Just received this 2 items this morning.
One was broken and one in a good condition. The supplier from India has no efficiency at all sending unsealed item. Screwed them to the core and demanded for a replacement within 5 working days. Ghajini & Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge

QUOTE(maskedchan @ Mar 3 2010, 02:07 PM) yeah..anti UK nipple.. Highly possible it's region-locked. but steelbox ma..if US got steelbox...so i grab US one... Anyway, initially retailers were told by the studio that they were not allowed to have "exclusive" versions of the movie (including steelbooks), which fueled speculation at the time that the studio may be releasing the 3D version which may have included 3D specs, hence requiring special packing. Now that the studio has put out that they're not planning to release a 3D version of Avatar at least until the technology matures, perhaps it's possible that the studio is giving retailers some leeway to releasing steelbook versions of Avatar. So far, only UK and Denmark versions have surfaced. So it's not inconceivable that eventually we may see a US-version steelbook as well. Well, I'm hoping so anyway. |

Just wondering, why is Amazon.co.uk selling their BD's more expensive than US?
example: District 9 Bluray (Amazon.com) : $19.99 which is RM 67.47 District 9 BLuray (Amazon.co.uk) : £13.93 which is RM 70.66 not much different, but still... that doesnt include shipping.. |

Its only through the traditional red/green glasses, so current 3D crops always have this red/green tint, which is quite dull actually, but then, its almost 50 years technology. The one Avatar employs is the different polarised ones, better results.Havent really seen the whole movie just try the 3D only. Speaking of which, Samsung will launch their 3D TVs in Malaysia next month, apparently it can convert videos into 3D, lets see what that'll do |

Some classic movies PQ / AQ not that impressive but people are actually love the story itself. If you are looking 4/5 - 5/5 star movies i would recommend,1. New York - PQ/AQ - 4/5 2. Wanted - PQ/AQ - 4.5/5 3. Om Shanti Om - PQ/AQ - 4.5/5 4. Ghajini - PQ/AQ - 4/5 5. Lage Raho Munna Bhai PQ 4.5 AQ 3.5 6. Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi - PQ: Great transfer , AQ: The DTS sound track has enough oomph to shake the room. New titles like 3 Idiots , My Name Is Khan , Lagaan , should they come out by April, great buy.. |

Rec'd this ystrday..
 Best Buys MJ's This Is It.. N de replica 'Back-stage pass' is kinda cool - its got a 3d efx image.. Contents besides tat is a 2 bd set.. BD1 for Main feature. BD2 is sp features + dgtl cp Chckd out de main feature n its quite remarkable how they edited each performace to a full song thou' de different shots is kinda confusing but given de circumstance it is an achievement indeed.. as said sum shots are in SD so aspect ration changes as well as vdo quality.. Wat I wanna stress abt tis bd's superiority, is ITS AWESOME ODO - de bass is fantastic n since its not really concert per se (since most shots were of rehearsals or sorts..) there is wonderful acoustics - maybe its techincal wizardry at work but it does sound wonderful.. Cheers D |

I have Best Buy's steelbook of This Is It. However, take note that it is DVD-sized, so it's larger than standard blu-ray casing, sticks out like a sore thumb in my collection. Not happy.
Ended up getting the Speedy one too.  p/s : thanks bighead. |

Just received 2 parcels from Amazon UK. 2 of the cases in one of the parcel were damaged. I wrote love letter to Amazon UK regarding this incident
.By the way, I noticed that both parcel have been opened by someone before and their have remove the sticker in both invoices. This make me wonder, are their starting to check content of the parcel again? I am wondering is this something to do with 2 of my missing parcel from Amazon US? My biggest worry is their also visit lowyat forum (Here!)  and if someone said he/she want to order some "special" movies, those custom officers or postman will surely closely monitor your parcel.

