If the packaging are fully sealed unbreakable, that sort of behavior can be avoided..


Massive price cut "Wonder Woman" USD12.99 , - USD 11.99 , good buy for DC comic fans..

As long as the case and movie not broken , that's a relief , otherwise would force us to refund or claim..

Good day lads,

Re: Coraline ,

I thinks the 3D version not worth watching as compared to 2D version. I watched it with the glasses on.

My first impression was good but when time goes with movie, i've dizzy and had to get painkiller ! :slap:

I guess you review on 2D version pretty solid and makes sense. But i dont recommend you to watch 3D , if for a sake of fun, you can go for it.

I've never enjoyed 3D movies on blu-ray especially The Final Destination..utter utter movie..!

Just watched finished watching Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. It came to my knowledge that this movie had a run of 750 weeks in India.

Back to blu-ray review, i must admit its definitely a must see in blu-ray format, credits to Yash Raj Films for keeping the quality of this 16 years of age title in store and authored it for HD view.

For god sake, the movie has 11-12 songs , mesmerizing , just have to watch for the colorful and gracefulness of the choreography.

Although the movie was a bit grainy, brightness & contrast settings made the movie much efficient on FULL HD LCD..

Probably i need to watch this over a FULL HD LCD. AQ is decent enough for a classic 1995 movie.

Overall , decent picture although grainy, decent audio 5.1 and this is a classic collection for SRK fans and blu-ray collectors.

Avatar Blu-ray Officially Announced

After weeks of speculation and rumors, Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment has officially announced Avatar on Blu-ray. As James Cameron himself revealed a month ago (see blu-ray.com, February 18), the release date has been set for Thursday, April 22 (Earth Day). In a first for a major theatrical release on Blu-ray, the studio will go Superbit on James Cameron's megablockbuster and release it without any special features of any sort, in order to maximize audio and video quality.

Avatar producer Jon Landau explained to the Los Angeles Times that they told Fox that "we wanted to do something really special and reach for the best presentation of any film in the history of the format." Landau adds, "Everything that is put on a disc takes up room – the menus, the extras, the trailers and studio promotions – and we got rid of all of that so we could give this movie the best picture and sound possible. Extra time and care have been devoted to this project, with the video compression sessions taking six weeks, as opposed to the usual two weeks for a typical theatrical release.

A multidisc "ultimate version" Blu-ray is planned for November. Details will be given during a press event in March 23, which will be attended by Landau and Cameron.

Regarding a 3D release, Fox sources again denied reports that it would come out later this year.

That's the catch init, those who gets this edition , will moan about any Ultimate editions , planned due to out in November (rumors obviously). According the article , this is to maximize the Picture & Sound quality. Probably DTS-HD MA would do the trick..

I saw one of our forumer posted the steelbook edition , consist of 6 disc or something..or 3 (just the movie)..

This is an example of the blu-ray cover with those age restriction code.



A "SteelBook Case" is similar in shape to the keep case, but its material is metal. The SteelBook case is patent and design protected and exclusively sold by the danish company Scanavo

You're welcome. By the way, it depends , certain blu-ray fans dont like nippled ones (those from UK) , most of the people prefer US version i pressume.

As long as you enjoy the High Def, those factors does not matter at all..

That includes Australia & NZ as well? I think have those tabbed nipple..so big in the front slip cover..

Of course they are not..partially Asia now..still dont understand why..anyway..


Anyone planning to get the Avatar Steelbook from HMV UK , Amazon UK?

Pyaar Impossible Blu-ray Review

After the 'very good' Blu-Ray of 'Rocket Singh', my expectations from this 'YRF Home Entertainment' BD was quite high. Although, I wouldn't say the same for the movie itself. What can I say, the typical, oh so pretty 'Yash Raj' fluff, has never been my idea of great cinema. This 'Pyaar Impossible' BD clearly shows, that the tremendous improvements, 'YRF HE' had shown with their 'Rocket Singh' BD, was not just a one off deal. For, this BD actually surpasses the 'Rocket Singh' BD, in both Audio & Video. Although, I wish I could say the same for the movie itself, but the movie is atleast better than the average Bollywood fare and thus this BD is overall a quite satisfying. In short, this is probably the best Blu-Ray disc, released so far by any 'Bollywood' video company. Take a bow 'YRF Home Entertainment'. Highly Recommended.

