I got mine last week, and I live in the US also:

Hulk--------Departed
Firewall--------Blood Diamond
Full Metal Jacket---------Serenity
Troy Unrated--------Troy Unrated
Italian Job----------Italian Job

Good trade offs IMO, as Departed and Blood Diamond are superior movies to Hulk, and Firewall, and were not available through the rebate offer. I would have rather gotten FMJ, but Serenity was an excellent movie as well. I consider this as a turn of good luck for me :-)

Well jeez... at least Toshiba has a better taste in movies than you guys do and corrected your mistakes! *kidding*

I got everything I ordered. Pitch Black, Charlie, Black Rain, Aeon Flux, and Rattle & Hum. Must be a Canada vs. U.S. thing, though those are very decent substitutions.

Ordered - Received

Aeon Flux - Aeon Flux
Black Rain - Black Rain
Frighteners - Cinderlla Man (gross)
Swordfish - Swordfish
Hulk - Jarhead (worse than Hulk IMO)


Man I wish I would have got The Departed or Blood Diamond. Now I wanted to get Full Metal Jacket instead of Swordfish but Warner made a new version so I'd rather get that one. It makes me wonder if I should have ordered that one then maybe I'd get the new version. Jarhead and Cinderlla man suck big time.

"Cinderella Man," with Russell Crowe as heavyweight champion James Braddock, was a terrific picture--part moving human drama and part exciting fight picture. It's a real-life "Rocky," with one of Crowe's better, more restrained performances and a fine eye for period, Depression-Era details from director Ron Howard.

Jarhead is really good!!

At least we've been getting our movies...which is good...

Cinderella Man is one of my favorite movies ever. I really don't like Russell Crowe but man he was really good in this movie. Even my GF who doesn't like Crowe or a boxing movie was almost in tears with this movie.

I'm so glad I saw this movie as it puts things into perspective for me when I need a reminder of how much worse things could be, especially when you have kids to think about.

What do you expect from Toshiba, who's HD DVD division is defunct (Did I spell that correctly?) You are lucky that you did'nt get Santa Claus Vs. The Martians or Old Yeller. LOL

Hey, now, how can somebody not like "Old Yeller"? (Not that we'll see it in HD any time soon).
