Video Likes | A sharp image with black blacks, white whites and strong colors. |
Video Dislikes | Fuzzy images and incorrect aspect ratio. Grain, pixelization, and the NTSC 3:2 pulldown |
Audio Likes | Big surround use, and a strong subwoofer. A strong signal. |
Audio Dislikes | Weak sound where the sound lets down the image on screen. |
Favourite DVDs | Fight Club, Moulin Rouge, True Lies, Star Wars: Episode I, Hannibal, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon |
Least Favourite DVDs | Big Momma's House- it has Martin Lawrence in it doesn't it?!? |
Most Eagerly Awaited DVDs | Back To The Future Trilogy, Lord Of The Rings, Raiders of the Lost Ark |
Titanic | I really liked Titanic at the cinema. I got caught up in all the hype and hysteria and had a great time. The disc however....lets wait and see if we get another version one day. |
The Matrix | One of the turning points in my cinema life. I mean, how can a Keanu Reeves film that had Damien from 'Home and Away' in it be any good?...huh?... - man was I in for a shock! Brilliant visionary film-making. The DVD is a perfect reminder of what we spend all our money on. |
Terminator 2 | Saw it at Doug and Don Feast's 13th Birthday and immediately loved it. One of those classic films that is a landmark in terms of technology and the way it excited both the young and the older audiences. The R1 'Ultimate Edition' is one of the best discs you can buy. |
Star Wars | THE film of my childhood. I am happy to see it is still kicking goals 25 years later. So far, the DVDs have been outstanding. |
Godzilla | Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin should never be allowed to set foot within 5 miles of a film set. Enough said. Unfortunately, the DVD is of the highest quality. |
Independence Day | See 'Godzilla'. |
