Sounds (p.i.) like Blu's at least going too improve the audio!

I really liked The Kingdom. A nice, unexpected surprise, and a riveting little action/thriller which was also surprisingly low-key in its politcs. The HD-DVD looked and sounded pretty darn good, so I'll be picking up the Blu-ray.

I liked 'The Kingdom' because it's politics weren't so preachy like 'Lions Of The Lambs' etc. It's good to have an American movie once in a while that does not try to preach with every single frame.
