Green Lantern: First Flight.


i really enjoyed it.

In brightest day, in blackest night,
No evil shall escape my sight
Let those who worship evil's might,
Beware my power... Green Lantern's light!

Indy 4. Great AQ/PQ. I did like the film more than when I saw it in the theater. Can't wait for the OT.

Repulsion - Good film, great disc. I'm not sure if I'll feel the need to revisit it though. This might not be a keeper for me (though I suspect many will find this a treasure).

Michael Clayton. Good film. Adequate PQ.

About 35 minutes of Accepted. I had to take it off... it was so bad.

Yeah but for $3 for an HD it was still a good deal.

I spent more than that for this one. Luckily, a lot of my blind buy HD DVD's were $3 to $4 though.

Just finished Seed of Chucky. It was better than I expected. I actually had some fun with it. I doubt I'll keep this one though, but for $3 it wasn't a bad deal.

Just watched Donnie Darko and while I cannot attest to the quality of the video, I will say it was an excellent movie. We watched the Director's Cut and it was the first time we had watched it.

First time you had watched Donnie Darko: The Director's Cut, or the first time you watched Donnie Darko period? I'm just curious. I love the film, the theatrical cut that is, and own the Blu-ray but have yet to watch the Director's Cut (period) or either cut on Blu-ray.

First time ever and this was the Director's Cut on Blu Ray.

Waterworld. Both better and worse than I expected. That's a rare feeling. Overall, it was a bad film and a waste of time. Not a keeper - though it had some interesting ideas.

Started The Watcher. Got bored with it, and took it off. I'm not sure I'll finish it.

Then I watched Coming to America. This was much better than I expected it to be. I liked it more than Trading Places. The story was good, and the ending was sweet. I may keep this one.

17 Again - Decent movie. Nice picture/audio.

12 Rounds
- Surprisingly good, IMO. I may buy it somewhere down the line if I can find it for < $15. The AQ absolutely blew me away. The PQ wasn't too shabby either.

Sunshine Cleaning - Well-done dark comedy with some great performances and unexpected turns and conclusions.

I just watched Hannah Montana: The Movie.

The PQ is both good and bad. The good is that at times it shows incredible detail and looks razor sharp. You can distinguish minute patterns in clothing and practically count every blade of grass in the lovely wide shots or every strand of hair during close ups. The bad is that there are many instances where scenes were shot with very soft focus. For example, the whole sequence where Miley and Lilly are trying to get into the concert is a touch out of focus. Once the concert begins, everything is sharp and detailed. Also, it seems that different film stocks were used when shooting this movie so scenes will alternate from having a slight layer of grain to large amounts of grain. I'd be okay if this were on a scene for scene basis but it's actually on a shot for shot basis. So you'll have scenes arbitrarily jumping from slightly grainy to very grainy with nor rhyme or reason. It's not really a flaw but somewhat distracting. Also, there's sporadic use of DNR and instances of slight EE that creep up here and there.

The negatives by no means ruin the movie but it keeps it from being reference. But there is a lot to love with the transfer.

The audio on the other hand... Wow! The surrounds are constantly active. The concert sequences of course sound phenomenal but even quiter scenes get a nice workout. The score also envelopes you whenever it is heard. Dialogue is clean and clear and never drowned out by the music. The LFE packs a nice kick during the concerts and even awakes the subwoofer when the score is playing.
