Home Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

reminiscent of SACD, n'est pas?

I don't have blu-ray, but I have been playing with HD content on my HD computer monitor. It is stunningly impressive. I have the DVD set of BBC's Planet Earth series, and the HD versions I obtained of some episodes simply blows the DVDs away.

But the quantity of movies on this format is quite limited. In truth, once I've seen a movie in a theater, I'm not that anxious to see it at home anytime soon. I used DVDs for primarily the great classics that came out before I was born- these are not out on blu-ray. At least not yet.

Nevertheless, once I get an HDTV (thinking about it), I will surely get a blu-ray player. Planet Earth alone is enough for me- and with the format gaining some traction, I think some of the good stuff will start to appear. It was said that Criterion would start releasing blu-rays. OK, I have probably 50 or 75 Criterion DVDs. They do an excellent job, and they choose well (not always, but usually).
