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.

Agreed..

I tot Benjamin Button deserved the oscar for best picture cos I watchd BB first then Slumdog.. Aftr viewin SM.. hv to agree tat it deservd d oscar..
It might not be wholly b'wood production but in essense [not much singin] it cums pretty close..

Haha.. my family likes b'wood.. thou' I dont dislike it.. I m mostly ther for d ride.. hv to agree tat its got pretty much everytin covered - pretty boy + pretty girl + romance + comedy in a wholesome languaged flick [ d ttls I buy anyway ] n in bd format is prbbly d clearest it can get [ barrin any better format further dwn d line..] odo is oso in most instances much hotter than d western tlls plus plus its real value for money - all will be ard 2 n a half hrs at least n sum approachin 4 hrs in length..

Id stil go for Transformers 3 if they focussed more on de machines n less on de ppl....
N ther r other eye candies in h'wood bsides ms fox..

as i said, i placed the order and in amazon show dispatced. i checked my cc, already being bill on 18/may/2010.
i cannot cancel this item as the option is not there after 1 day.
so i believe the Dispatched was referring to "Shipping" via royal mail.

Hi..

Disptchd means sent.. u now can wait a little while longer[2X de duration of date dispatch to date of delivery] or emel them now abt d non arrival of ur pckg.. if u do it now they ll stil ask u to wait til de date I mentioned b4 theyll ship out another..

Hmmnn.. royal mail means they shpd frm British Isles.. shld be faster then frm their euro supply ctrs..

Another catch up title review. I am unlike some people who are up to date with the current releases. Still hv quite a few older titles not watched yet. More than a few actually.

Movie : Burn After Reading
Typical dark comedy. Some stellar acting. Clooney's character is well played,  McDormand is darn good, Pitt is well, Pitt. Malkovich is very convincing. Fun movie to watch, with weird twists and large cast. Pokes fun at the intelligence agency of the states. Slightly slow in parts, but enuf to keep u grossed.

PQ :
Good, not reference material, but strong details. Some yellowish hues, directorial intent, I believe. Colours not vibrant but also intended. Good transfer.

AQ :
Dialogue heavy, so that shd say it all. Surrounds and sub used sparsely, just for dramatic moments. Centre channel is well defined, clear as it has to be since it is heavy talking.

I enjoyed the movie. Quick 1 1/2hrs. Decent way to kill the time.

Haha..

I tot Pitt had d bes part.. easily d funniest he has ever been.. a tru jock - prbbly didnt knw wat hit him in d closet..

Kekeke.. I liked it too

do you guy buy those old movie title which is just release for blu-ray version, worth to buy and keep it? ( although you have see the movie before ) like those movie release on 1990's or early of 2000's (which blu-ray or HD-DVD not implement yet ), how they did the provide awesome PQ and AQ ? is it just up scaling or re-encode the movie by H.264 or something?

My bottom line, it is worth to buy and keep it. ( if yes, then will cost me a bomb to buy all of them from amazon >.<" )

My oldest film to date is prbbly Casablanca but I hvnt watched tat yet so cant comment much.. wat I hv watched n is pretty ol is An American in Paris n its a great restoration n wif 5.1 odo .. lossless to boot - vdo is amazing for an ol picture but odo is so so in spite of d upgrd..
Other ttls like Ferris Buellers, Heathers, Good Will Hunting are pretty gud - much better than SD but of cos no comparison to new catalog ttls like 2012 la..

My opinion is if u can afford it.. get d bd..

As a fan of RDJ, I am relunctant but will still say that he might not be the perfect Sherlock Holmes.  He is too eccentric and goofy for that character.  Well, I guess they need to 're-style' Sherlock for the new millenium?

BTW, i tot the AQ of SH is more than decent to say the least?  Booming basses?

Well..

To be true.. ACDoyles character is reknwond for his eccentricities almos as much as his detectin prowess [ d bks pretty gud too ] - another reason why I bought d bd..

Yup.. Bro HTkaki alrdy acknowldgd its bass prowess liao.. unshackld summore .. kekeke
