HD SCREENCAPS: |
Another gallery of captures from Blu-ray discs, strictly for entertainment purposes. Please only look at these caps as a very vague indication of what the actual image quality is, which obviously will look a lot better on your calibrated 1080p TV set/monitor/display. HD screencaps look quite different from site to site, monitor to monitor; differences in color, contrast, darkness levels always vary. Nor is this a review site, simply because I'm pretty bad at spotting meddling, or at least the different versions of this (EE, DNR, grain removal -- there's a ton of grain removal processes, blocking, halos, mosquio noise, ringing, posterization, banding, jaggies, etc.) All that being said: enjoy, hopefully this site will offer a look at some titles not found elsewhere. Some of these images will have spoilers and R-rated content. Updates will be weekly -- if possible. Lastly, a lot of people have asked, so I'll cheat and let someone else explain, but here's the answer to "Why JPEG?"
Last 10 Titles Added: Luftslottet som sprängdes, Flickan som lekte med elden, Män som hatar kvinnor, Micmacs, Road to Perdition, Ichi the Killer, Days of Heaven, The Thomas Crown Affair, The White Ribbon, Vegas.

("Who said that the films in the sidebar Alice in the City are meant only for younger viewers? It is precisely this section that delivers a blow to the stomach in perhaps the most shocking film at the Rome Film Festival. There is no pulp or sensationalism, however, in Vegas, the third feature by Gunnar Vikene, which hits hard and straight. The film tells the attempts of three adolescents to avoid a violent fate that seems written in their DNA, and to free themselves of the chains that bind them to their feelings of guilt." -- Cineuropa)
(NOTE: Disc contains English subtitles.)
[NOTE: Okay, a short burst of laziness - and lack of fresh titles - happened. Will be adding some treats over the next week, though.]
