Blu-ray Review: Beverly Hills Chihuahua
OH I’ve wanted to do something for quite a while now, compare the Blu-ray Disc (BD) and DVD versions of the same movie to one another. Just to see how the standard DVD would hold up against the BD. Between the higher price for a BD disc and the need for ...

Blu-ray Review: Caligula (1979)
OH With that in mind, let’s start with the visual aspect of Caligula on Blu-ray. The visual quality of Caligula is exactly what you would expect from a movie made 30 years ago. Grafting a movie onto a Blu-ray disc can slightly improve the quality of the ...

The Blu-ray disc features the movie in brilliant color and sharpness in 1080p high definition and widescreen (1.85:1). If you have a surround sound system, the movie sound is absolutely fantastic in uncompressed 5.1 surround sound.

Blu-ray Game Review: Dragon's Lair
The Blu-ray port of this arcade phenomenon does have a couple "firsts" however - you get a full 5.1 audio mix, and the first taste of the BD-J (Blu-ray Java) capabilities. BD-J allows for picture-in-picture video commentary (a feature HD DVD has enjoyed for some time now).
