    Reaper Season 2....

    They finally got around to addressing Sam's "other" Dad - I was worried they just assumed we'd all forget about that. I am glad to see the Sock/Ted dynamic being extended - I hated that Andi found out so quickly about the sub-contracting because I wanted to see that go on for a while. Good stuff.

    Your first real "Wow" moment with BD

    "The Road Warrior" on Blu. Seeing the texture of the road and the details I had never seen before, like REALLY being able to read all the signs and things. Blew the old DVD away and had me sold.

    *** Official RAMBO Discussion Thread

    What an odd "discussion" thread. I saw this last night and really liked it - Stallone's commentary is well worth a listen as well. I was expecting all the mercenaries to be taken out and Rambo having to get the missionaries out on his own killing everyone in his path in the process. I was...

    Wow...Did GoodTimes Really Screw This One Up...

    So how could Goodtimes put out a DVD with the original music but Universal can't? This movie was made in 1981 - were there not provisions in licensing agreements for home video by then? I don't understand why the music would have to be re-licensed by Universal but not Goodtimes.

    The Horror Movie Appreciation Thread

    I just saw a French horror flick called "Inside". I watch a lot of horror movies and I don't get disturbed by much but I thought this one was pretty intense. Don't want to give too much away but it involves a pregnant woman and a very disturbed home invader. On the lighter side, I really...

    Thor (2011) Discussion/Review Thread

    So, casting is pretty much limited to guys that have worn armor before?

    Glad I rented There Will be Blood on SD - a definite purchase on BD. I hope Chinatown comes soon - my most wanted Paramount title.

    Assassination of Jesse James HD/BD on 2/26/08

    I finally got to see this after a "very long wait" from Netflix and loved it. The image quality didn't bother me as much as the lack of extras. The 30 minute doc was pretty good, but there was nothing about the film itself. Will this be revisited in the future do you think? This time with a...

    Movies to show my 9 year old?

    That is awesome! Has he seen the Pirates of the Caribbean movies? My 3 year old daughter loves "Jack the Sparrow" and we watch these a lot along with Lady and the Tramp. How about: The Natural Fletch Hoosiers Second Hand Lions

    What tv show would you love to see in HD?

    Band of Brothers The Sopranos Deadwood Firefly Arrested Development

    El Cid and NetFlix.

    They always buy a few copies of everything though - you usually have to wait a long time but they are there. Netflix does not generally upgrade any titles though if a better edition comes out (SD anyway), but I'm surprised they have Region 2 copies of anything.

    *** Official THERE WILL BE BLOOD Discussion Thread

    I saw this last night and really liked it but my expectations were way too high I think. Very well done and well acted - a beautiful movie - but there was just something missing I can't quite put my finger on. I will definitely buy this when it hits BD.

    *** Official ATONEMENT Discussion Thread

    Exactly how I felt. The scene on the beach with no cuts was technically impressive but that was it - it didn't add anything to the story. I will admit that the last five minutes or so were extremely effective and almost redeemed the movie...almost. I gave it 3 out of 5 at Netflix.

    Most disappointing abandoned dvd series

    I want the rest of Ned and Stacey so bad.

    Lots of 80's sitcoms..Where's Mr. Belvedere?

    I think if Ned and Stacey had fared better on DVD Ned's love of Mr. Belvedere would have created a groundswell of support for the show - but alas...I'm still waiting on the rest of Ned and Stacey!

    What are your favorite DVDs Now?

    I liked Revolver. A great film and great DVD that I think EVERYONE should see is "The Nines" - written and directed by John August and starring Ryan Reynolds, Hope Davis and Melissa McCarthy. I loved this movie and can't say enough good things about it. Be sure to watch the short film on the...

    *** Official NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN Discussion Thread

    The three Mexicans that Chigurh kills (one in the tub) were in Moss' first room. He had to get the second room to recover the money.

    That's terrible! What a loss.

    QUICK LOOK: Death at a Funeral

    I really enjoyed this as well. While somewhat predictable there were still enough fresh ideas to make this one a winner. alan Tudyk (who is not British) was great in this - he should be doing more work. Definitely worth checking out.

    Slipstream (Anthony Hopkins) Discussion Thread - A.K.A. Did I like it?

    Here is a Hopkins quote from Wikipedia: "I'm fascinated by time. I've written a script about the nature of reality... It's about reality and the illusion of life because life to me, as I get older, is so illusion-like, so dream-like, that I think it's all a dream. It's about a man, who's...

    Slipstream (Anthony Hopkins) Discussion Thread - A.K.A. Did I like it?

    I watched Slipstream last night - written and directed by Anthony Hopkins and I'm trying to decide what to make of it. I want this to be a discussion thread so there will be spoilers. I got a lot of the Hollywood satire aspects of the film; especially John Turturro's producer character. If...

    Juno - What does Digital Copy SE mean?

    For the Juno release there is a standard def DVD, a Digital Copy SE and a Digital Copy SE BD. What does the Digital Copy mean? Does it mean the film was shot on digital and then transferred directly to DVD or what?
