Got a new Blu Ray player recently, so thought it would be fun to do another Friday featuring horrors in High Def. The first player we had was a first generation player and it got to a point where a lot of newer Blu Rays were not loading because it's processor wasn't able to decode all of the newer discs loaded with so much information that the poor thing would just shut down. As a result there was an ever growing pile of Blu Rays that it just couldn't handle.
As far as The Shining on Blu Ray goes, it's not one of the super sophisticated combo packs that have become so popular. It's jut your basic single disc pack with some nice extras on it that include Vivian Kubrick's on set documentary The Making Of The Shining, movie commentary by Steadicam Inventor and Operator Garrett Brown and Historian John Baxter, and 3 new featurettes: View From The Overlook: Crafting The Shining, The Visions of Stanley Kubrick and Wendy Carlos, Composer, and, of course, the Theatrical Trailer. Some have rated the picture quality as so-so on Blu Ray rating sites; this I have to disagree with, I think it's looks great, especially the night scenes in the snow covered maze!