I just received one of my missing parcel from Amazon US. Apparently, my local post office has kept it don't know for what. Sepang's customs office released this parcel on January 4, 2010 (My order for this parcel only placed on January 12,2010... back to the future???) and re-released by my local post office on February 9, 2010 and received by me at March 4, 2010!!! and delivered to my billing address (again!!! [2nd time] ) instead of postal address.Once again it is partially Amazon's fault cause their folded the invoice too small so it will move around reveal the billing address to uncle postman, and uncle postman also got problem since he did not read the address in sticker at another side of the parcel. Anyway, since it arrived without damaged, it is the most lucky thing for me today. This post has been edited by low98944: Mar 4 2010, 07:27 PM |

I also don't have any idea who sale it and since I can't find it locally and even I found it, it is most probably from seller at west malaysia, the cost for 2 BD cases must be above RM15++ (including courier charges to east malaysia) but Amazon UK only agreed to refund 2 GBP which I think if I purchase myself, I will suffer losses. Thus, I don't accept their 2 GBP. |

QUOTE(low98944 @ Mar 5 2010, 08:42 AM) I also don't have any idea who sale it and since I can't find it locally and even I found it, it is most probably from seller at west malaysia, the cost for 2 BD cases must be above RM15++ (including courier charges to east malaysia) but Amazon UK only agreed to refund 2 GBP which I think if I purchase myself, I will suffer losses. Thus, I don't accept their 2 GBP. Just 2 BD cases for RM15 ++ , that's cut throat bro..ok, i can't find it either..i'll do a deep search..and let you know.. |

Anyway, I think I will not buy the case anymore cause Amazon already agreed to send me replacement BDs and their said I can keep it as compliments or donate the damaged items to charity. Actually, only case are damaged, disc is still in good condition. So, soon I will have 2 copied Shaolin Soccer and Leon. This is 3rd time already. 1st is scratched disc and 2nd time is actual product is different from description (for this case, their send me replacement BD and fully refund the purchase price and shipping cost).

QUOTE(toratorabluray @ Mar 5 2010, 10:04 AM) oh Shaolin Soccer? You have Region B player? I don't have Region B player but I got BD writer + AnyDVD HD software + HDX BD1 . So I can ripped the BD.ISO and transferred to external harddisk and play in HDX BD1.Shaolin Soccer's BD.ISO can play without problem but for Leon, I can't play directly in my computer together with PowerDVD 8 + AnyDVD HD if I set the region code to Automatic. Last night, I ripped the Leon .ISO by setting my AnyDVD HD region code to Automatic, the ISO file also can't play in HDX BD1 . But once I set the region code to B in AnyDVD HD, I can play it at my computer. Tonight will try to play the ISO file using Region code B when ripped image from Leon, see whether it can play in HDX BD1 or not.Strange both Shaolin Soccer and Leon are region B why Shaolin Soccer.iso can play in my HDX BD1 but Leon.iso can't? Is it my AnyDVD HD must set the region correctly before doing BD image rip?

Lord of the Rings Blu-ray Ditches Dolby, Goes 6.1
New Line Cinema Warner Home Video has uploaded the final back cover picture for The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy, which comes out on Blu-ray in a month, and a significant change in the audio specs has taken place: while initially audio was listed as Dolby TrueHD 5.1, now it's DTS-HD Master Audio 6.1. Audio and subtitle information on the back cover of The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy. The replacement of one lossless codec by another is not too important, but some forum members had complained about the audio track being only 5.1, as the DVDs had DTS-ES 6.1 tracks. Those concerns are now addressed. The other, less welcome, change is the loss of several subtitled languages as the only subtitle tracks listed now are English for the deaf and hard of hearing and Spanish |

On LOTR..
Since its a re release of an oldie but goodie.. I see no reason to pick de weaker TE version as de first HD cp if not to milk us fans.. N for most fans who have got de SD EE version.. its almost tantamount to going one step back if gettin de TE bd, dont u think? But of cos for those who hvnt seen LOTR yet then ya.. its fine to get tis ed .. Dwn side I see is u'll upgrd to de EE bd when it cums out.. D |

Just tested to re-rip Leon with Region B setting in AnyDVD HD, this time .ISO file can play without problem in my HDX BD1. I wonder is Shaolin Soccer and Leon using different way of encoding?

