[Blu-Ray Review] ‘Trading Places’ (1983) (Paramount Presents); Now Available From Paramount

Advertisements

Trading Places (1983) (Paramount Presents) [Blu-Ray]

Director: John Landis

Cast: Dan Aykroyd, Eddie Murphy, Jamie Lee Curtis

Release Date: December 1, 2020

A Review By: Kevin Lovell

Disc Rating: 8/10

Synopsis:

The very rich and extremely greedy Duke Brothers (Don Ameche and Ralph Bellamy) wager a bet over whether “born-loser” Billy Ray Valentine (Eddie Murphy) could become as successful as the priggish Louis Winthorpe III (Dan Akroyd) if circumstances were reversed. So begins one of the funniest, most outrageous comedies of the 80s, cementing Eddie Murphy’s superstar status. Alongside the street-smarts of Ophelia (Jamie Lee Curtis), Winthorpe and Valentine are a trio ready for a riotous revenge that culminates on the commodities trading floor in New York City. Trading Places is presented here newly remastered from a 4K film transfer, under the supervision of director John Landis.

It’s that time again, although this year has certainly been drastically unlike any other in recent memory and the world of film has been changed dramatically to accommodate the lack of theaters open. Fortunately, while there may have been significantly fewer big blockbusters than usual seeing a release this year, there was still no shortage of great films released during 2020 in one way or another. As is usually the case, there are many that I haven’t yet had the pleasure to check out, but based on what I’ve seen over the year I’ve once again compiled the ten best films of the year in my opinion. Continue below to check out my Top 10 list for 2020 and then sound off in the comments with what some of your favorite films are from this year!
