I can easily see myself buying quite a few of these slated upcoming titles, especially on March 11th. What are you planning on buying? Thanks in advance!

Appleseed Ex Machina, No Country for Old Men, & Gattaca without a doubt

I'm glad I jumped into Blu during a slow period, makes it easier to play catch up with the currently avail titles I want, which sadly is not many, always felt the BR lineup was weak, at least as far as balance + higher QUALITY movies (I'm not a 20 year old gamer), thankfully Universal and Paramount are on board with Blu now, hopefully things will get better for my taste in releases. So March will be the perfect time to scratch the itch for some new discs by cathing up while waiting, because honestly, the start of the year looks like a bust for new releases, horrendous offering imo so far, only see 2 releases for me in March (Bonnie and Clyde, Ice Age - need another GOOD animated flick already besides Rat), though with the coming Predator and Master And Commander, spring is gonna make up for the slow start!

Haven't looked at the releases yet. But I'll only get movies that really interest me and that I'll enjoy repeat viewings.

I'm interested in a lot of the Fox releases but Fox's track record lately has me concerned that I'll have to wait weeks until the necessary firmware updates get rolled out for the various players before we can watch them.

Definitely:

I, Robot
Gattaca
I am Legend
Independence Day

Possible:

Ice Age - I'm sure this will look great, but I wasn't a huge fan of this one or the sequel. Plus FOX's pricing of catalog titles is ridiculous!

Dogma - Love the movie, but not sure it is worth the upgrade to HD. I'll wait for the PQ reviews before deciding.

No Country for Old Men and Gattaca are must-haves for me. I may get Bonnie and Clyde and DVE. I'll probably get I, Robot at some point, but I usually wait for a sale on most Fox catalog titles.

This will be a busy March for Blu for me after a lackluster first two months of the year. However, that did let me recoup from all the Christmas buying sales and mania. Plus, that gave me the chance to pick up LOST Season 3 and Ocean's Trilogy on Blu-Ray

02-16-08, 08:15 AM
None, well maybe I Robot if the reviews are good.

It will depend on the cash flow as always. Now if I can get past my favorite soundtrack retailers and the next 2 weeks with the release of Film Score Monthly's Blue Box (The complete scores to all 4 of the Chris Reeve Superman films) and Varese Sarabande's next batch of limited editions which are announced shortly after the Oscar broadcast(probably 5 titles definitely including 7 discs).

I will for sure pick up Enchanted and Independence Day(which I have on laserdisc).

I'll probably end up nabbing DVE too. What a great month!

I'm pleased that so many people are planning on picking up No Country. But a word to the wise. The film has almost no sound except dialogue and a few gunshots, the wind should sound good. I dont there is even a soundtrack. It adds alot to the beauty of the film but be warned. You should also know that you will not like the ending(There Will Be Blood does that part better).

My list for March

No Country
Gattaca(Uma in HD!!)
I Robot(If it's less than $15)
ID4(Goldblum is the man)
Enchanted(Dempsey's hair is my idol)
I am Legend(Just to complete Will Smith month)

BTW-Between Yuma, No Country, Jesse James, and There Will be blood there are some really good contemporary westerns available in HD. Friggin cool.

"Which March Releases Will You Buy"

I, Robot and Independence Day. I'll rent No County For Old Men first as I shy away from blind buys.

While I'll be buying March releases, it won't be IN March. After seeing all the deals on Fox titles over the holidays I'm very reluctant to pay more than $20 for a BD. I just picked up The Rock for $15 at BB. All good things come to he who waits.

I urge everyone to restrain themselves until Fox does away with their ridiculous pricing. They've done this with LD, DVD and now BD. I've learned from my mistakes.

I hope I can be patient like you! I too have a hard time justifying the ridiculous prices FOX is charging for their catalog titles, but I don't know if I can wait for I, Robot. I have a feeling it is going to be a truly reference disk. I may hold off on getting Independence Day though until it goes on sale.

Im going to have to take issue with your blanket statement of "You should also know that you will not like the ending" of the Coen brothers No country for old Men.Id like to think that most AVS members are glad the Coen brothers stayed true to the vision of Cormac McCormacs novel and can appreciate that they resisted the urge to end things with a hollywood style shootout or explosion.The ending is haunting and powerful as is.Thank the lord for film makers like the Coen brothers.

I don't plan on buying any unless they have a TruHD track. I can't see buying movies that have DTS-HD, since the players can't play it.

So which of the March crop have TruHD tracks (or possibly 48khz/34bit uncompressed) tracks?

Only Fox and New Line are using DTS-HD MA as of now. The other studios use TrueHD or PCM, though some titles from Warner are Dolby Digital. However, I expect Warner to move to lossless as standard, at least on new releases, when their titles are produced just for BD. Michael Clayton may have been the last one prepared for both (and thus with DD). It remains to be seen what New Line will do now with them being folded into Warner.

I don't know if the specs have been released, but I wouldn't be surprised if Bonnie and Clyde turns out to be DD since it's an older mono film. I wouldn't let this stop me from buying it, but to each his own.