QUOTE(putih @ Mar 6 2010, 08:19 AM) I noticed that the UK amazong offers very cheap blu ray boxsets, which sometimes make me wonder if they are real blurays. I believe normally it is same (if release by same studio) or almost same quality (if release by different studio). I get my Matrix trilogy for GBP11.05 last time. UK version usually come with less sumpplements or extra. eg - band of brothers complete series - GBP17, Matrix 1,2,3 only GBP16, MI 1,2,3 GBP16 etc. Compared to US version, these prices are super cheap, even cheaper than the ahem copies. Has anybody bought this and how's the quality? Audio format sometimes also inferior than US version. This post has been edited by low98944: Mar 6 2010, 09:22 AM |

http://bluray.highdefdigest.com once again help us to answer some of the question in our minds regarding BD packaging and extra for early released BD.
Fancy Blu-ray Packaging Q: Why don't American Blu-ray releases get fancy cases or better packaging like other countries often do? In Europe and Japan, a lot of movies get released with Steelbook cases or gift set editions like 'Ghost in the Shell', 'Inglourious Basterds', or 'This is Spinal Tap'. A: This is a trend that started with DVD and has carried through to Blu-ray. The U.S. market does occasionally get elaborate disc packages such as the 'Blade Runner', 'Gone with the Wind', or 'Wizard of Oz' gift sets. (Warner Home Video seems to favor them more than other studios.) Sometimes, specific retailers will carry exclusive packages, like this edition of 'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen' with an Optimus Prime bust that's available only at Best Buy. However, you are correct that we see these sort of things much less frequently than some foreign territories do. Steelbook cases in particular are hot collectible items in many countries, but are rarely offered here. The reasons for that are largely cultural. For the most part, American consumers aren't attracted to elaborate movie packaging. In fact, some are outright turned off by it. Many collectors prefer uniformity, so that all their movies line up neatly on a shelf. Or, those with large collections may simply be looking to conserve space. A big box set is often seen as a waste of room. Not everyone feels this way, of course. Some collectors cherish unique cases or large gift sets. Nevertheless, by and large, fancy disc packaging doesn't sell well in the U.S. As a result, the studios don't bother to offer it here. The situation is different in other countries. In Asia, studios often use elaborate packaging as a way to entice shoppers to buy legitimate retail editions of movies rather than cheap bootlegs. A box set or nice case makes the buyer feel that he or she is paying for something of quality. European collectors often embrace diversity in packaging. The downright crazy Hogwarts Prestige Edition gift set for the 'Harry Potter' movies that was released in France is perhaps the ultimate example of collectors' indulgence.   Harry Potter 1 to 6 - Hogwarts Castle Prestige Edition [Amazon FR] - Blu-ray -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Blu-rays with Less Features than DVDs Q: What is it that makes companies release a Blu-ray of a film with less special features than the DVD? This makes the DVD version all the more enticing and not worth replacing. Two cases: 'Big Fish' and 'Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium'. I love both films, and both have amazing imagery that look spectacular on Blu-ray, but both feature none of the behind the scenes features that appear on the DVDs. Doesn't the extra space on the Blu-ray allow them to fit all of that and more? A: The choice to release a Blu-ray with fewer bonus features than the comparable DVD edition of the film usually comes down to three reasons: technical issues, licensing issues, or business policy decisions. In the early days of the Blu-ray format, many movies were authored on BD-25 single-layer discs. At the time, BD-50 dual-layer discs had poor reliability rates. This was especially problematic when the studios used inefficient MPEG-2 video compression and space-hogging PCM audio (which are troublesome even on dual-layer discs like 'Big Fish'). That left very little room on the disc for supplemental content. As a result, a lot of Blu-rays released in 2006 and 2007 had no features other than the movie. Obviously, this is much less of a concern these days. BD-50 discs are pretty standard now, and the studios have almost all switched to the more efficient AVC MPEG-4 or VC-1 compression and lossless audio formats. In some cases, the studio may no longer hold the licensing rights to certain pieces of content. This often happens to music videos, documentaries and featurettes produced by a third-party company, or vintage material. In an example like 'La Femme Nikita', the movie was last released on DVD by MGM Home Entertainment with a handful of bonus features. But the film's distribution rights later changed hands to Sony Home Entertainment, who released it on Blu-ray but couldn't retain any of MGM's supplements. By far the most frustrating scenario is when a studio deliberately drops bonus features with the expectation of forcing fans to buy both the Blu-ray and DVD edition of the film to get everything. 20th Century Fox (the studio behind 'Mr. Magorium') is one of the worst offenders in this regard.

