'High Fidelity' - High-Def Digest Review

**Attebery** · 08-07-2012 02:15 PM

Steven Cohen has just reviewed one of my top 5 favorite films: 'High Fidelity'

He says the video transfer shows some signs of processing but it still looks quite solid. Audio is a little front-loaded, but this mix complements the story well. The film itself holds up very well. This Blu-ray is recommended.

In a career defining role, Jack Black is hilarious, lending the part of Barry his trademark comedic passion and furry.

Jack Black is a bit hairy, but I'm going to venture that the word "fury" was intended.

Why didn't you review it, Mike?

**Attebery** · 08-07-2012 05:06 PM

I was tempted. Steven did a great job though!

Was just flipping through the Blu-ray and had to make myself turn it off.

Favorite High Fidelity quotes?

**project-blu** · 08-07-2012 09:40 PM

opening lines, paraphrased obviously: was i miserable because i listen to pop music, or did i listen to pop music because i was miserable?

I love how Chicago it is. If you're into the Chicago music scene it's a landmine of cameos of album covers and whatnot.

John Cusack is a huge fan of The Clash and it's one of the reasons why they are referenced in almost every film of his.

Let's Get It On! Just watched GPB and this is next!

**Attebery** · 08-09-2012 05:26 PM

Anyone watch it yet?

**project-blu** · 08-09-2012 06:44 PM

i put it in just to see how the picture held up briefly, then turned it off when jack black's annoying ass showed up. looks decent for the price.

**Attebery** · 08-10-2012 08:07 PM

Watched it last night. Sublime.

"High Fidelity" looks much better than "Grosse Point Blank". Still looks like a dated master, but not offensively so.

Doing a double bill of this and GPB last night made me miss the old Cusack. He's been so supremely blah in his more recent movies ("The Raven" was exceptionally mediocre; "2012" may be one of the greatest comedies every made, but I don't think anyone involved in the production, including Cusack, seemed to know that while they were making it).
