step into the blu
Mood:  happy
just a word of note. I finally ordered my long delayed blu-ray player this morning. should be getting here sometime next week. at least I have eight 8 HD films to enjoy. it is also possible I will picking up casino royale, and open season this month.( dependong on funds). but eventually I will pick up these titles as well as departed, and prestige in the upcoming months. now my mission is to pick up a replacement dvd recorder since my old one died and also an external dvd burner for my pc, in April.
so at least I have some interesting HD titles to purchase in the following months.

god bless and have a great weekend!

no blu for me this month!!!!
Now Playing: american dreamz, blondie live 1999
due to unforseen changes, the blu-ray player will be delayed until march. with other expensives this month, this will have to wait. this is sad news to me, cause i planning on it, this month, but hopefully i'll be able to order one next pay day. this undoubtly, will also move the dvd recorder i plan to buy till april/along with a dvd butner for my pc. untill then regulary dvd will do fine untill then. i'll be getting alot more titles this month on dvd,so will report back untill then.while many people are enjoying blu-ray i will have to wait a bit more. will blu be in march? i plan on, and as always will post when i get one next month. so this means i will have to wait 32 days till hi- def, i'm excited. but the timing will be much better cause i get casino royalethe new james bond film hopefully in march so hopefully i'll be able to enjoy my blu- player and test its featuures out. have a good weekend!!!

hello, film lovers, just a short notice, to say. I watched texas chainsaw masscre: the beginning, and you and me and dupree.

next month, I begin the descent in to blu-ray, as i will be purchasing,finally a blu-ray player.look for film ratings for movies in the upcoming months. and depending on the weather, pop in a few good movies and and some popcorn, it will do you good.

word of note: roger eberts upcoming book, your movie sucks will be released next month. I will eventually get my copy sometime in may.hopefully, i will get to see more reviews from him shortly, he has not been submitting reviews for his website, but he has posted a note regarding hos condition. I wish him all the best, is not the same without him, contributing to his website and his tv show.

hello film lovers,
wilth the christmas season upoun us, I won't have anything to report intill early into the new year. I have however,joined a dvd rental, which marks my third time in the dvd rental era. so, I be able to review alot more titles, instead of buying alot. I also will be watching black christmas sometime next year, in anticpation for the remake this year, which i will see when it hits dvd/blu-ray.

I have decided to get back to online renting, cause i just dont have the room to keep buying movies. plus ,most of you know I will be purchasing a blu-ray player in feb-march of next year. plus I plan to get some more blu-ray titles. you can look for my reviews od black diahlia, hollywood land, material girls,superman returns in early next yea among others. and as always, since i dont have a blu-ray player just yet, the blu-ray titles i do have and will get will have to wait, and you be seeing my reviews on those when the times comes for me to actually enjoy my player to enjoy them on.
as always feel free to leave me a comment, or e-mail with any questions, and have a wonderous joyous hoilday and new year!!!

P.s. I have been prurusing roger eberts yearbook 2007, and find alot of good stuff, i wish it was consisted with his video companion yearbook editions. which makes having his other editions of home video compion pretty handy,and the old editions of cinemania on cd-rom, pretty priceless. i still use my copy as i have for over ten years.and although i upgraded to cinemania 97 a few weeks ago,i will still use my cinemania 96 cd-rom, until i get the new 1997 out of date edition. hopefuly the video clips presenstation will be better in the 97 edition. i am disappointed in the video window box in the 1996 edition, you can't enlarge the clip; at least in the 1994, 1995 editions you could. a word of note, some video clips are big boxed while others in thier oar are tiny in thier video box. at least make it so you can see it where its better viewing, at least in previous editions you could enlarge the video box to fill half the screen, here on most of them, you need a magnifying glass to enlarge so you can see whats happen. whoever designed the 1996 edition,should have included an option to enlarge the video box!!. anyway, keep on watching!

just a quick note saying. hope everyone is getting toward christmas and have a good christmas. see my blog next year.

during that time, i will be enjoying my copy of roger eberts 2007 yearbook, and other dvds i will be getting this month.

Merry christmas and a happy new year!

well,is another month to be had. in another it will be christmas. will starting shopping tommow.

looks like it will be an interesting year, to end 2006 in the way of film releases. first, superman returns will be heading to both dvd,hd-dvd, and blu( i'll be getting it on blu) this month. still stocking up on blu-ray titles, so when i do get blu- i can enjoy them.
p3 makes it way this month, if you can get one that is.another console system most people probably wont get this year.hilary duff's new film,material girl hits dvd next month. i'm still waiting to see if its released ob blu. some titles that have been annouced for blu are, alien vs. preadtor,courage under fire(mine pick this up,but the blu-ray price is pretty steep.)i might have to settle for ebay for a cheaper price or get the dvd. its a good film if you havemt seen this meg ryan film.) x-men 3, a christmas story,scooby doo-the movie(ok, but not something i'll get on blu anyways)and the chevy chase christmas vacation film.
interesting selection. but foc charges alot for thier blu-ray titles, it should be 20.00 for them. some titles you dont want to see in hi-def,other you want to, and if the price is right. there quite some blu ray that can be had for 20.00 right now. you can now order superman returns on blu for 23.99 before it comes out. saw 3 is sheduled to be released 1-23-07 on dvd,and blu-ray. i'll be getting my copy on regular dvd, and the fourth film american pie arrives in december from universal pictures next month. i'll wait for a discount sale. dont need to pick it up right away.
set aside from the blu-ray releases, there will be tough competion come this christmas with playstation 3 and blu-ray i see how it pans out, i know its going to be choas, but it is interesting. i'm sure I will see more blu-ray player drop in prices mid next year. untill then, i do often check ebay for one, so i'm happy about that.2007 should prove to me very interesting for hi-def.

Universal pictures plans to not support Blu
according to many dvd web forums and pc mag, and many others. I have learned today that Universal pictures plans to NOT release movies on the new format blu-ray,instead focusing to release on hd-dvd instead. this news is disappointing to say the least, but at least I can get titles on dvd, that are not on blu-ray. I would print the article here, but you can find it at various dvd forums elsewhere and at pcmag.com and abcnews.com

hopefully, unviersal will change its views in 2007 and start the roll out on blu-next year,maybe by then they will sing of blu-ray praises.
good news for those who are hd-dvd loyalist. it dont phase me much,since i will buy universal dvds,until they support the new format,which they may or may not support. i'll will keep you posted at this developes. untill then. have a great weekend everybody!!!!!
