Re: New HD-DVD Reviews - BEOWULF, and ASSASSINATION OF JESSE JAMES (by Eddie)

The trailer for Beowulf looked pretty amazing. I sure hope the film isn't painfully slow like Beowulf and Grendel though. I just caught that one on satellite the other day and that was horrible.

Hey Eddie - yeah, Ralph Nader is actually 'cool'. My brother also has voted for him too. He's definitely is serious in his convictions concerning wasteful government spending [unlike Pres Bush], and corporate 'bondage' on various financial issues affecting consumers.

Enough of that. OK, we are all looking forward (also) to your forthcoming review of AMERICAN GANGSTER. And I like how 'neat' your site looks (appearance).

Note to everyone: Eddie also has many reviews here on the DVDTOWN archives. Oh, and he's friend with Tim Raynor, who we all know is the message board's BEST ASSET.

"american gangster" will have to wait as i want to review "michael clayton" first.

however, here's the lowdown on "american gangster":
1) if you want extras, then buy the two-disc or three-disc sd dvds.

2) if you don't mind watching the extended version in sd video, then buy the hd dvd as the hd dvd side only has the theatrical version (which is the director's cut anyway).

Yeah, critics are praising MICHAEL CLAYTON as a possible Best Picture winner. Will look forward to seeing that review first then. [also available on Blu-ray, being a Warner release].

-LH (The Loverboy)

i'm reviewing the sd dvd as i don't have a blu-ray player. besides, you know how i feel about blu-ray.

by the way, could you please use your name/middle name/nickname? i don't really want to call you love_hendrix or loverboy any more.

Why not? Aren't you a movie reviewer? Of course I generally assume that people who review movies actually like movies in general too...

But Eddie, YOU were the one who gave me the nickname 'Loverboy'

Ok... just call me JIMI... as in JIMI HENDRIX

(or one of my other alias, RUSTY).

skyhawk,

while i get dvds/hd dvds from media companies, i have to buy hardware with my own money. even a $400-PS3 is about two-thirds of my monthly rent. i'm not blowing hard-earned money on bricks.

Well Eddie, not to rub it in but you did buy an HD DVD player, did you not?

btw, skyhawk, john tells me that a few months back, you tried to argue that hd dvd has excessive edge enhancement with regards to "harry potter 5".

guess what? dvdbeaver's editor actually used screenshots from the BLU-RAY because warner uses identical VC-1 encodes for dual-format releases. therefore, you were proving that the BLU-RAY has edge enhancement.

(laughs at another blu-ray chode)
