Yet another classic arrives in HD this fall when Universal releases the Scarface Special Limited Edition Blu-ray. It's getting a premium treatment too, with Steelbook packaging, 7.1 DTS-HD MA audio, art cards, and even the 1932 original version of Scarface on DVD. Universal's packed in the extras on the disc too, including a couple of U-control add-ons that keep track of both F-bombs dropped and bullets fired, plus picture-in-picture breakdowns with director Brian De Palma, Al Pacino, Screenwriter Oliver Stone and more.....
On Criterion Blu-ray with a beautiful high definition transfer and an appropriately crisp DTS-hd Master audio track, this was my first time seeing Brian De Palma's Blow Out and I enjoyed it immensely. A Criterion audience will especially find this a perfect fit for their collection as it speaks to the interest of film enthusiasts, by which I mean people that enjoy going beyond the movie. The people that bask in Criterion's wealth of special features and the filmmaking insights they bring. In this sense, Blow Out serves as its own special feature as it is just as much a movie about filmmaking as it is a thriller revolving around the political assassination at its core.