Review:
I am glad I had not seen the film earlier for I am sure I would never have had the inclination to view it again on Blu-Ray. As a matter of fact, the only reason I did watch the film, is my curiosity to see the quality of the BD itself. To be honest, I did not find the film bad at all. In fact, except for some typically bollywood cliches and unneccasary mushy scenes, the movie is a decent 'one time' watch. More than the film, I was surprised by the reasonably competent and underplayed performance by Uday Chopra, who for once actually seems quite apt for the role. Priyanka Chopra as always looks gorgeous and plays her part very well. She in my opinion has turned out to be one of the most complete actresses/stars in bollywood today. Overall the film is no 'Rocket Singh', but it is definately above the average fare put out by bollywood.

Similar to the 'Rocket Singh' BD, the audio is presented in two codecs. The redundant & space wasting lossy DD and a lossless 'DTS-HD MA' track. Commendably, the 'DTS-HD MA' track, is set as the default track, keeping in cue with what now seems to be standard for 'Yash Raj' BDs. Just as this Blu-ray improves upon the picture quality of the 'Rocket Singh' BD, it also takes the audio quality, a couple of notches higher. Ofcourse, having the usual bollywood song and dance, helps in providing the sound engineer with more opportunity to shine, specially when compared to the soundstage of 'Rocket Singh'. The audio is crisp and the sound cues quite active and well spread out, which enliven the surrroundings. Unfortunately the long standing "excessive bass from the sub-woofer channel" problem with 'YRF HE' BD/DVDs continues. This, in addition to the loud overall volume level, keeps this from being a perfect audio presentation. I am begining to believe that this is an inherint problem with the original audio mix of most bollywood movies. It is possible, that the sound engineers in bollywood, may be mixing and setting volume levels based on, what is the typical Indian attitude of catering to the 'lowest common denominator', which in this case would be the small time cinemas with poor quality audio systems. In any case, I hope 'YRF HE' will pay immediate attention to this issue, that is if they wish to have their BDs ranked with the best internationally.

An area which 'Yash Raj' has been consistently very good with, is in providing a very good set of special features. This is a tradition they have maintained with this release too. More importantly, keeping in line with the very healthy trend, the special features are presented on a separate DVD of their own. Also, the new professionalism shown by 'YRF Home Entertainment' in not having any Watermark Logos, during songs or otherwise, is maintained on this BD too. Once again 'kudos' to 'YRF HE' for listening to their customers and doing the right thing. The poor quality 'Yash Raj Films' logo during the opening menus is the only major irritant that still continues to plague the 'YRF HE' BDs. The sooner 'Yash Raj' addresses this, the better it will be for them. For, having their own logo presented in a totally artifact ridden, upsampled standard definition video can only be an embarassement to them and most certainly presents the company in very poor light.

Overall, I definately recommend this very highly for a rental atleast and if you are a fan of the standard Karan Johar/Yash Raj' brand of cinema, then this is a Must Own. I Highly Recommend this BD, for it's excellent audio/video quality and special features.

There is one issue I forgot to mention. The movie sort of froze / stuttered chapter 'three' at 00:07:50. But the problem did not repeat itself when I tried to recreate it by rewinding to that spot. But then the next day, the same problem happened at a different spot but in the same chapter 'three'. The problem occured while playing on the Oppo (did not try it with the PS3).

My ratings:
Movie: 3.50 out of 5.0
Video: 4.75 out of 5.0
Audio: 4.75 out of 5.0
Extras: 4.25 out of 5.0 (Special features in HD would have increased this score)
Overall: 4.5 out of 5.0 (Very Poor packaging keeps the score from being higher)
