Check this review. You can softcode your mind tongue.gif

Catch up viewing on older titles.

Slumdog Millionaire
PQ is stable throughout. Golden Hues and some colour timing corrections done by Danny Boyle. However, the details are pretty solid. Did not catch any artifacting or aliasing. AQ is a good test of sub qualities for tightness and bass accuracy in a film track. Soundtrack has LFE moments that will not test how low ur sub can go but how well it handles the soundtrack. Drum beats good and solid. Surrounds used very well and effective. All in in all a good PQ/AQ title.

Movie is pretty ok. Very good acting, from the kid actors to the main actors. No real melodrama, a simple love story and a rags to riches storyline. Danny Boyle stays clear of traditional Hindi movies except at the end. But Boyle tends to do that in his movies anyway. Sunshine comes to mind.

i thought sludog millionaire is hollywood production?
Yes it is, the co direction in India by Loveleen Tandan shows they can make quality films too. Btw, no doubt as anfieldude mentioned , the blu-ray PQ is awesome.
I watched it like 5-6 times. Never got bored.

Use the Visa Exchange website and add 1 - 1.5% transaction fee imposed by the bank, that is the closest. Based on the day when they charge ur card.

1.5% i guess imposed by the bank and plus the rate is taken from the day itself not when an order is placed.
Buyers should be able to check when they have made orders and when the card was cleared for transaction.

Seem like got very good story line. Some may like it.  This is French movie.

Not seen this thought , but I still remember a French movie called YAMAKASI, it demonstrates the skills of the Yamakasi, a group of traceurs who battle against injustice in the Paris ghetto. They use parkour to steal from the rich in order to pay off medical bills for a person injured copying their techniques.

I wish this has in blu-ray hmm.gif

this should put on FAQ...right bro kianwee?
Working on the FAQ still, hadn't had chance to research in detail. MC, my supply doesn't sell Bitwel BD's. Bitwel BD's ..better get from Yesasia.

Cheaper than any supply around the globe..

Watching widescreen (2.35:1 and above) on a 16:9 HDTV isn't that bad as compared to watching one on 4:3 tv like before. Steven Spielberg comes to mind, he loves 1.85:1 aspect ratio... with few exception of course.

If you ask me which one I'd prefer, I'd say 2.35:1 ratio because I like to watch my movies on bd wif the subtitle on... so at least it won't interfere more with the image on screen  tongue.gif

I second your concern, oso i dont like to get interrupted with Sub during FS , 2:35:1 , still ok with black bar ..at least a space given for st's.

I do find English titles discussed more here rather Bollywood, wonder how my little information could drive to to next version?

Anyway..i wanted to sincerely apologize to everyone for delaying the FAQ. I'm now the focal point for MS Exchange/Lotus Domino since my boss off sick for the next 3 months.

I'll try my best to get this done soon. Also need your input on what are the FAQ's that i can include. I've only managed to go through v1 so far. Got 6 more version to go through.

Just heard directly from Muzlim Kapasi at 'Excel Home Videos'. For those who may not be familiar with 'Excel Home Videos', they are the one's who released the really nice and very successful, 'Special Collector's Edition DVD' set of 'Lagaan', under license from Sony Films, with the blessings and participation of Aamir Khan. They are also, who Aamir Khan turned for help while mastering the DVD for his own 'Taare Zameen Par', even though T-Series were the actual home video distributors of 'Taare Zameen Par'.

Just some teaser information

QUOTE
xXx:
Is there any chances of a Blu-Ray release of 'Lagaan' anytime soon? If so, how soon can we expect the BD to be released? Any details on technical specifications and extras to be included?

xXx:
Blu-ray of Lagaan is being encoded in 1080p and 5.1 HD Master Audio. All of the DVDs bonus features, including the National Award winning Documentaries in 2-Disc BD50s. Plus there is some material being reviewed and debated for additions into the Blu-ray- it will take some time...
