Blu-Ray Review: ‘Contempt,’ ‘The Ladykillers,’ ‘Ran’
Submitted by BrianTT on February 19, 2010 - 1:01pmCHICAGO – I have to admit to a bit of trepidation every time a studio outside of the widely acknowledged masters tries their hand at catalog releases but the Lionsgate/StudioCanal Blu-ray releases of “Contempt,” “The Ladykillers,” and “Ran” are spectacular. Not only do the films look amazing in HD but they’ve been given copious special features. Don’t miss them.
