Godfather Part II comparison pics up: El Padrino 2 DVD vs. El Padrino 2 - Remasterización de Coppola DVD DVD Comparativa - ZONADVD.com Quite a bit of difference on some of these.
I'm going to have to go with The Shawshank Redemption as well. The part when Andy plays the classical music over the speakerphone (and then turns it up louder) is one of the greatest scenes ever. I'm pretty sure I'm going to love The Mist, but I haven't seen it yet.
Oddly enough, the Blockbusters near me always stock only the widescreen versions of dvds if available. There's probably a few old P&S discs lying around, but I can count on all new releases to be in WS.
Nope. Last year's Hogfather has yet to be released here in R1 as well. There were rumours that Hallmark Channel would be airing it, but that never panned out.
There were details at the Cunning Artificer's forum (www.discworldstamps.com) awhile ago that this was going to be a combination of the two books, as separately, they don't have the best plots for films. Together though, it worked out a whole lot better. I wish I could provide you with specific...
I honestly thought that the other guy did a good job, but the audio people didn't give his voice enough echo/rumble/bass. It needed more post-production work to completely sell him as DEATH. I was under the impression that he would have been back for this movie as well if he had not died earlier...
SkyOne's website for their production of The Colour of Magic/Light Fantastic is now online. Starring: David Jason, Sean Astin, Tim Curry, and Christopher Lee. (and Filch from the Harry Potter movies as Cohen the Barbarian)
Pretty nice looking, but unless the PQ is any better I'm going to wait until I find it cheap at a used dvd shop. I don't need to spend $15 for a few new extras (no matter how entertaining they might be).
Hey Gary, this might already have been planned, but I was hoping you could update the comparison pages for The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth with the new re-releases when possible. Thanks.
LE version is $12.99 at Best Buy. And the PQ is fantastic. If you enjoy Stand Alone Complex, you really do yourself a disservice by waiting for a BR version.
Jimmy, here's a review for the 4-disc set: http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/read.php?ID=28511 "Presented in their original 2.35:1 aspect ratios and enhanced for widescreen displays, all three Die Hard films feature identical transfers to the previous Special Edition releases."
Normally Warners is pretty reliable, I agree. However, just to play devil's advocate, they chose not to upgrade The Animatrix to HD for the HD-DVD Ultimate Matrix set. True, that could count to some as more of an "extra", but I think a lot of people were expecting that to get the HD treatment...
