My set arrived today (R2), and I have real problems watching waxworks outside of Madam Tussaud's. These transfers look pretty good to me. As good as I expect films of this age would ever allow. Can't comment on Star Trek V though. Not sure that will ever make its way into the player ;)

Interestingly, Goldeneye and Diamonds Are Forever are both now available in HD for rental from the Apple store (if you have an AppleTV).

I've also watched it over my Xmas break ... I have to agree. It looks great on my 1080p display. Spectacular at a few points. This rates for me alongside a small number of other discs, 12 Monkeys being another, which show off hi-def's ability to show both what the filmmaker intended and the...

Leningrad Cowboys Go America... (How could no-one have mentioned this???) :D

Brazil (Criterion) - This is the set that really shows off what DVD can do to enhance your appreciation of a film. It really all started with this set, which I think remains the benchmark for "serious" DVD packages. North by Northwest - This is the disc that really shows what DVD can do for...

Watched it twice now - at the Embassy theatre in Wellington. NZ Audiences have been great - there's been clapping and cheering both times, and people pulling out the hankies when they should. But this is PJ's home town - perhaps we are biased over here...? :)

I'm not 100% sure, but I think the inclusion of DTS on R4 releases where not available on R1 releases is because we often have only English soundtracks. Often the R1 releases have a wider selection of audio (often French, for example, which I assume is to keep those Canadians happy) that we...

It is to be expected, though. People were saying at the the time that those prices wouldn't last, as a lot of companies were loss-leading to clear out their competitors. For some, like Reel and Express, that didn't play out too well - the market held up pretty well, they lost a lot of money...

Hate to rain on anyone's parade, but it's on the schedule to come out at about the same time in R4 as well...

...all now available for pre-order...but sadly, a R2 release. All 3 being released on 29 October...

Hey Omer, You're a goldmine of useful info. So here's a toughie for you...is R2 going to see the same 2-disc version of Magnolia that R1 is getting?
