I am one of those rare people who enjoy being “double dipped.”
My reviews of the Blu-rays ofHeatandLogan’s Runafter the jump.
Heat is one of the great American films.

Robert De Niro stars as Neal McCauley, a high line criminal who knows how to rob.
His crew wants to wack him, but Waingro escapes.
Heatis an epic, and Mann began drawing it in 1987, with his TV show/movieLA Takedown.
And yet for a three hour movie, it never slows down, nor feels long.
But as this is a demo disc to begin with, it’s a small price to pay.
There’s a making of (59 min.)

“Pacino and De Niro: The Conversation” (10 min.)
They’re too strong.
“Return to the Scene of the Crime” (12 min.)

is a location tour with the production designer.
There are also eleven deleted scenes/snippets (10 min.)
Three trailers round out the disc.
Logan’s Run is amusing junk.
The view of the future inLogan’s Runcould not be anything but from 1976.
It’s right before Star Wars and you might feel it in the film’s bones.
But they’re obviously running through a mall at many points, and the model work is very noticeable.
There’s also Farrah Fawcett adding to the camp appeal.
Warner Brothers presents the film in widescreen (2.35:1) and in Dolby Digital 5.1 TrueHD.
Extras include a commentary with Michael York, director Michael Anderson, and costume designer Bill Thomas.
There’s a featurette called “A Look into the 23rdCentury” and the film’s theatrical trailer.
