This excellent move spans Ray Charles life from the time he was a ...

Love The High Def Despite Issues
Though there are somethings that could have made this better, such as more extras in HD, it simply does not take away from what this is - two great movies that look steller. These are also worthwhile having in your collection, because (for me) Tartino's movies usually become better when watching a second or third time. Pulp Fiction was one like that for me - I thought it was okay when I ...

A brilliant animated movie!
In China, a lazy and fat yet lovable Panda named Po (Voiced by Jack Black) is a daydreamer who dreams of being a warrior and joining with the famed Furious Five. Of course it's all pipedreams for him as he works with his unsusual dad (Voiced by James Hong) who serves noodles, but one day as the great masters ChiFu (Voiced by Dustin Hoffman) and Oogway (Voiced by Randull Duk Kim) wants to choose ...

Great eye candy
Although it took some getting used to seeing the autobots as GM vehicles, I love this movie. Can't wait to see the sequel!

Must Have !! One of the best original series from HBO
I had purchased the DVD version of Band of Brothers after I saw a few episodes from my roommates' DVD set. I was blown away with the story and the amazing script. The moment I realized that they were coming out with the Blu Ray version I promptly sold my DVD version and pre-ordered this set on Amazon. The advantages over the DVD version are as follows 1. 1080p full HD quality 2. DTS Surround ...

Brendan Fraser, Josh Hutcherson

New Line Home Video, 2008

Best 3-D Image for Home Theatre so far
I know a little bit about 3-D and 'Journey' is the the best I've seen for current home systems. Using colored lenses that use tints that are more 'opposite on the color wheel; the picture seperates better. Not perfect, but better than most and of course the picture neutralizes; but you got a 3-D movie in the house! The Dolby track needs to be turned up to compensate for the lack of HD track as ...

This is Sparta!!!!
Man this movie rocks! I first saw it in an IMAX theatre and was blown away by the visual effects and the action. It's one of the best action movies i've seen in years and looks/sounds really good in HD. Truely a movie for everyone except kids. Ladies get to look at dudes with six-pack abs and guys get to see their heads get cut off.

4 1/2 Stars for Blu-ray
I am personally not a fan of The Godfather Part III, I don't even regard it as part of the trilogy. This review is only for Parts I-II. These films have been restored to what Paramount claims to be "the best they'll ever look." I agree with them about 95% on this statement. Here's why: On both films (especially Part I), there are a few instances of white specks and minor print defects. ...

It seems I have been waiting my whole life for a Batman movie like this one. I only wish it was the first one. Its very satisfying to see the character done right.

Beautiful Baraka Froze Up 1 Hour and 13 Minutes Into Film?
This is a spectacular film and it by far looks the best of ANY Blu-ray I have seen out there. The high definition is stunning. I think it looks better than "Planet Earth". I bought this disc from Best Buy in Houston Texas on October 28, 2008. I was watching this on my Sony BDP-S500 and when I first put the disc in my machine and it said it "could not read". I opened the tray and re-seated the ...

Nice visual and sound update, but sparse on new features.
At first Firefly was a bittersweet experience for me that ended with much love for the show. You see I was a fan of Dark Angel and Fox in their infinite wisdom replaced my favorite sci-fi television show at the time for this "Firefly" thing. I'm still a sci-fi fan so I watched Firefly. By the end of that premier episode (which ironically wasn't the first episode... more of Fox's infinite wisdom) ...

I love this nature documentary
Hmmmm....what can I say?...I think Planet Earth is over-rated. I like Galapagos more than Planet Earth. It is shorter (one disc), but the contents are just stunning. The HD quality of this disc is of a higher level than Planet Earth-it is simply marvelous and breathtaking. In terms of video quality, Planet Earth gets an 8, but Galapagos deserves a 10. The sound quality is awesome; the narration ...
