    The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy Blu-ray

    Outstanding and comprehensive review, Mr Yee! Thank you! :cool: I agree with the previous two posts about the significant upgrade in audio quality...I was VERY pleasantly surprised by the quality of the new non-HD audio mix (I use DTS 6.1 and DD 7.1). The balance is amazing, and the dialog is...

    Lord of the Rings Limited Edition Blu-ray available for Pre-order on Amazon

    Whoohoo!! Preorder is in! :) What Scott said a couple of posts ago is the same for me; I held out for the EE's on blu and passed on the theatricals.

    Blu-ray Review HTF BLU-RAY REVIEW: The Pacific

    I just finished this on BluRay a couple of weeks ago and it's still with me. Like Ron, I feel it's every bit as impressive as BoB. HBO is SO on their game on historical miniseries! I loved 'John Adams' as well, for that matter. The Pacific was very personal, and on some deeper level hit a...

    Blu-ray Review HTF Blu-ray Review: HEAT

    Michael, this was a fittingly epic and outstanding review! Thank you. I bought the Blu on day 1 and was able to watch it late the other night up until the end of the shootout scene in the streets. Of course, I've about worn out my DVD copy, as this film is my favorite film of all time. #1...

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Heat -- in Blu-ray

    From what I've heard, Al and Robert are friends. I don't subscribe to any of the ideas that the diner scene was anything but what we see, and they did act off each other. It's discussed on the special edition disc. What an amazing film. I liked it much better than Righteous Kill (which was...

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Heat -- in Blu-ray

    I can live with that....just was getting concerned that there would be more instances of it. I already pre-ordered this from amazon so I'm definitely on-board! You gotta say, Al's ad-libbing of that whole scene was awesome LOL.

    I certainly hope no lines were cut! I don't think there's a wasted line in the whole film.

    Thank you Robert! This is my #1 favorite film. I think it's perfect from top to bottom...can't wait for some BluRay goodness on this one.

    Thanks for the heads up, Zack! Season 3 is pre-ordered with BB! Nelson, my friend...thank you for your help while I was working out that pausing/PS3 issue.

    Star Trek TOS Season 2 Blu Ray official

    Time to revive! lol I LOVE my TOS season 1 and 2 sets! I discussed an issue with Nelson that I was having with TOS 2 where the episodes would pause during playback on my PS3. After some googling I discovered that if I disabled the internet connection to my PS3 (it's wired) that should solve...

    Inglourious Basterds (2009)

    I think another aspect that would throw people off is that the movie almost seems about 50% basterds, 50% Emmanuelle's character's situation, and they might go in expecting 100% basterds. I loved how the film played out, just sayin'.

    Inglourious Basterds (2009)

    I'm happy if it's doing well out of it's first weekend. I'm doing my part to spread the word to my friends that I loved it and why. But word of mouth seems pretty split, so I don't know what to expect for the BO returns this weekend.

    Inglourious Basterds (2009)

    My wife and I screened this yesterday along with our 18 year old daughter and her 19 year old friend (male). My wife and I LOVED it, thought it brilliant, the kids were bored by it, quite simply lol. I think this movie shot right into my top 15 or so...it's amazing. I loved every moment of...

    Star Trek TOS Season 2 Blu Ray official

    I'm all over this one as well. TOS 1 is a GREAT collection and looking forward very much to Season 2!

    Lord of the Rings Trilogy Blu Ray set for release November 3rd

    This mirrored my situation almost exactly. I read the books after I saw TTT in the theater. But it was the EE of FOTR that completely brought me around. The intro and alll other additions in the FOTR:EE sold me, whereas the TE on it's own with no prior knowledge was a turn off.

    Lord of the Rings Trilogy Blu Ray set for release November 3rd

    A compelling argument can absolutely be made for either version, I agree. They both work. For me, the DC showing the colony in full swing before it's overrun makes it that much more eerie when the Marines show up. But like you said, it ALSO work in the TC to have them just show up and try to...

    Star Trek films on Blu-Ray... what we know so far

    Good post and interesting points, Nelson. I for one, liked the nautical styled unis of II-VI. They were grand and theatric; great for the FILMS. Were they something that might be realistically used? I think not on duty; they looked too freakin hot and itchy! But for dress occasions they...

    New Star Trek TOS sets, TNG films and Star Trek 2009 rumoured dates

    I was fine with the new film, but have to agree that Kirk's promotion from cadet to Starfleet Captain was a little extreme, even under the circumstances. Reminded me of those funny promotions in the Star Wars films. Han Solo, wanna be a general?? Luke, wanna be a commander?? Lando...

    Lord of the Rings Trilogy Blu Ray set for release November 3rd

    James, you would take Aliens without the sentry gun sequences?? Are you daft man?? Just kidding, but IMO, Aliens is much better in the extended cut. Interesting seeing Newt's brother and parents and the derelict one more time, etc. Back OT, I'll admit that an argument can be made that...

    Lord of the Rings Trilogy Blu Ray set for release November 3rd

    +10000000000000 on these statements. Peter has said that the theatrical cuts are his cuts, and that the EE's are for the fans. But I can't even watch the theatrical cuts anymore, and I haven't since the EE for each movie came out.

    Who will be busting ghosts June 16th?

    I'm having a really good time with it (360). Overall, it's a pretty nice package with some minor issues, but an interesting, cinematic Ghostbusters experience. The game has two really big draws for fans; you essentially get to 'experience' a third Ghostbusters film, as this was written by...

    New Star Trek TOS sets, TNG films and Star Trek 2009 rumoured dates

    Paul, I watched all of the deleted scenes last night. They were actually some good ones...I particularly liked the 'new first officer' and Data and Picard's conversation over wine.

    New Star Trek TOS sets, TNG films and Star Trek 2009 rumoured dates

    Now I'm really intrigued! Thanks Paul, I'll have a look in the next day or so at those. Branching directors cut might be good then?

    New Star Trek TOS sets, TNG films and Star Trek 2009 rumoured dates

    Guess I'll have to pop in the Nemesis CE bonus DVD and see what you're talking about, Paul. I don't know if I ever saw the deleted scenes....

    Contact coming in October!

    :laugh: Good one! God that layer switch....I'd even lose the audio stream momentarily as the player 'recovered' back then. I'm all over this one when it comes to BD. Opening sequence with the universe pull-back should be stunning.

    New Star Trek TOS sets, TNG films and Star Trek 2009 rumoured dates

    And I like how brave you are! j/k...Nemesis is not in my favorites list. I was hoping the 'final' TNG film would feature Q. Seems only fitting.
