Paramount/Dreamworks and Universal: "Still supports HD-DVD"


This is an updates on hd-dvd in CES 2008 and this is certainly a good news for hd-dvd. After sadly seing Warner Bros leave hd-dvd and will stop producing hd-dvd till May 2008, Paramount/Dreamworks and Universal decided to support hd-dvd which was announce today at the CES 2008. Im really happy and glad about this. Paramount and Universal has been making great hd-dvd movies such as King Kong and the Bourne trilogy. These year great movies by Paramount are Iron-Man and by Universal are Indiana Jones. Cant wait for those 2 movies to be on hd-dvd.

Cheers.

Warner Bros goes Blu-ray exclusive, New Line and HBO might follow

I was sad after hearing the news today that Warner Bros (WB) will be going Blu-ray exclusive and that New Line Cinema and HBO might just tag along with them. If that is true, I will not see Lord of the Rings trilogy and The Dark Knight both coming out on hd-dvd. This kinda sux because I am looking forward to the LOTR trilogy on hd-dvd. I guess I will be getting my Playstation 3 (PS3) sooner than I thought.

More news and future for the hd-dvd format will be announce at the CES 2008 convention happening this coming Sunday in Los Angeles.

Will update when I get more news on this.

Cheers

Aliens vs Predator: Requiem (review)


Note: There are some minor spoilers only.

Just came back home after watching Aliens vs. Predator 2: Requiem ... some ppl called it AvP:R at The Summit USJ THX cinema. Honestly .. IMHO, the movie was dissapointing from the start of the movie, the action was so-so and the storyline was bad. Each scene in the movie was so short, one scene was like around 15 secs and then it will skip to another scene and wise versa. It does not have a consisted flow. The acting was crap all the way ... its like talk for a few seconds and then action all the way. Im more into a storyline person. Another bad thing about this movie is the action, Predator .. a one man army against a dozen or more Aliens is abit impossible. The Hybrid Alien (Predalien ... thats what ppl calls it) was an all in one super alien, he or she is exactly a Predator, Alien and almost a Alien Queen when she started to lay eggs into humans. My frens calls it she-male alien. LOL.

In the movie, there are some teenagers who know how to use shotgun and machine guns where they seem to be an expert in using em ... where's the logic in that, they just go into a shop .. started grabbing those guns and starts blasting away those Aliens like they are so used to it and there this one time, a pizza delivery boy know how to give head shots with a machine gun. Lasly, the Hybrid and Predator end fight was cut short with a BOOM .. and that it .. they both just died.

The best part is the censorship board did not managed to censored all the "F" words in time. Thats was fun. Btw, dont get me wrong, the action scene has its moments, its just that the storyline which i do not enjoyed it. I would recommend, just watch it once and thats it, unless ur a fan of Aliens and Predator.

Lastly ... there will be a Aliens vs. Predator 3.

My rating:
Storyline - 4/10 stars
Action - 6/10 stars
Overall - 4/10 stars

Even the movie was not that good, I still got this from my fren ...



Its a Hybrid alien (Predalien) statue. It looks good next to my Master Chief helmet in my room.

HD DVD batch #1 arrives


Finally my batch of hd dvd's has finally arrives from Amazon, thanks goes to Zerg for helping me out. Met with him at 1U yesterday and collected it. Was at Starbucks 1U enjoying my iced Caremel Machiato (opps .. dunno if the spelling is correct LOL) with Chicken Fingers Sandwich and Blueberry Snow Donut. Then my stomach did not feel so good ... might be the coffee cuz i drank 2 venti size in a row. LOL.

Anyway decided to hang around at GH (Gamers Hideout) and was so close on getting COD4 (Call of Duty 4) but decided to pass it up till next time.

Got back home to my apartment around 5.30pm, abit sleepy cuz did not slept since last nite, so ... i slept for like 1 hour and could not sleep anymore. That nite, I was eager to watch Superman Returns hd dvd .. and so i did. The PQ (Picture Quality) is good but still can see some film grains on the darker parts of the movie. The lighting is simply fantastic. Its a good film transfer to hd dvd.

Tonight, I think i will be watching Batman Begins.

2 great movies back to back


When out with Jaz and his frens to watched I am Legend and National Treasure: Book of Secrets back 2 back. We watched it at The Summit USJ. To bad that I am Legend was not on the THX cinema but National Treasure: Book of Secrets were. Both are good movies but I am Legend was kinda fast but entertaining. I would recommend watching it. Damn tired and sadly I have to get back to work.


See what I bump into while surfing the net ...
