| 2. |  | The Phantom of the Opera [HD DVD]
from Warner Home Video
Customer Review:
The movie is well done and follows the classic essence of the Phantom of the Opera.
The picture is amazing on my Samsung 52" LCD.
The major shortcoming is the lack of Dolby True HD audio option in the menu setup. (Or DTS Master) It appears that all I could manage was normal DD 5.1. So... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Besides the movie itself (which is very good), Dreamgirls is beautifully reborn on BD.

I love this HD DVD and play it frequently! I just purchased my first plasma, and the picture of Nature's Colors was so clear...beautiful scenery and sharp colors.

from R&B Films
Price: $17.99
Customer Review:
I bought the Blu-ray version after having watched Baraka in the same format.
This is a far worse transfer then Baraka, the image is shows alot of grain and other film artifacts, alot of viewers will literally be able to see the film running, since alot of it is timelapse based it will give you... more info | 3.0 / 5.0

| 7. |  | Tim Burton's Corpse Bride [HD DVD]
from Warner Home Video
Customer Review:
This is a brilliant film but Burton/Elfman/Depp. The animation is astounding, the music is catchy and riveting, and the overall atmosphere is creepy and beautiful. The only problem I had with this was that it was a bit too short: just less than 80 minutes. It could've been a bit better if there were... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

from Euroarts
Price: $35.99
Customer Review:
Euroarts has released a production that is arguably the best yet of this genre- but I would like to hear better. The soundtrack is delightful. TrueHD has finally been shown off here. You should be playing this performance back on a large surround-sound system at reference volume. The sound is as... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

Opus Arte deliver yet another solid disc where the sublime classic A Midsummer Night's Dream is treated with a VC-1 encode and 1080i transfer. An incredibly difficult to stage ballet A Midsummer Night's Dream is comprised of different musical items linked in a specific manner making it danceable. As... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

Price: $41.49
Customer Review:
My comments will be focused on the HD-DVD version of this ballet. First of all Nureyev is not dancing in this ballet. I think the Ad is somewhat deceiving. The principle dancers are Agnes Letestu and Jose Martinez. They are excellent dancers.
The only reason I did not give this production a... more info | 3.0 / 5.0
