cheers! | I watche aeon flux and that totally blew me away! It was ACE! I have heard the hulk was one of the best but ordered it and thought it was a bit grainy?
I also watched goblet of fire and thought it was good but now "WOW". I like this review site myself.
Also I have heard Riddick is supposed to be ACE but I don't like the directors cut and I already have it twice in my DVD collection (DC and normal) So I don't think I will be adding it soon.

well its not visually stunning but i enjoyed kiss kiss bang bang, funny with good extras and it does look good.
Goodfellas looks great, and well worth getting if like me you had one of the old flip disc versions.
Really ive just been buying films i liked or want too see, had a brief look at training day earlier and quality looks ace, is a good film too. Just go to amazon/play or who ever and flick through their selection.
If you want stuff thats not out here yet (ie us stuff) is used movietyme for the first time recently, they say on the site it could take upto 2 weeks but i got my 3 films in 3 days.

Serenity is probably the most impressive out of the ones i've got.
Anybody know any good 1:85:1 HD DVD films? all mine so far are 2:35:1 and letterboxed to mantain the aspect ratio.

Just watched Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and must agree a very good film (you need to concentrate a little though).
I think KK looks almost too good the CGI is really obvious, although it was pretty obvious on the standard DVD also, the TREX fight with Naomi is an example of this.

Not always the best movies but certainly agree with the majority on pq. It'll save you from wasting money on the stinkers out there.
