Escape From New York: Finally got around to watching the blu-ray release. It's quite a nice transfer, better than I was hoping for. Maybe it's just the increase in detail, but it seemed like in a fair number of scenes the depth of field was very shallow. The main focal point was tack sharp, but then the periphery was out of focus. My main gripe about this release though would have to be the utter lack of extras. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. Pretty disappointing. Although I guess with what MGM is going through it's not too surprising, but they could have at least thrown on the extra stuff from the special edition release even if it wasn't HD.
