Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay (Blu-ray)

ADVICE: Skip It

This guy actually didn't give the DVD a fair and thorough review, quite evidently in his description of the "Dude, Change the Movie" option. That doesn't allow you to "rearrange scenes," as he said. In at least 4 instances, it leads to different endings to the film, the first being a radical, almost 20 minute completely different Harold & Kumar adventure. It's actually fun to watch if you're a fan of the genre.

I'm not recommending the movie, but this interactive "choose your own adventure"-type of special feature was done much better in this film than in Final Destination 3 and Return to House on Haunted Hill. It wasn't reviewed in the proper context.

U-571 (Blu-ray)
Universal Studios Home Entertainment / 2000 / 117 Minutes / Rated PG-13

PQ: 4.5
AQ: 4.5

I remember watching 'U-571' on HD DVD and thinking it sounded fantastic. This was also before high-res audio became de riguer for next-gen releases. Today, standard Dolby Digital and DTS just don't cut it. Luckily, Universal has upgraded 'U-571' to DTS-HD Lossless Master Audio 5.1 Surround, and it blows away the previous HD DVD. This is a reference-quality mix.

Bottom Line: Give it a Rent!
