Entertaining enough, but my love for Sly Stallone punching women in the face means the original is still alot better. The PQ is, well, it's Universal. You figure it out.

The original has everything you would want in a B movie. Need to rent the remake at some point, but I'm betting it is missing the massage scene.

Vanishing Point

Not the greatest transfer (especially with lots of EE right off the bat) but still the best the movie has ever looked. Plus, the soundtrack was really good also.

Last night, I started watching Cool Hand Luke, a film I'd never gotten around to seeing.

I'd never really watched a film that old on BR (In all my two weeks since going Blu) and I was impressed with the PQ. Audio was just Full Mono, which was disappointing, but probably to be expected.

Pelican Brief - always liked the movie but at 2:20 tended to drag toward the end. The PQ was good for an older film but not reference quality. AQ was superb.

Men In Black - PQ and AQ was fantastic. Blew away my original DTS copy.

given the film was released two years before I was born, you make it out like it was made eons ago.

Sex Drive R rated version. Good PQ and AQ funny movie. I need to watch the unrated version

Best Bond film yet, great PQ although I noticed quite a few hairs and fingerprints.

Silence of the Lambs.

This is a film that definitely needs a new master created. However, this BD looks pretty good. There's definitely better detail compared to the 2-disc dvd edition. I didn't think it looked too smooth. Hopefully we'll get a re-release for the film's 20th anniversary in 2011.

Checked out the unrated version of Sex Drive last night. Unlike the usual unrated version that have a few more off-color jokes and some lingering skin shots, this was really more of the producers being goofy. Naked women randomly walking through the shot, breaking the 4th wall, close-ups of naked male running and flopping around. I don't mind the extra boobage but it wasn't one of the better extended versions. They changed dialogue to be more explicit but didn't change the screen so the words and lips didn't match. That and no naked Amanda Crew.

This is one that will stay a rental for me.

Reason enough for me not to bother with it.

Full Metal Jacket OK PQ and AQ but not great. Should have picked up the HD on the cheap instead

Ghost Town. Pretty good movie and fairly amusing, excellent PQ that included some nice shots of NYC scenery.

Men in Black. Pretty good PQ/AQ. I enjoyed it this time, though not as much as I remember enjoying it in the past. It's still a cute and fun diversion but I haven't decided if I want to keep it or not.

JimRochester 03-07-09 10:53 PM

The Mummy - Excellent PQ and AQ. A reference quality disc for the HD format.

I just watched CJ7, the most recent Stephen Chow film, and WOW... I really didn't expect to love it so much. It was a great film all around. It's right up there for me with Shaolin Soccer and Kung Fu Hustle now. I would suggest to anyone that likes Stephen Chow to watch this movie. It's got great humor, action, drama, and the story itself is wonderful. I'm just amazed it took me so long to see it. And this film has never really gone on sale -- ever. That's the main reason for my delay. But I snagged a copy for $16 shipped on Half.com. That's the lowest I've ever seen it sell for. Since I wasn't able to see it in the theater that seems like a major bargain. In reflection, though, this would have been a steal at $30.

This film is worth every penny. And for those curious, the picture quality/audio quality was phenomenal.

^ Yeah, I didn't expect to like it either. It was pretty fucked up for a "kids" movie, too.

Friday Night Lights

PQ was very solid and AQ knocked a few pictures off my wall.

Made time for a couple films this weekend.

First, I finally got around to watching The Dark Knight on BluRay... just wow, and it was even better the second time through.

Also watched Lakeview Terrace. Not a bad little movie, with good PQ, and decent AQ.

Hairspray Picked it up at CC for 60% off. It was actually a fun little movie. Good PQ and AQ, what you expect from a recent film. James Marsden is getting around.

Mummy Returns

Terrific PQ, above average film. The last fight is :jawdrop: though.

Appaloosa (BD) - Awesome PQ/AQ*

*Couldn't play at first on my Sony BD-S350. After network update, it played fine up until 1:16:35 and froze...wouldn't play again until 1:32:25. Anyone else experienced the same problem? First time I encounter any problem during playback.

I watched Nim's Island, The Spider-Wick Chronicles, and started Sukiyaki Western Django. I enjoyed the first a bit because of the performances even though the movie went absolutely nowhere and has no replay value, the second was entertaining but not necessarily worth keeping, and the third was disappointing. At the half-way point I just took it off since I was tired and not enjoying it much.

Started watching Battlestar Galactica Season 1 now that I finally scored a non scratched to hell copy on HD DVD.

We Own the Night. A good, solid film. The performance by Joaquin Phoenix was great. I really hope his recent stunts are just that... stunts.

I just finished watching Meet the Robinsons. It was a lot better than I expected it to be. It wasn't perfect, but after seeing this and Bolt (in the theater) Disney has restored a bit of faith in me as a Studio (without the support of Pixar Studios itself). This was a solid and highly enjoyable family film with a good story and some interesting time travel scenarios.

Let The Right One In. Wow, that movie lived up to its hype. Ill be picking this movie up soon.
