What DVD have you just watched?

This just arrived from HMV @ £9.99 delivered, hoping to watch it this weekend.

Recently watched:

Watchmen - hmmm, I think I really liked this. Very well shot, very dramatic, quite dark. Malin Ackerman is gorgeous.

Knowing - heh, fairly good, fairly predictable.

Franklyn - I enjoyed this. Off the wall, sci-fi, mystery, weird what the heck is going on for the 1st half of the movie. Well shot, some interesting ideas, worth seeing once.

We watched this last night -


Simply stunning picture and sound quality.

If you want to see what BluRay can really do, this is the disc to see.

Awesome!

Can you say anything about its sound quality, particularly how it's encoded?

Dear Frank,

Sound options are 5.1 dts-HD Master Audio & 2-channel Dolby Digital.

The sound quality on my original Gladiator DVD was pretty exceptional - encoded in dts-ES, but the BluRay's a whole different kettle of fish.

I'm using the Oppo BluRay player to do the decoding & feeding the 7.1 analogue inputs on my AV2.

In the Loop - Brilliant

Geoff,

B

do you need a reason?

How the West Was Won looks and sounds stunning on Blu-ray. Despite the age of the film (1963), it looks like it was made yesterday, and puts to shame some of todays HD discs. The restoration including cleaning up the 'joins' in the 3 part image is superb. Strongly recommended as it is unlikely to get any better than this.

Thanks much Tony!

Haim, how did you find "The Visitor"? I was slightly underwhelmed by the film despite some great acting.

We watched Angels And Demons on BluRay last night.

Nothing like the book of course and despite all the slagging off the film's had we thought it was pretty good.

The way they managed to recreate scenes around the Vatican without actually being allowed to film there were very impressive, plus the quality of the picture and sound was exceptional.

Not a DVD ,but went to see District9 last night ,not as good as I thought it would be, judging by the positive reviews I had read in several papers.

Didn't know it was out on disc. I'll order my copy ASAP Thanks Tony!

Buena Vista Social Club, wonderful DVD I'd certainly buy in a bargain bin.

Same here, Maher, disappointed.
A good movie I may recommend though I am not sure that you can get in SA (it is an Israeli film):
