Blu-Ray Best Of The Best - for discussing releases only

How do I know if Stephen Fry in America Blu Ray doesn't support Region A as my USA PS3 doesn't tell me.

[JP]

Not sure what you mean? If your PS3 plays it then it is region A, it won't play it if it isn't.

[Salsa Party Animal]

I would thought PS3 would tell you with an error region screen or something.

Disney are re-releasing Beauty and the Beast at some point next year, which i will definetly pick up on release. What day its coming i have no idea.

Beauty and the Beast isn't due until 2010.

We're getting two Platinum Editions a year (March and October), with Pinocchio and Snow White being the 2009 ones. Beauty and the Beast and Fantasia are the 2010 releases.

I agree with Lyris about it desperately needing a decent edition, though. The DVD looks so bad.

We need Jungle Book, that would be awesome!

What was along with Sleeping Beauty this year then? That looks amazing.

Bought a load of Blu Rays in town today:

Godfather Trilogy
Zodiac
Earth
Pans Labyrinth
Departed
Cloverfield.


Watching Earth at the moment, fantastic picture quality.

I watched Sleeping Beauty last night I'm in awe of what quality Disney have managed to make of the source material. Absolutely stunning colour and until I saw it like this I had no idea of the amazing background artwork in this film.

Absolutely breathtaking from start to finish and I think I just sat there from start looking star struck by what they'd done. I really can't wait for the next Disney platinum release.

Picked up Batman & Batman Returns today and even in comparison to the original 1966 film these must be the campest films ever produced. They did have the **** Batman films in stock too but I'm really not seeing any reason to get those.

How do the two Batman films look in HD? Worth a purchase over the DVDs?

[ezee ryder]

Ooo yes I would like to know how Batman looks on Blu-Ray, please. Play.com have it for £12.99, am tempted to pick it up.

Can't check now but I'll skip through them later and post when I get the chance.

I said more or less the same thing the other day in what movies have you watched thread. Pinocchio is out in march, can't wait to see what they accomplish in that.

Well, I bought the first one yesterday and watched it this afternoon. It's a definite improvement over the Special Edition released three (I think) years ago, and well worth £12.99 to upgrade. It looks its best when the cinematography is bright and there are close-ups of faces - there were times when I thought that the SFX shots weren't too great, but I'm beginning to take that as a given for some older Blu-Ray releases.

I'd say Batman is one of the better 1980s films I've seen on blu-ray, but don't expect Blade Runner or 2001 - it hasn't been given *that* much love!

On another note - apparently, the UK Blu-Ray of Batman Returns is the uncut version, which has never been released over here. Also £12.99 on Play....

I wasn't especially blown away by it watching the "supposed" HD trailer of it featured on the Ratattouie blu-ray - they were apparently advertising the BR release but it just looked like standard to me, as did the one on the US PSN.
