Being the space fan I am, I picked up the Blu-Ray edition of the IMAX films The Dream is Alive/Blue Planet. The picture quality going from IMAX to Blu-Ray is amazing! Next month, the Blu-Ray editions of Mission to Mir/Space Station and Destiny in Space/Cosmic Voyage are to be released.

I remember watching The Dream Is Alive at Cape Canaveral a few years back. The print didn't look terribly good, but it was still an experience.

Considering how good Planet Earth looks in Blu-Ray, I can only imagine how good an IMAX film looks on it. Hopefully they use the IMAX print of The Dark Knight for the HD Transfer.

Boston Legal - Season 4.

Can't wait to get some crazy- Crane antics going.

[PrinceKamalKhan]

Jubal. Classic Western a/k/a "Othello on the Range". Stars Glenn Ford, one of the best movie cowboys of all time, and Ernest Borgnine, Rod Steiger, and Felicia Farr(Mrs. Jack Lemmon).

The Godfather: The Coppola Restoration Collection Blu-Ray

Same here. With all due respect to the Bond series, The Godfather is my all-time favorite film and the best film of all time IMO.

Indeed. My favorite Hitchcock film of all time. What did you think of the ending they used for countries outside the U.S.?

The single last DVD I bought was....

Bloodrayne 2: Deliverance.

[00Twelve]

Didn't actually buy, but a nice lady who always comes into Starbucks and chats it up with all the staff decided that she needed to get rid of some movies, and gave me the first two Bourne movies. What a sweet lady! Yeah, they're full screen, but beggars can't be choosers, dontchaknow. I'm delighted.

My darling wife pre-ordered CR (Collector's edition) for me today.

This evening, I finally gave in and bought the 30th Anniversary edition of Jaws, even though I'm still disgusted that such a famous film has never gotten the dignity of a director, actor, or even producer commentary. It's in my top 5 fave films, and I just couldn't hold out.

CSI Las Vegas Season 2

Just busy watching Season 1 at the moment and loving it, and I've bought the second run ready for when I finish the first. The episode "Unfriendly skies" is my favourite, for any fan interested to know. Can't believe I didn't get into this years ago.

[Judo chop]

I am going to buy the new cool and ultra-royale editions of COOL HAND LUKE and CASINO ROYALE.

I'll buy THE DARK KNIGHT when that comes aroud. When does it come around again?

Seems like there was generally nothing good released on DVD the past two months or so (with the obvious exception here and there), and now October hits and everything's coming!

Bought/got as gift:

Psycho - Universal Legacy Series
Vertigo - Universal Legacy Series

[Harmsway]

The Happening

I've only heard terrible things about that one, even from the most hardcore Shyamalan fanatics. What were your thoughts, Q?

I bought 2 Australian comedy DVDs:-


Thank God you're here series 2 - the best show on TV, the brilliant improvisation show.


Summer Heights High - the comedy phenomenon of 2007.

Took me five years to get into it. Really is a fantastic show, isn't it?

Robot Chicken - Star Wars Special

A bud got this for me as a birthday gift. Really is pretty hilarious. The Palpatine/Vader phone conversation is, of course, one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

The Happening

I've only heard terrible things about that one, even from the most hardcore Shyamalan fanatics. What were your thoughts, Q?

Haven't gotten a chance to watch it on DVD yet, but I figured I'd pick it up since I'm still a relatively loyal Shyamalan fan (despite the turn-off that was Lady in the Water) and it was quite cheap.

The Happening... it's possibly even more difficult to classify (which is no easy thing considering the obtuse mess that Lady is). I'm probably in the minority for not being totally turned off by it, as seemingly everyone else was this summer. I really appreciate his effort of going back to a relative scarefest that worked so well in Sixth Sense and Signs, but the problem I felt during the theatre viewing was that the script was a little too flimsy to support his vision. The plot is an intriguing idea, but it just never comes to the forefront.

Again, judging from the theatrical viewing only: I didn't hate the film. If you ask me, it's an improvement over Lady, but not as grabbing as his first four thrillers, all of which I really enjoy.

I'm hoping a few DVD viewings will bring out the good in this film that's hiding in there somewhere. We'll see.

Yeah this is pretty awesome, with occasional hilarious early 70s "groovy" moments. Great early appearance from Christopher Walken too - "I don't like violence, man!"
