Night at the Museum. Fun family movie. Disc was scratched up though from Netflix and my LG wouldn't even read the disc. Thankfully the PS3 could handle it.

Disc one was great, really looking forward to the rest of the series.

It is such a powerful series I'm willing to bet you'll break your habit of not rewatching things you've seen and check this out repeatedly. For those that are interested in WWII it's a must own.

Yeah, I've already re-watched a few scenes, and I plan to watch it again with commentary (ies) if it has those.

Not only is the series extremely well done in all aspects so far, but my Dad was in the war and at Normandy, so the topic is near and dear to me.

Fireproof It's a Kirk Cameron Christian story recommended to me by a friend. HE said it would strengthen a marriage, it was really just 90 minutes of misery, I have that at home I don't want to watch it too.

Ponyo
What a beautiful film! The story, along with the animation and sound are breathtaking.

I'm excited for this too, but I don't watch television until it comes out on DVD (except comedies, and very occasional exceptions). I just find that television series with dramatic arcs are much better when watched as a season over the course of a week or three.

The Ladykillers - PQ quality was weird. Very crisp image but it looked torched, extremely bright and saturated. Great movie though.

Just finished watching Ponyo. Beautiful movie, gorgeous music, and lovely artwork. Now I need to track down a BD release with a lossless Japanese language track and English or Spanish subtitles.

Just finished Jerry Maguire. What I want to know is why two people were credited for Cuba Gooding, Jr.'s makeup. Really? Two people for him? Was it that hard to smear a streak of under-eye makeup for a few football scenes?

I just watched The Arrival, and it was as good as I remembered (I haven't seen it since it came out in '96). The Blu Ray is pretty good, considering that it's a 14 year old low budget movie. Hell, I don't think the movie looked nearly this good in the theater! ;)

And for $8 at WalMart that was a pretty darned good buy.

<b>Ip Man</b>
<b>Final Destination(3D)</b>

Ip Man is a masterpiece. One of the best martial arts films I have seen in a long time and Donnie Yen is simply incredible!

Final Destination on the other hand was on the lame side. Admittedly, this series is a guilty pleasure and it appears that they are finally running out of gas. The 3D gave me a headache 5 minutes in so I switched to the 2D version for the remainder of the film. I'd like to say it was entertaining but, it really wasn't.

The Invasion - Started off good, but quickly devolved into an inane "thriller" (I'm using that term loosely) with some terrible writing, action and just about everything else. Too bad because there was some good potential there. PQ was so-so, AQ fared a bit better. I borrowed it from a friend, doubt I'd ever buy it for myself.

Princess Bride. Still enjoy that movie and good price ($12.99) at Costco.

the less expensive Hong Kong bluray (compared to the Japanese BR) has english subs and the original Japanese language track in 6.1 DTS HD MA sound.

yesterday (Monday):
Beowulf
Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas (down converting the 7.1 soundmix to 6.1 was VERY very impressive)

500 Days of Summer

It was such a great movie. I love quirky, unconventional romantic comedies so it's hard to believe that this one slipped under my radar for so long. 9/10.

WALL-E, which we just bought. I really responded emotionally to Up, but I think this is still Pixar's finest achievement to date. It was spectacular in Hi-Def.

Planet 51 - Dumb, but kinda fun/cool animated kids flick, normally not my bag. PQ was flawless, AQ was equally solid. Fans of 50's sci-fi flicks would get a kick out of it.

Definitely one of the best shows to ever be prematurely cancelled. I love my BR set. Although I do admit I never knew about the show while it was on the air. When i first saw Serenity I didn't know it was based on, or taken from a TV show.

Thanks. I'll be sure to track that down.

Up In The Air Saw this in the theater. Great movie looks and sounds like it should for a contemporary movie.
