DVD Talk is your source for unbiased HD DVD and Blu-Ray Disc Reviews. New Blu Ray reviews include: Hellboy - a significant upgrade in picture and sound from the DVD but not all the extras from the 3 disc DVD are included; Curse of The Golden Flower - another fascinating historical epic from Zhang Yimou with excellent picture and sound quality that will make for fine home theater eye and ear candy; Rescue Me - The Complete Third Season - a season of redemption for the series on a disc whose picture quality is a massive improvement over the broadcast versions. New HD DVD Reviews include: Lost in Translation - a little gem of a movie that blew up into a massive gem of a picture gets a solid release in HD; The Frighteners (Director's Cut) - Ambitious, offbeat, but wildly uneven, The Frighteners is a dated visual effects spectacle; Black X-mas (2006) - the spirit and playfulness of a mid-'80s slasher that is a hell of a lot of fun and a much-needed change of pace from the recent sadistic torture-porn. Read these and over 400 other HD and Blu-Ray Disc Reviews. Also don't miss DVD Talk's HD Talk Column covering all things High-Def.
