I'll be grabbing Monty Python, Sneakers, Being John Malkovich, and maybe Mallrats.

Yes my purchase of Mallrats depends on which version and the extras included.

But Meet Joe Black is mine, oh yes, it will be mine.

Me too...Im hoping WB and Paramount step up to the plate with a good lineup of hd-dvd/bd titles for late spring - early summer.

I hate to admit it, but I used the beginning of Daylight for many years as one of my main home theater demo sequences, the sound mix on that movie is fantastic. I'm looking forward to the HD-DVD version.

Being John Malkovich is another great choice by Universal.

All of them on June 12 and three on June 26.

I'll probably pick up Born on the Fourth of July. Maybe Bruce Almightly and Daylight. Other than that, there's nothing in those releases that really interests me.

I'm not too picky so of those 12 titles, I'll eventually pick up 9 of them...

I'll skip American Me, Watcher (Who's the brains in Universal marketing department that thought relasing that title was a good idea, do they think HD DVD buyers are THAT desperate?) and Meet Joe Black.

That being said, I'm not the normal consumer and most of those will not rock the marketplace, statistically.

Ghost Rider on Blu-Ray, scheduled for June 12
 

According to Mao in the dvd forum, Ghost Rider will be annouced by Sony on April 9 for a release date of June 12. The BD version will have the 127 minute extended cut. I didn't see the film theatrically, but it should look awesome in 1080p and have a kick ass PCM track.

I didn't really like the theatrical cut, but it felt like a ton was missing in terms of backstory and progression (especially Sam Elliott's part). I'll netflix the extended cut, it worked well for Johnson's DareDevil, so maybe it can help out again. It should look fantastic though, lots of cool scenery and contrast to show off.

Universal just yanked "The Hurricane" from its May schedule. No word yet on whether it's going to be released at a later date or not.

The movie was fairly cheesy but the sound in the theatre was pretty awesome! I'll rent it first before buying.

I will probably pick this up.

Definitely getting this. I liked it a lot.

Some new Blu-Ray announcements and DVDEmpire adds:

Blood & Chocolate 5/29
Catch and Release 5/8
Curse of The Golden Flower 5/29
Stomp The Yard 5/15 (PCM and TrueHD tracks)

Edit: Curse of the Golden Flower has been officially announced for 5/29

I'll be picking this up. I rarely go to the theater anymore, so I'll just wait for these new releases with their short windows.

Hmmm, can anime be the deciding factor in the format wars?

No.

Agree with the no but that won't stop me from buying anime on HD DVD. Can't wait for Cowboy Bebop!

Just noticed it will be a twin disc also so no flipping involved, awesome!

Meh, meh, maybe and meh. ;)

Paramount Annouces Four New Blu-ray And HD DVD Catalog Titles

March 20, 2007

Paramount Home Entertainment has announced four catalog titles that will be released simultaneously on Blu-ray and HD DVD this summer.

'Freedom Writers' starring Scott Glenn and Hilary Swank will be available May 22, 'Hustle & Flow' on June 26, and 'The Untouchables (Special Collector's Edition)' and 'The Warriors (Ultimate Director's Cut)' on July 3. Specifics for each release are not yet available though you can safely assume extras found on the standard DVDs will all be ported over.

Check back in the days and weeks ahead for pre-order information and high resolution cover art.

The Untouchables is a definate buy for me....none of the others are.

Just The Warriors for me. I'm waiting for the Black Snake Moan announcement.

Warriors and Untouchables for me.

Damn! I just bought The Warriors two days ago on SD! I don't know if I'll double-dip for The Untouchables. I might wait for reviews.
