It's incredibly quiet compared to the original. The only time I hear the fan is when I'm taking out a disc I've just watched, and that's not even bad. Whatever Sony did when they made the slim model was a huge improvement.
The theatrical version of the Exorcist would be fantastic. Christine would be sweet too. Not sure how many people were fans of it, but I did like the Hill Have Eyes remake. Or at least I did when I saw it when it came out...
I'm on my second PS3 and love it. I bought the slim model because the fan was so much quieter than the original, but I've never had any playback issues with either one of them. My Samsung player (don't remember the model number...I think it's the BDP-1600 but could be wrong) works OK but loads...
My January recap. 8 films in 31 days is not a good showing for me. Hopefully February will improve. For me the best new discovery goes to District 9 with the worst new discovery going to 9. I had really been looking forward to both of these films and District 9 met my expectations while 9...
My girlfriend had never watched Lost and we just plowed through seasons 1-5. I didn't start watching until season 4 was done but I'm eargerly looking forward to seeing how it all ends.

Drag Me To Hell (2009) 1/2 - A loan officer denies an extension on a mortgage to an old gypsy woman. Not a good idea. I went into this not really knowing what to expect. The first trailers did nothing for me but when I started reading reviews of the Blu-ray I decided it would be worth a blind...
Cloverfield (2008) 1/2 - Monster destroys New York. I love a good monster movie and this one really surprised me. I'm not a huge fan of the shaky cam (here's looking at you Blair Witch) but I thought that it was well done in this movie.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Season Four: Superstar - Jonathan, a quiet kid from Sunnydale High, is a...well "superstar" in town. He fights better than Buffy, everyone looks to him for guidance and he starred in The Matrix. Obviously all is not what it seems. This is one of my favorite...
After reading various reviews I'm definitely more interested in this movie now. I love a good horror film but was honestly not very impressed with the Evil Dead movies. Perhaps a blind purchase is in order!
Sleepy Hollow (1999) 1/2 - A pretty straightforward documentary with plenty of talking head interviews about hauntings in people's homes. This show has not aged well but it was still fairly interesting.
Zombieland - Zombies have infested the earth (again) and a small group bands together to head to an amusement park. I really enjoyed this movie. It's not the most original movie out there but it was a lot of fun and the audience was really into it.
Finally had time to watch a few movies: Ghostbusters: What can you say about Ghostbusters that hasn't been said before. My girlfriend had never seen it and she really enjoyed it. Not scary but it does have ghosts. Shaun of the Dead: I didn't care for this when I first saw it but it grew on...
Busy weekend so only one movie watched. The Fog (1980) - John Carpenter's movie still manages to creep me out. I can't help but think about the film whenever I have to drive or walk through fog.
Nosferatu (1929) - I thought this would be a good one to start with since my girlfriend isn't into the scary movies much. She did enjoy this one though. We watched it streaming through Netflix and I'm not sure if it originally had color shifts between indoor and outdoor scenes. Basically the...
I bought a slim last week to replace my old one which I sold to a friend for $100. Compared to the original it is much quieter! The load times seem similar but I'm not timing it - just a general impression. Overall I'm very pleased with it!
