Warner Bros Goes 100% Blu-Ray By Peter Sciretta/Jan. 4, 2008 3:07 pm EST Warner Bros has announced that they will release High Definition titles exclusively on Blu-Ray. “A two-format landscape has led to consumer confusion and indifference toward high definition, which has kept the technology from reaching mass adoption and becoming the important revenue stream that it can be for the industry,” said Kevin Tsujihara. “Consumers have clearly chosen Blu-ray, and we believe that recognizing this preference is the right step in making this great home entertainment experience accessible to the widest possible audience....

By Peter Sciretta/July 9, 2009 5:30 am EST It seems like no critique of Michael Mann’s Public Enemies would be complete without discussing the high definition digital cinematography. It seems to really annoy some people (there was a long discussion on this week’s /Filmcast about this) while others believe that the technology adds to the realism of the moment....

Petitions have been launched, and even the website HowardNOTCheadle.com. Of course, Paramount and Marvel aren’t going to to care even if the petition gets hundreds of thousands of signatures (Stop Uwe Boll petition stalled just over 300k). Sadly, the contracts have already been signed, and its a done deal....

New Bond Song Online Another Way To Die With Alicia Keys And Jack White

New Bond Song Online, “Another Way To Die” With Alicia Keys And Jack White By Devindra Hardawar/Sept. 18, 2008 11:57 pm EST One of the many things I loved about Casino Royale was the kick ass opening sequence featuring Chris Cornell’s “You Know My Name”. Coupled with the film’s brutal black and white first scene, Cornell’s song helped introduce Daniel Craig’s grittier Bond to audiences with style to spare. Now we finally have a glimpse at the follow up song for Quantum of Solace, “Another Way to Die”, featuring Alicia Keys and Jack White—and honestly, I’m a bit disappointed....
