Twilight...
Video = Good
Audio = OK
Movie = Mediocre...at best
I borrowed this from my brother and his wife...I read the book to see what the hype was all about. I didn't like the book much and I think I liked the movie less. Glad I checked them out though...now I don't have to wonder if I'm missing out...

Corlaine- Saw it in theaters once, this is the second time i've watched it on Blu Ray. The movie is great, and the pq is reference quality.

Meet The Robinsons
Probably my 5th or 6th time watching it and the film is still enjoyable. Lots of laughs.

Mad Men: Season 2: Discs 1 and 2 Excellent show. Excellent PQ. My third disc is defective, so I must wait until I get a replacement to finish the season.

The Last House on the Left (2009)
The movie looked and sounded amazing. So far I have liked both of the remakes of Craven's movies better than the originals! (The Hills Have Eyes)

The archival footage was largely crap but the docu-shot stuff was great. Audio was decent.

Timecop Had the VHS, the crappy FF SD and then the LD. I also bought the HD-DVD for full pop about a month before the format went belly up and the prices plummeted. It's a good thing I like this movie because I have a lot invested in it. This is why I now rent most of my movies instead of buy.
By the way, cool movie in spite of the swiss cheese plot holes. Plus some Mia Sara boobage is nice too.

The Ninth Gate
Makes me miss Johnny Depp giving reserved low-key performances. I find them so much more enjoyable than all this campy crap he's been turning out the past few years. I always have enjoyed this movie, I would watch an entire franchise about an occult book detective. PQ is nothing special nor is the sound, but the movie has never looked better.

Play Time - I hadn't seen this one before, though I'd enjoyed "M. Hulot's Holiday". While the film looked very nice for its age, the film really tried my patience.

Lost: Season One
Lost: Season Two
My first time ever seeing the show through, but I'm loving everything about it so far, and the picture is amazing. I'm glad I waited for these on BD before I ever decided to watch them.
On the second disc of Season Three right now, hoping to wrap the available series up soon. Then I have to wait until December for Season Five.
Also Watched The Devil's Rejects last night, still love this movie.

You lucky bugger - experiencing Lost in a mega marathon form. Of course I loved watching it from day one and the aspect of discussion/analysis that came with that. I've been enjoying it for five years now. That's a mind trip in itself. Want to hear something funny though? I watched Seasons 1 and 2 on a 10" TV/VCR Combo with semi-crappy OTA (I didn't have cable) quality so it was below even the best standards possible for that TV set and I still loved every minute of it. Then for S3 I upgraded to a 27" regular TV (still no cable). S4 I experienced it on a 27" HDTV with OTA High Definition. I thought that was bliss. Then I got a 50" Plasma HDTV and experienced S5 OTA High Definition with varying satisfaction (PQ wise).... but watching it on Blu-ray, all the seasons, it has been one of the greatest experiences I have ever had the pleasure of having for any film or TV series. The main reason I wanted Blu-ray more than HD DVD in the first place (and wanted to upgrade to High Definition at all) was to experience Lost the way it deserved to be seen - as if I was experiencing it in an actual theater as opposed to it being just any ordinary TV series. Lost on Blu-ray was worth the wait.
Coincidentally, I experienced Season 1 and 2 of BSG on that 10" TV/VCR Combo as well (through my old PS2 DVD player) and now have the complete series Blu-ray set heading my way from Deep Discount.
I love Blu-ray. Making the decision to upgrade the way I did was one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life.

True Blood Disc 1- Not too bad, the show looks good and sounded good. As far as story is concerned it's too early to tell as there is only 2 episodes on the disc. Not bad but didn't really hook me yet.

I had seen small pieces of Lost in high def on TV but forced myself not to watch because I didn't want the show to be spoiled for me. I figured since season three was out, it would just be a matter of time before they released them all because it seemed to be THE show to watch in high def, for many reasons. I'm sure Lost will become one of my favorites, just as BSG did...which I just recieved the complete series a couple of hours ago from DVDplanet...I have A LOT of watching to do. Not to mention the 27 BD's I have coming from WB...
I would have never bought any HD DVD's (I bought in right when it was going out because I wanted cheap HD content for my 32" LCD) if I knew BD's could be bought on sale so often. Either way, I love my BD's, bought my 50" Plasma for that very reason.