Hi, I dunno whether I should post this here.
I bought a few blu-ray disc from Amazon at the end of December last year(2 shipments of Patton&Unforgiven and BoB steelbox) But till now still haven't got it. So I emailed Amazon 3 days ago. And now they said might be lost and they ask me whether want to refund or replace. What should I do? I really wanted those blu-rays but am afraid it gets lost again by our wonderful pos malaysia.

May of next year, we will be able to watch Pirates of the Caribbean 4.
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. But so far only Johnny Depp agreed to star in this film, before "there was a script or anything". |

Tonight 2am (Malaysia time), we got amazon lightning deal:
"A 3-pack collection of talking animals in high-definition. " The Shrek Trilogy? Not avaiable in Amazon US yet Doctor Dolittle Trilogy? Don't have any Doctor Dolittle series in blu-ray yet. Also not likely is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: 25th Anniversary Collector's Edition (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles / Secret of the Ooze / Turtles in Time / TMNT) [Blu-ray]. Since it is 4 pack. Current price is $57.49. Madagascar? Now only got Madagascar and Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa. So, not possible. This post has been edited by low98944: Mar 8 2010, 04:13 PM |

Just found 2 BDs with not bad limited edition gift set:
1. Star Trek (Limited Edition Blu-ray Gift Set with Replica Starfleet Division Badges) [Blu-ray] (2009)  2. X-Men Origins: Wolverine (Limited Edition Blu-ray Gift Set with Wolverine Bust and Gift Card) [Blu-ray] (2009)  Unfortunately, both are not sold by Amazon US. Both of them are sold by third parties. |

QUOTE(ronnt88 @ Mar 8 2010, 02:25 PM) wah... after reading the review at amazon, seems like a must buy lai & like wat u said, win so many awards now Taukeh Ron, it is sort of 'Valkyrie'. Many conversations reflecting on life and death and a little action sequence. same director with point break which i liked a lot will see if i can get it from stores next week The initial opening scene when the bomb is detonated really worth mentioning as it nearly 'rip' my room apart. Then, there is taxi ramming the road block and he fired shots. Solid LFE. We have the ambush scene by sniper. The 50 cal M1 machine gun is really terrifying powerful. Then, the near ending part. That's all. |

huh... My longest wait ever for the parcel from Amazon UK.
Dispatched on 20 Dec 2009, dilepaskan ketam on 29 Dec 2009 and received today 10 March 2010. What The H*ll it took the Pos 2 months and 12 days before the parcel to reach me?  Amazoos UK send me a replacement parcel with 1 title less and it's more than a month and still haven't reach me. What should I do if the replacement reach me later? |

For majority of US blu-ray, yes, there don't have "pure" english subtitle but most of those discs got English for hearing impaired or something like that subtitle. Maybe those BD release in US and since most of the US residents know how to listen to English, so make "pure" English subtitle a waste of resources. |

QUOTE(sKyWiR3pT3lTd @ Mar 11 2010, 06:15 PM) Guys, I think it depends on the total price per package... if your '5-titles-at-a-time-package' total is above RM500, then you'll be charged with tax. But it also depends on your lucky charm. Those ketam usually will pick your package at random from the whole pile. You can bring in 20 at a time and get away with it.... just luck brutha I'm planning to order 10 - 15 titles blu-ray from a source, if i were to bring in all 15 at a time, i'll have to pay tax for those isn't it?

