Limited Keepsake Edition of Dirty Dancing

“Dirty Dancing” still boasts a wide, passionate and primarily female fan base, nearly 23 years after Johnny Castle first yanked Baby out of her corner and twirled her into the spotlight, which is why — despite the fact that the Patrick Swayze hip-grinder has already been released multiple times on DVD — yet another version has been issued, just in time for last-minute Mother’s Day shopping. It is really a good news for dvd and blu-ray lovers.

The “Dirty Dancing: Limited Keepsake Edition” — out on DVD ($29.98) and Blu-ray ($34.99) today — marks the first version of the summer-in-the-Catskills romance released since Swayze’s death last year of pancreatic cancer. Both two-disc sets make a point of acknowledging his passing with a 15-minute tribute to Swayze, as well as an In Memoriam montage that salutes several of the key “Dancing” players — actors Jerry Orbach, Jack Weston, Max Cantor and director Emile Ardolino — who have died since the film’s 1987 release.

Brief Review on Blu-ray Traffic

I have tried to finish watching Traffic several times before but it turned out that I just turned on my DVD player and then sat back on the sofa killing about three hours aimlessly. Then I would wonder what Steven Soderbergh, the director of this movie and also one of the biggest film makers in Hollywood, was doing after his two “Ocean´s Eleven” sequels.

On a long trip, I would also watch this movie to kill the immense time. Yes, pretty sure, don’t be puzzled. I just rip and convert the original DVDs with a DVD ripper which is available online. I just download and install that iToolSoft  DVD Ripperfree on my computer and add the DVDs into this program, then choose the target video format. Everything is ok, just wait the conversion to be finished in a short time. Continue reading
