Lonesome Dove Bluray
I have written before about the benefits of old movies that have been remastered in high definition for bluray. After watching Lonesome Dove for the third time, my first in high-def, I cannot complement this title more. While it doesn't look as sharp as a new title would, for a TV miniseries from the late 80's it looks fantastic. In comparison to the DVD version it is amazing how much detail and texture can now be seen where before there was only low resolution video noise. Some of the night scenes still contain a few rough moments, but that can easily be forgiven when the rest of this six hour masterpiece looks so good. If you are a fan of westerns and you haven't seen Lonesome Dove before you owe it to yourself to check it out in high-def. Treat yourself to one of the best and most brutally realistic portrayals of the American west featuring what is arguably Robert Duvall's best performance.
