DVD Verdict: HD DVD

Fletch (HD DVD)

2008-05-23

Reviewed by Christopher Kulik
Quote: "Chase is the whole show with his endless, sarcastic one-liners and dodo-bird physical comedy."

August Rush (HD DVD)

2008-04-28

Reviewed by Christopher Kulik
Quote: "Some of the dialogue just made me cringe, like when Terrence Howard's character says 'There's a whole world out there with millions of wind chimes.' Naturally, I predicted that wind chimes would appear later in the film."

Beowulf (HD DVD)

2008-03-15

Reviewed by David Johnson
Quote: "Inventive and exciting, Beowulf shines as a film and shines even brighter in high-definition."

No Reservations (HD DVD)

2008-03-04

Reviewed by Ben Saylor
Quote: "The fact that much of the action unfolds in the kitchen of a fancy restaurant adds some zest to the proceedings, but all the artfully prepared dishes in the world can't hide this movie's by-the-numbers screenplay."

In The Valley Of Elah (HD DVD)

2008-03-03

Reviewed by Ryan Keefer
Quote: "While this might be a message film, the message is about the ravages of war on soldiers who served in Iraq. The legalities for invasion, the war for oil, and all that rhetoric is disposed of and at the core is a movie that deserves to be seen and heard regardless of ideology."

American Gangster (HD DVD)

2008-02-19

Reviewed by Ryan Keefer
Quote: "When the format war makes me want to recommend a standard definition, day and date release over its high definition counterpart, I've pretty much seen everything."

The Invasion (HD DVD)

2008-02-19

Reviewed by Ben Saylor
Quote: "The film lulls you into thinking, 'Hey, this is all right,' then it jacks you in the face with a patently ridiculous ending."

Ocean's Trilogy (HD DVD)

2008-02-09

Reviewed by David Johnson
Quote: "Apart from the major narrative misstep in the second film, this is a trilogy that is fun. Fun, fun, fun."

White Noise 2 (HD DVD)

2008-02-09

Reviewed by Kent Dixon
Quote: "No matter what your views and beliefs are about life after death and the existence of EVP as proof of communication with the dead, there's no denying that White Noise 2 is a chilling tale that leaves you thinking and possibly sleeping with the lights on."

Elizabeth: The Golden Age (HD DVD)

2008-02-05

Reviewed by Gordon Sullivan
Quote: "But even as it fails, the film's script fails big, throwing in three of the larger personalities of the middle part of Elizabeth's reign: Mary Stuart, Walter Raleigh, and Phillip II."
