Old School Blu-ray
UnratedDreamWorks | 2003 | 92 mins | Unrated | Dec 16, 2008
Old School(2003)Comedy     A trio of thirty-something buddies tries to recapture the outrageous, irrepressible fun of their college years by starting their own off-campus frat house. Mitch, Frank and Beanie have all reached a crossroads in their lives. They can choose to be responsible adults, with wives, families and steady jobs--or they can postpone adulthood in favor of the reckless abandon of frat house living with all the fun and none of the education. No contest.

Much like the movie, the first half of the transfer don't seem to hold up as well as the later half. Much of the image takes on a rather drab, slightly obscure tone at first, not allowing for much in the way of vibrant colors or high levels of fine detail. Later in the movie, the image seems to brighten up, offering more robust and rich colors, and an appreciable, but not high, level of detail and texture. Both the early and later segments of the movie offer good high definition imagery, but neither qualify as "eye candy." Nor does the film exhibit much depth. The print's second half is also cleaner than its first; grain and blemishes both seem reduced later in the film. Blacks are strong, and flesh tones never veer too far from natural. Old School is certainly no Baraka, but DreamWork's efforts here are satisfactory and should please any and all die-hard fans. Old School Blu-ray, Audio Quality Old School parties hard on Blu-ray with an adequate Dolby TrueHD 5.1 lossless soundtrack. The popular music that so permeates the picture spreads out nicely over the front channels, coming across as sufficient in volume and clarity at reference level. However, the foul-mouthed band playing at the wedding reception early in the film offers little in the way of a lifelike presence. This particular performance comes across as generally flat and uninspired. Some of the more rambunctious party sequences feature a fair amount of bass and presence around the soundstage, but nothing in the mix ever truly engulfs the listener. This mix offers very little in the way of rear channel activity, either in the form of ambient environmental support or discrete sound effects. Dialogue reproduction is crisp and natural, emanating from the center channel with solid clarity and at an appropriate volume in relation to the rest of the track. Old School doesn't offer listeners a new school lossless whiz-bang action extravaganza soundtrack, but considering it accompanies a comedy with only limited opportunity for sonic excellence, the track performs its assigned duties adequately enough.
