Seem to remember The Golden Compass being nominated (winning?) one year and that was an abysmal murdering of a fantastic book. <br /><br />On The Artist, I would have liked more pace to it - which might have solved your problems - but I found enough to keep me going.Sam Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05696602364349746693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685634083080876125.post-30721732378174575972012-06-29T09:42:59.519+01:002012-06-29T09:42:59.519+01:00I'm not sure I'd bother with the Blu-ray u...I'm not sure I'd bother with the Blu-ray unless you can find it on a good deal. It looked fine, but not as impressive as some of the transfers I've seen. Wouldn't have it under 'must buy'.Sam Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05696602364349746693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685634083080876125.post-9481992422545128302012-06-28T23:16:10.216+01:002012-06-28T23:16:10.216+01:00I'm not going to say I'm well versed in Si...I'm not going to say I'm well versed in Silent cinema (though I have seen, actually slept through, a fair few) and I can't say I agree with the positive sentiment: I'm a little more mixed. I found it enjoyable but also rather dull at the same time.<br /><br />Perhaps I didn't dwell in the thematics of the film as much as I did the main narrative but I never engaged in a (purposefully, it would seem) very formulaic story that lifts from A Star is Born/Singin' in the Rain.<br /><br />And let's be a little fair to Transformers, they're awful films from a narrative/acting perspective but on a technical one? Some of the best technical feats of the last few years, an interesting contrast with simplicity of The Artist. Or maybe not! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685634083080876125.post-1318712852771574092012-06-28T20:36:33.773+01:002012-06-28T20:36:33.773+01:00What was your feeling on the Blu Ray transfer?

I've held off on picking this one up after seeing at the cinema as I can't decide if it's worth getting on Blu Ray or just DVD.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685634083080876125.post-39920056675969475382012-06-28T11:34:17.792+01:002012-06-28T11:34:17.792+01:00Everyone has doubts, fear them not!
