Definitely Worth A Double Dip
The 4K video compared to the original Blu-Ray was quite an upgrade. I did not view the included Blu ray 1080p disc.The film now has a mature and very stable picture with beautiful color. I can tell the disc has a very healthy bit rate. The transfer has unobtrusive fine grain throughout without clumping. The one exception was unfortunately the opening scene in a dark interior. I was just about to be super disappointed because of that first scene, but it never disappointed after the first 5 minutes. If you have ever seen the 4K presentation of “Terms of Endearment”, it is very similar – and probably has the similar film stock. The image doesn’t sparkle like a newer film, but has a nostalgic look – appropriate for such a period piece. The Atmos soundtrack was super clear with dialogue coming through loud and clear. I don’t have the spatial channels, but as per usual, the 7.1 fold down displays an improved audio experience. Since there are no action movie opportunities for a flashy sound design, you’ll have to be happy in hearing spaciousness in the music soundtrack and the occasional motorized vehicles or crowd cheers. I highly recommend this purchase. You won’t be disappointed!

Title
Great movie! Funny!

highly fictionalized film of USA’s first professional women’s baseball league
Dottie Hanson, played by actress Geena Davis, is pretty but married, and also empathetic and smart. To help her younger sister realize her dreams for a life beyond the farm, the pair accepts the New York recruiter’s invitation (played by Jon Lovitz) to attend the tryouts for the fledgling All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (it should be noted that Dottie would have been considered a ‘woman’ in this time period because she is married, whereas single women were referred to as ‘girls’). The recruiter signed over a hundred of baseball and softball’s finest from Canada and the USA to the tryouts in Chicago. Once the team is selected and a team manager is hired – Jimmy Dugan, played by Tom Hanks, the film becomes less nostalgia and increasingly comedic. Dugan is a washed-up home run hitter and alcoholic who aimlessly spits tobacco and struck out in life with two failed marriages. He is also initially against women playing baseball, although the grit and heart of his players slowly erodes his unfounded bias. Dugan’s baseball past continues to attract fans for his autograph, which his employers recognize is profitable. Memorable teammates played by actresses Lori Petty, Madonna, and Rosie O’Donnell provide a comedy cast of hilarious on-the-field and off-the-field antics as the ‘girls’ blaze a trail to the World Series in this highly fictionalized film loosely based on a true story. The film concludes with Dottie choosing to return to her married life in Oregon after one memorable season and her sister staying in Racine, Wisconsin with her new team, while Dugan stays manager of his team.Although touted as a comedy, compared to Major League, a 1989 film starring Tom Beringer, Charlie Sheen, and Corbin Bernsen, this film was slow-moving and seldom hilarious. In short, I found it predictable and a bit of a grind to watch. Nonetheless, there were some touching scenes from the several back stories, especially the father/daughter relationship and sibling rivalry. The Library of Congress liked the film much more than me, calling it “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant”, according to a reference (no. 3) at Wikipedia.org . The film’s scriptwriters seemed cognizant of sociology’s hegemony theory, going so far as changing the actual Mr. Wrigley into a fictional character – Walter Harvey of Harvey Bars. This movie likely staved off any potential lawsuits for defamation of character.
