Love And Other Drugs Once again it seemed like another Friends With benefits theme. Two people not really into relationships just looking for sex until it turns to something more. Plenty o' hathaway skin

Next Always felt this was an OK movie but thought it would make a really cool sci-fi TV series.

Actually found it pretty good. Colors and contrast just popped out on this BD. Sound wasn't shabby either.

When In Rome One of my $4 BBPV bargains. The wife would rather watch a crappy rom-com than a good actioner so this obviously meets the criteria

Something Wild
I hadn't seen it in ten years or so. Turned out to be much better on a second viewing. Ray Liotta is so creepy and psychotic in this film.

Vanishing On 7th Street - I expected more from Anderson. I thought his position of us knowing no more than the characters was grounded in reality, but knowing so little didn't make it any more intriguing. It also wasn't scary, and I didn't like the heavily processed image.

The Long Riders - Fabulous Western from Walter Hill. I loved the casting, the story and - most especially - the Peckinpah-style shootouts.

Ponyo - I bought this mainly for my gf to watch, but ended up digging the animation.

Death Note Part 1 I liked this one better of the two films. Storyline was much more coherent. The guy from Iron Chef (Chairman Kaga) was in this film and quite good.

Death Note Part 2 This one was a bit too overplotted. They could have trimmed some of the stuff in the first half of the film. This wasn't a horrible film. I just don't think it was as interesting. The L vs Light psychological battle was very good. I just didn't care for some of the other stuff.

Still both films were well worth the cheap price that I payed on Amazon.

Tangled. Still brought some laughs the second time around.

Scott ...do you have an opinion about the overall quality of the presentation? This is my favorite comedy but I'm still on the fence about upgrading this to Blu.

Little Fockers Everything you heard was true. It has a couple humorous moments but this franchise is tired and worn

Aliens
Apocalypse Now

Haven't seen either of these in 10 years, so to revisit them again in HD was amazing.
