I dont think Jeepers Creepers ever came out on blu-ray? Fortunately found a news on Jeepers Creepers 2 Blu-ray but....

"MGM will be releasing 'Jeepers Creepers 2' for Blu-ray on September 11th, according to The Digital Bits. No specs have been announced at this time. As you may recall, MGM (along with their distributor 20th Century Fox) have been on Blu-ray hiatus since AACS was cracked many months ago. It now appears Fox is ready to get back in the game. According to the Bits, Fox commented that they will be back soon and "in a big way". The forth quarter will be a huge push by Blu-ray studios, and it appears Fox is getting back in at the right time"

Prolly MGM backed off the plan and none got released. Watched it way back about 9 years ago i think...

The Shawshank Redemption

I watched this movie so many times on so many different platform . Watched it first on laser disc , then on VCD and DVD , finally got the BD .  This is a real classic movie with good PQ and AQ . Unfortunately the BD doesnt come with much high-def extras. Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman as two imprisoned men bond over a number of years, finding solace and eventual redemption through acts of common decency. This is a must get BD . Highly rated by IMDB also at 9.2/10 .  smile.gif

Laser Disc? You have a laser disc player?

BD technology is good successor to LD as VCD and DVD was never a good replacement for LD . The PQ and AQ of a BD is definitely better than a LD . I enjoyed watching LD during the 90`s but the BD technology is exciting and access to movies are more than then time LD `s was the technology .Unfortunately during that time we had the LD player the LD `s were so expensive and we were only able to rent them. The size of the LD was also huge and was prone to damage . I hated flipping the disc to watch the 2nd part of the movie as sometimes the movies are long and needed more space . Bd`s resolved many of the issue that LD`s had . I prefer BD`s anytime over LD`s .
*
I, once saw a demo of LD movie , i think it was Titanic..at Sungei Wang.
Was happy with Video presentation but it was way far from affordable.

Disney’s latest animated film now has a date scheduled for Blu-ray with the March 29th release of Tangled and Tangled 3D. Tangled with no doubts , would be a big seller on Blu-ray and a key title for Blu-ray 3D in 2011. Shortly after we get a real treat with a new Pixar release with The Incredibles on Blu-ray April 12th.

Add that to the upcoming classic animation releases Alice in Wonderland on February 1st and then Bambi on March 1st.
