The rest are not worth buying on standard DVD, much less BRay.

I actually liked Cloverfield a lot, but it was quite polarizing. My wife summed it up well--if you thought it was about a monster, you were going to be disappointed. But if you want to see how "normal" everyday people deal with an inconceivable disaster, you'll enjoy it. ]]>Jun 2nd 2008 5:17PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/06/02/blu-ray-releases-on-may-27th-2008/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/06/02/blu-ray-releases-on-may-27th-2008/Jun 2nd 2008 6:38PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/06/02/blu-ray-releases-on-may-27th-2008/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/06/02/blu-ray-releases-on-may-27th-2008/

Boy, who would have thought prior to CES that we would have all studios finally releasing in the same high-def format by this time? I'm just loving all these new releases. I even love the releases that I don't want to buy, because SOMEBODY out there wants them!]]>Jun 2nd 2008 7:24PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/06/02/blu-ray-releases-on-may-27th-2008/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/06/02/blu-ray-releases-on-may-27th-2008/Jun 2nd 2008 7:38PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/06/02/blu-ray-releases-on-may-27th-2008/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/06/02/blu-ray-releases-on-may-27th-2008/Jun 2nd 2008 11:45PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/06/02/blu-ray-releases-on-may-27th-2008/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/06/02/blu-ray-releases-on-may-27th-2008/
Out of these though I'll probably get Cloverfield as I enjoyed the movie quite a bit and Mr. E's wife is 100% right. The movie is about people first, the monster is just an initiator of tragedy. It was never meant to compete with Godzilla IMO.

I think that there are really some gems here.

Dirty Harry is definitely a must for any movie lover. I'm curious how the transfer is. Bee movie is good family type movie and Cloverfield and There will be Blood are definitely good buys and good movies.

I'm curious to see how NPD numbers look like this week

also wow amazed this was a positive post coming from ya.

but i wouldnt worry about the NPD yet. it may g up slightly or stay the same. give them a year and it wil surly increase as more people buy ps3 systems other bluray players on market today and fall. people buying hd sets. and nextyears cheaper chinese players (although i'm holding out for the mitsubishi 3d player with reald hardware, i wont bu a budget player right now, maybe when i get a 2nd hd set ya)

but even though bluray is selling better than dvd did vs vhs in the same timeframe, blu ray has one thing against it that dvd didn't . people need to buy new tvs and most people are still sd. give it time many people will upgrade when all stores sell are hd sets and they drop in price. in another year or 2 the numbers wil change, will they top dvd jst yet, maybe not, but in a few more years all catalog titles will prob be bluray only, with new release films going blu first then dvd and in some cases just blu.

remember dvd didn't beat vhs til towards the end, and thats mostly because studios were dropping support to give dvd the edge.]]>Jun 3rd 2008 1:39PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/06/02/blu-ray-releases-on-may-27th-2008/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/06/02/blu-ray-releases-on-may-27th-2008/
Here we go again, the bit-rate deluded kiddies strike again.

Looks children, watching the mbps meter on your PS3 (a ludicrous idea of ever there was) says nothing about the quality of the movie when modern codecs produce an excellent image within an 'optimum range' well within the max possible.

......and just for the fun of informing the (obviously) ignorant;
X-Men 3 peaked at 40mbps in 1 or 2 scenes.

I don't see any of you trying tp pretend that that was the "peak" in
movies.

Spec-sheet obsessed idiots, you were made of the PS3/Blu-ray BS.

Lap it up, fools. There's one born every minute.

Too funny.

If you believe that higher bit rate ALWAYS means higher quality than you are an ignorant fool.

It isn't an insult, it is a fact.]]>Jun 4th 2008 8:46AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/06/02/blu-ray-releases-on-may-27th-2008/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/06/02/blu-ray-releases-on-may-27th-2008/
