News
Further to yesterday's news regarding the release of The Lost World and Jurassic Park. DVD Angle have given the DTS versions of these releases a complete pasting, noting that it's sound is not as good as the Dolby Digital version. Now I'm all for a choice of sound formats on DVD as long as they don't remove something to compensate. So it's good to see that we in Region 4 will be getting the superior Dolby Digital versions with all the features.

With only a few weeks until the Dinosaurs from Jurassic Park are released onto DVD, the Jurassic Park web site is now live. To view it click here. It's also interesting to note that the cover artwork has not changed much from the R1 artwork which is a pity as they don't look all that good:-(

Press Releases
Columbia/Tri-Star will be releasing Gladiator on DVD in December, most notably is the fact that it will contain both Dolby Digital 5.1 as well as a DTS 5.1 soundtrack, certainly a lot of people here in Australia will be happy. Hopefully it will be a trend that other distributor's will follow. There are also press releases for Columbia's November horror titles and standard releases also. The press releases section has been updated.

It's plain to see that we have come far since DVD was launched.

New Reviews
I have finally completed my review of the R1 edition of Terminator 2: The Ultimate Edition. It's a sensational disc and it's a shame that probably won't be released in R4.

I'm looking at the final few extras from the long awaited T2: Ultimate Edition DVD when I get a knock at the door. It's the courier with my brand new MIB: Limited Edition set. So now I don't have 1 huge review to bring you, now it's 2!!!!! No rest for the wicked. Look for them really soon.
