Last night: Planet of the Apes on BD. Very impressed with the transfer, and have always loved the movie. A treat from start to finish.

well it does have a similiar story structure of 'Jaws' if you think about it. How was the sound? The sound on my DTS laserdisc is just ear assaulting.

Just watched Stargate last night. Overall it looked awesome but there were a few dark shots that looked grainy. I think it was probably always like that but you just couldn't tell as much with old tube tvs. Little flaws stand out a lot more on my new plasma :)

But it was definitely worth $10 :) sound was great, video crisp & clear for the most part.

Batman Begins & Dark Knight both arrived with it, might do a double feature this weekend :)

Watched Ghostbusters today. Too much grainy. Didn't watched thoroughly.

Lost: Season One - Pilot (Part 1). It looked and sounded amazing. Definitely worth the upgrade. Absolutely. And as for the show itself, well, it's my favorite ever. I can't wait to dig into this set.

Tango and Cash sound was missing a little punch but the picture was fantastic.

Mad Men Season 1 - Great picture, fantastic show. It was a blind buy, and it is already one of my favorite first seasons in television history.

You mean "Dante's Peak?" Sound was fine not offensively bad but nothing special, as I recall.

Last night: Shooter on HD-DVD. Must say these $4 discs are getting me into some movies I completely missed when they were released. This was a pleasant surprise, given that we had no expectations whatsoever. Fun, if politically confused and loosely plotted action movie with a very good video transfer and good sound. I live near and work in Philadelphia, so the extensive on-location scenes were particularly fun.

Does anybody have UltraViolet? If so, how is the movie? I heard the picture quality is gorgerous...

:wtf:

I just watched 27 Dresses. It was better than I expected it to be. I might actually keep this one. Sure... it's predictable. But it was a sweet movie and it was generally well made. I certainly enjoyed it.

Oh, and Kill Bill V. 2 is a masterpiece. :)

Australia. Bit on the long side but OK. Not great, just OK.

Always liked Shooter and have the HD-DVD as well. It's like a bigger budget version of Most Wanted

For me Paul Blart Mall Cop Saw this in the theater with my daughter. Glad we got in with free passes because not one I would pay for. This was a Blockbuster rental so it was a fun movie to watch again but not a keeper.

The Omen. Freakin' creepy film (I am of course referring to the original). Not great, but not bad either. I'm not sure if it's worth owning, but I'm glad I finally saw it.

Just watched Canadian flick ONE WEEK on blu-ray. The movie was pretty damn good, the disc looked OK... but I was surprised at how much I liked it.

Ghostbusters. Not the greatest transfer, but the movie kicks ass, so I'm still glad I picked it up.

Since it is not the greatest transfer, I am glad I only paid $10 dollars for it, I wouldn't even pay $20 for a average transfer movie but how is the sound?

Star Trek 4 Voyage Home A nice upgrade from my old DVD especially the sound however not a real stellar presentation. In a few of the dark scenes it looked fuzzy at the edges. That and I didn't remember all the cheesy lines.

Futurama: Bender's Game on BD from Netflix. Looked and sounded terrific. Some funny bits. Favorite LOL moment: the attack of the "m'orcs."

Star Trek 3. Slowly making my way through the set.

I guess I set my expectations low because I enjoyed this one alot. I really had a good time. Sure it felt like the death scenes were too quick, and Jason moved extremely quickly but overall I was quite impressed. I can see myself watching this one again quite soon.

Taken

I missed this in theaters and netflixed it. Liam Neeson was such a badass here. Again, no wasted scenes, seemed to fly by. I really enjoyed this as well. I have always been a fan of anything Besson has been associated with and this added to my belief that he knows how to involve himself with entertaining projects. What I liked best was things were simple yet very exciting.

All around two very quality, fun, and exciting films.
