It's Monday and looking at the new releases for Tuesday... Any must have or must rents?
The only one I see for me would be King Kong but I already have the HD DVD version so I'll pass this week...

Promised the GF I'd rent The Notebook, which I've never seen, if it ever came out on Blu-ray (thinking it never would). Damn these back catalogue titles the studios keep pumping out. Better not tell her 13 Going on 30 is available in BD as well.

BTW, Domino is worth a rental if anyone hasn't seen it. Nice to see Kiera Knightly in clothes that aren't from the 18th-19th century!

I got stuck with that one this week. I kind of liked it, though

Better not tell her Brokeback Mountain is coming out on BD either.

Thanks for the warning.
I actually sat through Brokeback Mountain in the theater with another GF. My current one is a keeper: she's more interested in Max Payne than B.M.

Coming up...
Probably rent the Original Pink Panther & Groundhog Day...

 

[teachsac]

I've got Groundhog Day (a keeper for me) and Lakeview Terrace.

[dishy2007]

I'm a little late lol but I got myself Max Payne and the pink panther.

 

[JonUrban]

Groundhog Day for me too! "Ned, Ned Ryerson?"

Looking forward to a review of Groundhog Day; in terms of PQ and sound. Its one of those films I can watch over and over, but I am curious how it comes out in BD.

I'm going to pick it up. My current copy is on laserdisc, so it will be an improvement, no matter what.

Sorry, I can't recommend it.

The film was shot fairly soft focus, so although the transfer is reasonable, it really doesn't look much better than the DVD. I never noticed anything in video detail or quality that popped out. Colors are muted, although I think that is intentional.

It advertises TrueHD audio, and the dialog is clear. However, the only action from the rear speakers is during the crowd scenes at the ceremony and at the party at the end. 90% is center channel only. Ambient is not generally expanded beyond the center channel. Music usually goes to a stereo mix and sounds good, but there really isn't that much background music in this film.

The supplements are presented in glorious SD stretchovision.

If you already have the 15th anniversary DVD, I don't think you will see any new value added here. If you don't have the anniversary edition, the supplements may be worth something, but wait for it to be on sale for $12.

Probably pass on todays releases, might go for a Rental on Madagascar2 this weekend...

On my way to Blockbuster after work in hopes of snagging this one: Zack and Miri Make a Porno

From what I've heard, it's supposed to be hysterical.

That would be my only probable for today... I would go for the Friday the 13th, but watched it last month from HDNet and Taxi Driver not that long ago also...