Those who are waiting for US edition of "Life", the US edition of Life will available on June 1, 2010. But it is narration by Oprah Winfrey instead of Sir David Attenborough.
 If you want narration by Sir David Attenborough, UK edition of region free "Life" is your best choice.  However, take note that UK edition is encoded in 1080i at 50 Hz. P/S: Based on the comments, lot of Amaricans hate narration by Oprah Winfrey . Don't know why. Maybe her narration is not good enough??? US edition's current pre-order price is $48.99 whereas UK edition is £30.00. This post has been edited by low98944: Mar 12 2010, 01:21 PM |

If you also looking for Avatar 3D blu-ray, here is some news about it:QUOTE Samsung and Panasonic Fighting over Avatar 3D Blu-ray Bundle Source: http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=4280According to Australian tech site SmartHouse, Samsung and Panasonic may be fighting over the rights to bundle a 3D version of James Cameron's Avatar with the 3D-compatible HDTVs from their respective brands in the second half of 2010. Initially, Panasonic was the clear favorite. However, now Samsung is reportedly offering "serious money" in a bid for the rights to bundle the sci-fi blockbuster. Avatar producer Jon Landau had spoken at the Panasonic press conferences at the IFA and CES fairs, and clips from the movie had been used by the Japanese CE maker to showcase its 3D tech. Panasonic had also helped in the production of Avatar. However, Samsung scored a publicity coup Wednesday when Cameron attended the Korean corporation's 3D launch event in New York. The filmmaker took the stage after a brief concert by the Black Eyed Peas, which was filmed with 3D cameras and that footage (along with the rest of the band's tour) will be available in 3D Blu-ray... exclusively for Samsung customers. Cameron noted that the concert had been filmed with the same cameras he'd used for Avatar and added that Samsung had been "such a visionary leader in getting to market first with these sets." It is our obligation to remind everyone that, despite all of the above, 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment still hasn't publicly changed its official stance that "3D is in the conceptual stage and Avatar will not be out on 3D Blu-ray in November." |

QUOTE(fadthil @ Mar 12 2010, 05:21 PM) I always choose option 1, cheapskate ma... hehe. I'll only opt for option 2 if I have a "pre-order" title among normal ones but I don't fancy pre-order, so... there you go For me, if I order in Amazon US, I usually combine pre-order or out-of-stock BD with those BD got available stock. By doing that Amazon US usually will ship those BD with available stock first without any additional charge provided the pre-order or out-of-stock BD is at least few weeks before their can ship to you. Amazon UK is a bit difficult to ship in separate parcel if order contain pre-order or out-of-stock BD with those BD that got stock. So far, only 1 order happened like that which only took place in today. Added on March 12, 2010, 9:00 pmI think today lightning deal for DVD and Blu-ray are both Firefly series.

Group my items into as few shipments as possible 2. I want my items faster. Ship items as they become available However, sometimes Amazon is very generous by splitting the shipment of your order that include titles that are out of stock or yet to release, eventhough you chose Option 1 |

I just realized that the X-Men Trilogy I ordered in late November 2009 (received in December 2009) got some problem.
The disc 1 of X-Men: The Last Stand is actually disc 1 of X2: X-Men United. This mean I got 2 disc 1 of X2: X-Men United. I just realized 10 mins ago when I first time playing this disc. I already watched X-Men and X2: X-Men United 1 to 2 months ago but I left X-Men: The Last Stand untouched until today. Just write email to Amazon US to check whether can exchange or not for that particular disc... |

