Here are a few of the reviews I was referring to: (http://fromthefrontrow.blogspot.com/2007/12/review-juno.html> (http://media.www.hofstrachronicle.com/media/storage/paper222/news/2008/02/07/BSection/Ten-Reasons.juno.Destroyed.My.Brain-3192469.shtml (http://www.ruthlessreviews.com/reviews.cfm/id/1395/page/juno.html) - JEJ Mon, 19 May 2008 08:32:48 +0100 http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/media-music-movies-etc/43-movie-reviews/342-secrets-movie-reviews.html#comment-756 What reviews are you reading? It got 81 on Metacritic with several reviews of 100. Probably doesn't change the spirit of your review, however. - JB Mon, 19 May 2008 08:09:29 +0100 http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/media-music-movies-etc/43-movie-reviews/342-secrets-movie-reviews.html#comment-755 I'm curious what the definition of a "good review" is if Juno wasn't considered to have received them. Not that Rotten Tomatoes is the be all, and end all of movie reviews, but it was rated 93% there... and didn't the screenplay win an Oscar? Not to bring up debates about the legitimacy of Oscar nominees and winners. - Andrew Sun, 18 May 2008 13:37:50 +0100 http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/media-music-movies-etc/43-movie-reviews/342-secrets-movie-reviews.html#comment-709 The extras in the new set are new, not simply ported from the old set. However, from some of the reviews I've come across, the older extras seem to be considered "better" by a number of reviewers. One person suggested buying the new set and then getting the bonus disc from ebay for a "complete" set. I plan to wait for the Blu-ray set that will eventually emerge. The current SD box set I have is more than sufficient for me. Apparently, this is the first time the films are available individually on SD DVD, so that is one of the reasons for the new releases. As for the comments about "why review SD films"? Why not? It's not like all the films on SD will magically appear in Blu in the next six months. There are many catalogue releases that are, only now, after more than a decade, making it to SD DVD (and I'm not holding my breath that they will make it to Blu in the next 5 years), so SD DVD is not nearly "over". - Ovation Sat, 03 May 2008 08:36:37 +0100 http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/media-music-movies-etc/43-movie-reviews/342-secrets-movie-reviews.html#comment-708 The point of this box set is the inclusion of all the new extras. The extras are in 16:9 format, so I suspect they are all in high def, and will be in the Blu-ray box set that we all hope will appear by the end of 2008. - JEJ Fri, 02 May 2008 08:52:52 +0100 http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/media-music-movies-etc/43-movie-reviews/342-secrets-movie-reviews.html#comment-707 I bought this box set back in 2003. Each movie is on it's own disc with a fourth disc containing bonus features and lots of extras. Very entertaining. I wonder what the differences are between the set I have and this new set. Or is this in fact the old set with a new name - "Adventure Collection"? - K_Thompson Fri, 02 May 2008 08:40:11 +0100 http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/media-music-movies-etc/43-movie-reviews/342-secrets-movie-reviews.html#comment-706 Why bother reviewing SD releases of movies that have been out for years? Does anyone really need a synopsis / commentary of this movie? Hope you don't review Star Wars episode 5 and giveaway who Luke's father is. :P Sorry, couldn't resist. :)Really do appreciate info on new movies, especially the technical info on new Blu-Rays. Amazing how many are at low MB/s. - Mark Fri, 02 May 2008 08:33:35 +0100 http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/media-music-movies-etc/43-movie-reviews/342-secrets-movie-reviews.html#comment-702 I bought a box set of these over a year ago (cheap, too--about 25$). I know the new set has some extras not available on mine but I'll wait until a Blu set comes along before "upgrading"--especially if the actual movies seem to be from the same transfers. - Ovation Fri, 02 May 2008 05:59:54 +0100
