Not a Fugasy!

I bought this movie when it went on sale without having seen it before and I can say I was pleasantly surprised. If you were a fan of Goodfella's then you will certainly be a fan of this one. The Blu-ray has a near reference quality transfer for picture and sound. The only drawback is that it is missing some of the special features that can be found on the standard def. releases, such as the audio commentary.
What's great about it: Great movie with excellent Picture and Audio quality
What's not so great: Missing some special features from the DVD
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great for fans of the film

If you were a fan of the movie then this may be a great buy for you. The video and audio are simply stunning. However, the lack of special features that can be found on the previous DVD releases makes it seem like a half-hearted-attempt or an obvious ploy for a double dip for fans in future.
What's great about it: Great Transfer
What's not so great: Lacking in supplements

An instant Classic
on October 16, 2008

This movie is a great remake of Halicki's original vision from 1974. Halicki wanted to have the longest and best car chase to ever be put to film and this movie sticks with that vision by having a great climactic chase with a Shelby mustang. Lets not forget that Angelina Jolie is extremely hot in this movie as well. The only thing preventing this from getting a 5 star revue is it's lack of special features which have already been released on the two earlier versions of the DVD. Why should Blu-ray be any different?

The Matrix hits Blu-ray
on October 16, 2008
Posted by: Leftoverchinese
from Orlando
This box set includes all 3 movies, the Animatrix for the first time in high definition, and more bonus materials than anyone really ever needs. The video in this set is nothing shy of reference material, as is the video. If you wanted a demo disc to show your friends why they need to get a blu-ray player, look no further! My only problem with this set is that Warner has decided to release it with non-standard cases leaving it sticking out like a sore thumb on your shelf.
What's great about it: Animatrix for the first time in High Def
What's not so great: Creative Packaging as opposed to standard cases.

The years best movie
on October 15, 2008
Posted by: Leftoverchinese
from Orlando
This movie was easily one of the best of the year and how it made it without winning an award is beyond me. Along with Open Range, this is one of the few movies that Costner has done in recent memory that is actually a rather good movie. My only problem with this Blu-ray is it's lack of special features. It contains a subtitle trivia track and that is it. However, the movie is good enough to warrant a purchase.
What's great about it: Great movie with
What's not so great: lacking in special features

The Punisher makes it to blu-ray
on October 14, 2008
Posted by: Leftoverchinese
from Orlando
This is another Blu-ray to come out without much to offer besides the movie. If you were a fan of the movie and can't wait for there to be a re-release than this is the one for you. This movie adaptation is much better than the Dolph Lundgren version in the 80's. It is based off the 'welcome back frank' series of comics and tries hard to be nitty and gritty like the comic. The hero is seen sulking and drinking thoughout the movie and appears to have little self-respect or ambition for anything other than vengeance.
What's great about it: Nice Transfer and and Soundtrack
What's not so great: Not a single special feature
I would recommend this to a friend!

T2 in high def

Posted by: Leftoverchinese

Having Terminator 2 in High Definition is really the only reason to buy this disc. It is easily affordable for anyone looking to add a title to their blu-ray library. The problem is that this disc is missing all of the extras that were found on the previous DVD releases of the film and doesn't have either of the other versions of the film which were even available on VHS. You can't go wrong for the price, though, but you get what you pay for with this one which is not much.
What's great about it: Great Picture and Audio quality
What's not so great: Lacking in extras and contains theatrical release only

Paul Neaman returns to a role that made him famous in director Martin Scorsese's The Color of Money. Sadly, this 1.85:1 widescreen transfer is presented non-anamorphic, and as such suffers from a lack of true definition and crispness. While the colors are all fairly solid and bright, overall it's a disappointment to see an Oscar winning film given such shoddy treatment by Buena Vista. The soundtrack is presented in Dolby Digital 4.1 in English and French and plays above average. While the directional effects are kept to a minimum, this is still an apt mix that includes nary an once of hiss or distortion in the dialogue, music or effects. The extra features on this disc are floating at the bottom of the barrel -- all that's included are some paltry recommendation from the distributor.

A must have for any Pink Floyd Fan
on October 14, 2008
Posted by: Leftoverchinese

David Gilmour delivers a simply stellar performance in this Blu-ray as did David Bowie who stepped in for a few numbers. I swear his voice hasn't aged a day. This is, without a doubt, a must have for any fan of Pink Floyd. The only thing that I can say negatively about it is that it has been packaged in a cardboard package as opposed to the standard blue plastic package. The price may also shy away some potential customers. I think I payed $35 + tax for it. I can tell you it was easily worth it.
What's great about it: Extremely enjoyable to watch!
What's not so great: Pricey and it comes in a paper case
I would recommend this to a friend!

28 Days Later Blu-ray a bomb...
on May 15, 2008
Posted by: Leftoverchinese
from Orlando
The HighDefDigest review of this release is 100% accurate, unfortunately. This Blu-ray is down right terrible as far as picture quality is concerned with the exception of the final scene which was apparently shot with a better camera than the rest of the film.
Supposedly the director was going for some sort of look when he decided to film the entire movie with a European model Canon XL-1s standard-definition camcorder at 720x576 resolution. So the transfer is barely, if at all, better than the DVD so best not to waste your money on this one if you already own the DVD as I did. I figured it would be even a little step up and it just looks like garbage by comparison to the other blu-rays. Supposedly the audio is much better, but I don't have a sound system to check that out for myself.
I recommend a pass on this title for Blu-ray
What's great about it: Great movie and the audio is a step up from the DVD supposedly
What's not so great: Not worth upgrading from DVD as PQ is terrible
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Are PS2 games compatible with PS3 console?

I want to know if PS3 will play my PS2 games before I go ahead and purchase it.
There are no longer any PS3's being produced that will play PS2 games. The 80 gigs used to, and now they don't. I think the last ones that did were the Metal Gear solid limited editions. The 60 gig PS3's also had backward compatibility. However, it was encoded with hardware as opposed to the software that the 80 gig uses and therefore had different problems with different games, as does the 80. The 60 is generally thought of as more compatible with older games than the 80. You can find lists of games that wont work with either system, but they are few and far between. As of right now, you cannot buy a new PS3 of any size that has the ability to play PS2 games unless you buy a used one.
