Another Blu-ray i have seen with heavy grain was Men In Black. It looks great with grain present. There are more movies on Blu-ray with grain present , looks awesome as its originality is retained compared to movie in theater. |

Who want to change the UK BBC Life with my US BBC Life, kindly PM me. (I know suppose at WTS thread, but I don't want to open this because of such request).
I want UK edition, as I want all my BBC in same size, now it look awful due to that US BBC Life packaging is taller than others. Beside this, all my BBC is UK edition except this Life. Haizz.....  Appreciate anyone that could help me.  This post has been edited by Andrewtst: Oct 5 2011, 04:00 PM |
