Some of 'em haven't been released theatrically yet.

It's a pretty uneven bag, but I'd grab a couple of 'em.

Ive heard of all of these except "Evening".

lol... you know, I've read this list on the Bits, on AVS, and here... and somehow I read right past this title every single time. I've been saying that I'll buy 7 on that list. We might have to make that 8.

I don't know if this'll be good or not... but the odds seem to be in its favor. As a big fan of Freaks & Geeks, I have a feeling I'll love this.

Trailer is here: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/evening/

If the transfers are done right, the visuals on What Dreams May Come and Elizabeth should be fantastic in HD. I loved the SD-DVDs back in the day.

I've been meaning to pick up Elizabeth for a while now. Glad I waited.

Wish I could say the same, but I bought it this weekend......and of course right on cue it gets announced for release on HD.

^

LoL... that's usually my special power. Look for Fletch and Parenthood on HD DVD soon, since I grabbed both of those recently.

Dawn of the Dead '04 has a release date. YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for buying Fletch!

When the guy simply reports the news, like he did here, there's no problem; it's when he starts speculating based on that news that people get pissed with him.

Chronicles of Narnia coming to Blu-ray later this year, tentatively late Summer/early Fall.

Some Early Details of 'Hot Fuzz' HD DVD/DVD Combo

Hot Fuzz isn't exactly announced on HD DVD yet but it will be, soon. We've some early details about the HD DVD/DVD combo release in our hands right now. As usual, the main feature is presented in 1080p High Definition OAR video with Dolby Digital-Plus 5.1 audio tracks. It will be released day-and-date with the DVD release (which I believe is a 2-disc set.)

Besides that, if you liked the film, then you can expect the HD DVD/DVD Combo release to be pretty packed with supplemental materials. The list includes:

- Deleted Scenes (20 minutes worth) with Optional Audio Commentary by Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright
- Outtakes
- Visual FX Comparison Before & After
- 12 Video Blogs including The Lost Blog
- We Made Hot Fuzz
- Dead Right Special with 2 optional audio commentaries by Edgar Wright, and Nick Frost & Simon Pegg respectively
- Art Department
- Here Comes the Fuzz
- Simon Muggs
- Flip Chart
- Flick Book: The Other Side
- Plotholes
- Domestic & International Trailers and TV spots

We've been told by informal sources (take it with a pinch of salt) to expect U-Control interactive experience feature on the disc, though I'm unable to seek official confirmation on that as yet.

Sounds like a great set for Hot Fuzz.

Was Darkman previously confirmed to have TrueHD? I don't remember seeing it mentioned before, but good news.

an insert included in the Matrix set:

Should be a lock. Are there any recent day/date Universal releases that haven't had U-Control? I think Hollywoodland is it for this year.

I think that's the only one. They even gave U-Control features on Alpha Dog and The Hitcher.

Let's hope that Warner sticks with that October 2007 timeframe and this doesn't become another Goblet/Shawshank situation.

'300' Coming to HD DVD and Blu-ray on July 31
May 15, 2007
Warner Home Video has announced '300' will be released simultaneously on Combo Format HD DVD and 50-GB Blu-ray Disc on July 31, in line with our July target window published two weeks ago.

Both versions will be presented in widescreen 2.4:1 1080p and Dolby TrueHD audio. In lieu of the ongoing issues stabilizing BD-J interactivity on Blu-ray Disc, Warner has opted to not hold back on the HDVD and include "...over 90 minutes of thrilling extras. Watch the entire film with Blue Screen Picture-in-Picture (PIP) functionality and special commentary by Zack Snyder. Also includes an exclusive HD strategy game Vengeance & Valor," while the Blu-ray Disc will include,"...90 minutes of thrilling extras including featurettes on the battle scenes, special effects, and characters" as well as a feature-length commentary with Director Zack Snyder, Writer Kurt Johnstad and Director of Photography Larry Fong in lieu of the PIP functionality found on the HD DVD.

'300' on Combo Format HD DVD will carry an SRP of $39.99, while the Blu-ray Disc will come in at $34.99.

Universal's site lists it at $79.98.

Nice looking specs for Heroes.

I'm glad 300 isn't a TotalHD disc. But it does suck, again, that Warners does not give a PCM track for the BD.