I normally don't recommend Indian Blu Rays to non Indians as the song and dance gets to most people.
However, there are exceptions. Watched Unnai Pol Oruvan recently. The PQ is pretty good, not eye candy material. I believe the PQ was intentionally set in that tone to reflect the actual settings of the movie. The film looks real at all times, the colour timings accurate and there seems to be no apparent contrast boost. I however, do believe that the director did alter the colours to mute it a little to reflect the sombre tone of the movie. At no time did I see a loss of details. However, I do believe that there is some bit rate compression due to cramming both movies (Telugu and Tamil versions) into one BD. The film was shot using the Red One camera so it was a direct digital transfer. So the artefacts shd be due to cramming 2 complete versions of the movie into one BD. There was a one case of moire that could be seen from Kamal's striped shirt on one of the scenes. I have a calibrated display and I viewed the movie in dot by dot mode. So the moire was there even though there was no scaling going on. I use a Oppo BDP-83 which is also not known to cause any moire problems with 1080p material. I have seen this occasionally with 1080i concerts on striped shirts but never on 1080p material. I will get in touch with the authoring house to verify this. The movie is very good, great acting from the cast, Kamalhassan and MohanLal do stand out. A short movie that sends out a clear message, not sure if the message will be well received by the masses but its clear anyway. Ganesh Venkataraman as Arif Khan puts out a stellar performance and in my mind stole the thunder from the more established veterans Kamal and MohanLal. The SQ (DTS-HD Master Audio) is another great mix by Ayngaran (Sunny deserves the credit I believe). There are no dance sequences, no love scenes. This movie is about terrorism, politics, good cops and how people react to terrorism. All in all a very strong release and I can recommend it to anyone who abhors Bollywood due to its constant song, love and dance routines. The movie runtime is a short 1hr 40min+. I give it 2 thumbs up. and that says a lot for an Indian film.Edit : This film is actually based on the Hindi film (AWednesday) that I was told is not as good as its Tamil/Telugu remake (acting wise), but I have not watched it so it is based on what I heard. A Wednesday is also just released by MoserBaer release but does not have lossless audio. The Tamil/Telugu versions are released by Ayngaran UK and authored or overseen by the famous Shahran Sunny Audit. This post has been edited by anfieldude: Mar 14 2010, 10:51 AM |

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Its Kamal Hassan , you only can expect messages instead of mixture of grace dances & songs. The movie itself straigh to the point , against Terrorism and terrorist does not deserve to live no matter what religion they are.. But since anfieldude recommended this on blu-ray , its must buy for myself then.. Thanks for the wonderful review. T'ra |

Occasionally KL post office will hold up those parcels before releasing to Kuching. I have experienced before that they hold for 7 days before clearance when I ordered my dvd from ebay.

The delay will always be at our shores; that is either at our Ketam, KDN or Pos. So for those who live in East M'sia... those delay process will double up I'm sure!
It is just unfortunate that the process require all incoming packages to come through KL even if you live in E.Msia...As for "itchy hand" case, I doubt it lah... but you'll never know, human is human right... |

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

Watched 'Alice In Wonderland 3D' today
Not a bad movie though As usual, the plot is rather darker, as the director is Tim Burton anyway I think Disney used the same 3D technology as per Avatar coz I didn't feel giddy throughout the 2-hour long movie and the 3D pop-up effect is not overly done Not a boom boom pow movie but is rather good on PQ/AQ wise though I found that Avatar has better PQ and not to forget Johnny Depp aka the Mad Hatter is always brilliant on portraying this type of bizarre character I think worth for collection when it's released in blu-ray This post has been edited by robinlim: Mar 15 2010, 06:11 PM |

QUOTE(low98944 @ Mar 12 2010, 01:16 PM) Those who are waiting for US edition of "Life", the US edition of Life will available on June 1, 2010. But it is narration by Oprah Winfrey instead of Sir David Attenborough. Sorry what is the "impact" if encoded in 1080i at 50Hz? If you want narration by Sir David Attenborough, UK edition of region free "Life" is your best choice. However, take note that UK edition is encoded in 1080i at 50 Hz. P/S: Based on the comments, lot of Amaricans hate narration by Oprah Winfrey . Don't know why. Maybe her narration is not good enough??? US edition's current pre-order price is $48.99 whereas UK edition is £30.00. US version of Life is in 1080p?

