A twisted tale of arrogance gone wrong. A doctor, hooked on himself and drugs, falls low enough to get involved with some real bad characters. A good movie all in all.
This double feature rocks!
