Escape From L.A.
Blu-Ray Review: John Carpenter’s ‘Escape From L.A.’ With Kurt Russell
Submitted by BrianTT on May 3, 2010 - 12:28pmCHICAGO – There is no Blu-ray justice. The great “Escape From New York” sits unavailable in HD, along with dozens of other great movies of its era, but the vastly inferior sequel “Escape From L.A.” lands on the format this week. “L.A.” isn’t a horrible film, but it works mostly because of the goodwill created by love for the original, which makes that film’s unavailability on the format all the more bewildering.
