Movie Reviews of Die Another Day [Blu-ray]Movie Review: Beware if you own Sharp BD HP20U Summary: 2 Stars
The Blu-Ray Die Another Day would not play on my Sharp BD HP20U. Checking the web, I suspect that I need to upgrade my firmware.
I am still trying to do this, which requires downloading a file from Sharp onto a USB drive, then going through a procedure with the player, involving a little USB slot on the back of the machine. Unfortunately, I have not yet been able to do this successfully, although I am still trying. Amazon was kind enough to refund my money, no questions asked. However, after checking internet sites, I note a lot of comments about the need to upgrade firmware to deal with incompatibilities with certain discs, and the fact that some people have trouble doing so. The process on a Sharp BD-HP20U is not very easy, I am technically probably more savvy than most, but you almost have to be Fully Qualified Geek to upgrade firmware. This is definitively something these companies need to improve. If you do the upgrade wrongly, you can render your player into a useless non functioning pile of junk. Die Another Day (James Bond) [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: For people curious about the BLURAY version Summary: 2 Stars
First off I had to do a firmware upgrade just to play the movie.
Two stars given because the movie is so good.
I would give it one for the bluray disc.
There isnt one scene minus the opening titles that stands out clearity.
I had high hopes for this bluray.
MGM usually has a fantastic bluray disc. Just look at "FROM HELL".
This IS NOT a crystal clear picture.
This looks as good as any other dvd copy.
There is black static throughout. You can notice it in the background. Its the actual copy of the film. This wasnt remastered for bluray.
I am a huge supporter of blu but when a movie comes out and its a waste of your money I will review, I.E. The Italian Job remake. HORRIBLE.
Like I said. No need to spend money on this double dip. It is not a crystal clear version.
Movie Review: Hows this 007 flick get Blu-Ray before Goldeneye? Summary: 2 Stars

Movie Review: James BOMBED... Summary: 1 Stars
Wow. This was cinematic vomit for sure. I saw Quantum of Solace earlier tonight and it was kickarse. Since this was on TV I decided to watch it since there was nothing else... and boy, this movie SUCKED!!!!!! Worst 007 movie ever. There's so many bad things about the movie I'm not even kidding. Such as:
- The Gunbarrel opening scene- stupid bullet and the calypso version of the theme...
- That god-awful Madonna song... Techno and Bond do NOT mix!
- Halle Barry. Wasted actress. She was AWFUL as a Bond girl. Sure she was hot, but she was AWFUL.
- CG CG everywhere... I'm not lying, this is the most godawful CG-laden film I've ever seen. The plane??? The scorpions??? That car???
- The stupid vanishing car.
- LAME WRITING. I don't think I've ever met someone named "Mr. Kil"
- The lair looked like a disco with lasers everywhere
- As if Madonna's theme wasn't bad enough, her totally pointless cameo. Not only did she suck, but did Tom Jones or Shirley Bassey get a cameo???
There's more I can name, but there's WAY too many...
Movie Review: Trigger discipline. Look at the box cover. Summary: 1 Stars
The A-hole has his finger on the trigger. He is not professional enough to handle a gun.
1. All guns are always loaded (until you establish whether they are or not).
2. Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy. Keep your gun pointed in a safe direction at all times: on the range, at home, loading, or unloading.
3. Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target (and you are ready to shoot).
4. Be sure of your target. Know what it is, what is in line with it and what is behind it. Never shoot at anything that you haven't positively identified.