Biggest impact is if ur BD player/display cannot handle 1080i/50Hz however, it shd not be a problem with Malaysian displays.US version of Life is in 1080p? The other problem is that deinterlacing 1080i stuff is quite difficult to implement correctly. Some displays/BD players do not do it too well, so u r left with deinterlacing errors.

Caught Caroline BD Recently.
I watched the 2D version, will try the 3D version for kicks another time. This one is really 5* PQ. Very good rendition of colours, and even the 2D version was 3D like. Watched on a display that is properly calibrated, its really that good. The colours pop up when it is needed, the animation is almost flawless. This is stop motion animation, the step by step process in making the motion lifelike is a painstaking job. I believe this is one the best stop motion animation I have seen. This guy with his previous work assisting Tim Burton in Nightmare Before Christmas really got his animation right. I believe the PQ excels Nightmare and rivals Corpse Bride. In my opinion its slightly better. The storyline is pretty good, dark and yet colourful. The AQ is also almost perfect, good use of surrounds, decent bass when needed. Just that good. Not sure if this will end up in my collection but for now it seems to have found a place there. If ur're into animation, check it out, its worth 2 looks! |

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.

I justed watched "Revolutionary Road" starring by Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet and interesting to know that the director is Kate Winslet's husband, Sam Mendes.
This is also the first film after "Titanic" both Leonardo DiCaprio team up with Kate Winslet. I give 4 out of 5 for both PQ and AQ. This is family drama so don't expect any action or boom boom pow scene. Sadly, the ending is sad ending for this movie. For those love the family drama, I will recomand this movie to them. I recomand to purchase from Amazon UK rather than Amazon US since it is cheaper in UK and UK version also can play in region A (tested) player. If fact, the UK version, I think, is for Europe cause it give you option to choice for many language or subtitle at the beginning scene. Added on March 16, 2010, 11:50 amJust read the news that Kate Winslet and Sam Mendes have split after six years of marriage. "Side effect" of staring in Revolutionary Road as a desperate housewife??? By the way, Kate Winslet also won the Best Actress at the Golden Globes in 2009 for her roles in 'Revolutionary Road'. This post has been edited by low98944: Mar 16 2010, 11:50 AM |

Avatar Steelbook at HMV , almost 30 quid just the disc price.
Look up : http://hmv.com/hmvweb/displayProductDetail...ar_prod1-271265 Release date : 26-04-2010 More News on Avatar 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. Avatar release dates in other territories are: * Belgium: April 21 * France: April 21 * Netherlands: April 21 * Spain: April 21 * Brazil: April 22 * Canada: April 22 * China: April 22 * Russia: April 22 * Germany: April 23 * Japan: April 23 * Mexico: April 23 * Switzerland: April 23 * UK: April 26 * Denmark: April 27 * New Zealand: April 28 * Norway: April 28 * Sweden: April 28 * Australia: April 29 * Finland: April 30 * Italy: May 6 This post has been edited by sKyWiR3pT3lTd: Mar 16 2010, 04:21 PM |

Avatar from Region B will almost surely be locked. FOX locks 90% of their titles, and that 10% usually only on some catalog titles.
But who knows (though most unlikely), just be sure to wait for confirmation before check-out. |

