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

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

Hmmnn..

Why not go de full hog n 7.1.. same like T2 - skynet ed , all over again..
Oso de SD version only had 6.1 in de Ext Ed.. dont tink it was avlbl in de T E..

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..

I noticed that the UK amazong offers very cheap blu ray boxsets, which sometimes make me wonder if they are real blurays.
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?
*
Yup..

Makes u wonder, don't it.. but fear not.. amz.uk dont deal in bootlegs n except for a few ttls , most are virtually identical wif de region A cps - Bourne trlgy, Mission Impossible, Spidey trlgy n BoB cums to mind .. of cos pckg is different but tat is part n parcel of de cheaper pricing.. I guess in de end u pay for de fancy packagin..

My opinion..

Cloudy cums wif dts hd ma 5.1.. if not mistaken.. its a sony animation flick n is surprsingly watchable for a flick based on a picture book ..

VDO as all animations go is pristine .. Odo is decent especially de action scenes..

A trivia note on tis - de cops voice sounded familiar until I found out it was Mr T( d wrestler ; A - team..)

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!  doh.gif  It is just unfortunate that the process require all incoming packages to come through KL even if you live in E.Msia...

Agreed..

Pos Malaysia has quite literally been veri reliable if a bit slow sumtimes[but is it really pos M's fault?]..

For me, in my 3 odd yrs of online shoppin .. I hv only lost 2 small pckgs of my HP6 (2bds in each pckg) for a at least a 99.75% success rate.. pretty gud if u ask me

www.blu-ray.com recently just reviewed UK version of Emmanuelle.  You can take a look if you interested.  Previosly, their also had reviewed The story of O.

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!
*
Yup..

Coraline is great but its not really a kiddie 'cartoon' as certain parts are pretty scary ..
plus its not as bright n colorful as other more kid orientated flick [ meanin tat parts tat were real n not in de alternate button eyed world which was portrayed as really nice..]

I d suggest another under achievin animated called Dragon Hunters too..

Unfortunately, Amazon US has no updates on the sales yet.

This is wat comes up " Sign up to be notified when this item becomes available."
However, Amazon UK already updated their site with the following
