Young Frankenstein. I've already watched it three times. I just love the job Fox did with the transfer. I love that they left in the grain and didn't try to ruin the transfer with DNR. It shows how important HD video is because the previous DVD version had much of the grain, but lost a lot of the detail. This transfer has great detail and black level while also staying true to the grainy and dark 1930s Universal horror look they were going for.

As good as all the CGI stuff looks in HD it has been black & white movies like this, Casablanca and Good Night and Good Luck that have been my favorites. I just wish we could get those classic Universal horror originals in HD.

No Country for Old Men

This takes me back to the HD DVD days, since it takes about 90 seconds to see the two loading screens sandwiching the five trailers you have to skip past. By that time, my HD A1 might've booted up. ;)

Finally got around to watching Forgetting Sarah Marshall....I'm out of work temporarily on disability so I've probably watched more movies in the last ten days then I have in the past six months.

Watched Casino Royal (the 1-disc movie) as a prelude to the new bond flick (I refuse the utter that silly name they gave it) on Sunday. Nice, I still like watching this one. The new film is enjoyable as well. Not sure why critics are panning it -- unless it is because it's similar to Casino. And, yes, it's similiar... as much as any other Bond film is similar. Chases, explosions, one action set piece leads to one line of dialogue that leads you to the next action sequence, a few comical quips, babes in distress...

Ratatouille. I watch this 2-3 times a month. A nice way to show off BD, PS3, and the 50" plasma.

Last thing I watched was the Last disc of Planet Earth on HD

JimRochester 11-18-08 02:04 PM

Mission: Impossible III (HD DVD)

Makes me wonder why HD DVD went away. Still boggles my mind.

Terrific film. Looks more beautiful than ever. Didn't know it was that grainy. Now, I'd trade my girlfriend for Labyrinth or Dark Crystal, straight up.

tiger_qc 11-22-08 10:35 PM

Yep. There are some excellent transfers on HD DVD. Which is why I have a shitload of them. :)

Hancock

I happen to like the flick, it isn't great or anything, but still entertaining. Looked pretty good. Sounded pretty good. Didn't get to watch any of the extras. BD-Live is, again, useless. I don't even know why Sony tries..

Willh51 11-27-08 12:15 AM

Hancock

Video: 7/10 (some of this looked very good but there was some nasty black crush early on that was really noticeable)
Audio: 9/10

- the cover for this also bugs the hell out of me, were they even trying?

MichaelMeyers 11-27-08 05:58 AM

Watched Hancock last night and I had slightly lowered expectations after all the reviews but I found it enjoyable. I was disappointed that all the advertisements for the disc gave away some big plot points before i even saw the movie.

That piece of shit made me want to murder people.