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. Title: Pyaar Impossible Distributor: Yash Raj Films - Home Entertainment Authoring House: ? MYR: 95 Running Time: 02:20:45 hrs Chapters 26 Media: Main Feature - 50GB BD | Special Features - 5GB DVD Region Coding: A/B/C Video: 2.35:1, HD 1080p 16:9, AVC 24Hz Peak Bitrate 38Mbps | Average bitrate 31Mbps Audio: Hindi - DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 (48khz) <-- Default Track Hindi - Dolby Digital 5.1 (48khz 640kbps) <-- Redundant & Space wasting Subtitles: English, Arabic. Special Features: Presented on separate DVD in 4x3 1. Making Of the Film 2. Making of the Songs 3. Deleted Scenes 4. 'You And ME' Music Video 5. Fun Moments 6. Video Blogs 7. Theatrical Trailer & Promos 8. Other Attractions Special Mention: No Watermark Logo, during songs or otherwise. <-- Kudos to 'YRF Home Entertainment' for listening to our feedback. No scrolling advertisements during songs. <-- All Bollywood Video companies, please take note. No advertisements, forced or otherwise, before or during the movie. <-- All Bollywood Video companies, please take note. No locking of any buttons during menus. Therby allowing the viewer to skip to the next menu screen. <-- All Bollywood Video companies, please take note. Separate 'Song Menu' to allow direct selection of song. <-- This should be a no brainer for all Bollywood films. Special Features presented on a seperate DVD to allow more space on the BD for the main feature. <-- All Bollywood Video companies, please take note. 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) Screenshots uploaded by 'divyansh' Equipment used for testing: Projector: Panasonic PT-AE2000U Screen: Da-Lite 4:3 120" 'Model B' - White Matte Viewing Distance: 11' 6" A/V Receiver: Denon AVR5800 Speakers: 5.1 Front/Main: Paradigm Reference 100 v2 Center: Paradigm Reference Studio CC v2 Rear: Tannoy - Mercury M5 Subwoofer: Paradigm Reference Servo 15 BD Player: Oppo BDP-83 (Hardware Modified 'Region Free' with 'BDP-83-48-1224' firmware) PS3 (80GB US 'Region A' with firmware v3.15) Source Edited: http://forum.blu-ray.com/india/136199-revi...e-yash-raj.html This post has been edited by sKyWiR3pT3lTd: Mar 17 2010, 12:12 AM |

Yo mate,Those are not for personal use, all are up for sale. The cheapest i would offer. A month ago..the prices were unbelievable.. RM12x.xx. But now i've found a new source and i'm offering the cost price..not a single cent more or less. I'm reselling this to spread wide the Bollywood releases in MYS , i know there are loads of Bollywood fans in Malaysia. This is an opportunity. I've been offered to be the Distributor in Malaysia, i didnt pursue the offer cos its not easy to be a Distributor.. If you are interested, there you go for a start..4 titles in hand , expecting 5-10 in another 2 weeks time.. I'll update them here..Also , i'll post reviews from various source here for reference.. |

AVATAR is now available for pre-order:
http://www.amazon.com/Avatar-Blu-ray-Sam-W...68808923&sr=1-1 Also, the aspect ratio will be 1.78:1 as that was the original aspect ratio that the movie was created. The ratio you see in theaters was cropped to 2.35:1 (except IMAX screens). It'll also be one of the very few BD with THX certification. As mentioned by producer Jon Landau, they got rid of the menus, extras, trailers and studio promotions to max out the bitrate resulting in the best picture and sound possible (sounds like an excuse to have a barebone release though, curious to see how high the bitrate will be). » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « |

My pick of the day for a dropped price title.
Eyes Wide Shut, starring Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise.The movie was shot during they were together. I guess they separated after this film or so.. Good deal of the day USD9.99 . Just watch Nicole & Tom bare naked and obscene.. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0013FSXT...g=bluray-031-20 This post has been edited by sKyWiR3pT3lTd: Mar 17 2010, 11:41 PM |

These scenes display poor black tones, probably due to digital processing - www.dvdbeaver.com Also, please note: QUOTE What purchasers should be aware of is that this transfer reflects the original grainy intent of Kubrick.
