Spiderman 1 - 3.75 to 4 star, had its moments of sharpness, audio was really good
Swat - I find this nice pq..pretty sharp. 4 star
Brothers Grimm - to me awesome, crystal clear, sharp. I dont know why some sites dont give this higher reviews. 4.50 to 4.75 pq to me..However will watch it again, fell asleep from the middle part onwards.

The Phantom of the Opera

Video is ok, probably 3 to 4 stars.

Audio, also good but I have to crank up the volume for this one. Not within my regular volume level. Wasn't able to watch this in SD so I can't tell.

Special Features is good too, Sing-a-long feature is cool and funny. :)

Next... Matrix Trilogy HD-DVD, will try to compare with SD.

Cheers!!!

Just watched The Prestige BR - awesome graphics!  Unfortunately, even HD sound did not improve the accent and slurring voice tonality of michael caine and xtian bale.  Well - the plot more than made up for it.  This non-linear plot technique is just mesmerizing.  ;)

Just finished watching 'Deja Vu.'  Denzel with his usual triple-A peformance and a gorgeous newbie (relatively speaking), Paula Patton (from Hitch  ;))

Another semi-non linear plot, very rich story telling by Tony Scott and producer J.Bruckheimer.  Man, the last time this triumvirate combined was during the explosive Crimson Tide.  This movie follows-up on that quality top-notch feel and execution!  ;)  I missed this at the movies but the HD transfer just blew me away - the pores of all the actors were very visible and the audio was amazing!  :)

Spiderman Trilogy!

First time ko manood magisa, walang distractions. was able to take in all details. ganda talaga niya. Favorite story ko Spider-man 2. Pero video quality wise, the best yung spider-man 3.

Re-watched Transformers (HD DVD) after the 2.7 firmware update.  ;D

The difference I noticed is that I no longer have to 'crank' my AVR volume to +3db (unlike before). Didn't notice any difference in video. Megan fox is still HOT!!  :o  :o  :o

For those who skipped the ending credits, you can see a short scene of Starscream flying up to space in afterburners. -a sure sign for the sequel =  Transformers 2!!!

Did an HD  'marathon' yest so was able to watch "WildHogs" in the wee hours.  PQ not as sharp as compared to my earlier viewing of DejaVu but still an entertaining flick.  Failed to watch this in the moviehouses so felt obliged to purchase it.  Had a blast with the witty repartes between the 2 comics and 2 iconic actors.  ;D

Flash Point (Blu-ray) - HK import

An excellent action movie!  PQ and AQ is very good!!  :o  :o

The transfer is clean -didn't notice grains during the movie.

Although, the movie starts slow (with some sporadic action scenes throughout the movie) -  the action scenes/stunts near the end are awesome and are nicely done! The movie also contains some fantastic "panning" and "scenic" shots!

7.1 LPCM will have your system a workout!  ;D The movie is very loud (you will have to turn down the volume)!!

The disc also has some special features but are mostly 480p.

Overall, I like this movie - another demo/ reference disc for me!

Puede bang Blu-Ray/HD DVD torrents?  I've got about 80 hi-def titles and only 20 of them are original (HD DVD).

Anyway latest viewed titles are:

Transformers (Orig): everybody knows how awesome the PQ and AQ are but it's completely popcorn movie (getting old).
Planet Earth (Orig):  Pampa-relax ng isip at diwa.
Heroes (Orig):  Pang-motivate ng isip at diwa
Knocked-Up (1080p, mkv):  Hilarious
Tremors (720p, mkv):  Outstanding PQ for a 17-year old movie
Fifth Element Remastered (720p, mkv):  Sharp, very sharp (well everything looks sharp on a PC anyways)
Destiny's Child (720p, mkv):  Pleasantly surprised how good these ladies sound live.
House, Prison Break, CSI (720p, mkv):  What more can I say?

We Were Soldiers

Nice AQ but find the VQ a bit grainy. Is it really the case even in SD?

Cheers!!!
